An information processing apparatus includes a first execution unit, a second execution unit, and a display. The first execution unit performs a specific function. The second execution unit performs a common function which is commonly used from specific functions. The display displays, on an operation screen for a specific function, an operation receiving section for making a direct transition to an operation screen for performing a common function related to the specific function, not via another operation screen, and displays, on the operation screen for the common function to which a transition has been made through an operation on the operation receiving section, an operation receiving section for returning back to the operation screen for the specific function.

There is provided a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus including a displaying device, cause the processor to execute processes of receiving a designation of the group of images to be displayed on the displaying device, judging whether arrangement information representing an arranging direction of a group of images when displayed on the displaying device is associated with the designated group of images, displaying the designated group of images on the displaying device such that: (1) when the designated group of images is associated with the arrangement information, the designated group of images are displayed with the arranging direction represented by the arrangement information, and (2) when the designated group of images is not associated with the arrangement information, the designated group of images are displayed with a predetermined default arranging direction.

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.

An information processing system includes an information processing terminal and a device. The device includes a first display unit configured to display a screen and a transmitting unit configured to transmit identification information relating to the screen being displayed by the first display unit to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes a receiving unit configured to receive the identification information from the device, an acquiring unit configured to acquire data corresponding to the received identification information, and a second display unit configured to display the acquired data.

Disclosed is a guidance information display device, including: a display unit; a camera unit; an action detecting unit to detect a specific action of a user; and a control unit to instruct the display unit to display guidance information when the specific action is detected by the action detecting unit and a specific instrument to be operated is shot by the camera unit, the displayed guidance information corresponding to a combination of the detected specific action and the shot instrument to be operated.

An information processing system including at least one input-output device and performing a sequence of processes using electronic data that include image data and print data includes a hardware processor that executes a program so as to implement: an input-output service supply unit configured to perform a collaboration process of causing a hardware computer system implementing an external storage service to collaborate with the input-output device, a request data generation unit configured to generate request data bound for the input-output service supply unit based on metadata, and a request unit configured to request the input-output service supply unit to perform the collaboration process using the request data.

In an operation assistance system, an operation assistance method, and a computer-readable recording medium recording an operation assistance program, each of which assists with making an operation setting of an image forming apparatus by using a mobile communication terminal, the mobile communication terminal wirelessly communicates with the image forming apparatus, and at least two types of setting items among plural types of the setting items for the image forming apparatus are simultaneously set by a single touch operation on an operation screen of the mobile communication terminal.

In a case where a service for performing specified processings of document data as one job is processed in a cooperative manner on a network, a service processing state is exhibited in a proper notice form in each job unit and in each processing unit in the job, so that the processing state can be properly recognized from the viewpoint of accounting, security and privacy.

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.

A memory of a PC stores a setting application and a browser, and an MFP includes an EWS and is configured to provide a EWS page. A CPU of the PC receives a customization instruction of the EWS page through a user IF with using a setting application and stores the customization instruction. Further, when receiving a displaying instruction of the EWS page, the CPU accesses the EWS page of the MFP through a communication IF, receives a web page, generates a customized web page by applying the customization setting stored in the storing to the web page received in the receiving, and displays the customized web page on the user interface by executing the browser.
