An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to enable execution of plural kinds of application software provided from plural external cooperation services, enable execution of function display where function instruction icons for instructing which function is executed, among functions executable in cooperation with the application software of the external cooperation services are mostly displayed on a selection screen and service display where plural service instruction icons for instructing which external cooperation service is executed, among the plural external cooperation services are mostly displayed on the selection screen, and switch a display format to be executed between a first display format in which the function display is executed and the service instruction icons of the external cooperation services capable of executing a function of the selected function instruction icon in cooperation are displayed and a second display format in which the service display is executed and the function instruction icons of functions executable by the external cooperation service of the selected service instruction icon in cooperation are displayed, depending on a condition.

An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an original, a transmission unit configured to transmit image data to an external apparatus, a printing unit configured to print an image, a display unit configured to display the image, and a control unit configured to suspend a job executed by the printing unit in response to a selection of a key for suspending a currently executed job, display a list of jobs on the display unit, and cancel a job selected by a user from the displayed list of the jobs. The control unit displays a list of transmission jobs for the transmission unit to transmit the image data generated when the reading unit reads the original in response to the selection of the key during display of a main menu screen for accepting a selection of a function to be used.

An information processing apparatus communicably connected with an intermediary device capable of communicating with at least one device, the information processing apparatus including: circuitry configured to receive, from a terminal operated by a user, identification information that the terminal has acquired from the extraneous source; and transmit a request for execution of a process associated with the acquired identification information to the intermediary device, the request for execution causing the intermediary device to execute the process according to the request for execution to control the device.

A multi-function peripheral as an image processing device according to the present invention is wirelessly connected with a mobile terminal having a display and is capable of accepting an operation by a user via the mobile terminal. For this, a terminal side setting screen for operating the multi-function peripheral is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal. The terminal side setting screen includes buttons for an operation requiring the user to be in the vicinity of the multi-function peripheral. These buttons are brought in a mode capable of accepting the operation, when an estimated distance between the multi-function peripheral and the mobile terminal is less than or equal to a threshold value, whereas are brought in a mode incapable of accepting the operation, when the estimated distance exceeds the threshold value.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations. Four sides of a document included in captured image data are detected. Lengths of the detected four sides of the document are calculated. The operations further include determining which of a plurality of predefined paper sizes corresponds to the document based on the calculated lengths of the four sides. The determined corresponding paper size is set as a document size of the document.

An image forming apparatus comprising a display and a reader that reads an IC card. The image forming apparatus performs settings for user authentication and displays on the display a menu screen for selecting a function of the image forming apparatus. In a case where in user authentication by the IC card and automatic registration of user information are set in the settings, a user of an IC card is able to log in the image forming apparatus using information of the IC card when the reader detects the IC card of the user.

An image forming apparatus includes an operating mechanism, a storage device, and a control device. The operating mechanism executes a job. The control device functions as a controller. When accepting a request to prepare execution of the job, the controller allows the operating mechanism to prepare the execution of the job to thus generate data for output and allows the storage device to save the data for output. When accepting a request to execute the job, the controller allows the operating mechanism to execute the job based on the data for output.

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.

In a case where a user adds or deletes a separator to or from an automatically generated file name or the like, it is made possible to automatically generate a file reflecting the presence/absence of a separator at the time of transforming a scanned image of a document of the same kind into a file from next time. In a case where a document similar to a document scanned in the past is scanned, based on results of learning including the presence/absence of a separator, a property for a document scanned this time is generated automatically and presented.

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a storage, and a controller. The controller displays either an execution screen that accepts an execution command of a job or a simple execution screen whose displayed contents are simplified from those of the execution screen, on the display. The storage stores history information related to the job which was instructed to be executed through either the execution screen or the simple execution screen. The controller displays the execution screen or the simple execution screen on the display unit, in accordance with the history information selected by the user.
