An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to store a storage range identifier for identification of a range of a location at which image data is stored in a data storing apparatus, and an identifier common to an identifier that is retained by the data storing apparatus, transmit read image data and the identifier to the data storing apparatus, generate a storage position identifier for identification of a position at which the read image data is stored, the storage position identifier being generated by using the storage range identifier and a character string that is generated by an algorithm common to an algorithm in the data storing apparatus, and transmit the generated storage position identifier to a terminal that uses the image data stored at the position that is identified by using the storage position identifier.

A first printer may include a controller configured to: in a case where a first predetermined operation is accepted in a state where second printer identification information and specific service-related information are stored in association with each other in the server, cause the display unit to display a notification screen that prompts a second predetermined operation, the second predetermined operation being for changing a printer used for the service from a second printer to the first printer; and in a case where the second predetermined operation is accepted, send a printer changing request including first printer identification information to the server. In a case where the printer changing request is sent to the server, the first printer identification information is stored, instead of the second printer identification information, in association with the specific service-related information in the server.

In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to an external device. The external device receives a selection of image data through plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the external device, and prints an image based on the selected image data. The image forming apparatus accepts a selection indicating whether a communication between the external device and the image forming apparatus is performed by a first communication system method or a second communication system method. The image forming apparatus performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the first communication system method when the first communication system method is selected, and performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the second communication system method when the second communication system method is selected.

A communication apparatus searches for a device using a first wireless communication, instructs, using the first wireless communication, a device selected from a list based the result of the search to operate in an access point mode, obtains, using the first wireless communication, connection information from the device operating in the access point mode, establishes a second wireless connection with the device based on the obtained connection information.

An image scanning unit scans a page image from a document and generates image data of the page image in accordance with a job request by a login user. A document file of the image data is generated, and saved in a specific folder. An additional information generating unit generates specific additional information that indicates content of the page image. A communication processing unit transmits a message including a network identifier of the document file to a destination user specified by the job request. A server unit transmits the document file upon receiving a transmission request that specifies the network identifier. Further, the communication processing unit (a) does not include the additional information into the message if the destination user is the login user and (b) includes the additional information into the message if the destination user is not the login user.

A printer may include a memory configured to store print setting information. The print setting information indicates M setting values corresponding to M setting items. Each time a print request including a plurality of setting values corresponding to a plurality of setting items including the M setting items is received, a controller of the printer may be configured to store number of times information in association with received information. In a case where first number of times information is stored in association with first received information and the first number of times information indicates that the number of times the print request was received is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller may be configured to store first print setting information as new print setting information. The first print setting information may indicate M setting values indicated by the first received information.

A communication system includes an information processing apparatus and a facsimile apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus transmits, to the facsimile apparatus, first job information that includes a single piece of first image information and includes two or more pieces of address information that respectively indicate addresses of transmission destinations of the first image information. When the first job information is received from the information processing apparatus, based on the two or more pieces of address information that are included in the received first job information, the facsimile apparatus broadcasts the first image information by facsimile communication to the addresses indicated respectively by the two or more pieces of address information.

An information terminal transmits information relating to user authentication to an image processing apparatus via short-range wireless communication. The image processing apparatus performs processing for the user authentication using the received information, and transitions to a status where a function of the image processing apparatus is used via an operation unit upon condition that the user authentication has succeeded. The information terminal transmits data to be used in any one of individual functions included in the image processing apparatus to the image processing apparatus based on receipt of information indicating successful user authentication from the image processing apparatus. After receiving the data from the information terminal, the image processing apparatus uses the received data as a setting of the function of the image processing apparatus that corresponds to the data.

A wide-angle image processing apparatus and method includes receiving in a first client terminal having a display an original image captured by a wide-angle camera; receiving in the first client terminal a user input for selecting a first view mode for the display; requesting metadata corresponding to the first view mode from a shared memory accessible to the first client terminal and the wide-angle camera; receiving the metadata corresponding to the first view mode from the shared memory; and setting at least one region of interest in the original image based on the metadata corresponding to the first view mode.

There is provided a multi-function peripheral including: a scanner; one of a printer and an image transmitting part; a data communicating part; and a controller. The controller is configured to execute: scanning of an object by controlling the scanner; obtaining of network information regarding communication which is performed by the data communicating part and terminal identification information as identification information of a mobile terminal, from image data generated by scanning, performed by the scanner, of an image as the object displayed on a display of the mobile terminal; and controlling of the data communicating part so as to transmit, based on the obtained network information, self-identification information which is identification information of the multi-function peripheral, as information addressed to a device having the obtained terminal identification information.
