Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a data sharing unit configured to cause an application selected as a data output destination to process data which is output by an application which is a data output source; a process-object-data generation control unit configured to generate process object data in one of a first format and a second format based on image data acquired by an image information interface from an image information source; and an application-information display unit configured to display identification images for identifying applications which the data sharing unit can select as the data output destination if the data sharing unit is to process either data of the first format or data of the second format.

Claims (38)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by a processor of an information processing apparatus comprising a display and a communication interface,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to execute:

receiving a scan data from a scanner through the communication interface;

displaying, on the display, a sharing button configured to accept a sharing operation to share an image file with a sharing-destination-application, the image file being generated from the scan data;

after accepting the sharing operation, displaying, on the display, a format selection area configured to accept a format selection operation to select a format of the image file from a first format and a second format; and

after accepting the format selection operation, displaying, on the display, an icon image of the sharing-destination-application, wherein the displaying includes:

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a first sharing-destination-application in a case where the first format is selected in the format selection operation, the first sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the first format; and

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a second sharing-destination-application in a case where the second format is selected in the format selection operation, the second sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the second format.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein after accepting a selection of the icon image of the sharing-destination-application, the instructions cause the information processing apparatus to execute sharing the image file with the sharing-destination-application corresponding to the selected icon image.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein, the displaying includes displaying plural icon images in a case where there is a plurality of sharing-destination-applications capable of processing the image file with the format selected in the format selection operation.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the instructions further cause the information processing apparatus to execute displaying a preview image based on the scan data.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first format is a JPEG format, and the second format is a PDF format.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the scan data is JPEG data or raw image data acquired in the scanner.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display includes an LCD.

8. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display;

a communication interface;

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive a scan data from a scanner through the communication interface;

display, on the display, a sharing button configured to accept a sharing operation to share an image file with a sharing-destination-application, the image file being generated from the scan data;

after accepting the sharing operation, display, on the display, a format selection area configured to accept a format selection operation to select a format of the image file from a first format and a second format; and

after accepting the format selection operation, display, on the display, an icon image of the sharing-destination-application, wherein the displaying includes:

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a first sharing-destination-application in a case where the first format is selected in the format selection operation, the first sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the first format; and

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a second sharing-destination-application in a case where the second format is selected in the format selection operation, the second sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the second format.

9. An information processing method which is performed in an information processing apparatus including a display and a communication interface, the information processing method comprising the steps of:

receiving a scan data from a scanner a through the communication interface;

displaying, on the display, a sharing button configured to accept a sharing operation to share an image file with a sharing-destination-application, the image file being generated from the scan data;

after accepting the sharing operation, displaying, on the display, a format selection area configured to accept a format selection operation to select a format of the image file from a first format and a second format; and

after accepting the format selection operation, displaying, on the display, an icon image of the sharing-destination-application, wherein the displaying includes:

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a first sharing-destination-application in a case where the first format is selected in the format selection operation, the first sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the first format; and

displaying, on the display, an icon image of a second sharing-destination-application in a case where the second format is selected in the format selection operation, the second sharing-destination-application being capable of processing the image file of the second format.
