An electronic device includes a storage device, a display device, and a control device. The storage device stores a document image sequence in which a plurality of document images of original documents are arranged in chronological order. The control device functions as an editor, a converter, and a display controller. The editor performs edition processing on the document images forming the document image sequence. The converter converts the document image sequence edited by the editor to a moving image. The display controller allows the display device to display the document images forming the document image sequence in an image display area of the display device.

An information processing apparatus includes a reading job acception section that accepts a reading job; a determination section that, in a case where the reading job acception section accepts a one page reading job subsequent to a previous one page reading job, determines an identity between the reading job and the previously accepted reading job; and a processing section that, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists as a result of determination of the determination section, processes the reading jobs as one reading job.

An image transmission system includes an information processing apparatus and an image reading apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a first controller generates, upon receipt of authentication information, location information, and restriction information, an access code using the cited information, and transmits the cited information and the access code to the image reading apparatus. In the image reading apparatus, a second controller stores the cited information and the access code, upon receipt thereof, in a storage device. In the case where an image file satisfies a condition indicated by the restriction information, when the information indicating the access code is received, the second controller transmits the image file to the shared folder indicated by the location information, using the authentication information, but keeps from transmitting the image file when the image file does not satisfy the condition indicated by the restriction information.

In order to achieve designation of a talk room of a chat service to share image data generated by scanning in an image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server, based on received information indicating a talk room of the chat server, the chat server controlling displaying of information indicating received image data on the talk room, includes a scanning unit configured to scan an image of an original document and generate image data based on the image, a designation unit configured to designate a talk room of the chat server, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the scanning unit and information indicating the talk room designated by the designation unit to the chat server.

In a scanning system including a web application cooperating with a message sharing system and an image processing apparatus provided with a scanner, the web application holds card information acquired from a scanning request source and a destination of scan data in association with each other in response to a scanning request from a user account belonging to the message sharing system. An image processing apparatus transmits the scan data generated based on scanning and the card information that has been read to the web application. The web application specifies a destination associated with the card information that has been received from the image processing apparatus and posts the scan data that have been transmitted from the image processor to the message sharing system.

An image reading system includes a server device and a first scanner communicably connected to the server device. The server device includes a distributed scanning storage unit that stores distributed scanning setting information defining a setting item of distributed scanning and including identification information. The first scanner includes a first receiver that receives, from a user, a command that includes the identification information and is a command to perform the distributed scanning, a first acquirer that acquires the distributed scanning setting information from the server device when the first receiver receives the command to perform the distributed scanning, a first reader that reads a first document sheet stack to generate first read data based on the distributed scanning setting information, and a first transmitter that transmits the first read data to the server device.

A multi-function/multi-purpose portable electronic device is disclosed. In one aspect, the device may include a display monitor configured to display an image and a scanner disposed below the display monitor and extending to cross the display monitor, the scanner not directly contacting the display monitor. The device may also include a base configured to support the scanner, the base including a first portion having a first thickness and a second portion having a second thickness greater than the first thickness, the first portion at least partially vertically overlapping the display monitor and the scanner. The device may further include a speaker disposed only in the second portion of the base. The device may also include a connector physically interconnecting the base and the display monitor to support the display monitor, at least a portion of the connector vertically overlapping the second portion of the base.

An electronic device includes a storage device, a display device, and a control device. The storage device stores a document image sequence in which a plurality of document images of original documents are arranged in chronological order. The control device functions as an editor, a converter, and a display controller. The editor performs edition processing on the document images forming the document image sequence. The converter converts the document image sequence edited by the editor to a moving image. The display controller allows the display device to display the document images forming the document image sequence in an image display area of the display device.
