  • Patent number: 9584697
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a stored data acquiring unit configured to acquire stored data that is stored in a predetermined storage location of an output apparatus that is connected to the information processing apparatus via a network. The stored data is acquired from the predetermined storage location based on destination information of input data. The information processing apparatus further includes an editing unit configured to execute editing operations of combining the input data and the stored data acquired by the stored data acquiring unit to generate one single set of output data, and a delivery control unit configured to control delivery of the output data generated by the editing unit such that the output data is delivered, based on the destination information, to the predetermined storage location from which the stored data has been acquired.
