The present invention provides an image forming apparatus comprising: at least one first module and at least one second module configured to execute functions corresponding respectively to the at least one first module; a first control unit configured to notify, to a corresponding second module, a request accepted by the at least one first module; and a second control unit configured to control in accordance with the notification from the first control unit, the corresponding second module, wherein the at least one first module is activated at all times from when the image forming apparatus is activated, and the at least one second module is generated as a container of an execution environment that is independent of an operating system and whose activation state is controlled by an instruction from the second control unit.

An information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium and for processing information are provided. The information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive image data; cause a display to display the received image data; and move, in response to a user instruction, a portion of the image data from a first place to a second place on the display. The portion of the image data is a partial region of an entire region of the image data. While the portion of the image data is being moved from the first place to the second place, the portion of the image data is displayed at the first place.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions that are executable by a processor of a first terminal device compatible with a first platform. The instructions are configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the first terminal device to accept selection of an image processing apparatus from among one or more devices connected with the first terminal device, obtain setting information from the selected image processing apparatus, install, into the first terminal device, a first program compatible with the image processing apparatus and the first platform, display access information on a display of the first terminal device, the access information being based on an address of a web page representing a site of a supply source for a second program that is compatible with the image processing apparatus and a second platform, and display the setting information on the display.

A server apparatus provides a social networking service (SNS). The server apparatus stores a specific relation between a terminal apparatus and a printer that are allowed for communication using the SNS. The server apparatus stores relations between one or more icons and commands each corresponding to a respective one of the icons and including an image forming condition and an image forming instruction. Upon receiving a selected icon having been selected on the terminal apparatus, information indicating a selected printer having been selected on the terminal apparatus out of printers in specific relations with the terminal apparatus, and a piece of image data from the terminal apparatus, the server apparatus transmits a command corresponding to the selected icon and the piece of image data to the selected printer.

An information processing apparatus, a information processing method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are provided. The information processing apparatus includes a processor that acquires data by an image capturing unit, wherein an image of an operation target and an image of an authentication object are obtained from the data, displays the image of the operation target and the image of the authentication object simultaneously in different display areas based on the data, and performs a display according to a result of authentication based on a combination of the operation target and the authentication object.

An installation method includes installing a universal printer driver for an image forming apparatus in a user terminal for use by a user; determining whether or not there is installed a dedicated printer driver in the user terminal; and upon determining that there is installed a dedicated printer driver in the user terminal, performing a presentation process of presenting to the user a function that will no longer be available for use if the dedicated printer driver is uninstalled.

An information processing system that improves the usability of the overall information processing system. The processing system, which includes an image processing apparatus and is capable of communicating with an audio control apparatus, outputs response information, as a response to the command generated based on a user's audio received through the audio control apparatus, wherein. Specifically, the processing system (a) in accordance with that a predetermined command generated based on first audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a first attribute information is obtained, outputs a first type of response information as a response to the predetermined command, and (b) in accordance with a predetermined command generated based on second audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a second attribute information is obtained, outputs a second type of response information as the response to the predetermined command.

A predetermined image correction process is automatically performed on an image, and information for identifying that the predetermined image correction process has been performed is displayed in a state that an image having undergone the predetermined image correction process is being displayed.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: in a case where a selection function selected by a user does not correspond to an operation address that is an address associated with an operation unit operated by the user, cause a display unit to display a screen showing an address corresponding to a relationship between a registered address, which is an address registered in a contact address associated with the operation address, and the selection function.

An image processing apparatus receives destination information for use in data transmission, performs control, based on the received destination information including a destination in an email address format, so that a first screen, which is used to transmit data external to the image processing apparatus, and on which a transmission destination of the data is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit, and performs control, based on the received destination information including only a destination in a fax format so that a second screen, different from the first screen and used to perform fax transmission, on which a transmission destination of the fax transmission is displayed, based on the received destination information, is displayed on the operation unit.
