Abstract

A system includes an information processing apparatus that provides a chat service and an image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives a reading setting based on an instruction from a user and a transmission unit that transmits the received reading setting to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes a reading unit that reads an image of a document and generates image data, a reception unit that receives the transmitted reading setting, a registration unit that registers an object associated with the received reading setting, a display unit that displays the registered object, and a control unit that, based on satisfaction of a predetermined condition without the instruction from the user, controls the display unit not to display the object.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
an information processing apparatus configured to provide a chat service; and
an image processing apparatus,
wherein the information processing apparatus includes:
a first processor that receives a scanning setting based on an instruction from a user in a channel of the chat service; and

a first network interface that transmits the received scanning setting to the image processing apparatus, and
wherein the image processing apparatus includes:
a display;
a scanner that scans an image of a document and generates image data;
a second network interface that receives the scanning setting transmitted from the first network interface; and
a second processor that registers an object associated with the scanning setting received by the second network interface;

wherein the second processor displays the registered object on the display before a predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered, and
wherein the second processor does not display the registered object on the display after the predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered.

2. An image processing apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus that provides a chat service, receives a scanning setting based on an instruction from a user in a channel of the chat service, and transmits the scanning setting, the image processing apparatus comprising:
a display;
a network interface that receives the scanning setting from the information processing apparatus; and
one or more processors that register an object associated with the scanning setting received by the network interface;
wherein the one or more processors display the registered object on the display before a predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered, and
wherein the one or more processors do not display the registered object on the display after the predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage that stores information corresponding to the object registered by the one or more processors,
wherein, based on an elapse of the predetermined period from when the object is registered, the one or more processors control the storage so as not to store the information corresponding to the object.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the network interface transmits based on the elapse of the predetermined period from when the object is registered, a notification indicating that the object has been deleted to the information processing apparatus.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where the one or more processors do not display the object on the display based on an instruction from the user, the network interface does not transmit the notification.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the network interface transmits the notification to the information processing apparatus so that the notification is posted to the channel in which the instruction is received.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein the network interface receives information indicating the channel in which the scanning setting and the instruction are received from the information processing apparatus, and
wherein, based on the information indicating the channel received by the network interface, the network interface transmits the notification to the information processing apparatus so that the notification is posted to the channel in which the instruction is received.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a scanner that scans a document to generate image data,
wherein, in a case where the object displayed by the display is selected, the scanner scans the document based on the scanning setting corresponding to the selected object and generates the image data, and then the network interface transmits the image data to the information processing apparatus.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the image data transmitted to the information processing apparatus in the case where the object displayed on the display is selected is posted to the channel.

10. A method for controlling an image processing apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus that provides a chat service, receives a scanning setting based on an instruction from a user in a channel of the chat service, transmits the scanning setting and includes a display, the control method comprising:
receiving the scanning setting from the information processing apparatus;
registering an object associated with the received scanning setting;
displaying the registered object on the display before a predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered; and
not displaying the registered object on the display after the predetermined period elapses from when the object is registered.
