1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to an image processing system, an image processing apparatus control method, and a recording medium storing an image processing apparatus control program.
2. Background Art
With increased computerization of information, image processing apparatuses such as printers and facsimiles used for outputting the computerized information and scanners used for computerizing documents have become indispensable. In most cases, these image processing apparatuses are configured as multifunctional peripherals (MFPs) that can be used as a printer, facsimile, scanner, and copier by implementing an image pickup function, image forming function, communication function, etc.
On the other hand, mobile phones have also become highly advanced, and mobile information processing devices such as smart phones and tablet devices that have information processing functions approaching the sophistication of PCs (hereinafter referred to as “mobile devices”) have become popular. These mobile devices generally include a home screen as a starting point for user operations, with applications accessed via icons displayed on the home screen.
In these kinds of mobile devices, in order to cooperate with the image processing apparatuses effectively, a technology that displays a scanning configuration screen of the image processing apparatus on the mobile device and instructs the image processing apparatus to perform scanning in accordance with the configuration input on the configuration screen on the mobile device has been proposed (e.g., JP-2008-193265-A).
