  • Patent number: 11368598
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that positively notifies a notification destination of information to be notified even if a communication protocol is changed before notifying storage of stored data. A notification setting processing section of a document storage notification application sets a protocol for accessing the stored document data from a computer via a network. When document data is stored in a HDD, a mail transmission processing section notifies the computer of storage location information on the document data for accessing the data according to the set protocol. If the set protocol is changed before the storage location information is notified to the computer, a control section causes the mail transmission processing section to notify the computer of storage location information for causing the document data to be accessed using the changed protocol.

  • Patent number: 10205842
    Abstract: In a case where data synchronization between a server and a client is performed by difference synchronization, when the data of the server is restored by backup data, a mismatch occurs between the data held in the client and the data held in the server. If the previous synchronization with the client has been performed before restoring, the client is synchronized with all the data held in the server. If the previous synchronization with the client is after restoring, the server notifies the client of data update contents in the server since the previous update with the client and causes the client to update the held data.
