Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a sample extracting unit, a trail information memory, a trail acquisition instructing unit, a trail accepting unit, and a trail determining unit. The sample extracting unit extracts samples from a population. The trail information memory stores information about trails. The trail acquisition instructing unit provides an instruction to acquire a trail for a sample extracted by the sample extracting unit. The trail accepting unit accepts trails. The trail determining unit determines, every time the trail accepting unit accepts a trail, whether the accepted trail is valid or invalid in accordance with the information stored in the trail information memory. If the trail determining unit determines that the accepted trail is invalid, the trail acquisition instructing unit provides again an instruction to acquire a trail.

Abstract: An image input and output system is provided in which a common operation screen for a plurality of image output devices having different attributes is displayed. Based on attribute information of each of printers, the server generates a signal for generating an operation screen, and transmits the signal to the scanner. At the scanner, image data is inputted, and a common operation screen, which is generated based on the signal for generating the operation screen, is displayed on a display panel. When information designating the printer and information relating to an output format of an image is inputted from the display panel, the inputted information and the image data are transmitted to the server. The server transmits, to a designated printer, the image data and the information relating to the output format of the image, which are transmitted from the scanner, and images are outputted.
