An information processing apparatus includes a first execution unit, a second execution unit, and a display. The first execution unit performs a specific function. The second execution unit performs a common function which is commonly used from specific functions. The display displays, on an operation screen for a specific function, an operation receiving section for making a direct transition to an operation screen for performing a common function related to the specific function, not via another operation screen, and displays, on the operation screen for the common function to which a transition has been made through an operation on the operation receiving section, an operation receiving section for returning back to the operation screen for the specific function.

A print plugin different from an application displaying an application screen on a terminal may be unable to display a screen over the application screen at timing unintended by a user. In such a case, the print plugin is unable to display a warning screen for notifying the user of a warning related to print processing, and the user is unable to be informed of occurrence of the warning. If the warning screen is unable to be displayed over the application screen, the print plugin instructs the terminal to issue a notification for calling the warning screen.

A communication apparatus that enables to refer to transmission history information in response to settings of use proprieties for transmission methods. A recording unit records a history of a transmission job executed by the communication apparatus as transmission history information that includes a transmitting destination at least. A setting unit sets a use propriety of each of the transmission methods. A determination unit determines whether reference to the transmission history information is permitted in response to the use propriety of each of the transmission methods set by the setting unit and the transmitting destination included in the transmission history information, when a user instructs to refer to the transmission history information.

An information processing system includes a selection application activation unit that activates a selection application, which is an application selected by an operator, among applications stored in an image processing apparatus, and a specific application activation unit that activates a specific application in a case where there is a change in a state of the image processing apparatus, and does not activate the specific application in a case where there is a change in a state where the selection application is activated.

An image forming system of an embodiment includes a terminal device that transmits first print data to print an image in monochrome, second print data to print the image in color and a user ID; a print data storage section that stores the first print data, the second print data and the user ID transmitted from the terminal device in an associated manner; an authentication section that authenticates a user; a list acquisition section that acquires a list including the first and second print data associated with the user ID of the user authenticated by the authentication section; a print data acquisition section that acquires one print data selected from the acquired list by the list acquisition section; and an image forming section that prints an image formed with the print data acquired by the print data acquisition section.

Systems and methods relate generally to a document processing device. In an example method thereof, a document processing device is provided having a touch screen panel and configurable for touchless execution of a job. The job is performed with the document processing device with the touchless execution. The touchless execution includes: accessing a slide presentation mode; displaying a sequence of slides on the touch screen panel in the slide presentation mode; detecting paper accessible by a detection sensor of the document processing device; stopping at a slide of the sequence of slides responsive to a detection event of the detection sensor; pausing at the slide responsive to the detection event; and executing the job with the touchless execution responsive to persistence of the detection event by the detection sensor for a set duration during the pause.

An information processing system includes: a first processor including an information processing device configured to, when connecting to an external device through wireless communication based on a first wireless communication method, which is a short-range wireless communication method, transmit connection information for connecting to the information processing device through wireless communication based on a second wireless communication method different from the first wireless communication method to the connected external device; and a second processor including a terminal device configured to acquire the connection information by connecting to the information processing device through the wireless communication based on the first wireless communication method, and connect to the information processing device through the wireless communication based on the second wireless communication method in accordance with the acquired connection information and transmit authentication information for the information processing device to perform authentication processing.

A printing apparatus including: an operation section including a hardware key for receiving a first operation and a hardware key for receiving a direction designating operation for designating a direction from one or more directions; and a printing section. In a first mode, upon receiving the first operation, a first function is executed. In a second mode, upon receiving the direction designating operation, a focus position on a target region is moved in a direction designated by the direction designating operation, and, upon receiving the first operation, the focus position is moved to a position of a first image which is predetermined among a plurality of images.

A mobile terminal operated in cooperation with an information processing device capable of setting an authentication mode relating to user authentication to one mode selected from two kinds of modes of an authentication request mode requiring the user authentication, and a non-authentication request mode not requiring the user authentication, the mobile terminal including: a display unit configured to display a confirmation message inquiring a user of the mobile terminal whether to perform authentication operation; and a control unit configured to control display operation for displaying the confirmation message, acquiring, from the information processing device, authentication mode information being information representing whether the authentication mode is the authentication request mode or the non-authentication request mode, and displaying the confirmation message on the display unit, on condition that the authentication mode information is acquired, the authentication mode information representing that the authentication mode is the authentication request mode.

Based on one metadata template determined from among a plurality of metadata templates, a screen including a scan image, a plurality of keys defined in the one determined metadata template, and value input fields each corresponding to a different one of the plurality of keys is displayed, and in a case where a user selects any one of the plurality of keys displayed in the screen, character string areas determined to match a data format of a value corresponding to the key are displayed in such a manner that the character string areas are recognizable as value candidates on the scan image.
