An electronic device includes circuitry to determine whether to reject or accept a facsimile being transmitted from a transmission source based on a common transmission source list. The common transmission source list is shared by a plurality of electronic devices including the electronic device. The circuitry further outputs a part of the facsimile in response to determining that the transmission source is one from which the facsimile is to be rejected, based on the common transmission source list.

A technique that prevents an unnecessary notification to a user. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to execute a control method including a reception step of receiving an event generated in a device, a setting step of setting a user who is a destination of a notification based on the event received in the reception step according to a type of the event received in the reception step, first information showing a group for each type of an event, and second information showing a group for each user, and a notification step of transmitting a notification based on the event received in the reception step to the user set in the setting step.

Portable information devices each include a portable-side communication unit to communicate with an image processing apparatus within a range of a predetermined distance, and a portable-side control unit. The portable-side control unit executes the steps of: specifying a linked process; displaying an operation screen for accepting a setting value corresponding to the linked process in a state in which the portable-side communication unit is unable to communicate with the image processing apparatus; accepting a setting value from a user; in response to the portable-side communication unit becoming able to communicate with the image processing apparatus, transmitting a setting request and receiving a response to the setting request from the image processing apparatus; if the response indicates to start the linked process, transmitting/receiving data in cooperation with the image processing apparatus; and if the response requests a setting value, displaying an operation screen for setting the requested setting value.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to: accumulate a document received by FAX in a storage; control output of the accumulated document based on an operation of a user; and set a state of the document to unread in response to the document being accumulated in the storage, and set the state of the document to already read on condition that output of all pages of the document is completed.

The present invention includes: a receiver that receives posting of a message including a request by a user; a poster that posts the message received by the receiver to a social networking service (SNS); an acquirer that acquires a message posted by an image forming device from the SNS, the image forming device being able to process the request and being among image forming devices that are associated with the user in the SNS; and a display that shows the message acquired by the acquirer.

A method of a terminal apparatus includes displaying, in a case where notification information is received in a state where a predetermined program is not operating in the foreground, a first notification region including a message that is based on message information included in the notification information, and not including information that is based on specific information included in the notification information, on a display unit in a state where the predetermined program is not operating in the foreground.
