  • Patent number: 11119712
    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a controller determines using setting specification information whether all of a plurality of users is permitted to use all of a plurality of setting values for a setting category in response to receiving a registration instruction. The setting specification information specifies for each user at least one setting value that is permitted to use for an image process by the user. In response to determining that any of the plurality of users is not permitted to use all of the setting values for the setting category, the controller transmits to the server a registration request not including the plurality of setting values for the setting category. The controller controls, in response to receiving a function execution instruction from the server, an image processing unit to execute the image process in accordance with a setting including a setting value for the setting category.

  • Patent number: 10664205
    Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, a processor transmits to the server a first registration request including incapability information. The incapability information indicates that any of a plurality of settings for an image process is incapable of being designated. The processor receives from the server a first function execution instruction including the account information, and first relation information which is related to a fact that no setting for the image process is specified. The processor acquires from a memory setting specification information correlated with the account information. The processor displays a specification screen for prompting a user to specify one setting from among one or more settings for the image process specified by the acquired setting specification information. In a case where the user specifies a first setting via the specification screen, the processor controls an image processing execution unit to execute the image process in accordance with the first setting.
