An image scanning device scans one or plural document images of one or plural predetermined head pages, and a preview processing unit performs preview display of the document image(s) of the head page(s). After detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display, the image scanning device scans a document image of a subsequent page to the head page(s), and the image processing unit performs the image process for the document image of the subsequent page. Further, the image processing unit performs a part or whole of the image process for the document image(s) of the head page(s) before the preview display. If a part of the image process is displayed before the preview display, the image processing unit performs a remaining part of the image process after detecting a user operation to accept the document image on the preview display.

An image processing apparatus includes a flow execution unit configured to receive, in response to an instruction from a user to start an application installed in the image processing apparatus, a request to register a flow from the application; store information for identifying functions included in the flow and an execution order of the functions; switchably display setting screens for the respective functions included in the flow in response to a request from the application to execute the flow; and execute the functions identified based on the stored information in the stored execution order based on setting information input on the setting screens for the respective functions.

An image processing apparatus includes a management unit configured to manage a shortcut in association with one or more pieces of card information and a control unit configured to execute display control on a display, wherein, when first card information and second card information are managed in association with a first shortcut, the control unit executes control on a screen for the function corresponding to the first shortcut to display in a state where the corresponding group of setting values is applied to the function even if either one of the first card information and the second card information is read. Further, the number of pieces of card information that can be associated with the shortcut has an upper limit.

An image processing apparatus includes: a display; a memory configured to store instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: display a first screen displaying a setting history of an executed job and a second screen displaying an operation button for calling a registered job setting; and register the job setting corresponding to the setting history and display the operation button for calling the registered job setting on the second screen, when a job based on the setting history under specific control is executed a predetermined number of times or more in response to a selection performed by a user on the display on the first screen.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an image processing apparatus comprises one or more memories and one or more processors in communication with the one or more memories, the one or more processors performing: controlling executions of a plurality of applications; and setting a predetermined application to be activated from among the plurality of applications if detecting that a document is set, wherein the controlling includes activating the set predetermined application in a case where a document is set for an image reading unit.

An image forming apparatus that dynamically and suitably switches login processing between a user who selects an icon and a user who is identified by reading of a card. The image forming apparatus searches user information of a user who logs in by selecting a user icon displayed on a display unit and a user who logs in using a card, and performs the login processing on a searched user.

There is provided a method for an information processing apparatus configured to communicate with an image processing apparatus. The method includes displaying a screen of an application, wherein the screen corresponds to a screen displayed on a display unit of the image processing apparatus and is subjected to display control by the image processing apparatus, and transmitting an instruction to stop the display control to the image processing apparatus if a predetermined condition is satisfied in a state where the application is no longer operating as a user's operation target on the information processing apparatus.

In a case where an image processing apparatus and a terminal display screens in an associated manner, if the terminal receives a user operation in a state where an enlarged screen is displayed only on the terminal, and the terminal transmits information about the operation as it is to the image processing apparatus, processing not intended by the user may possibly be performed. Therefore, when the terminal receives a user operation in a state where an enlarged screen is displayed only on the terminal, the terminal does not transmit the operation information as it is to the image processing apparatus.

A voice operation system includes: an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording material; a server that accepts voice information related to an operation on the image forming apparatus, and gives an operation instruction to the image forming apparatus; and a voice input/output device that converts an input voice into voice information, sends the voice information to the server, receives voice information as a response to the voice information related to the operation on the image forming apparatus, and emits a sound of the voice information, wherein the server has a hardware processor that stores information on a part of a function or configuration of the image forming apparatus, and the server determines executability of an operation associated with voice information transmitted from the voice input/output device, and causes the image forming apparatus to execute determination of executability of an operation that is not determinable.

An apparatus is configured to: cause a display to display a GUI comprising a plurality of items; receive user input that is scribed over any of the plurality of items displayed on the display; provide the user with a substantially real-time feedback of the scribing by applying digital ink indicating a scribed line on the GUI; select a first item of the plurality of items based on a position of the scribing within the GUI; recognize a trail of the scribed line; in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a first predetermined trail, perform, on the first item, first processing corresponding to the first predetermined trail; and in response to the trail of the scribed line being recognized as a second predetermined trail, perform second processing on the first item. The second processing corresponds to the second predetermined trail and is from the first processing.
