Image-processing system and image-processing method

An image-processing method for an image-processing apparatus comprising a peripheral apparatus, a server and a mobile device, the peripheral apparatus functioning as at least one of a printer, a fax machine and a scanner, the method comprising:

• the peripheral apparatus sending a registration request to register communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with a piece of identification information at the server and providing the piece of identification information to one of a user and a mobile device;
• the server receiving the registration request and registering the communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with the piece of identification information;
• the mobile device receiving the piece of identification information provided by the peripheral apparatus and sending a request to the server with the received piece of identification information in order to register the communication parameters of the mobile device in association with the piece of identification information;
• and
• the server associating the registered details of the peripheral apparatus with the request from the mobile device thereby allowing a connection to be configured between the mobile device and the peripheral apparatus,
• wherein:
• the piece of identification information is a code,
• the peripheral apparatus is configured to provide the code to a user, and
• the mobile device is configured to receive the identification information by entry of the code into the mobile device by the user.

One or more non-transitory storage media storing a suite of programs that, when executed on an image-processing system, causes the image-processing system to perform a method for an image-processing system comprising a peripheral apparatus, a server and a mobile device, the peripheral apparatus functioning as at least one of a printer, a fax machine, and a scanner, the method comprising:

• the peripheral apparatus sending a registration request to register communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with a piece of identification information at the server and providing the piece of identification information to one of a user and a mobile device;
• the server receiving the registration request and registering the communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with the piece of identification information;
• the mobile device receiving the piece of identification information provided by the peripheral apparatus and sending a request to the server with the received piece of identification information in order to register the communication parameters of the mobile device in association with the piece of identification information;
• and
• the server associating the registered details of the peripheral apparatus with the request from the mobile device thereby allowing a connection to be configured between the mobile device and the peripheral apparatus, wherein:
• the piece of identification information is a code,
• the peripheral apparatus is configured to provide the code to a user, and
• the mobile device is configured to receive the identification information by entry of the code into the mobile device by the user.

An image-processing system comprising:

• a peripheral apparatus that functions as at least one of a printer, a fax machine and a scanner, the peripheral apparatus comprising means for sending a registration request to register communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with a piece of identification information and configured to provide the piece of identification information to one of a user and a mobile device;
• a server comprising means for receiving the registration request from the peripheral apparatus and means for registering the communication parameters of the peripheral apparatus in association with the piece of identification information;
• and
• a mobile device comprising means for receiving the piece of identification information provided by the peripheral apparatus and means for sending a request to the server with the received piece of identification information in order to register the communication parameters of the mobile device in association with the piece of identification information,
• wherein the server is configured to associate the registered details of the peripheral apparatus with the request from the mobile device thereby allowing a connection to be configured between the mobile device and the peripheral apparatus, wherein:
• the piece of identification information is a code,
• the peripheral apparatus is configured to provide the code to a user, and
• the mobile device is configured to receive the identification information by entry of the code into the mobile device by the user.
