  • Patent number: 11704013
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a touch panel display includes a detection unit configured to detect a touch operation performed by a user on the touch panel display, and a display control unit configured to, when the detection unit detects that an object has touched a predetermined region and further detects that the object touching the predetermined region has separated therefrom, control a display to shift to a screen associated with the predetermined region. Further, the display control unit is configured to, during a period from when the object has touched the predetermined region until when the object has separated therefrom, display a text string on the predetermined region of the touch panel display, and scroll-display a text string on the predetermined region if the text string exceeds a number of characters displayable at a time on the predetermined region.

  • Patent number: 11522853
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of maintaining user's convenience in performing transmission while utilizing a transmission setting even when destinations usable for the transmission according to the transmission setting are restricted to a predetermined destination such as an authenticated user's address in order to enhance security. In a case where destinations usable for the transmission according to the transmission setting are restricted to an authenticated user's address and where at least one transmission destination registered in the transmission setting differs from the user's address, the at least one transmission destination registered in the transmission setting is rewritten to the authenticated user's address.

  • Patent number: 10686798
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus controls the use of a remote user interface (RUI) by requesting authentication with an RUI access password from a client device in a case where the RUI access password is set. In a case of a department ID management setting, the security setting is different from the RUI access password setting. In this situation, the image forming apparatus requests authentication with the department ID, and then controls the use of the RUI based on the result of the authentication.

  • Patent number: 10129416
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus is configured to accept an operation instruction from an operation unit of the image processing apparatus and, via a network, an operation instruction from an information processing apparatus. A restriction is set on change in a setting of the image processing apparatus. Whether to permit cancellation of the restriction setting is set. A control is made in such a way that the cancellation of the restriction setting is permitted in a case where the cancellation of the restriction setting is set to be permitted. A control is made in such a way that the cancellation of the restriction setting is not permitted in a case where the cancellation of the restriction setting is set not to be permitted. An instruction from the information processing apparatus is accepted to cancel the restriction setting regardless of the setting of whether to permit the cancellation of the restriction setting.

  • Patent number: 9160870
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus of this invention selects, as a destination to be used for data transmission, a destination stored in advance. If the destination has been selected by a first selection method, the apparatus executes the data transmission after displaying on a display unit a confirmation screen for the user to confirm the selected destination. If the destination has been selected by a second selection method, the apparatus executes the data transmission without displaying the confirmation screen on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 9094545
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which is capable of performing scanning of an original, using a plurality of scan settings stored in an information processing apparatus, without necessitating a dedicated server or a complicated user operation before execution of the scanning. An image processing apparatus (MFP) receives and displays host PC names and scan setting names transmitted from host PCs on a display section. The MFP finalizes a host PC name selected by a user from the host PC names and one of scan setting names associated with the finalized host PC name, which is selected by the user. The MFP sends a scan execution instruction to the host PC to instruct the same to execute scanning using a scan setting associated with the finalized scan setting name.
