A system includes an information processing apparatus that provides a chat service and an image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives a reading setting based on an instruction from a user and a transmission unit that transmits the received reading setting to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes a reading unit that reads an image of a document and generates image data, a reception unit that receives the transmitted reading setting, a registration unit that registers an object associated with the received reading setting, a display unit that displays the registered object, and a control unit that, based on satisfaction of a predetermined condition without the instruction from the user, controls the display unit not to display the object.

A server includes memory, a connection establisher, a first transmission request receiver, a first determiner, a first screen data transmitter, a second screen data transmitter, and a first disconnector. The connection establisher establishes continuous connection with a communication device. The first transmission request receiver receives a first transmission request t for displaying a setting screen corresponding to a first type of service. In response to the first transmission request being received from the external device, the first determiner determine whether a second type of service is currently provided. The first screen data transmitter transmits first screen data for displaying a first setting screen to the external device in response to the first determiner determining that the second type of service is not currently provided. The first disconnector disconnects the continuous connection in response to selection of a disconnection button included in the first setting screen displayed on the external device.

An information processing apparatus is provided and includes a display unit which displays an operation screen. The information processing apparatus controls whether or not to receive setting for a first application from a different apparatus and use the received setting for the first application, in accordance with a type of a screen being displayed on the display unit.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller. The controller receives a first e-mail from an external device. The first e-mail has a print file attached thereto and is addressed to a device e-mail address assigned to a printing device. The controller determines a fee to be charged for image formation based on the attached print file. The controller generates a second e-mail including: a first amount that is the amount of the determined fee; and a first URL for a payment page for paying the first amount. The controller transmits the generated second e-mail to the external device in reply to the received first e-mail. After payment of the first amount is completed through access to the first URL included in the transmitted second e-mail, the controller transmits to the external device either print data based on the print file or storage destination information for the print data.

A system that enables a user to grasp processing status of image data easily. The system includes an image processing apparatus, a server apparatus, and an information terminal. The image processing apparatus includes a reception unit that receives image data through fax, and a transmission unit that transmits the image data received by the reception unit to the server apparatus. The server apparatus includes a transfer unit that transfers the image data to the information terminal. The information terminal includes a display unit that displays image data transferred by the transfer unit. The display unit displays information showing that a reply to the image data is completed at a position that does not overlap with the image data.

There is provided an information processing method executed by an information processing system cooperatively operating with a message application. The method comprises: registering by associating a group in the message application a predetermined image recording device in response to an instruction by a first account in the group; and outputting print target data transmitted from the message application to the predetermined image recording device in response to a message transmitted by a second account in the group.

An information processing method includes causing an information processing apparatus to display a screen for inputting a print instruction for executing print processing based on data posted to a channel of a chat service, transmitting the data posted to the channel of the chat service to an image forming apparatus and causing the image forming apparatus to execute the print processing based on the data, based on the print instruction input via the displayed screen, and determining whether to cause the information processing apparatus to display the screen, based on attribute information about the posted data.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with a chat server which controls displaying of received image data in a talk room of a chat service provided by the chat server, based on received information about the talk room, and controls transmission of a notification, based on received user information on a notification destination user, the image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read an image of a document to generate image data based on the image, a registration unit configured to register the talk room of the chat service and the notification destination user in association with an object, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data generated by reading of the reading unit, the information about the talk room, and the user information on the communication destination user to the chat server, in response to selection of the object.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: extract, if a facsimile document is received, information indicating a contact associated in advance with a telephone number of a person who has transmitted the facsimile document; and perform control for posting an electronic document, which is obtained by digitizing the facsimile document, to a message exchange service including the contact as a member while determining the contact as a notification target of the electronic document.

In an image processing system, an interactive message is transmitted and received between an information processing apparatus and a chatbot server, job setting information is generated, image data and the job setting information are stored in a storage on a network in association with job identification information, a QR code generated from the job identification information is displayed on a screen of the information processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus is caused to read the QR code and to convert the QR code to job identification information, and the image data and the job setting information associated with the job identification information are transmitted from the storage to the image forming apparatus via the management server.
