An information processing apparatus communicates with a server via a network, the server configured to manage a plurality of job logs on which encryption processing is executed by an image processing apparatus using a first key. The information processing apparatus includes at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor executing the instructions causing the information processing apparatus to encrypt a value used for searching for a job log using another first key being a duplicate of the first key, transmit a search request including the encrypted value to the server via the network, acquire an encrypted job log based on a response from the server, and execute decryption processing for decrypting the encrypted job log. The server executes search processing using the encrypted value included in the search request without decrypting the plurality of job logs managed.

Information processing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to encrypt search value for searching job log using first key and server performs search process

The present invention enables job log records concerning an image processing apparatus to be managed in such a manner that the job log records can be searched on a server such as a cloud server using attributes and a character string included in an image as the job log records remain encrypted, thereby solving a problem concerning privacy.

Image processing apparatus, system, server, control method, and storage medium to perform encryption processes on image data and attribute data using first and second keys and further perform character recognition process

According to the present invention, an information processing apparatus is provided, which comprises a unit which acquires the requested resource, a unit which stores a history of the resource, a unit which causes a display unit to display a screen that is based on the acquired resource and includes an input portion for receiving an input of a return instruction instructing that an immediately previous screen be returned to, and a unit which determines whether the immediately previous screen is a screen that is based on a resource stored in the history, and if the screen is not based thereon, transmits a message indicating that the return instruction has been made to a unit that has instructed the request of the resource, and if not, returns the screen to an immediately previous screen according to the history.

Information processing apparatus and display control method

A server that receives, from an image processing device, a request indicating a data file stored on a file server and a predetermined type of processing to be performed on the data file. It is determined whether memory stores information associated with a current session between the image processing device and the server. Based on determining that the information is not stored, initiating a download of the data file, generating a modified version of the downloaded data file and storing the information associated with the current session in the memory. The modified version is provided to the image processing device if the predetermined type of processing is a first type of processing and the downloaded file to the image processing device if the predetermined processing is a second type of processing.

Apparatus, system and method for cache management

An image processing device is provided to generate electronic document data representative of at least one physical document having at least one page. A unique document identifier value is determined to identify the at least one page, the unique document identifier being determined based on an end document identifier value associated with an electronic document project managed by a document management system. An annotated electronic document is generated by embedding data representing the unique document identifier within the at least one page of the electronic document data. An information file is generated and includes at least one characteristic associated with the annotated electronic document. The information file and annotated electronic document are communicated to the document management system for incorporation into an associated electronic document project stored therein.

Apparatus, system and method for embedding data in an image file

Systems include a service-provider device; and a browser loaded on a first device. To connect the service-provider device with the first device, the browser fetches a device ID from the first device, and sends a request for a service to the service-provider device with the device ID. The service-provider device determines whether the service is allowed to be provided by checking whether the device ID is registered.

Apparatus, system, and method for authorizing a service

A system and method are provided including one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operation including performing, at an image processing device, a login process wherein access to one or more resources on the image processing device is granted based on a credential associated with a user and receiving a request to perform a scan and send process is received at the image processing device, the request comprising instructions for scanning a physical document and sending an electronic document representing the scanned physical document to a destination system. The scan process is initiated and a data object including data representing job data and the credential associated with the use is generated. The send process using the generated data object is executed as a background process on the image processing device and a subsequent user is able to access the image processing device and use at least one resource of the image processing device simultaneously.

Apparatus, system and method for managing background processing on an image processing device

An image processing device and method of controlling an image processing device to be in communication with one of a plurality of external printer controllers is provided. The method includes monitoring, at initiation of the image processing device, a communication address assigned to the image processing device to detect whether a current communication address is different from a previously assigned communication address and acquiring, from memory, a configuration data object associated with the current communication address in response to detecting that the current communication address is different from the previously assigned communication address. The configuration data object being associated with the current communication address and includes one or more parameters for controlling one or more operations of the image processing device. The image processing device is automatically configured the image processing device using the one or more parameters acquired from the configuration data object.

Apparatus, system and method for implementing switch-over control

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided. Some embodiments include generating credentials for accessing a transmission service; sending, from a first application to a second application, the credentials and a request to perform operations related to a scan job; receiving, at the first application from the second application, credentials from the second application, and a request to access the transmission service; determining whether the credentials from the second application are valid; and in response to determining that the credentials from the second application are valid, getting a file from the second application using the transmission service; and sending the file to a destination.

System and method for controlling access to a server on an image processing device

This image processing apparatus displays a web page received from a web server, and when a setting related to scan processing is performed via the displayed web page, causes a transition to a state in which execution of scan processing can be instructed using a predetermined hardware key, and when an execution of scan processing being instructed using the predetermined hardware key, executes scan processing based on the setting performed via the web page.
