A digital camera with a printer is a digital camera with a printer and includes a communication unit that communicates with a digital camera with a printer that is another apparatus, and an image composition unit that generates a composite image in which a first image captured by the digital camera with a printer that is an owned apparatus and a second image captured by the other apparatus are composited, in which the communication unit transmits the composite image to the other apparatus. A user of the other apparatus can also obtain the composite image. Accordingly, the composite image can be enjoyed by capturing images using a plurality of cameras.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to control a status, between read and unread, of a document received by facsimile from a sender apparatus. The circuitry controls display of a proposal screen for proposing that a sender facsimile number satisfying a predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number. A facsimile from the rejected facsimile number is to be rejected or deleted.

A controller performs an approval process of: in response to receiving a first request from an apparatus connected via a communication interface, displaying an approval screen on a user interface; and in response to receiving an approval operation to an approval screen via the user interface, approving display of a remote screen, performs a transmission process of, in response to approving the display of the remote screen, transmitting remote screen data to the requesting apparatus; and after the transmission process, in response to receiving an instruction via the communication interface from a requesting apparatus, performs a particular process based on the instruction. The approval process further includes: determining whether a communication address satisfies a particular condition; and in response to determining that the communication address satisfies the particular condition, approving the display of the remote screen for the requesting apparatus without displaying the approval screen on the user interface.

A facsimile communication device includes circuitry to count, for each of one or more facsimile numbers, at least one of the number of facsimile transmission times and the number of output times that is stored in association with a corresponding one of the one or more facsimile numbers. The circuitry determines whether registration of a specified facsimile number for unwanted facsimile is reasonable to be performed, based on at least one of the number of facsimile transmission times associated with the specified facsimile number and the number of output times associated with the specified facsimile number. The specified facsimile number is included in the one or more facsimile numbers. The circuitry registers the specified facsimile number for the unwanted facsimile in response to determining that the registration of the specified facsimile number for the unwanted facsimile is reasonable to be performed.

An apparatus equipped with a fax function performs first and second settings on a user interface, wherein the first setting sets one or more specific fax numbers so that a printout of received fax data relating to the set one or more specific fax numbers is not produced, and wherein the second setting is a setting for a printout of received fax data, that relate to a fax number that does not exist in an address book, not to be produced.

A document management system includes a facsimile device or a multi-peripheral (MFP) device having facsimile and scanning components. A cloud based server stores a policy that is used to manage documents received at the facsimile device or scanning component. When a document is received at the facsimile device or scanning component, a parameter is used to determine an action to be taken according to the policy. Such actions include forwarding the received document to the cloud based server or sending it as an attachment in an email. When received at the cloud based server, the policy is used to categorize the document according to an attribute to make the document available within a document management service.
