Information about a user is sent to a server from a device to perform authentication. A scan document generated by scanning a paper document is sent to the server from the device to request registration thereof. If the scan document, the registration of which has been requested from the device, has a size that exceeds free space in a contract area, the server extracts a document that meets a save condition from documents that should be stored in the contract area. The server then moves the extracted document from the contract area into a temporary area so as to register in the contract area the scan document the registration of which has been requested from the device. The server notifies a predetermined destination of information about the document moved into the temporary area.

System, image forming apparatus, and method for extracting data from a set of electronic data based on a predetermined condition

An image processing apparatus capable of requesting a service providing apparatus via an external network to perform processing and communicating with an information processing apparatus via an internal network includes an activation unit configured to activate a check unit configured to check a status of the processing acquired by the information processing apparatus, a stopping unit configured to stop the check unit if the check unit activated by the activation unit recognizes that the status of the processing is not a stopped state, and a request unit configured to request the service providing apparatus to perform the processing if the check unit is stopped.

Image processing apparatus, information processing apparatus, and method therefor

An information processing system comprises a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus comprises transmission means for transmitting data to said second information processing apparatus and registration means for instructing said second information processing apparatus to execute registration of the data. On the other hand, the second information processing apparatus comprises verification means for verifying data received from said first information processing apparatus, acquisition means for acquiring status of a verification process by said verification means and control means for controlling to output a verification result by a method, which varies depending on the status of the verification process, when the registration instruction is received. The information processing system according to the present invention can notify the user of the verification result of data by a server using an appropriate method.
