A server includes memory, a registration request receiver, a first determiner, and a first memory controller. The memory stores device identification information and service identification information in association with each other. The registration request receiver receives from an external device, a registration request including first service identification information and specific device identification information. The first service identification information identifies a first service to be provided to a user of a specific communication device. The specific device identification information identifies the specific communication device. In response to the registration request received from the external device, the first determiner determines whether to provide the first service to the user of the specific communication device. In response to a determination to provide the first service, the first memory stores the first service identification information in the memory in association with the specific device identification information.

An information processing apparatus is provided. The apparatus generates a name using characters recognized in image data, assign the name to the image data, and store the image data; makes a request for approval by a user regarding the name, transmit the image data to an external apparatus after the image data is approved by the user, and deletes the image data; in a case where the image data has exceeded a predetermined storage period without the name being approved by the user, in a case where the name satisfies a predetermined condition, transmits the image data to the external apparatus before deleting the image data; and deletes the image data that has exceeded the predetermined storage period without the name being approved by the user.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to, store, in a memory, received fax data as a stored document in a distribution destination folder corresponding to the fax data, in response to detection of a delete operation performed on the stored document, determine a state of the stored document to generate a first determination result, when the first determination result indicates that the stored document is in a read state, determine whether a period from a time at which the stored document was read to a time at which the delete operation was performed is within a preset period to generate a second determination result, and when the first determination result indicates that the stored document is in an unread state, or when the second determination result indicates that the period is within the preset period, copy the stored document to a specific folder and delete the stored document.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for the delivery and maintenance of faxes where the faxes may remain at a faxing system for a minimal amount of time. The faxing system may send a queued fax to a connector responsive to a request from the connector to pull or retrieve a fax. The connector is configured to send a release notification to the faxing system after the fax is received. The faxing system is configured to delete the queued fax as soon as confirmation of the delivery of the fax can be determined or when an expiration time has elapsed.

An image forming apparatus which can prevent from automatically deleting, without user's intention, a box document restored from another image forming apparatus. A document storage deadline is set with respect to a folder thereof for storing box documents so as to set, as a target to be deleted from the folder, a box document having been stored in the folder over the document storage deadline. When it is determined that one of the box documents stored in the folder is a restored document, the one of the box documents is controlled to be excluded from the target.

In a digital camera having a wireless communicator with a server, a storage controller treats full size image data and display size image data unequally if the full size image data has been already sent to the server. For example, the display size image data is not allowed to be replaced by new digital image data unless the digital camera is not in use over a prescribed time. Own image data and other's image data are treated equally. Image data received from outside and retrieved from inside memory are treated equally. Search key for own image data and related search keys existing in the outside are indicated in a comparable manner. The digital camera receives search key from neighboring advertiser to send it for Internet search of advertisement. Search key received from neighboring notable site is sent for Internet search of photographs of the notable site taken by others.

The present disclosure describes a system and method to manage image file storage that includes a memory device to store instructions and at least one processing device to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to determine a blur indication or a burst characteristic for each of a plurality of files stored on a storage medium, automatically identify candidate image files to delete based at least in part on the blur indication or the burst characteristic, and delete at least some of the candidate image files based on receiving a delete indication.
