An information processing apparatus capable of suppressing an erroneous operation by a user when a mobile terminal is brought close to the information processing apparatus for near field wireless communication. Approach of a mobile terminal is detected. Whether an operation related to performing specific processing has been carried out by a user is determined. A confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether to perform processing corresponding to the operation related to performing the specific processing is displayed when the approach of the mobile terminal is detected and it is determined that the operation related to performing the specific processing has been carried out.

Information processing apparatus that suppresses erroneous operation by user, control method for the information processing apparatus, and storage medium

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus that operates based on setting values of items and a method of controlling the same. When any one of a plurality of items corresponding to initialized setting values includes a predetermined item, the information processing apparatus performs guidance for setting a setting value of the predetermined item in order to reset the setting value of the predetermined item, so that a user can reset the setting value.

Provided is an image processing system which reduces the load of destination registration on the user. To accomplish this, in an image processing system including a PC () and device () connected to a network, the PC () has a transfer unit () which transfers identification data of the PC () to the device (), and the device () has a scanner unit () which scans an image and outputs the image data, a memory () which stores a destination of the output image data from the scanner unit (), a transfer unit () which transfers the image data to the destination stored in the memory (), and a registration unit () which receives the identification data transferred by the transfer unit (), and registers the received identification data as a destination of image data in the memory ().

Image processing system including image processing device and information processing device which communicate with each other

A multi function peripheral (MFP) receives a setting of destination information from a user (FIG.). Each time the MFP reads a predetermined number of documents, the MFP repeats a series of steps of establishing a communication session with a destination (S), transmitting image data (S), and ending the communication session with the destination (S). Thereby, the MFP transmits image data to a plurality of destinations (Sto S).

Image processing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium for transmitting image data to a plurality of destinations

This invention prevents repetitive storage of identical character string data, and efficiently uses a storage area. To accomplish this, a facsimile apparatushas an NICas a network interface, and also has a display unitas a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main body controllerincluding a memory as a storage means for storing character string data, a display controlleras an image generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the character string data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a display data generating means for generating an HTML file as display data described in a markup language by using the character string data stored in the memory, in accordance with a browsing request input via the network interface.

Image processing apparatus and control method for reducing an amount of data for a plurality of languages

An information processing apparatus capable of effectively preventing an unauthorized access in a manner cooperatively associated with a predetermined security setting of a wireless communication. An information processing apparatus is capable of wireless communication with an external apparatus, receives a job request therefrom, and executes job processing according to the job request. A CPU sets a management setting for managing users who use the information processing apparatus. The CPU receives the job request from the external apparatus via a wireless LAN interface. The CPU determines, when the job request is received, whether or not the wireless communication has been set to a predetermined security setting, and performs control, when it is determined that the wireless communication has not been set to the predetermined security setting, so as to refuse to accept the job request, unless the management setting has been set.

An image forming apparatus capable of performing gradation correction without causing a user to perform a troublesome operation. The image forming apparatus includes an image reading unit that reads an original. A chart is formed on a recording material, and the recording material having the chart formed thereon is conveyed to the image reading unit via a shared conveying path used for both of reading the original and forming an image on the recording material. The conveyed recording material is read by the image reading unit, and gradation correction is performed based on the chart read by the image reading unit.

System, device, method, and computer-readable storage medium for registering information processing device identification data with an image processing device

An image processing apparatus capable of efficiently using a removable medium when the removable medium is used instead of a memory provided in the image processing apparatus. The apparatus includes a RAM for storing image data, a removable medium I/F to which the removable medium is coupled, and a CPU. The CPU confirms the remaining capacity of the RAM and determines based on the remaining capacity confirmed during execution of a job and a job operation mode whether the job can be continued by using only the RAM. When it is determined that the job cannot be continued, image data to be saved is selected according to a predetermined priority order, and the selected image data is saved from the RAM onto the removable medium.

Selection of job image data for storage on external memory and memory management techniques

An image processing apparatus has a large number of image processing functions, in which resources necessary for code processing units can be suppressed while a large-scale decline in performance is prevented. The apparatus includes code processing units for executing coding and decoding of image data, and request-source task units (print function, scanner function and FAX transceive function), which request any one of the code converters to perform code conversion of image data. The number of request-source task units is greater than the number of code converters and a degree of priority has been set for each one. A determination unit always assigns the code converting units to processing requests from request-source task units having a high priority and, if there is an idle code converting unit, assigns the code converting unit to a processing request from a request-source task unit having a low priority.

Providing a plurality of processing units for an image forming apparatus

A data communication apparatus that reduces erroneous transmission, together with allowing an operator to confirm destinations registered as data transmission destinations. To accomplish this, the data communication apparatus includes a destination registering unit adapted to register at least one or more destinations, a data acquisition unit adapted to acquire data to transmit to the registered destinations, a destination list print unit adapted to print a destination list showing the registered destinations to allow an operator to confirm the registered destinations, an operation acquisition unit adapted to acquire, via an operation unit, a first operation operated by the operator if the destinations shown on the destination list are confirmed by the operator, and a transmission unit adapted to transmit, if the first operation is acquired, the acquired data to the destinations shown on the destination list.
