Abstract: A disclosed information processing method for use in an information apparatus including a display unit comprises a creating step of creating screen components based on screen definition data in which a screen to be displayed on the display unit is previously defined, a display controlling step of displaying the screen formed with the screen components created in the creating step, and a storing step of storing, upon transition from the screen displayed in the display controlling step, all or a part of the screen components of the screen displayed before the transition. The information processing apparatus includes at least one of a scanner function, a copier function, a facsimile machine function, and a printer function.

Abstract: A disclosed information processing device connected to an image forming device having a distribution destination setting unit setting a distribution destination of image data scanned by a scanning unit includes: a distribution procedure storage unit storing a distribution procedure for each distribution destination of the image data; a validation information storage unit storing validation information for validating the image data; an image information obtaining unit obtaining the image data and destination information set in the image data from the image forming device; a validation unit validating the image data obtained by the image information obtaining unit using the validation information stored in the validation information storage unit; and a distribution performing unit distributing, based on a result of validation by the validation unit, the image data in accordance with the distribution procedure for the destination information obtained by the image information obtaining unit.

Abstract: When delivery data input to a delivery server is directly input to an MFP by an applicant, an examination request flow is determined as a flow to be executed next. When the delivery data input to the delivery server is transmitted from an information processing apparatus of an examiner, an approval request flow is determined as the flow to be executed next. When the delivery data input to the delivery server is transmitted from the information processing apparatus of an approver, an issuance flow is determined as the flow to be executed next.

Abstract: An image processing device in which a plurality of applications each having multiple functions can be installed includes a display device and an application control unit. When screen definition information acquired from a first application includes definition information of a second application corresponding to a screen change destination, the application control unit displays an application screen in which a display component for selecting a function of the second application is arranged, on the display device. When an input manipulation on the application screen by a user is received, the application control unit specifies a function of the second application based on a result of determination of an event type of the received input manipulation and displays a functional screen of the specified function of the second application on the display device as a result of the operation of the screen change.

Abstract: A communications apparatus configured to provide a prescribed service via a network based on a standardized interface of a prescribed communications protocol is provided. The communications apparatus includes a proof confirmation unit configured to, upon receiving a request message representing a request for call-up of the standardized interface from a user, extract proof information about the user from a header region of the request message and have validity of the user verified based on the proof information; and a service executing module configured to execute a process in accordance with the standardized interface for which the call-up is requested if the validity of the user is verified.

Abstract: A printing processing device in which different jobs are generated at different stages of the printing process is disclosed that is capable of providing information of different jobs generated at different stages in connection with each other. The printing processing device includes a job information providing unit that provides the client device, in response to an information providing request from the client device for providing information of the printing job, with first job state identification information and second job state identification information in connection with the first job state identification information. The first job state identification information is used for identifying a state of a first-stage job generated at a first stage of the printing process, and the second job state identification information is used for identifying a state of a second-stage job generated at a second stage of the printing process.
