An image management system includes a reception unit and transmission unit. The reception unit receives, from a first communication terminal, link information that is transmitted from the image management system and is managed in a link information management system. The transmission unit transmits, to the first communication terminal, a view script and image data corresponding to the link information. The image data is received from a second communication terminal.

An information processing apparatus includes a storage device, a generating circuit, and an initialization circuit. The storage device stores control device configuration information in relation to resolution information of a control device. The control device configuration information is included in list information that is a list of information on the control device. The generating circuit generates dummy list information that is a dummy of the list information using the control device configuration information. The initialization circuit initializes the control device based on the dummy list information.

The present invention is concerning to an image management system that communicates with a first communication terminal via a communication network, the image management system comprising: an image storage unit configured to store image data; a receiving unit configured to receive, from the first communication terminal, link information that includes image identification information for identifying the image data and includes predetermined-area information that indicates a predetermined area in the image data; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the first communication terminal, the image data that is indicated by the image identification information included in the link information received by the receiving unit and the predetermined-area information included in the link information.

A disclosed managing apparatus and image forming apparatus management system ensure confidentiality of information in an image forming apparatus while usability is maintained. An image forming apparatus acquires IC card identifying information with an IC card reader. A management server acquires a user ID associated with the acquired IC card identifying information and use limit information concerning use of the image forming apparatus. A process is performed in the image forming apparatus in accordance with the use limit information.

Provided is an image processing system which reduces the load of destination registration on the user. To accomplish this, in an image processing system including a PC (102) and device (101) connected to a network, the PC (102) has a transfer unit (120) which transfers identification data of the PC (102) to the device (101), and the device (101) has a scanner unit (130) which scans an image and outputs the image data, a memory (140) which stores a destination of the output image data from the scanner unit (130), a transfer unit (150) which transfers the image data to the destination stored in the memory (140), and a registration unit (170) which receives the identification data transferred by the transfer unit (120), and registers the received identification data as a destination of image data in the memory (140).

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.

An image forming apparatus comprises a first display device and a second display device that is arranged in a position different from the first display device. The first display device functions as a main display device, and the second display device functions as a sub-display device. The main display device is displayed with a main screen including predetermined contents. The main screen includes contents related to the image forming apparatus. The main screen is a setting screen, an operating screen, a preview screen, etc. The sub-display device is displayed with a sub-screen including contents related to the content included in the main screen. Support information, guidance information, an auxiliary input key, etc. are displayed in the sub-screen.

An image transmission apparatus includes an information input unit that inputs predetermined information, a memory that stores the predetermined input information as electronic data, a communication unit that transmits an electronic mail to a predetermined transmission destination, a storage location information generating unit that generates storage location information indicating a location where the electronic data is stored, a storage location tagged mail generating unit that generates a storage location tagged electronic mail including the storage location information, an acquisition request acknowledgment unit that acknowledges an acquisition request to acquire electronic data from the transmission destination, and an electronic data loaded mail generating unit that generates an electronic data loaded mail including the electronic data.

Digital media can be automatically transferred between a digital capture device or storage device and one or more other devices with little or no user intervention. Media can be selected for automatic transfer based on one or more media-content or media-context characteristics.
