When a file is selected, a user PC control section of a user PC determines whether or not a format of the file selected is a first file format, and when it is determined that the file format of the file is a first file format, the file is transmitted to a server device, and when it is determined that the file format of the file is a second file format different from the first file format, a printer driver is caused to convert the file in the second file format into the file in the first file format, and the file converted in the first file format is transmitted to the server device.

Techniques are described for electronic content delivery. One method includes receiving information associated with the prescription order of a user account. In some cases, the information associated with the prescription order includes a medication identifier. The method may include performing a search using the medication identifier to obtain electronic medication documentation. The method may also include transmitting a sponsored content request that includes the medication identifier and receiving sponsored content information responsive to the sponsored content request. The method may further include determining that the user account has authorized communication via a user device and transmitting the electronic medication documentation and/or sponsored content information to the user device. In some examples, the method may include transmitting an indication that the electronic medication documentation and/or sponsored content information was transmitted to the user device.

An incoming physical mail item addressed to a resident of a controlled-environment facility is converted to a digital format mail item, which is associated with the resident and archived in an electronic database. A determination may be made whether the resident is allowed to receive the physical mail item. If so, the digital format mail item may be delivered to the resident as an electronic message, if an electronic message service is available to the resident.

Portable terminals 100-1 to 100-N of a plurality of users have roles divided into one portable terminal 100-1 functioning as a host and other portable terminals 100-2 to 100-N (one or more second portable terminals) functioning as a client, and communication needed for creation of a collage image can be performed between the portable terminal 100-1 and other portable terminals 100-2 to 100-N. Accordingly, even though a plurality of users participate in creation of a collage image, it is possible to allow the user of each portable terminal to perform operations for selection of an image for use in the creation of the collage image, edition of the selected image, and the like in parallel with operations of other users for selection, edition, and the like of images without waiting for the operations of other users, and to create the collage image in a comparatively short time.

Previous information generating devices or printers were designed to print a paper copy of data and/or receipts which causes a disconnect with modem day data manipulation. This information redirector can redirect generated data to and receive data from the internet and hand held devices which will open up extremely fast data exchange and data manipulation for consumers, cities, states and the federal government without the expense of having to purchase complete new systems. By simply adding the redirector we can connect all old computer systems with modem day systems that now have the ability to manipulate data automatically.

In an image processing apparatus, an acquisition unit acquires relevant content related to a document included in a job inputted into the image processing apparatus, and a display control unit displays the acquired relevant content on a display unit of the image processing apparatus. An acceptance unit accepts a selection of one of a plurality of output forms from a user, as an output form for the relevant content displayed on the display unit. A control unit generates a job for outputting the accepted relevant content in the output form and controls execution of the generated job.

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires an image used in paid image processing and an output unit that outputs settlement information for use in settlement of a fee for the image processing if the image satisfies a settlement condition indicating whether the fee is a settlement target.
