Abstract: A portable terminal includes a display that displays a message and a controller that controls a cooperative operation with the image forming apparatus. The controller causes the display to display the message when the controller detects a proximity of the portable terminal to the image forming apparatus, and causes the display to stop displaying the message that is displayed on the display when an intensity of radio wave for short-range wireless communication from the image forming apparatus becomes equal or smaller than a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus can communicate by radio with an MFP in a defined range among a plurality of MFPs. When an MFP of which radio communication intensity is higher than a threshold value defined in advance is detected among the plurality of MFPs, the terminal apparatus quits radio communication before it accepts an operation to indicate connection of radio communication from a user. When such a user operation is accepted, the terminal apparatus establishes radio communication with an MFP of which radio communication intensity is highest at the time when the user operation is performed.

Abstract: An image processing system comprises a portable terminal and multiple image processing apparatuses. The portable terminal comprises: a determining portion which determines a target identification operation proving the identify of a target image processing apparatus; a display which displays information about the target identification operation; and an instructing portion which instructs the multiple image processing apparatuses to return answer information. The multiple image processing apparatuses each comprises: a detector which detects that the operation corresponding to the target identification operation has been performed; and a transmitter which transmits to the portable terminal, the answer information and apparatus information. Then the portable terminal further comprises: a receiver which receives the answer information and the apparatus information; and an identifying portion which identifies the target image processing apparatus based on the answer information and the apparatus information.

Abstract: An information processing system comprising an information processing device and a portable terminal. The information processing device includes: a first wireless communication part that establishes wireless communication with the portable terminal; a screen controller that updates a screen displayed on a display part based on a user operation; a tag information storage that stores therein tag information which is sent to the portable terminal; and a tag information updating part that updates the tag information depending on the screen displayed on the display part. The portable terminal includes: a second wireless communication part that establishes wireless communication with the information processing device; and a controller that performs an operation depending on the screen displayed at the information processing device based on the tag information.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus downloads a file from a file server, generates a print job using the downloaded file, and transmits the generated print job toward an MFP. In the terminal apparatus, an application for downloading the file to be printed from the file server (a first application) accepts input of information which specifies the file to be downloaded, and thereafter initiates an application for transmitting the print job toward the MFP (a second application). After the second application accepts input of print setting, the first application starts download of the file.

Abstract: An image forming system comprises an external terminal and an image forming apparatus. The external terminal has a position information detection part for detecting terminal position information which is position information of the external terminal and a transmitting part capable of transmitting the terminal position information. The image forming apparatus has a communication part for receiving the terminal position information which is position information of the external terminal from the external terminal and an acquisition part for acquiring apparatus position information which is position information of the image forming apparatus on the basis of the terminal position information.

Abstract: A print ordering sheet for group members, which is used via a shop when the group member places an order of print from a photographed image stored in an information recording medium shared by the group members, including: a displaying section for displaying a visual list including total printed images produced from the photographed images; a print order assigning section for each printed image on the list; a control information displaying section for displaying control information relevant to a group; an identification writing section for writing identification information of the group member; and an address displaying section for displaying a contact address of the shop.
