An image processing apparatus capable of being remotely operated by a remote operation device includes an operation acceptor, and a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor executes a process corresponding to the operation accepted by the operation acceptor, in the case where a cooperation mode is set, executes a process in accordance with a command received from the remote operation device, acquires a type of a first medium used by the remote operation device, in the case where the cooperation mode is not set, notifies the user by using a second medium when an operation is accepted by the operation acceptor, and in the case where the cooperation mode is set, if the second medium is different from the first medium, notifies the user by using the first medium when an operation is accepted by the operation acceptor.

Remote control system method, and program for image processing apparatus

An image processing device that provides an operation terminal device with an operation screen and receives input information from the operation terminal device, comprising a hardware processor that: communicates with the operation terminal device in either a first communication mode or a second communication mode, which is different from the first communication mode; determines whether the communication with the operation terminal device is in the first communication mode or the second communication mode; and creates a first screen, which is the operation screen imposed with no limit, and provides the operation terminal device with the created first screen when the communication is determined to be made in the first communication mode, and creates a second screen, which is the operation screen imposed with a limit, and provides the operation terminal device with the created second screen when the communication is determined to be made in the second communication mode.

Image processing device, image processing system and non-transitory recording medium with communication-based access control

When an image forming apparatus such as an MFP runs out of supplies, such as paper or toner, the user will need to load paper in the paper tray or replace the toner cartridge. However, the user occasionally has difficulty in opening the paper tray or the front cover because his/her hands are carrying the additional supplies. For example, the user may have to put the belonging down to open up the paper tray or the front cover. The image forming apparatus reacts to the user's desire in a mechanical manner by opening the paper tray or the front cover.

Image forming system, image forming apparatus, and recording medium configured to image belongings of a user and assist the user

A web system includes a web client having a web browser, and a web server for providing the web client with a computer program to be executed on the web browser. The web server includes a delivery portion configured to deliver, as the computer program, a predetermined processing program to the web client, the predetermined processing program causing the web client, when the web client starts receiving specific data from the web server, to execute inquiry processing of inquiring of the web server as to a state of transmission of the specific data in the web server, and the predetermined processing program causing the web client to execute predetermined processing after a reply that the transmission is completed is received as the state, and a reply portion configured to, when an inquiry as to the state is sent from the web client, inform the web client of the state.

Web system, web server, method for delivering data, and computer-readable storage medium for computer program

The management server includes a policy storage that stores a security policy, and a first hardware processor that, in response to reception of a preparation completion notification from each of all of two or more information processing apparatuses, outputs an update instruction to each of the two or more information processing apparatuses. Each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses includes a security information storage that stores security information, and a second hardware processor that executes a process using any of the stored security information, acquires new security information corresponding to security information to which the reference date and time, which the current date and time have passed, correspond, transmits a preparation completion notification to the management server, and in response to reception of the update instruction from the management server, updates the security information with the new security information.

Security information update system, information processing apparatus, security information update method and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with security information update program

An information processing apparatus includes: a display; a first processing unit; and a second processing unit, wherein the first processing unit includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first screen relating to first processing performed by the first processing unit to the second processing unit, the second processing unit includes a mounting section in which a peripheral device is mounted and a hardware processor, the hardware processor configured to: cause the display to selectively display either one of the first screen and a second screen relating to second processing performed by the second processing unit, and when the display displays the first screen, allow the peripheral device to be used for the first processing and, when the display displays the second screen, allow the peripheral device to be used for the second processing.

Information processing apparatus, peripheral device use method, and computer program

A hardware processor included in an image processing apparatus establishes a communication path with remote operation devices, selects one of the established communication paths as a valid path, executes a process in accordance with a remote operation command received via the valid path, in response to establishment of new communication paths different from the valid path, sets the new communication paths as waiting paths to which sequence numbers are supplied in a chronological order of establishment of the communication paths, determines whether a same waiting path to which a remote operation device that is the same as a remote operation device connected to the valid path is connected is present, and in the case where the same waiting path is present, in response to disconnection of the valid path, selects the same waiting path as a valid path regardless of the sequence numbers supplied to the waiting paths.

Communication path selection for remote control system of an image processing apparatus, remote control and communication path selection method, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with remote control and communication path selection program

An information processing device includes: a communication unit that communicates with an image forming apparatus; a storage unit; a receipt unit that receives a setting value of the image forming apparatus; an acquisition unit that acquires information about a state of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus to change setting of the setting value; and a request unit that stores the setting value received by the receipt unit in the storage unit when the image forming apparatus is in a state not allowed for setting a setting value, and requests the image forming apparatus to set the setting value stored in the storage unit when the image forming apparatus shifts to a state allowed for setting a setting value, wherein the setting value is stored in the storage unit by a function of a web browser application program executed by the information processing device.

Information processing device, control method of information processing device, program, and image processing system

An image processing apparatus containing a web server is provided. The image processing apparatus regularly notifies a web browser of an operation instruction. When it is determined that setting processing of a set value for an operation of the image processing apparatus is attached, whether or not there is a set value saved on the web browser is checked. When it is confirmed that there is a set value saved on the web browser, the web browser is caused to transmit the set value to the image processing apparatus. When the set value transmitted from the web browser is reflected on the image processing apparatus, the set value saved on the web browser is deleted.
