A communication apparatus includes a checking unit, a data transmitting unit, and a process history transmitting unit. The checking unit communicates with each of multiple destinations for data and checks whether or not the data is capable of being written at the destination. The data transmitting unit transmits the data to the destination on which the checking unit has performed the checking operation. The process history transmitting unit transmits a process history about the data, to the destination to which the data transmitting unit transmits the data.

An information processing apparatus, includes a transmission unit that transmits information; a first display control unit that controls, when a plurality of recipients to transmit the information are designated, a display unit to display a first list including the plurality of recipients; and a second display control unit that controls the display unit to display recipient-related information related to the recipient included in the first list, in a case where the first list is unable to be fitted within a single screen of the display unit.

A method of transmitting data from an image forming apparatus, the method including: receiving identification information of a destination of the data; determining whether to transmit the data to the destination corresponding to the received identification information based on a security policy of the image forming apparatus; and transmitting the data to the destination in response to the destination being determined to be a destination to where the data is allowed to be transmitted, based on the security policy.

A method for controlling a communication apparatus includes receiving a transmission destination, acquiring identification information of a user who inputs a transmission destination of image data, requesting identification information of a checker for the transmission destination, acquiring the requested checker identification information, and storing the acquired user identification information and the acquired checker identification information as transmission history information of the image data.

A document processing system includes an embedded controller that has both a local area network interface for receiving documents over an associated network and a wireless personal area network interface for communicating with mobile computing devices using BLUETOOTH low power communications. The embedded controller transmits broadcasts message to nearby mobile computing devices that send responses to the broadcast messages. Based on the RSSI of a received response, the embedded controller can determines whether a particular mobile computing device is in close proximity, indicating that a user is present at the document processing system. The embedded controller sends identification data associated with the document processing system to the mobile computing device. The user of the mobile computing device selects the document processing system to print a document, and the mobile computing device uses the identification data to route the document to the document processing system over a wireless local area network.

A facsimile, a control method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The facsimile designates destination information according to a designation operation by a user, extracts the destination information from an image indicated by image information, determines whether the destination information designated according to the designation operation and the destination information extracted from the image match, and display on a display, a notification screen based on a result of determination.

A server may establish a session with a function execution device via the Internet, the session being for executing server-push communication, the function execution device being capable of executing at least a facsimile function, receive first image data from a terminal device via the Internet, and in a case where the first image data is received from the terminal device, send facsimile request information to the function execution device via the Internet by using the session, the facsimile request information being for requesting a facsimile transmission of an image corresponding to the first image data.

An image processing apparatus capable of reducing time and labor of a user required to set information on a transfer destination. The image processing apparatus communicates with a server which provides a transfer service. An original on which a transfer destination is written is read to generate image data of the original. Optical character recognition is performed on the image data to extract a number having a predetermined number of digits. The number and position information of the number in the image data are stored. Information on the transfer destination, included in the image data, is acquired based on the number and the position information of the number. Control is performed to transmit a transfer instruction notification including the information on the transfer destination to the server.

Provided is a service providing system including: a service providing server providing a printer use service; and a user terminal configured to communicate with the service providing server, in which the user terminal receives an input of a card number recorded in a service card for receiving the printer use service and transmits the received card number to the service providing server, and the service providing server performs authentication processing of the service card based on the card number received from the user terminal and performs printer delivery processing of causing a service printer to be delivered when authentication of the service card in the authentication processing is successful.

An electronic apparatus includes circuitry that selects at least one destination information set for transmission from a plurality of address books each holding a plurality of destination information sets. In response to reception of a notification of a change in one of the plurality of address books, the circuitry determines whether the selected at least one destination information set includes a destination information set selected from the one of the plurality of address books corresponding to the notification of the change. Based on a determination that the selected at least one destination information set includes the destination information set selected from the one of the plurality of address books corresponding to the notification of the change, the circuitry resets the selected at least one destination information set.
