Abstract
An information processing apparatus communicates with a fax apparatus and provides a chat service. The information processing apparatus includes an acceptance unit that accepts an execution instruction on a channel of the chat service from a user and a transmission unit that transmits, based on acceptance of the execution instruction by the acceptance unit, to the fax apparatus, an instruction for the fax apparatus to transmit image data uploaded to the channel of the chat service to a transmission destination and the image data.
Claims22
An information processing apparatus that communicates with a fax apparatus and provides a chat service, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller that accepts operation of a first object displayed on a channel of the chat service,
- wherein the controller displays, based on the operation of the first object, a second object for instructing fax transmission to the fax apparatus and a third object;
- and
- a communicator that transmits, based on operation of the second object,
- an instruction to the fax apparatus for the fax apparatus to transmit image data uploaded to the channel of the chat service to a transmission destination, and
- the image data to the fax apparatus,
- wherein the controller displays, in a state that the second object is displayed, the third object for selecting the transmission destination from a plurality of destinations registered in the fax apparatus.
