An image processing apparatus includes a scanner configured to read a document to generate image data, a memory that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor. The processor executes the instructions stored in the memory to function as an executing unit configured to execute a transmission job for reading the document by the scanner and performing a transmission of image data generated by the scanner, and a display control unit configured to display a first screen for setting to print a transmission report of the transmission job that is executed by the executing unit, as a setting of the image processing apparatus, and display a second screen for setting to print a transmission report of the transmission job, as a setting of the transmission job.

An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.

An image reproducing apparatus that is capable of easily reproducing image data intended for viewing. A read-out unit reads out a plurality of images recorded in a recording medium. A control unit determines target images among the plurality of images based on a reference date. The control unit specifies a shooting date on which a predetermined number or greater number of images were taken around the reference date and determines images taken on the specified shooting date as the target images.

A data processing apparatus includes a recording control unit configured to perform control so that a plurality of contents is recorded in a recording medium, a first communication unit configured to connect to an external device via a first communication, and receive via the first communication a communication parameter for connecting via a second communication different from the first communication to the external device and information to be used to sort the plurality of contents, a second communication unit configured to connect to the external device via the second communication based on the communication parameter received via the first communication unit, and a control unit configured to perform control so that the plurality of contents is sorted based on the information to be used to sort the plurality of contents that is received from the external device via the first communication unit.

In a case where an image forming apparatus is connected to an information processing apparatus, correction information is generated through comparison between time information obtained by the image forming apparatus and time information obtained by the information processing apparatus. The image forming apparatus transmits, to the information processing apparatus, time information indicating a time at which setting information is updated in the image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus corrects the received time information with the correction information. The information processing apparatus determines whether to update setting information stored in the information processing apparatus with received setting information, based on the corrected time information.

Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including: a read section configured to read a plurality of data items as well as date and time information related to the data items; a slider configured to generate a first operation signal on accepting the input of an operation of a movable knob part of the slider by a user to a position corresponding to the length of a time period; a grouping section configured to divide the plurality of data items into groups based on the time period determined from the first operation signal as well as on the read date and time information; and a display control section configured to display a list of representative pictures representing the data items in each of the groups, on a screen of a display portion.

A cell phone is disclosed for acquiring information to be transmitted to a receiving facility and for transmitting such thereto. A capture device captures information from an external source. A processor is provided for associating with the captured information a representation of the date and time of the capture of the information, such that the representation of the date and time information in association with the captured information forms augmented captured information. The processor also places the augmented captured information in association with subscriber information in a transmission of the augmented captured information to a receiving facility requiring such subscriber information. A transmitter transmits the transmission including the augmented captured information and the subscriber information to the receiving facility. An encryptor encrypts the augmented captured information with a symmetrical encryption algorithm to provide encrypted augmented captured information in the transmission with the subscriber information.

Synchronization techniques with state transformation are described. The synchronization techniques may include storing a data object and metadata associated with the data object at a computing device. The data object can be stored in a first representative state at the computing device. The techniques may further involve receiving user input to synchronize the data object into a second representative state at a remote computing device, automatically transforming the data object from the first representative state into the second representative state, and synchronizing the data object to a remote data object stored at the remote computing device. The remote data object can be stored in the second representative state at the remote computing device.

A printing apparatus includes a memory, a receiving unit, and a printing unit. The memory stores print schedule information indicating regular time information concerning a time at which printing is regularly performed and also stores print settings information in association with the print schedule information. The receiving unit receives print data. The printing unit prints the print data received by the receiving unit in accordance with the print settings information if a time at which the print data is received matches the regular time information indicated in the print schedule information.

A system and method for application reporting by a multifunction peripheral includes a document processing device having an intelligent controller controlling operations of the multifunction peripheral, including operation of a scanner engine and a print engine. A memory stores a plurality of user selectable applications for the controller. The controller executes at least one user selectable application selected from a library of available applications. The processor determines when one or more of the user selectable applications are launched. The processor outputs status data relative to monitored application launches to an associated server via a network interface.
