Abstract

An information processing terminal includes a hardware processor that displays an operation screen of an image processing apparatus in accordance with Web UI display data received from a server, returns information about an operation received from a user through the operation screen to the server, receives a job setting operation, determines whether job setting information created by the server recognizing details of the operation from the information about the operation is to be transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus by a first communication method in accordance with a predetermined determination condition, the first communication method involving a path via a local network to which the image processing apparatus belongs, acquires the job setting information when the hardware processor determines that the first communication method is not to be used, and transmits the acquired job setting information to the image processing apparatus, using a second communication method.

Claims (29)

1. An information processing terminal comprising:

an operation panel; and

a hardware processor that:

causes the operation panel to display an operation screen of an image processing apparatus in accordance with Web User Interface (UI) display data received from a server, returns, to the server, information on a user operation received through the operation screen, and receives a job setting operation of the user operation;

determines, when a predetermined determination condition is met, whether job setting information created by the server is transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus by a first communication method, wherein the server recognizes details of the user operation from the information on the user operation, and the first communication method involves a path via a local network to which the image processing apparatus belongs;

acquires the job setting information from the server when determining that the first communication method is not used; and

transmits the acquired job setting information to the image processing apparatus using a second communication method different from the first communication method.

2. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the hardware processor acquires a security level of communication by the first communication method, and

the predetermined determination condition is that the security level meets a predetermined standard.

3. The information processing terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor communicates with the server by connecting to the local network when the security level of the local network meets the predetermined standard, and switches the connection to communicate with the server through a private network without using the local network when the security level of the local network does not meet the predetermined standard.

4. The information processing terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor changes the predetermined standard in accordance with a job.

5. The information processing terminal according to claim 2 , wherein,

upon determining that the job setting information is not transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus by the first communication method, the hardware processor receives part of the job setting information from the server, and transmits the part of the job setting information to the image processing apparatus by the second communication method, and

a remaining part of the job setting information is transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus using the first communication method.

6. The information processing terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second communication method is near-field communication.

7. A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program implemented in an information processing terminal that comprises: an operation panel; and a hardware processor that causes the operation panel to display an operation screen of an image processing apparatus in accordance with Web User Interface (UI) display data received from a server, returns, to the server, information on a user operation received through the operation screen, and receives a job setting operation of the user operation,

the computer readable program causing the hardware processor to execute:

determining, when a predetermined determination condition is met, whether job setting information created by the server is transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus by a first communication method, wherein the server recognizes details of the user operation from the information on the user operation, and the first communication method involves a path via a local network to which the image processing apparatus belongs;

acquiring the job setting information from the server when determining that the first communication method is not used; and

transmitting the acquired job setting information to the image processing apparatus using a second communication method different from the first communication method.

8. The non-transitory recording medium storing the computer readable program according to claim 7 , wherein the computer readable program further causes the hardware processor to acquire a security level of communication by the first communication method, and

the predetermined determination condition is that the security level meets a predetermined standard.

9. The non-transitory recording medium storing the computer readable program according to claim 8 , wherein the computer readable program further causes the hardware processor to communicate with the server by connecting to the local network when the security level of the local network meets the predetermined standard, and switch the connection to communicate with the server through a private network without using the local network when the security level of the local network does not meet the predetermined standard.

10. The non-transitory recording medium storing the computer readable program according to claim 8 , wherein the computer readable program further causes the hardware processor to change the predetermined standard in accordance with a job.

11. The non-transitory recording medium storing the computer readable program according to claim 8 , wherein,

upon determining that the job setting information is not transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus by the first communication method, the hardware processor receives a part of the job setting information is received from the server, and transmits the part of the job setting information is transmitted by the second communication method, and

a remaining part of the job setting information is transmitted from the server to the image processing apparatus using the first communication method.

12. The non-transitory recording medium storing the computer readable program according to claim 7 , wherein the second communication method is near-field communication.
