An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: when receiving an image forming instruction issued to an image forming apparatus, transmit image data and processing information to a server, the processing information including access information regarding access to the information processing apparatus and information for forming an image represented by the image data, and store the image data into the information processing apparatus; and perform control for transmitting the image data to the image forming apparatus in response to transmission of the image data being requested from the image forming apparatus.

An image capturing apparatus, comprising, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a communication unit configured to communicate with a client and a server via a network, and a processing unit configured to execute first processing for communication with the client and second processing for communication with the server, wherein the communication with the client and the communication with the server include transmission of the image, and after the first processing and the second processing have been started, the processing unit stops the first processing when the communication unit has established the communication with the server, and does not stop the first processing when the communication unit has not established the communication with the server.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a wireless communication circuit, a camera configured to generate raw image data, at least one processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions configured, when executed, to enable the processor to process first image data corresponding to raw image data via a first algorithm and generate second image data, process the first image data or the second image data via a second algorithm and generate third image data, the second algorithm being different from the first algorithm, generate a first file including the second image data and the third image data, receive priority information from an external electronic device via the wireless communication circuit, generate a second file including the second image data and the third image data based on the priority information, and transmit the second file via the wireless communication circuit to the external electronic device.

In a communication system, an image forming apparatus sends an address of a receiving section to an external device. The external device receives a selection of image data through plural thumbnails displayed on a display section, and wirelessly sends the selected image data to the image forming apparatus with the address. The image forming apparatus receives the selected image data sent with the address by the external device, and prints an image based on the selected image data. The image forming apparatus accepts a selection indicating whether a communication between the external device and the image forming apparatus is performed by a first communication system method or a second communication system method. The image forming apparatus performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the first communication system method when the first communication system method is selected, and performs sending and/or receiving the image data with the address by the second communication system method when the second communication system method is selected.

Embodiments of the systems, devices and methods described herein generally facilitate performing Bluetooth pairing between a first device and a second device. In accordance with one example embodiment, a first device generates a barcode that encodes Bluetooth pairing data for transmission to the second device, wherein the pairing data comprises a Bluetooth address associated with the first device, and wherein the pairing data further comprises a personal identification number usable to complete the Bluetooth pairing, the barcode is transmitted to the second device, and Bluetooth pairing is performed with the second device.

An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an external controller, a reception unit configured to receive, in a case where a predetermined error related to the communication occurs, log information on the predetermined error from the external controller, and a storage control unit configured to store, in a storage unit of the image forming apparatus, the log information received from the external controller and log information indicating an operation of the image forming apparatus corresponding to a timing at which the predetermined error has occurred.

A relay apparatus includes a processor and a network interface for performing communication with an image processing apparatus and a server apparatus through a network. The processor functions as: a server-request-information receiving unit for receiving server request information transmitted to the relay apparatus by the server apparatus; an establishment request information receiving unit for receiving establishment request information transmitted by the image processing apparatus for requesting establishment of a session between the relay apparatus and the image processing apparatus according to a session establishment type first protocol for enabling server-push for transmitting the server request information to the image processing apparatus; and a server-request-information transmitting unit for transmitting the server request information received by the server-request-information receiving unit to the image processing apparatus by using the session established between the relay apparatus and the image processing apparatus.

According to an embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores a capability file including capability information indicating a value that is capable of being set as a parameter of processing. The interface communicates with a mobile terminal. The processor performs setting based on template information acquired from the mobile terminal, after transmitting the capability file stored in the memory to the mobile terminal communicating via the interface.
