Abstract: An image processing apparatus wirelessly communicates with an information processing apparatus without passing through an access point, provides a print service in which predetermined printing is performed in response to a print request from the information processing apparatus via a wireless communication unit, and enables a setting that is used for providing the print service if the setting is disabled when the information processing apparatus establishes communication with the image processing apparatus via the wireless communication unit.

Abstract: The information processing apparatus receives a screen for setting positional information about an image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus and displays the screen, acquires positional information about the information processing apparatus in response to the selection of settings for the positional information via the screen by a user, and transmits the acquired positional information about the information processing apparatus to the image forming apparatus. In this manner, the positional information about the information processing apparatus is set as the positional information about the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of collecting electronic data efficiently and avoiding sharing highly confidential and secure electronic data with an indefinite number of users. The information processing apparatus is connected to an external apparatus through a network. The information processing apparatus receives electronic data from the external apparatus, registers attribute information related to the received electronic data in association with the received electronic data so that the received electronic data can be retrieved by using the attribute information, and controls the registering unit so as to register the attribute information related to the received electronic data when the received electronic data is not confidential data, and so as not to register the attribute information related to the received electronic data when the received electronic data is confidential data.

Abstract: A printing apparatus receives a transmission request of information to be used by an information processing apparatus to transmit an image to the printing apparatus via an image processing apparatus from the information processing apparatus including the image. The printing apparatus transmits the information to the information processing apparatus if the transmission request is received. Then, the printing apparatus acquires the image that the information processing apparatus transmits using the information and prints the acquired image.

Abstract: This invention provides an image forming apparatus which prevents unauthorized printing without impairing the user's convenience. To accomplish this, upon reception of the print job, the image forming apparatus determines if the print job is a storage target job. If the print job is a storage target job, the image forming apparatus temporarily stores the print job in a memory without starting printing. The image forming apparatus creates and transmits a URL which is required to access a Web server included in the self apparatus and is uniquely assigned to the print job, to the external apparatus which transmitted the print job. After that, when an access to the URL is generated, the image forming apparatus starts printing the temporarily stored print job.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus which suitably collects information necessary for performing a cause analysis when a communication failure occurs. To accomplish this, when communication is performed between an information processing apparatus 102 and an external apparatus 101 through a network, determination is made as to whether or not the communication between the information processing apparatus 102 and the external apparatus 101 has properly been performed from the time the connection is established until the time the connection is disconnected. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the communication during the connection has not properly been performed, communication packets transmitted or received between the information processing apparatus 102 and the external apparatus 101 during the connection are stored.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus that, when a particular event that is different from an operation event made on an operation screen provided by a web server has occurred, actively transmits a notification of the event to the web server and a control method thereof. To accomplish this, the information processing apparatus is configured such that, when a particular event that is different from operation events made on the operation screen provided by the web server has occurred in the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus determines whether or not the web server is waiting for notification of the particular event and if the web server is waiting for notification of the particular event, the information processing apparatus notifies the web server of the particular event.

Abstract: When an MFP receives an operation screen from an external apparatus, it also receives information about specific hardware resource of the MFP to be used for the image processing based on the operation screen. When the image processing cannot be executed using the specific hardware resource of the MFP due to the error that has occurred in the MFP, the error screen is controlled not to be displayed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of collecting electronic data efficiently and avoiding sharing highly confidential and secure electronic data with an indefinite number of users. The information processing apparatus is connected to an external apparatus through a network. The information processing apparatus receives electronic data from the external apparatus, registers attribute information related to the received electronic data in association with the received electronic data so that the received electronic data can be retrieved by using the attribute information, and controls the registering unit so as to register the attribute information related to the received electronic data when the received electronic data is not confidential data, and so as not to register the attribute information related to the received electronic data when the received electronic data is confidential data.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of continuing execution of a job performed thus far, even if a user's screen transition operation is performed while the job is being executed. When a job is executed, an MFP as the information processing apparatus determines whether there is a job previously in execution based on execution states of jobs managed by a cookie information management part. If there is a job previously in execution, the MFP makes an inquiry about an execution result of the job to a job status management unit that manages job execution results on a per job basis, and according to a result of the inquiry, changes an operation screen to be displayed on a display unit and a job to be executed.

Abstract: An apparatus determines whether a current display is a web screen, when a user operation performed via the web screen indicates a display of a native screen and when a web server instructs the apparatus to display the native screen. The apparatus switches the current display to the native screen when the current display is the web screen, and maintains the current display when the current display is not the web screen.
