An information processing system stores image files formed by an image forming apparatus in a desired storage position in an information processing terminal through simple operations. The information processing terminal, in accordance with an instruction to incorporate an image file, sends to the image forming apparatus information that includes at least identification information by which to identify a storage destination for the image file, a file name for the data file corresponding to a selected icon and storage position information that indicates the storage position in a folder of a directory in the storage destination in which the data file is to be stored. The image forming apparatus registers the information, and causes a selection key for the registered information to be displayed. A new selection key is created for information to be displayed when new settings information is registered based on the information sent from the information processing terminal.

Information processing system and information processing method, and information processing program used therein

A user interface which displays information regarding a job registered in an image forming apparatus includes a job information acquisition unit which acquires information regarding the job, an editing function selection unit which acquires selection of an editing function to the information regarding the job by a user, a job information editing unit which carries out the selected editing function to the information regarding the job, limiting the editing of a predetermined item of the information regarding the job, and a job information display unit which displays the edited job information.

When a PC as a transmission destination and a shared folder as a saving destination are designated and start of scanning is instructed, a scanner apparatus scans an original, confirms state of activation of the PC and stores the scan data temporarily in a storage unit until the PC is activated. When the PC is activated and transmission becomes possible, the scan data that has been stored in the storage unit is transmitted to the PC and saved in the designated shared folder.

Scanner apparatus capable of optimal transmission and saving of image data

An image processing apparatus has a storage device provided for a plurality of operators for storing files and run history on the files for each of the plurality of operators. Operators among the plurality of operators can be related. A display device displays information on files which were dealt with by a group including an operator and other operators related to the operator among the plurality of operators when the operator instructs to display the information on files. In a modified example, the information on files is displayed when the operator accesses said storage device.

Image processing apparatus having group storage areas for storing files for operator groups

In an image processing apparatus connected to an external apparatus through a network, a user interface is displayed in a display device on documents. A user's instruction is received in the user interface to operate a document stored in the external apparatus and/or in the image processing apparatus. An operation history of documents stored in the external apparatus is obtained. Then; data on the documents displayed in the user interface is controlled based on the obtained operation history.

Image processing apparatus and method displaying data on documents to be operated

An image forming apparatus, method, and computer program product can create and transmit an e-mail to which is attached an image file created by an image forming apparatus and a file received from an external device. The image forming apparatus can include an image reader and an operation unit including one-touch keys. If a received email instructs one-touch key registration, mailing information including recipient information and one or more attached files can be obtained from the email and associated with a one-touch key. If reading of an original document by the image reader is specified by operation of a one-touch key, the mailing information and file information associated with the one-touch key can be read, an email can be created including the created image file and the one or more attached files, and the email can be sent to a recipient corresponding to the recipient information.

Image forming apparatus and information processing method and information processing program used therein

In order to enable a user to easily and quickly set the processing mode, the user interface device sets the processing mode for job execution in an image processing apparatus. This user interface device includes specifying means that specifies the processing modes presented to the user prior to processing mode setting as presentation processing modes, generating means that generates presentation preview images indicating processing results when the image data is processed using the presentation processing modes, display means that displays the generated presentation preview images, and setting means that sets in the image processing apparatus the processing modes corresponding to the displayed presentation preview images.

In a recording medium, a program for making a computer execute processing is stored. The processing includes detecting a recipient's domain name of an e-mail to be transmitted with data attached to the e-mail from a recipient's address of the e-mail, deciding a format of the data depending on the detected recipient's domain name, formatting the data into the decided format, and transmitting the data formatted into the decided format to the recipient's address as an attachment of the e-mail.

Recording medium, and apparatus and method for transmitting e-mail

An apparatus and method for information processing in a network system providing shared folders across a plurality of information processing apparatuses (personal computers) via network. A shared folder management table contains the IP addresses, identifiers of the personal computers, the names of shared folders, and the number of times or attempts to transmit data, etc. Searching of the shared folders is performed at given intervals of time and a search result is compared with the last search result. Based on the search result, a new management data founded is registered in the management table. If a destination personal computer remains inaccessible longer than predetermined time, management data of such personal computers are deleted from the management table.

Apparatus and method for information processing in network system

Job data is created by a personal computerA display attribute and a program corresponding to the display attribute are attached to this job data. On the other hand, a received job is displayed on a screen of an operation panel of a digital copierWhether or not the display attribute is attached to job data is determined in display processing of this operation panel. Then, if the display attribute is attached, the display screen is changed corresponding to the display attribute. This display attribute contains enlargement of a display content, change of display color and the like. If a function corresponding to the display attribute is not supported, a program attached to job data is executed. Consequently, there is provided a job information display apparatus, a job execution apparatus, a job instruction apparatus and a job processing system capable of changing the display screen depending on the display attribute of the job.
