Abstract
In order to support a user operation in a system cooperation function using wireless communication, an information processing system includes an image processing apparatus with an image scanning unit and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal performs wireless communication with the image processing apparatus; identifies a distance from the image processing apparatus based on the wireless communication; displays a screen used to accept a user operation; and controls an image scanning operation by the image scanning unit in cooperation with the image processing apparatus. If the distance is less than a predetermined distance, the mobile terminal displays a first screen that prompts a first scanning method, and if the distance is not less than the predetermined distance, the mobile terminal displays a second screen that prompts a second scanning method different from the first scanning method.
