Abstract:
Provided is a document-management server that controls the amount of change notifications sent to an administrator of an image-processing server in the case where metadata necessary for system cooperation is changed. The image-processing server acquires an attribute of specific metadata from document data and transmits the attribute together with the document data. The document-management server manages the document data based on the attribute of the specific metadata transmitted from the image-processing server. A metadata-setting-receiving unit receives a change in the specific metadata. A notification-priority-adding unit adds a notification priority to the specific metadata for which a change is received by the metadata-setting-receiving unit. A change-notifying unit creates a change notification for informing that the specific metadata has been changed, and transmits the created change notification to an administrator of the image-processing server at a transmission timing based on the notification priority.
Abstract:
Provided is an information processing apparatus that calls functions of a plurality of servers without performing authentication every time. An image forming apparatus of an information processing system is an information processing apparatus capable of calling functions of a plurality of servers. An integrated-arrangement unit arranges instruction areas in one application for acquiring instructions for calling functions from any one of a plurality of servers. An authentication-executing unit, in the case where authentication is required for a server corresponding to the instruction areas arranged by the integrated-arrangement unit, performs authentication with that server. An authentication-state-changing unit controls the authentication state authenticated by the authentication-executing unit in correlation with the application and/or the function.
Abstract:
Provided is a document management system for managing document data by applying access restrictions to each metadata acquired by character recognition of document data to be managed. The mage forming apparatus acquires document data to be managed. The image-processing server performs character recognition of document data and acquires metadata. The image forming apparatus specifies metadata to be concealed in document data. The image forming apparatus receives a security setting, correlates a metadata name to be concealed with the security setting, and transmits the security setting together with document data to the image-processing server. The document-management server, in the case where there is an access request from a user for document data, allows access to the document data based on the security setting by not masking metadata for which there is access authority, and masking metadata for which there is no access authority.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an exit tray, an image forming section, a user identification section, a printed sheet receipt managing section, and a fetch sensor. The image forming section performs a printing operation based on a print instruction issued from a user. The fetch sensor is capable of detecting that a printed sheet has been fetched from the exit tray. The user identification section identifies a print requester corresponding to a user having issued a print instruction, and a fetcher corresponding to a user fetching the printed sheet from the exit tray. If the printed sheet is fetched from the exit tray and the fetcher is different from the print requester, the printed sheet receipt managing section sends, to a computer of the user, a notice of printed sheet taken away notifying that the printed sheet has been taken away.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a control circuit. The apparatus control platform where the control circuit manages the hardware resources on an operating system. The standard-application executing part executes the standard application using the managed hardware resources. The extended application platform makes the function of the standard application executed use, and makes the hardware resources use, and it has a standard application service interface part that provides the common interface corresponding to the function of the standard application as an interface for using the function of the standard application. The standard function service searches presence or absence of the standard application, and when the standard application does not present, cancels use of the standard function service from the extended application.
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 peripheral apparatus comprises: a power saving state shift notification signal transmission unit that transmits a power saving state shift notification signal to the terminal at a time of shifting to a power saving state; a notification response signal reception unit that receives a notification response signal from the terminal that is set as an output target for image forming and responds, only while in an operation state, to the power saving state shift notification signal transmitted from the power saving state shift notification signal transmission unit; and a power saving state shift control unit that stops a shift to the power saving state in a case of receiving the notification response signal by means of the notification response signal reception unit and executes the shift to the power saving state in a case of not-receiving the notification response signal.
