Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to control a status, between read and unread, of a document received by facsimile from a sender apparatus. The circuitry controls display of a proposal screen for proposing that a sender facsimile number satisfying a predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number. A facsimile from the rejected facsimile number is to be rejected or deleted.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:
- control a status, between read status and unread status, of a document received by facsimile from a sender apparatus;
- count a number of unread documents in the unread status or a number of facsimile documents received in a predetermined period for each of sender facsimile numbers;
- determine that a sender facsimile number among the sender facsimile numbers satisfies a predetermined condition that the number of unread documents from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a first threshold value or the number of facsimile documents received in the predetermined period from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a second threshold value;
- and
- control display of a proposal screen for proposing that the sender facsimile number satisfying the predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number, the rejected facsimile number a facsimile from which is to be rejected or deleted.

An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus configured to perform facsimile transmission and reception;
- and
- a server connected via a network to the information processing apparatus, the server including first circuitry configured to:
- receive, from the information processing apparatus, information of a document received by facsimile;
- count a number of unread documents or a number of facsimile documents received in a predetermined period for each sender facsimile number;
- determine that a sender facsimile number satisfies a predetermined condition that the number of unread documents from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a first threshold value or the number of facsimile documents received in the predetermined period from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a second threshold value;
- and
- transmit, to the information processing apparatus, a proposal that the sender facsimile number satisfying the predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number,
- the information processing apparatus including second circuitry configured to:
- control a status, between read status and unread status, of the document received by facsimile;
- and
- control display of a proposal screen based on the proposal transmitted from the server.

- counting a number of unread documents in the unread status or a number of facsimile documents received in a predetermined period for each of sender facsimile numbers;
- determining that a sender facsimile number among the sender facsimile numbers satisfies a predetermined condition that the number of unread documents from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a first threshold value or the number of facsimile documents received in the predetermined period from the sender facsimile number is equal to or greater than a second threshold value;
- and
- controlling display of a proposal screen for proposing that the sender facsimile number satisfying the predetermined condition be registered as a rejected facsimile number, the rejected facsimile number a facsimile from which is to be rejected or deleted.
