Abstract:
Provided is an authentication apparatus easily realizing a one-time password system ensuring the security of a password without new equipment. The apparatus includes a user information registration processing circuit and a user authentication processing circuit. The user information registration processing circuit registers user identification information, reference identification information constituting a reference, and a selection sequenced identification indicator string having selection identification indicators selected from identification indicators and a sequence of these indicators for each user. The user authentication processing circuit executes a user authentication using a password determined by calculating the positions of the selection identification indicators of the selection sequenced identification indicator string from the position of an identification indicator of a random identification indicator string where the identification indicators are arranged at random that corresponds to the reference identification information into the sequence of the selection identification indicators and the user identification information.

The image forming apparatus includes an output setting circuit for performing output setting for adjusting an output of image data to a target output result by selection operation, an output operation circuit for performing output of image data by instruction operation so that a process corresponding to the output setting is performed, an association circuit for storing association information in which the output image data is associated with the output setting, a state determination circuit for determining whether or not the target output result can be obtained based on a current state of the apparatus, and a data deletion circuit for automatically deleting or selecting the deletion of the image data associated with the output setting based on the association information when it is determined that the target output result cannot be obtained.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus having a control circuit. The control circuit includes a standard application execution circuit, an apparatus control platform, and a standard application control circuit. The standard application execution circuit has the standard application execution service that executes a standard application. The apparatus control platform includes control service, apparatus control execution service, and an apparatus control management service. The control service controls hardware on an operating system. The apparatus control execution service executes the control service with an interface that is an executing procedure of the control service. The apparatus control management service instructs a call of the control service to the apparatus control execution service. The standard application control circuit manages a state of the standard application and provides an interface for using the hardware resources of the standard application execution service.
Abstract:
Provided is the image forming apparatus, image formation method, and recording medium, which make unnecessary a change of the function in the side of a whole apparatus control platform, when the addition (extension) of the function of application is needed. Image processing service I/F, device operation service I/F, and network communication service I/F of a platform service I/F part are independent, without cooperating, respectively. Then, image processing service, device operation service, and network communication service of each part controlling service are called. That is calling a control service providing part of each part controlling service corresponding to the request from the standard application, directly, by each control service call part.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming device includes a control circuit having (1) a device control platform managing a hardware resource on an operating system, (2) a standard application execution part executing a standard application utilizing the hardware resource under the control of the device control platform, (3) an extended application platform with a standard function service that allows for a utilization of a function of the standard application executed by the standard application execution part, and (4) an install service adding, without having to change a configuration of a standard firmware, an interface in order to cope with a function that is not available and allowing for utilization thereof.
Abstract:
A control unit makes a screen of a display unit display a plurality of pattern display areas to which a predetermined respective plurality of patterns are uniquely assigned at random as a pattern random array in the same layout as that of a plurality of input keys capable of inputting numerical values. The control unit determines a shortest path to go through a sequence of patterns serving as a password of a user in the pattern random array, and replaces a sequence of all patterns existing on the shortest path with a sequence of codes assigned to the respective plurality of input buttons according to a correspondence relationship between the plurality of input buttons and the plurality of pattern display areas to generate a one-time password. The control unit then compares the one-time password with a sequence of codes input by the user by using an input unit to perform authentication.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a display panel, a display condition setting unit that defines a specified display point in a specific screen as a display point of a one-time password for a specified user and sets a display condition for the one-time password, and a password display unit that displays, to the specified user, the one-time password at a display point included in the display condition based on the display condition set by the display condition setting unit when the specific screen is displayed in the display panel.
Abstract:
Provided is an image formation device with which expanded is easy and the development cost can be reduced. A device control platform manages hardware resource in an operating system. A standard application service interface unit provides an interface for utilizing a standard application function from outside of a standard application execution unit. A platform service interface unit provides an interface for utilizing hardware resource from the outside of the device control platform. A standard function service enables the use of the standard application functions corresponding to the standard application service interface unit. An expanded function service enables the use of the hardware resource corresponding to the platform service interface unit. An expanded application management unit manages and executes expanded applications capable of calling the standard function service and the expanded function service.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided which can insert a test-printed sheet on an arbitrary page into an intended page. The image forming apparatus includes a test print selection portion, an original document reading portion, a test print page specification portion, a test print portion, a sheet set member, a print instruction portion and a print portion, where from image data on the read original document, overall page information, information specifying the page on which the test print is performed and detection information indicating that the test print page is set in the sheet set member, based on the instruction from the print instruction portion, the print portion performs the print while inserting the test print page into the intended page.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a touch panel, an operation position detecting unit that detects an operation position, in a locked state, at which a touch operation has been made on the touch panel, an ear pinna determining unit that determines whether the touch operation has been made by a user's ear pinna, according to the detected operation position, and an ear pinna operation accepting unit that, if the touch operation is determined to have been made by the user's ear pinna, accepts an operation input made by the touch operation by the ear pinna.
