To achieve the object, according to the present invention, a control method of controlling an image forming apparatus communicably connected to a plurality of information processing apparatuses having a browser function includes the storage step of storing print data, the setting step of setting information representing a timing of printing the print data (S | 10-02-2008 |
20090080010 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - An image forming apparatus of this invention causes a user to select a function to be executed by the image forming apparatus and determines the priority order of a document based on the selected function, the storage location of the document, and the attribute information of the document. A document is searched for based on the selected function. The list of documents selected from documents found by a search unit is displayed based on the determined priority order. If the search unit has found documents having the same contents, a document having a highest priority order is displayed in the list. | 03-26-2009 |
20090293135 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - An information processing apparatus includes a document registration unit configured to register a document, a data extraction unit configured to extract a content of the document, a first setting unit configured to set an access right to the document to each user, and a first character string registration unit configured to register a character string for each user. In the information processing apparatus, when the document is registered by the document registration unit, the first setting unit sets an access right of a user to the document based on a result of comparison of the character string registered by the first character string registration unit with the content of the document extracted by the data extraction unit. | 11-26-2009 |
20100132035 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - In a case where a processing request corresponding to an instruction transmitted from a data processing apparatus is accepted from an external apparatus, an appropriate processing based on a processing request corresponding to an instruction made by a user who operates the data processing apparatus is performed. | 05-27-2010 |
20110001999 | DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - Provided is a control method for controlling a data processing apparatus that can be connected to an external apparatus via a network. The control method includes obtaining and displaying a user interface held in the external apparatus. An instruction from a user is received via the displayed user interface. The received instructions are transmitted to the external apparatus. A session for communicating with the external apparatus is reserved when authentication of the user manipulating the data processing apparatus has succeeded. The reserved session is used to execute control to receive from the external apparatus a processing request that corresponds to the instruction transmitted to the external apparatus. | 01-06-2011 |
20110173688 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - When authentication processing has succeeded between different authentication domains in an information processing apparatus, authentication information between the different authentication domains is registered in association with user-related information. When a data conversion is performed between the different authentication domains, the data conversion of the user-related information is carried out based upon the registered authentication information. | 07-14-2011 |
20110238981 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - At an apparatus, a reading unit reads a document a generation unit and generates a content data from the document and an encryption unit performs encryption processing on the content data using an encryption key and a transmission unit, when an instruction for not using a service for performing processing on the content data provided by a server group and for storing the generated content data in the server group is received, transmits to the server group the content data on which the encryption processing has been performed, and, when an instruction for using the service is received, transmits to the server group the content data on which the encryption processing has not been performed. | 09-29-2011 |
20120008164 | PROCESSING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM THEREFOR - A processing system may include a server group connectable to an image forming apparatus, a request processing unit, a backend processing unit, a receiving unit, a determination unit, and a sending unit. The receiving unit receives information relating to a document file corresponding to a processing request from the image forming apparatus. If the determination unit determines that that the processing method is a synchronous processing method, then the request processing unit processes the document file based on the processing request. If the determination unit determines that that the processing method is an asynchronous processing method, then the request processing unit requests the backend processing unit to process the processing request. After the document file has been processed according to the determined processing method, the sending unit sends a notification to the image forming apparatus that the document file has been processed. | 01-12-2012 |
20120120437 | PRINT RELAY SYSTEM, PRINT RELAY SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A print relay system capable of executing a communication between a print service system configured to provide a print setting screen to an information terminal operated by a user, to receive a print setting set by the user via the provided print setting screen, and to generate a print job based on the received print setting and stored settings for an image forming apparatus configured to output image data based on the print job includes a receiving unit configured to receive a print job, which is transmitted in a case that a print instruction is input by the information terminal to the print service system, a job updating unit configured to update the print job received by the receiving unit, and a job transmission unit configured to transmit the print job updated by the job updating unit to the image forming apparatus. | 05-17-2012 |
20130009967 | MOBILE TERMINAL, SETTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A mobile terminal including a display unit and communicably connected to a storage apparatus storing setting information of a user interface for an information processing terminal for receiving a user operation to data in the information processing terminal. The mobile terminal includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires the setting information from the storage apparatus. The control unit displays a user interface for the mobile terminal using the setting information on the display unit. | 01-10-2013 |
20130258399 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A mobile terminal is connected to a server and an image forming device that store image forming device information in such a manner that the mobile terminal can communicate with the server and the image forming device. The mobile terminal acquires image forming device information from the selected server and/or image forming device. When the acquired image forming device information includes duplication of an image forming device, an image forming device list is generated by removing the duplication. Information of an image forming device to be used is displayed on a user interface of the mobile terminal. A usable image forming device is selected and presented to a user. | 10-03-2013 |
20130263137 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, APPLICATION ACTIVATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - It is determined whether an instruction for initial activation of an application is issued by a user or an operating system (step S | 10-03-2013 |
20140136731 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND CONTROL METHOD - An information processing apparatus acquires a second address by inquiring of a Domain Name System server a first address, determines whether the second address coincides with a third address, identifies a communication method when the determination unit determines that the second address coincides with the third address, and communicates with an external information processing apparatus using the identified communication method. | 05-15-2014 |
