Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first display controller, a second display controller, an image display controller and a first switching unit. The first display controller performs control such that a first screen is displayed on a display. The first screen is a screen that shows a specified destination and includes a first image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination. The second display controller performs control such that a second screen is displayed. The second screen is a screen that shows a specified destination. The image display controller performs control, in response to a predetermined operation performed while the second screen is displayed, such that a second image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination is displayed on the display. The first switching unit switches between the first screen and the second screen.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of preventing a user from unnecessarily taking a wasteful action. Whether a communication line is connected to the information processing apparatus and an off-hook state in the information processing apparatus are detected. Whether to turn on a display unit is controlled. When connection of the communication line to the information processing apparatus and the off-hook state are detected the display unit is controlled to turn on. When non-connection of the communication line to the information processing apparatus and the off-hook state are detected, the display unit is controlled not to turn on.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide for checking documents for security compliance when the documents are printed, scanned, or copied. A security status is determined based on security indicators within a document's content. Security indicators can be located within a document's text, figures, watermarks, security marks, and invisible marks. Security indicators can be found by comparing a document's content to a set of stored indicator descriptions. The indicators found are used to determine a document score and security responses are triggered based on the document score.
