Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and program product

An information processing apparatus includes two communication units having different communication areas from one another and a processing unit. When a mobile terminal is within the communication area of a first communication unit, the first communication unit receives setting information for establishing communication between the mobile terminal and a second communication unit, and function information indicating a function for processing substantial information including a document and/or an image to be communicated by the second communication unit. The second communication unit establishes communication with the mobile terminal based on the setting information received by the first communication unit, and communicates the substantial information to the mobile terminal. The processing unit processes the substantial information with the function corresponding to the function information received by the first communication unit.
