A system and method for capturing and rendering of images includes a wearable or portable data device including a digital camera. A data storage includes data specifying a default image printer and default print settings for digital images. An image capture operation triggers a prompt for expedited image rendering in accordance with preset default settings. Input responsive to the prompt selects for immediate commencement of a print operation for a captured image in accordance with default settings. Image capture and communication can be accomplished with wearable digital eyewear working in concert with an associated, portable data device such as a smartphone. Captured images may be queued in a user device when a data path to the printer is unavailable.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that allows a remote operation terminal to operate an image processing apparatus connected by SIP.

A method, system, and program product for communicating with machines and end users connected to a network. Information sent to or from the machines is transmitted using electronic mail or a via a direct connection. The electronic mail may be transmitted over the Internet to a service center or from a service center to a resource administrator, but also may remain within a local or wide area network for transmission between a machine and an end user or a resource administrator. E-mail messages may be transmitted from a computer which is attached to a device which is being monitored or controlled and include information regarding the status, usage or capabilities of the attached device. The device may send status messages and usage information of the device by an end user to either a resource administrator or to a service center on the Internet through a firewall.

A control point includes a communication interface to search for one or more image forming apparatuses using digital living network alliance (DLNA), a user interface unit through which at least one piece of content is selected for printing using a user interface of the control point, and through which an image forming apparatus is selected from among the searched image forming apparatuses to perform printing, a DLNA stack unit to set a connection policy regarding connection to the selected image forming apparatus, and to selectively control the DLNA connection status to the selected image forming apparatus according to the connection policy, and a controller to control the communication interface to transmit print data corresponding to the selected content-for-printing and the connection policy to the selected image forming apparatus.

An information processing device include a facsimile obtaining unit obtaining a facsimile; a specifying unit that specifies a subsidiary unit as a transfer target of the facsimile; an executable notification method information obtaining unit obtaining executable notification method information indicating a facsimile reception notification method that can be executed in the subsidiary unit; a notification priority information obtaining unit obtaining notification priority information in which priority information is associated for each piece of notification method information indicating a facsimile reception notification method; a determining unit determining a facsimile reception notification method to execute based on the executable notification method information and the notification priority information; a notification method information notifier notifying the subsidiary unit of notification method information indicating the determined facsimile reception notification method; and a print instructor instructing the subsidiary unit to print the facsimile.

The device may send status messages and usage information of the device by an end user to either a resource administrator or to a service center on the Internet through a firewall.

A communication apparatus may perform: communicating a wireless setting value with a printer via a first wireless communication interface, establishing the wireless connection with the printer via a second wireless communication interface using the wireless setting value; sending first image data representing a first image of a print target to the printer via the second wireless communication interface using the wireless connection; determining, after the first image data is sent to the printer, whether an apparatus-side disconnection condition is satisfied; disconnecting the wireless connection when it is determined that the apparatus-side disconnection condition is satisfied; and sending, when it is determined that the apparatus-side disconnection condition is not satisfied, second image data representing a second image of a print target to the printer via the second wireless communication interface using the wireless connection.

An image processing apparatus capable of being remotely operated by a remote operation device includes an operation acceptor, and a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor executes a process corresponding to the operation accepted by the operation acceptor, in the case where a cooperation mode is set, executes a process in accordance with a command received from the remote operation device, acquires a type of a first medium used by the remote operation device, in the case where the cooperation mode is not set, notifies the user by using a second medium when an operation is accepted by the operation acceptor, and in the case where the cooperation mode is set, if the second medium is different from the first medium, notifies the user by using the first medium when an operation is accepted by the operation acceptor.

Provided is an image forming apparatus that allows a remote operation terminal to operate an image processing apparatus connected by SIP. On this account, the image forming apparatus (100) connected to the remote operation terminal (300) by SIP includes a remote operation-request message receiving part that receive a remote-operation request message from the remote operation terminal (300), a remote-operation response message transmitting part that transmits a remote-operation response message in response to the remote-operation request message, and an operation-screen information transmitting part that transmits operation screen information of the image forming apparatus (100) to the remote operation terminal (300) in accordance with the communication condition of the communication session when an SIP-based communication session is established between the remote operation terminal (300) and the image forming apparatus (100).

There is provided a server apparatus including a storage unit configured to store setting information used by a client apparatus to operate, a reception unit configured to receive, from a first client apparatus, a deletion request for deleting a part of the setting information from among the setting information stored in the storage unit, a notification unit configured to notify a second client apparatus of update information indicating that the part of the setting information for which the deletion request has been made is deleted, and a control unit configured to perform control in such a manner that the update information remains to be stored in the storage unit until a predetermined condition is satisfied after the deletion request is received, and is deleted from the storage unit in accordance with a satisfaction of the predetermined condition.
