An information processing device includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a first application and a second application. The processor activates the second application in response to an activation instruction to activate the second application. The processor executes the first application to display, on a display, a first screen for receiving an input for connecting the information processing device to a communication target device, in response to the activation instruction to activate the second application, while the information processing device is disconnected from the communication target device. The processor executes the first application to establish a communication connection with the communication target device based on the input received on the first screen. The processor executes the second application to display, on the display, a second screen for performing processing of the second application after the communication connection is established with the communication target device.

An image processing device that provides an operation terminal device with an operation screen and receives input information from the operation terminal device, comprising a hardware processor that: communicates with the operation terminal device in either a first communication mode or a second communication mode, which is different from the first communication mode; determines whether the communication with the operation terminal device is in the first communication mode or the second communication mode; and creates a first screen, which is the operation screen imposed with no limit, and provides the operation terminal device with the created first screen when the communication is determined to be made in the first communication mode, and creates a second screen, which is the operation screen imposed with a limit, and provides the operation terminal device with the created second screen when the communication is determined to be made in the second communication mode.

An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to form an image, transmit the image to a server that generates a processed image of the image by executing a designated image process on the image and is on an outside of a firewall, and, in a case where the image includes designation information designating the processed image to be transmitted to an instructed transmission destination via a fax line, request an alternative apparatus to fax-transmit the processed image to the transmission destination, the alternative apparatus being on an inside of the firewall together and having a fax function.

An information processing apparatus and a communication terminal can carry out first wireless communication and second wireless communication. The first wireless communication is established when a distance between the information processing apparatus and the communication terminal is equal to or less than a first distance. The information processing apparatus determines whether data communication is to be carried out over the first wireless communication or the second wireless communication. When the data communication is to be carried out over the first wireless communication, the information processing apparatus carries out the data communication over the first wireless communication. When the data communication is to be carried out over the second wireless communication, the information processing apparatus carries out data communication of first setting information with the communication terminal over the first wireless communication to establish the second wireless communication and carries out data communication over the second wireless communication.

An electronic device, such as a digital camera, includes a deletion mode whereby a camera/electronic device user can delete captured images or data files that have already been transferred in order to make room in the electronic device or digital camera memory for capturing further images. In one embodiment, a digital camera keeps track of which images have already been transferred to an external storage device and presents those to the user as potential images to be deleted. In another embodiment, the user is presented with a delete all transferred images which when selected deletes all the captured images that have already been transferred. In still another embodiment, deletion criteria are used to prioritize which images are deleted first.

A multifunction peripheral (100) is connected to a terminal device (200) via a communication link, receives image data transmitted from the terminal device (200) and forms an image based on the image data. Further, the multifunction peripheral (100) detects the state of connection of the communication link and thereby detects whether or not communication with the terminal device (200) is interrupted. If interruption of communication is detected while image data transmitted from the terminal device is being received, the multifunction peripheral suspends the unfinished state of reception of image data.

A terminal device stores, without accepting user input of predetermined connection information, predetermined connection information without acquiring the predetermined connection information from a communication device, connects to the communication device using the stored predetermined connection information, and communicates with the communication device using the predetermined connection information.

An information processing apparatus is described. The information processing apparatus executes an information process while transmitting and receiving data to and from an information terminal device in response to a request from the information terminal device. The information processing apparatus includes a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with the information terminal device, an output module configured to output an image, and a controller configured to control the output module to output an image containing a code symbol which can be optically read. The code symbol indicates connection information for wireless connection from the information terminal device to the communication module and identification information for identifying the information processing apparatus for data transmission.

An information processing device includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a first application and a second application. The processor activates the second application in response to an activation instruction to activate the second application. The processor executes the first application to display, on a display, a first screen for receiving an input for connecting the information processing device to a communication target device, in response to the activation instruction to activate the second application, while the information processing device is disconnected from the communication target device. The processor executes the first application to establish a communication connection with the communication target device based on the input received on the first screen. The processor executes the second application to display, on the display, a second screen for performing processing of the second application after the communication connection is established with the communication target device.
