Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for processing image files. For example, an IP interface for image-file remote connections is searched for on a Local Area Network (LAN) based on at least information associated with one or more predetermined search operations on a user interface for image-file control; an image file is extracted using the IP interface for image-file remote connections; and the extracted image file is processed based on at least information associated with a click operation detected on a control-program interface provided by the user interface.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the searching for an IP interface for image-file remote connections on a Local Area Network (LAN) based on at least information associated with one or more predetermined search operations on a user interface for image-file control includes:

upon detecting one or more predetermined start-search operations on the user interface for image-file control, searching automatically for the IP interface for image-file remote connections on the LAN based on at least information associated with a zero-configuration networking technology to access to one or more remote connections associated with the image file corresponding to an address of the IP interface;

or

upon detecting an entry of a target IP interface address in an input box on the user interface for image-file control, or the entry of the target IP interface address plus an entry of access instructions, searching for the IP interface for image-file remote connections corresponding to the target IP interface address on the LAN to access to one or more remote connections associated with the image file corresponding to the target IP interface address.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the searching for an IP interface for image-file remote connections on a Local Area Network (LAN) based on at least information associated with one or more predetermined search operations on a user interface for image-file control includes:

upon detecting one or more predetermined refresh-search operations on the user interface for image-file control, reconnecting to a remote connection associated with the image file corresponding to the IP interface.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the searching for an IP interface for image-file remote connections on a Local Area Network (LAN) based on at least information associated with one or more predetermined search operations on a user interface for image-file control includes:

upon detecting one or more predetermined start-search operations on the user interface for image-file control, searching automatically for the IP interface for image-file remote connections on the LAN based on at least information associated with a zero-configuration networking technology to access to one or more remote connections associated with the image file corresponding to an address of the IP interface; and

upon detecting an entry of a target IP interface address in an input box on the user interface for image-file control, or the entry of the target IP interface address plus an entry of access instructions, searching for the IP interface for image-file remote connections corresponding to the target IP interface address on the LAN to access to one or more remote connections associated with the image file corresponding to the target IP interface address.
