Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A document management server, in a case where a document of the same name as that of a document being requested to be registered from a client has been registered, determines whether the document of the same name has a plurality of versions. If the document management server determines that the document of the same name has a plurality of versions, after the document name of the document of the same name has been changed, the document management server registers the document being requested to be registered. Meanwhile, if the document management server determines that the document of the same name has only one version, the document management server overwrites the document being requested to be registered with the document of the same name, and registers the overwritten document.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In a condition that a printing device cannot be used, print can be requested to other print managing device. A center server 102 includes a print server information storage device 210 for registering vacant status of printing devices managed by a plurality of print servers 103, and each print server 103 includes external print request means 207 for requesting print of print order data to other print server 103, status registration means 205 for registering vacant status information of the printing device managed by the server itself in the print server information storage device 210, and external print request candidate reference means 206 for automatically selecting other print server 103 to which the print of the print order data is requested on the basis of the vacant status information of the printing devices managed by other print servers 103 registered in the print server information storage device 210.
