A proxy logger is a proxy or gateway between a Semantic Query/Certification tool and a Multifunction device, such as a multifunction printer. A user specifies the beginning and end points of a specific operation and the proxy logger records network requests and decrypts/encrypts the traffic. The proxy logger and SQCT logs the results for later consumption. Using this method the Semantic Query/Certification tool may generate a certification report or enumerate how a semantic operation is performed for different models of MFDs. The output of the log will be used to build device management profile for the MFD.

An image processing device includes a display unit and a processor configured to determine whether or not functions of the image processing device are executable by the image processing device, and cause the display unit to display a screen including a first item corresponding to a first function that is determined to be executable and a second item corresponding to a second function that is determined to be not executable. The first item is displayed on the screen in a first display format, and the second item is displayed on the screen in a second display format that is less conspicuous than the first display format.

An information processing device may activate a first application program for providing a first function corresponding to a first item image, in a case where the first item image is selected from among N1 pieces of item images in a first item selection screen, under a non-connection state in which a storage device that stores program control data is not connected to the information processing device. The information processing device may activate a second application program for providing a second function, in a case where a second item image is selected from among N2 pieces of item images in a second item selection screen, under a connection state in which a second storage device that stores first program control data is connected to the information processing device, and display a function related screen which is related to the second function in accordance with the first program control data.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, an executing unit, and a controller. The acquiring unit acquires operational information indicating an operation performed at a second apparatus by a user. The executing unit executes a process. The controller causes a display to display information indicating a recommended process to be executed by the executing unit after the operation. The recommended process is set based on the operational information.

A processing system includes a detecting unit that detects an operator operation to set a recording medium onto an image processing apparatus or to move part of the image processing apparatus wherein the operator operation is an operation performed by an operator, and a controller that registers a registration processes and performs, in response to detected operator operation, a registration process among registration processes registered in advance wherein if one or more of the registration processes satisfy a predetermined condition, the controller registers the one or more of the registration processes which are changed not to perform in response to the operator operation or to perform the one or more of the registration processes after performing a particular process.

An information processing apparatus includes an extractor, a creator, and a sender. The extractor compares items of capability information concerning plural devices and extracts a capability which is not sufficiently provided in a first device but is provided in a second device. The plural devices include the first and second devices. The creator creates a menu to be used in the first device. The first device is able to display the capability extracted by the extractor by using an icon in a mode different from an icon representing another capability and to display device information which indicates that the capability is available in the second device. The sender sends the menu to the first device.

An information processing device includes a control unit that causes a display unit provided in each of a first device and a second device to display cooperative operation information for operating a cooperative function achievable by linking the first device and the second device.

An image forming apparatus and a method to normally execute an application using a function, which is not supported by the image forming apparatus, on the image forming apparatus are provided. An example image forming apparatus includes a user interface device to receive an execution request of an application using a first function and replace an execution request of the first function according to the execution request of the application with an execution request of a second function corresponding to the first function, a controller to generate an execution command of the second function according to the execution request of the second function, and a second function unit to execute the second function according to the execution command.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller. If images related to devices that have been identified are superimposed on one another, the controller causes information about one or plural cooperative functions that use functions of the devices to be displayed.

A job processing apparatus that is capable of positively stopping a transmission job desired by a user. A transmission job is input according to a user's operation. Uncompleted transmission jobs out of input transmission jobs are managed by a job management table. A first stop instruction for stopping a transmission job is received according to a user's operation. In a case where the first stop instruction is received during display of a configuration screen for making settings of a transmission job, a transmission job input last out of the transmission jobs managed by the job management table is searched for, and the searched-for transmission job is stopped.
