Image processing apparatus

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of program instructions executable on an image processing apparatus having a display, an image processor configured to perform an image processing operation of image data, and a first communication interface, the set of program instructions comprising:

• acquiring instruction data, the instruction data including notification data and location information indicative of a location of next instruction data;
• controlling at least one of the display and the image processor to perform an operation instructed by the instruction data acquired most recently;
• when controlling the at least one of the display and the image processor, connecting the first communication interface with a mobile terminal within a particular distance range from the image processing apparatus, in accordance with a near-field wireless communication protocol;
• when controlling the at least one of the display and the image processor, transmitting the notification data extracted from the instruction data acquired most recently, to the mobile terminal through the first communication interface, the notification data being data for specifying an operation to be performed by the mobile terminal;
• and
• acquiring the next instruction data based on the location information extracted from the instruction data acquired most recently.

A method of transmitting information to a mobile terminal from an image processing apparatus having a display, an image processor configured to perform an image processing operation of image data, and a first communication interface, the method comprising:

• acquiring instruction data, the instruction data including notification data and location information indicative of a location of next instruction data;
• controlling at least one of the display and the image processor to perform an operation instructed by the instruction data acquired most recently;
• when controlling the at least one of the display and the image processor, connecting the first communication interface with the mobile terminal within a particular distance range from the image processing apparatus, in accordance with a near-field wireless communication protocol;
• when controlling the at least one of the display and the image processor, transmitting the notification data extracted from the instruction data acquired most recently, to the mobile terminal through the first communication interface, the notification data being data for specifying an operation to be performed by the mobile terminal;
