A flow application receives an event generated by an MFP. If a type of data relating to the event is an expansion program including a definition file, and if an event type is installation, the flow application registers an object associated with the definition file included in the expansion program according to installation of the expansion program.

There is provided an information processing apparatus comprising: a storage unit configured to store a plurality of process modules including a first process module for performing an embedding process by which information is embedded in image data; a setting unit configured to set a condition for performing the embedding process by the first process module; and a controlling unit configured to control a workflow in which one or more processes respectively performed by the process modules, including the first process module, are sequentially performed; wherein the first process module performs the embedding process under the set condition in response to detecting that image data input to the first process module in controlling the workflow is in a preset image format.

An information processing system includes a storage storing flow information in association with application identification information, for each application for executing a sequence of processes, the flow information defining program identification information and an execution order of the programs; a storage storing screen information in association with the application identification information for each application; a transmitter for sending, to a device, the screen information associated with the application identification information, when a first request including the application identification information is received from the device; a receiver for receiving a second request including information relating to the electronic data specified by a user in the screen displayed on the device; an acquirer for acquiring the flow information associated with the application identification information; and an executor for executing the programs identified by the program identification information, in the execution order, to execute the sequence of processes.

An example method performed at a client device includes generating a workflow based on an input received through a user interface device of the client device, searching for an image forming device capable of performing every work included in the workflow, and transmitting workflow information regarding the workflow to one image forming device of image forming devices found by the searching.

A method for printing digital images on at least one input roll of media in order to form at least one output roll by means of a roll-to-roll printing system is disclosed. The roll-to-roll printing system includes a digital image queue including an entry for each digital image to be printed. The method includes registering in an entry of the digital image queue a first digital item identifying the digital image and digital items of print properties of the digital image, printing the digital image according to the order of the entry in the digital image queue, and registering in the entry a second digital item identifying an input roll on which the digital image is going to be printed and a third digital item identifying an output roll on which the printed digital image is going to be wound. A roll-to-roll printing system is configured to apply the method.

An information processing system includes: an operation unit that receives an operational input; and an main body unit that operates depending on the operational input, wherein, the operation unit includes a first setting manager that transmits, to the main body unit, first setting information in which setting information of at least one operation unit application which is an application working in the operation unit is integrated and the main body unit includes a second setting manager that outputs second setting information in which setting information of at least one main body unit application which is an application working in the main body unit and the first setting information is integrated.

A device includes a first requester, an acquirer, a transmitter, a storage controller, a second requester, and an executor. The first requester is configured to issue a request for launching a program to a server. The acquirer is configured to acquire identifying information from the server in response to the launching request and identifies the program. The transmitter is configured to transmit device information that identifies the device to the server in response to a transmission request transmitted from the server. The storage controller is configured to store, in association with the identifying information, request information which allows accessing the server and the device information in a storage unit. The second requester is configured to transmit the request information to the server. The executor is configured to execute the program which is launched in the server and associated with the request information.

An image forming apparatus includes a first device and a second device communicably connected to the first device. The first device includes a first memory to store, for each one of a plurality of workflows executable by the image forming apparatus, target information to be used for displaying a setting screen and first circuitry. The second device includes a second memory to store, before a user instruction to display a menu is input, target information to be used to display the menu for selecting one of the plurality of workflows to be performed by the image forming apparatus, a display, and second circuitry. The second circuitry displays, on the display, the menu based on the target information stored in the second memory, obtains, from the first memory, target information corresponding to the workflow selected via the menu, and displays, on the display, a setting screen corresponding to the workflow selected, based on the target information obtained from the first memory.

An information processing system is provided that includes a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus includes a first storage unit configured to store a first program that has been developed at a first region and a first processor configured to implement processes of receiving, via a network, a second program that has been developed at a second region and stored in the second information processing apparatus, and generating a program product unit including at least one selected program that has been selected by a user from among the first program stored in the first storage unit and the second program received via the network.
