  • Patent number: 11909928
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that changes a state of a monitoring process that waits for image data from an image processing apparatus between a working state and a non-working state as necessary. The information processing apparatus includes a first transmission unit that transmits identification information about the information processing apparatus to the image processing apparatus, a reception unit that receives image data that is generated by scanning a document by the image processing apparatus and is transmitted from the image processing apparatus using the identification information, a second transmission unit that transmits the received image data to a predetermined application in the information processing apparatus, and a setting unit that sets as to whether the second transmission unit transmits the received image data to the predetermined application.

  • Patent number: 11831821
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of performing reception of an image in response to a transmission request issued before image accumulation while suppressing power consumption. The information processing apparatus transmits a request for transmitting an image to an image processing apparatus and monitors whether or not an image associated with the transmission request has been received. In response to receiving information indicating that there is no image associated with the transmission request, as a response to the transmission request, monitoring of whether or not an image associated with the transmission request has been received is started.

  • Publication number: 20140173510
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus determines whether a medium contains specific information. If the medium is determined not to contain the specific information, the information processing apparatus displays a first window including information about the medium for a first time. If the medium is determined to contain the specific information, the information processing apparatus displays the first window for a second time longer than the first time.
