To enable identification of a user who has transmitted image data generated by scanning by an image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server that performs control, based on received information indicating a talk room of the chat server, to display information indicating received image data and transmission source user information indicating a user who has transmitted the image data on the talk room includes a reading unit configured to read an image of an original document and generate image data based on the image, a designation unit configured to designate a talk room of the chat server; and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by the reading unit, information indicating the talk room designated by the designation unit and the transmission source user information to the chat server.

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.

In a case of a first function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from a user of a multifunction peripheral (10), the user is set as an execution user. In a case of a second function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from an application, a user instructed by the application is set as an execution user. Further, in a case where an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the first function and an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the second function are identical, use history information of the execution user is managed as use history information of a single user. This makes it possible to appropriately manage use history information of a cooperative processing.

An image processing apparatus communicates with a chat server that controls displaying information indicating received image data on a talk room based on received information indicating the talk room of the chat server. The image processing apparatus includes a reading unit that reads an image of a document and generates image data based on the image, a receiving unit that receives information indicating the talk room of the chat server from a mobile terminal, and a transmission unit that transmits the generated image data and the information indicating the talk room to the chat server.

An information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry; and a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the processing circuitry to call a native application operating on an operating system, in response to a request from a web application that can be used from a web browser.

A method for providing watermark to subscribers is provided. The method comprises observing a request for a first content from a subscriber, determining if the subscriber can receive a watermark, generating a second content comprising the watermark if the subscriber can receive a watermark, causing the subscriber to fetch the first content, and causing the subscriber to fetch the second content comprising the watermark overlaying the first content.

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.

A conference management apparatus, a document registration method, a program and a conference system for easily registering a document for one or more agenda items registered for a conference are provided. A conference management apparatus for managing a conference held among a plurality of terminal apparatuses includes a generation unit configured to generate identification information of a document registration screen used for registering a document for one or more agenda items registered for a conference and send the identification information of the document registration screen to a terminal apparatus of a user registering a document for the agenda item, and a document registration unit configured to, based on a screen data obtaining request specifying the identification information of the document registration screen, send screen data of the document registration screen to the terminal apparatus which is a source of the screen data obtaining request, and register the document the user has registered for the agenda item in the document registration screen displayed on the terminal apparatus of the source of the screen data obtaining request, the document being associated with the agenda item.

The present invention related to a media transfer system comprising a user terminal and a network storage device communicable over a network. The user terminal is adapted to provide a network address and a session ID identifying the network storage device to a mobile device. The network storage device is adapted to receive media data from a mobile device under the session ID. The user terminal is adapted to interrogate the network storage device and download any media data uploaded under the given session ID, provide a customisation interface to allow the user to customise a product with any downloaded media, and upload the customised product design to the network storage device.

A server may establish a session with a function execution device via the Internet, the session being for executing server-push communication, the function execution device being capable of executing at least a facsimile function, receive first image data from a terminal device via the Internet, and in a case where the first image data is received from the terminal device, send facsimile request information to the function execution device via the Internet by using the session, the facsimile request information being for requesting a facsimile transmission of an image corresponding to the first image data.
