An information providing apparatus including an image processing unit, a receiving unit, a selection unit, and a transmitting unit. The image processing unit executes image processing. The receiving unit receives first operation state information indicating an operation state of a terminal apparatus from the terminal apparatus. The selection unit acquires second operation state information indicating an operation state relating to image processing being executed by the image processing unit. Upon detecting that the terminal apparatus is in a specific operation state in accordance with the first operation state information, the selection unit selects one or plural pieces of user interface information concerning image processing to be executable after the specific operation state, in accordance with the first operation state information and the second operation state information. The transmitting unit transmits the one or plural pieces of user interface information selected by the selection unit to the terminal apparatus.

Information providing apparatus, information providing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information providing apparatus includes a receiving unit and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives, from a terminal device connected to the information providing apparatus via a communication path, operation state information indicating an operation state of the terminal device. If it is determined, based on the operation state information, that the terminal device is in a specific operation state associated with an image processing operation, the transmitting unit transmits to the terminal device one or plural pieces of specific information associated with an image processing operation executable after the specific operation state has been completed. When transmitting the plural pieces of specific information to the terminal device, the transmitting unit transmits the plural pieces of specific information to the terminal device in accordance with priorities. The priorities are assigned to the plural pieces of specific information in accordance with the specific operation state.

Information providing apparatus, terminal device, information providing system, and computer readable medium

An image processing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a selection unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives, from a terminal apparatus connected to the image processing apparatus, a request for specific information. The selection unit selects at least one piece of specific information in accordance with the request. The transmitting unit transmits the at least one piece of specific information selected by the selection unit to the terminal apparatus. After the transmitting unit transmits the at least one piece of specific information to the terminal apparatus, the receiving unit receives command data based on the specific information from the terminal apparatus. The command data includes input source or output destination information indicating an output destination or acquisition source of data to be subjected to the image processing. The output destination or acquisition source is determined in accordance with an operation state of the terminal apparatus.

Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An instruction generating apparatus includes a receiving section and a generating section. The receiving section receives job information including a plurality of jobs determined in a given order. Each job includes a process of a document by a processing device. The generating section generates instruction information based on the job information received by the receiving section. The instruction information includes, in the given order, a plurality of sets of (i) document corresponding to each job and (ii) detailed process of the document so as to instruct the processing device to perform each document process.

Instruction generating apparatus including a receiving section, a determining section, and a generation section, document processing system, and a computer readable medium

An image-reading system includes an image-reading device that includes: a first creating unit that creates, if a control device requests creation of a content of a settings screen, a content of a first settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of an image-reading unit expressed by stored function information; a generating unit that generates, when a scan condition is set on the first settings screen whose content is created by the first creating unit, first instruction data to read an image in accordance with the set scan condition; and a reading controller that controls the image-reading unit based on the generated first instruction data, so that the image-reading unit reads an image in accordance with the set scan condition.

Image-reading system, control device, control method, and computer readable medium

The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus in which a structure is simple and in which the size of a document can be detected in a short time, wherein the levels of signals, which are outputted from photoelectric elements within a plurality of sensing regions on a light-receiving portion of a line sensor correspond to a pair of nearby regions (#1 and #2, #3 and #4, #5 and #6, and #7 and #8) which hold each edge (e.g., edges 64A, 64B, 64C in FIG. 5) of the plurality of documents of different sizes disposed on a platen glass, are compared to a threshold value, or alternatively, the change in the levels of signals which are outputted from the photoelectric elements within a plurality of sensing regions (e.g., #1, #2 and #3 in FIG. 11) continuously cross each edge of the plurality documents of different sizes is obtained in order to determine the size of the document. An optical sensor which detects the existence of the document at a predetermined position (#0) on the platen glass is provided so that when the document is disposed in a transverse direction (SEF), the documents exists, and when the document is disposed in a longitudinal direction (LEF), the document does not exist. Accordingly, the direction of the document is determined. Due to this structure, the size and direction of the document disposed on the transparent member are determined.
