Abstract:
1. An information processing system comprising: a portable terminal device including a first communicating unit and a second communicating unit that have different communication ranges; and an information processing apparatus including a third communicating unit with a communication method same as a communication method of the first communicating unit and a fourth communicating unit with a communication method same as a communication method of the second communicating unit, wherein the portable terminal device and the information processing apparatus communicates with each other using the first communicating unit and the third communicating unit through a non-contact communication, and using the second communicating unit and the fourth communicating unit through a non-contact communication, when the portable terminal device is present in a communication area of the information processing apparatus, the first communicating unit transmits (a) communication setting information and (b) processing setting information for setting processing content on substance information containing a document or an image to be received or transmitted by the second communicating unit to the information processing apparatus through the non-contact communication, to establish a communication between the second communicating unit and the fourth communicating unit, and the second communicating unit establishes a communication with the information processing apparatus, and transmits to or receives from the information processing apparatus the substance information through the non-contact communication, wherein the portable terminal device further includes wherein in a case that the communication determining unit determines according to the attribute of the substance information determined by the attribute determining unit that a communication by the first communicating unit is possible, the first communicating unit transmits the substance information, and in a case that the communication determining unit determines according to the attribute of the substance information that a communication by the first communicating unit is not possible, the second communicating unit transmits the substance information, wherein when the communication determining unit determines that a communication by the first communicating unit is not possible, the second communicating unit transmits the processing setting information based on the input transmission instruction, and wherein when the portable terminal device is present in the communication area of the information processing apparatus, the third communicating unit receives the communication setting information and the processing setting information from the portable terminal device through the non-contact communication, and when the portable terminal device is not present in the communication area of the information processing apparatus, the fourth communicating unit receives from or transmits to the portable terminal device the communication setting information and the processing setting information through the non-contact communication, and wherein the information processing apparatus further includes
