An image processing system includes: a first processor that is mounted on an image processing apparatus including at least one of an image forming unit that performs processing of forming an image on a medium or an image scanning unit that performs processing of scanning an image on a medium; and a second processor that is mounted on a control apparatus that is connected to the image processing apparatus via a virtual leased line, and controls a part of at least one of the processing of forming an image on a medium or the processing of scanning an image on a medium performed by the image processing apparatus, in which the first processor is configured to: control a timing of connection using the virtual leased line with the control apparatus according to a function used by a user among functions of the image processing apparatus.

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a first display control unit and a second display control unit. The first display control unit displays a visual representation in a screen for setting a first SIP server and a second SIP server connected to an IP-FAX terminal on a display unit. The second display control unit displays a first connection state between the IP-FAX terminal and the first SIP server and a second connection state between the IP-FAX terminal and the second SIP server on the display unit, based on completion operation of setting of the first SIP server and setting of the second SIP server by a user.

An information processing apparatus includes a providing unit, an obtaining unit, and an informing unit. The providing unit provides a certain service to a user. The obtaining unit obtains identification information included in receivable radio waves. The informing unit provides information how a user is able to use the service provided by the providing unit if a place where the user is positioned is not a place where the service is available. The place where the user is positioned is estimated by the identification information obtained by the obtaining unit.

An image capturing apparatus, comprising, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network, and a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server, wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image, and after the first processing and the second processing have been started, the processing unit stops the first processing when the communication unit has established the communication with the server, and does not stop the first processing when the communication unit has not established the communication with the server.

An information processing apparatus connectable to one or more devices via a network. The apparatus includes a measuring unit measuring an inclination of the apparatus; a determining unit determining whether the inclination of the apparatus relative to a given surface of one of the one or more devices is within a predetermined inclination range; a receiving unit that receives radio waves; an obtaining unit obtaining identification information from the radio waves; a radio wave strength measuring unit measuring strength of the radio waves; a selection unit determining whether to select a given one of the one or more devices based on the strength of the radio waves; and a connection unit connecting the information processing apparatus to one of the one or more devices selected by the selection unit and for which the inclination of the apparatus is within the predetermined inclination range.

An image processing device includes a communication interface, an operation interface, and a controller. The communication interface is configured to communicate with a server. In a case that an agreement is not established for subscription service using the server, the controller performs an operation disabling process to disable a specific operation using the operation interface. The specific operation is to cause the communication interface to communicate with the server. In a case that the agreement is established, the controller performs an operation enabling process to enable the specific operation using the operation interface.

An information processing apparatus operating as a virtual network computing (VNC) server includes a memory and at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor of the information processing apparatus is configured to perform, in a case where a request for a VNC connection is received from a second VNC client in a state in which the information processing apparatus is connected with a first VNC client using VNC, first connection control to maintain the connection with the first VNC client and not to establish a VNC connection with the second VNC client, or second connection control to cut off the connection with the first VNC client and to establish the VNC connection with the second VNC client.

A control unit of an image reader executes OCR (optical character recognition processing) on image data as a result of scanning a setup guide, and upon acquiring an SSID and an encryption key, attempts to communicate with a corresponding wireless LAN master device using the SSID and the corresponding encryption key.
