Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller configured to provide a mobile input function to a mobile terminal via the network interface. The mobile input function enables the image forming apparatus to accept input operations from the mobile terminal via the network interface. The controller displays access information on the touch panel when the mobile input function is not provided, and starts providing the mobile input function in response to receiving access from the mobile terminal using the access information via the network interface. After starting to provide the mobile input function, the controller sends display data to the mobile terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the mobile terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the mobile terminal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of performing appropriate processing wider a predetermined usage agreement. To this end, the information processing apparatus stores state information indicating whether the information processing apparatus is in a first state in which a predetermined service is unavailable or a second state in which the predetermined service is available. Moreover, the information processing apparatus communicates with a server and updates the stored state information based on the predetermined agreement information obtained from the server. In the case where the stored state information indicates the second state at a timing at which the information processing apparatus is reactivated or recovers from a power-saving mode, the information processing apparatus performs the processing of communicating with the server and updating the state information and the preparation processing for starting predetermined processing according to a received job in parallel.

Abstract: A controller of an image processor, when detecting a portable terminal device’s presence, accepts a selecting operation to select whether or not to refer to an address book held by a portable terminal device (step S32), when accepting the request for referring to the address book, establishes a near field communication with the portable terminal device (Step S34), and acquires, from the portable terminal device, the destination information in the address book (Step S35). When acquiring the destination information in the address book, the controller generates a destination list based on the destination information (Step S36), accepts a selecting operation to select a destination of the image data from the destination list (Step S37), and sends the image data to the accepted destination (Step S39).
