An information processing system includes a storage storing flow information in association with application identification information, for each application for executing a sequence of processes, the flow information defining program identification information and an execution order of the programs; a storage storing screen information in association with the application identification information for each application; a transmitter for sending, to a device, the screen information associated with the application identification information, when a first request including the application identification information is received from the device; a receiver for receiving a second request including information relating to the electronic data specified by a user in the screen displayed on the device; an acquirer for acquiring the flow information associated with the application identification information; and an executor for executing the programs identified by the program identification information.

One or more image processing apparatuses, control methods and storage mediums for use therewith are provided herein. At least one image processing apparatus receives, from a communication terminal, setting information relating to transmission of image data. Upon reception of the setting information from the communication terminal, the image processing apparatus displays a confirmation screen containing a message regarding the setting information. The image processing apparatus displays a different message in the confirmation screen displayed on a display device depending on a condition of the image processing apparatus.

In an image scanning apparatus, an image scanning unit scans one or more page images from a document of one or more pages and generates image data of the one or more page images. An image acquiring unit acquires the image data, generates a document image file including the image data, and stores the document image file into a specific folder. A communication processing unit transmits to a specific destination a message that includes a network identifier of the document image file. A server unit transmits the document image file upon receiving a transmission request that specifies the network identifier. Further, the communication processing unit includes a shrink image of a predetermined page among the one or more page into the message; and the server unit performs image search for the shrink image as a search key upon receiving an image search request that specifies the shrink image.

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.

An image processing device capable of repeatedly sending internal data stored inside the device to a server at a predetermined timing, comprises: a hardware processor that: obtains the internal data from the inside the device at every data transmission timing; determines whether or not to send the latest internal data obtained at the current data transmission timing to the server based on a change in an operation status during a period from the previous data transmission timing to the current data transmission timing; and sends the latest internal data to the server when determining to send the latest internal data to the server.

An information processing system allows an operation status of a web application cooperating with a multifunction peripheral (MFP) and being operated on a mobile terminal to be handed over to the MFP by simply causing the mobile terminal and the MFP to cooperate.

If a new web engine is installed on an information processing apparatus to introduce the information processing apparatus to new web technology, display compatibility between the new web engine and a conventional web engine that has been used cannot be maintained, which leads to a degradation in usability. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, an information processing apparatus includes a plurality of web engines and the web engines to be used are dynamically changed based on a content of a request.

An MFP is configured to perform an upper limit setting process of setting an upper limit value of scan data amount storable in a RAM, a scanning process of controlling a scanning device to generate scan data of one document medium and store the scan data in the RAM, a determining process of determining, after performing the scanning process, whether an amount of the scan data accumulated in the storage exceeds the upper limit value, when determining that the amount of the scan data exceeds the upper limit value, a transmitting process of inhibiting the scanning process and transmitting the scan data accumulated in the RAM to a server through a communication device, and a releasing process of deleting the scan data accumulated in the RAM and releasing inhibition of the scanning process after performing the transmitting process.

Embodiment of systems and methods for the sending, delivery or receiving of faxes are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a fax connector that may be deployed at users' sites, and a fax registration system that may be deployed remotely from these users' site. The fax connector can be accessed at a user's site over a computer based network in order to perform functions associated with faxing, including sending, receiving and obtaining status on faxes. The fax connector deployed at a sending user's site communicates with the fax registration system to obtain destination data associated with a recipient user's fax connector and transmits the fax to the destination fax connector over the computer based network based on the destination data obtained from the registration system. The fax can then be presented to the recipient at the recipient user's site.

An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition unit configured to perform character recognition processing for recognizing one or more characters included in image data and acquiring character information, a display unit configured to display one or more characters indicated by the character information acquired by the character recognition unit, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data to a folder the name of which is a character selected by a user from among the one or more characters displayed by the display unit.
