An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform connection to an external server that can be connected from the information processing apparatus and instruct the external server to execute processing as a first job, and then release a resource used in the first job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server, and wait for a response from the external server, in a case where a response indicating that the processing by the external server is completed is received in response to the inquiry, execute a second job that is different from the first job and is cooperated with the first job, and, in a case where a connection between the information processing apparatus and the external server is disconnected before or during the execution of the second job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server again and wait for a response from the external server.

Methods and system are described for fax transmission distribution. In one embodiment, the electronic message receives, over a circuit-switched network, an incoming call signal that identifies a fax telephone number as an outbound address, where the fax telephone number is uniquely and permanently associated to a user. The device receives an incoming fax transmission associated with the incoming call signal, where the incoming fax transmission includes a fax message in a fax suitable format, where the fax message is associated with the user. The device transmits, over a computer network, an electronic message that includes the fax message and the fax telephone number to a destination address based on the fax telephone number.

Methods and systems are described for receiving and distributing incoming fax transmissions. In one embodiment, an electronic device receives, over a computer network, an electronic message that includes an electronic document and a fax telephone number of an organization of a plurality of organizations, wherein the fax telephone number is) permanently associated with the organization and 2) uniquely identifies the organization from other organizations in the plurality of other organizations. The device determines a destination address of the organization based on the fax telephone number and transmits the electronic document and the fax telephone number to the destination address.

An information processing apparatus capable of executing near field wireless communication, comprises: a display unit configured to display a screen; an obtaining unit configured to obtain identification information regarding a device from a near field wireless communication tag with use of the near field wireless communication; a selection unit configured, in a case where the obtaining unit obtained the identification information, to select one of first processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and second processing for connecting to the device indicated by the identification information and sending data to the device, based on a type of screen being displayed by the display unit; and a processing unit configured to execute the processing selected by the selection unit.

An information processing system includes: multiple terminal apparatuses; and a processing apparatus that processes transmission information transmitted from a terminal apparatus including the multiple terminal apparatuses and that generates post-processing information to be transmitted to a receiving apparatus via the terminal apparatus including the multiple terminal apparatuses, the terminal apparatus transmitting the transmission information to the processing apparatus and transmitting destination information regarding the receiving apparatus to the processing apparatus.

A management system for managing a data transmission destination comprises an accumulation unit configured to accumulate, when data transmission is performed, transmission information of the data transmission as collected data; a generation unit configured to generate training data including a pair of ground truth data containing transmission destination information, and input data containing an item other than the transmission destination information, from the collected data accumulated in the accumulation unit; a processing unit configured to generate, by machine learning, a learning model to be used to predict a transmission destination, by using the training data generated by the generation unit; and a providing unit configured to provide a prediction process using the learning model in response to a request.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform connection to an external server that can be connected from the information processing apparatus and instruct the external server to execute processing as a first job, and then release a resource used in the first job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server, and wait for a response from the external server, in a case where a response indicating that the processing by the external server is completed is received in response to the inquiry, execute a second job that is different from the first job and is cooperated with the first job, and, in a case where a connection between the information processing apparatus and the external server is disconnected before or during the execution of the second job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server again and wait for a response from the external server.

An image processing apparatus registers a transmission source e-mail address indicating a transmission source of an image of a document including information necessary for transfer processing using a server apparatus providing banking services. The apparatus displays, on a display unit, a list of one or more e-mails received from the registered transmission source e-mail address registered by the registration unit among e-mails received from an external apparatus, and accepts user operation of selecting an e-mail to be processed from the list. The apparatus executes the transfer processing using the server apparatus based on information acquired by performing character recognition processing on an image attached to the e-mail to be processed.

There is provided a method for an information processing apparatus configured to communicate with an image processing apparatus. The method includes displaying a screen of an application, wherein the screen corresponds to a screen displayed on a display unit of the image processing apparatus and is subjected to display control by the image processing apparatus, and transmitting an instruction to stop the display control to the image processing apparatus if a predetermined condition is satisfied in a state where the application is no longer operating as a user's operation target on the information processing apparatus.

Doorbells can send data to each other to enable a first doorbell user to warn a second doorbell user regarding a suspicious visitor. A first user can indicate a first trait of a visitor via a first remote computing device. The first user can create a user group to enable the members of the user group to use their doorbells to take pictures of suspicious visitors and to send the pictures of the suspicious visitors to other members of the user group.
