A mobile data processing method, in which a request for performing an imaging data request by an image processing apparatus is initiated from a user of a mobile device. The method includes receiving first information generated by an image processing apparatus and second information generated by the mobile device. The first information and the second information are received by an information processing apparatus via a public network. The first and second information are stored in association with each other. The method continues by determining if a print job was received with the first information and the second information. The method may conclude by transmitting the imaging data request to the image processing apparatus from the information processing apparatus via a private network in response to determining that the imaging data request was received with the first information and the second information.

In general, a printing system of an exemplary embodiment includes a client terminal connected via a network, and a plurality of image forming apparatuses each including an operating unit which receives an operation input of a user. A first image forming apparatus that receives a print file from the client terminal transmits metadata of the print file to a second image forming apparatus. The second image forming apparatus displays a list of print files which are on standby for printing based on the metadata, and obtains a print file from the first image forming apparatus when a print instruction and a selection of a desired print file from the list of print files are received through the operating unit, and performs printing based the print file.

A transmit destination changing apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires track record information, the track record information indicating a track record of printing of print data transmitted from a print data transmitting apparatus to a first printer among multiple printers, the track record information indicating a track record of printing performed on each of the plural printers in response to a print request, and an output unit that outputs change instruction information if the track record information indicates that print data transmitted to the first printer from the print data transmitting apparatus is likely to be printed on a second printer among the multiple printers in response to a print request, the change instruction information instructing that the destination of the print data be changed to cause the print data to be transmitted to the second printer from the print data transmitting apparatus.

A server apparatus includes a first receiving unit configured to receive print data transmitted from a client apparatus, a storage unit configured to store the print data of which reception has finished by the first receiving unit, and a second receiving unit configured to receive, from a printing apparatus, a request of print data, and a transmission unit configured to, in response to the request received by the second receiving unit, transmit a list of print data to the printing apparatus, the list of print data including identification information of the print data stored in the storage unit and identification information of print data of which reception has been started but has not finished by the first reception unit yet.

A printing system includes a plurality of print apparatuses each including a CPU, a storage device including a job management program, and a display. The display displays a list screen, into which a first list of instruction execution type print jobs received from another of the plurality of print apparatuses and a second list of the instruction execution type print jobs of a logged-in user among the instruction execution type print jobs spooled in the storage device are combined on the display In the other of the plurality of print apparatuses, if status change of spooling of the logged-in user's instruction execution type print job has occurred, the print apparatus is notified of the status change of spooling from the other of the plurality of print apparatuses to update the list screen displayed on the display.

An information terminal includes: a communication unit; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit, wherein the control unit is configured to establish a communication channel with another terminal by using the communication unit, and the communication unit is configured to receive device information containing an address of an image processing device positioned on the periphery of the another terminal, and transmit the device information of the image processing device positioned on the periphery of the another terminal to an image processing device positioned on the periphery of the information terminal.

An information processing apparatus includes a first display controller, a second display controller, an image display controller and a first switching unit. The first display controller performs control such that a first screen is displayed on a display. The first screen is a screen that shows a specified destination and includes a first image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination. The second display controller performs control such that a second screen is displayed. The second screen is a screen that shows a specified destination. The image display controller performs control, in response to a predetermined operation performed while the second screen is displayed, such that a second image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination is displayed on the display. The first switching unit switches between the first screen and the second screen.

A print system includes a client device, plural mobile printers, and a server device. The client device issues a print instruction in accordance with a user operation. The plural mobile printers each receive a print instruction and move to a destination indicated by the print instruction so as to perform printing at the destination. The server device selects a mobile printer which will perform printing based on a print instruction issued by the client device, in accordance with selection standards including judgement standards for judging whether or not it is necessary to distribute a print instruction over plural mobile printers or to transfer a print instruction from one mobile printer to another mobile printer.

An image processing device includes: a hardware processor configured to: execute a process according to a received remote operation in response to reception of the remote operation from a master device registered in advance among a plurality of mobile information devices; confirm to a duplicate login device other than an own device among the plurality of image processing devices that the duplicate login device is remotely operated by the master device in a case where a remote operation of instructing connection with a sub device different from the master device is received from the master device; and execute a process according to a remote operation received from the sub device in a case where it is confirmed by a confirmation unit that the duplicate login device is remotely operated by the master device.

An information processing device includes: an identification information acquiring unit that acquires, from a mobile terminal having acquired, from a machine, first machine identification information for identifying the machine, mobile terminal identification information for identifying the mobile terminal and the first machine identification information; a job information acquiring unit that acquires, on a basis of the mobile terminal identification information, job information including at least job identification information for identifying a job being executed in another machine according to an instruction from the mobile terminal; an executability determining unit that determines, on a basis of used function information indicating a function to be used in the job, and first capacity information indicating a function executable by the machine, whether the machine can execute the job; and a job control unit that causes, when the job can be executed, the job to be distributed to and executed by the machine.
