Image processing system with ease of operation

A control method for an image processing system including a portable terminal having a shooting unit and a display unit, equipment, at least one of which is an image processing apparatus, and an information processing apparatus,

• wherein said information processing apparatus stores, as information about said equipment, positional information of said equipment and communication information for communicating with said equipment,
• said control method comprising the steps of:
• causing said portable terminal to transmit positional information and orientation information at a time of shooting by said shooting unit of said portable terminal to said information processing apparatus;
• causing said information processing apparatus to detect equipment included in an image shot by said shooting unit of said portable terminal, based on said positional information and orientation information transmitted from said portable terminal and the positional information included in said information about said equipment, and to transmit said information about said detected equipment to said portable terminal;
• causing said portable terminal to obtain an operation history on said image processing apparatus in said equipment, based on said information about said equipment transmitted from said information processing apparatus, and to allow said display unit to display an operation screen presenting said operation history in a selectable manner;
• when accepting a selection of said operation history, causing said portable terminal to transmit a control signal for allowing said image processing apparatus to execute image processing specified by said selected operation history, to said image processing apparatus;
• and
• executing corresponding image processing based on said signal in said image processing apparatus.

A portable terminal comprising:

• a shooting unit;
• an obtaining unit for obtaining positional information and orientation information of said portable terminal;
• a display unit;
• an input unit for inputting an instruction on an operation screen displayed on said display unit;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein said controller executes
• a process of transmitting positional information and orientation information at a time of shooting by said shooting unit to an information processing apparatus,
• a process of obtaining an operation history on an image processing apparatus in equipment based on information about equipment that is received from said information processing apparatus, and allowing said display unit to display an operation screen presenting said operation history in a selectable manner, and
• a process of accepting a selection of said operation history at said input unit and then transmitting a control signal for allowing said image processing apparatus to execute image processing specified by said selected operation history, to said image processing apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with a control program for causing a portable terminal to execute processing,

• said portable terminal including a shooting unit and a display unit,
• said control program causing said portable terminal to execute the steps of:
• transmitting positional information and orientation information at a time of shooting by said shooting unit to an information processing apparatus;
• obtaining an operation history on an image processing apparatus in equipment based on information about equipment that is received from said information processing apparatus, and displaying an operation screen presenting said operation history in a selectable manner on said display unit;
• and
• accepting a selection of said operation history and then transmitting a control signal for allowing said image processing apparatus to execute image processing specified by said selected operation history, to said image processing apparatus.
