Abstract: A license management server manages a license to perform a service of remote maintenance related to one or more image forming apparatuses installed in a customer's site. The maintenance server includes a maintenance unit and a history management unit. If the license management server notified of expiration of an expiration date of the license defined by a contract, the maintenance unit stores history information acquired from the one or more image forming apparatuses corresponding to the expired license into a storage unit, and stops the service. If the license management server notified of grant of the license by a re-contract, the history management unit obtains the history information about the one or more image forming apparatuses corresponding to the granted license from the storage unit, and passes the obtained history information to the maintenance unit. By using the passed history information, the maintenance unit resumes the service.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that efficiently executes a series of tasks related to reading a document. An information processing system includes an upstream server, image forming apparatuses and a regional server. An apparatus-information-acquiring unit of the upstream server acquires apparatus information from plural image forming apparatuses. A task-sharing unit shares the respective tasks of a series of tasks for document data that is read by a specified image forming apparatus, based on a storage unit that is an apparatus-information-storage unit that stores an ID, position information that indicates a position in a network, and performance information for that image forming apparatuses that is included in the apparatus information. The task-sharing unit, in accordance with the ID and performance information of plural image forming apparatuses, determines and shares tasks so as to be executed by image forming apparatuses that are at nearby positions in the network.

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 a setting management system for managing the change status of setting information in an image forming apparatus during operation. Multiple image forming apparatuses start operating based on the same setting information in which operation setting values transmitted from a management server are reflected. Each of the image forming apparatuses receives changes in the setting information by multiple setting-receiving units during operation. In each of the setting-receiving units, a change-detecting unit detects that the setting information is changed. The setting-change status of setting information is correlated with the setting-receiving unit and transmitted by a change-status-transmitting unit. The management server receives the setting-change status from an image forming apparatus by a server-communication unit. As a result, a setting-management unit collectively manages histories of the setting changes of multiple image forming apparatuses based on the received setting-change status and the operation setting values.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of calling functions of a plurality of servers without having to perform authentication every time. An authentication-executing unit, in the case where a function requires authentication in one of the plurality of servers, performs authentication with that server. An integrated-arrangement unit arranges in one application instruction areas that acquire instructions for calling the functions to any one of the plurality of the servers, and further, arranges the instruction areas in which a plurality of the functions that are similar and that require authentication by the authentication-executing unit and/or a plurality of the functions that are to be authenticated in the same server are organized as a folder. An authentication-state-changing unit controls the authentication state in correlation with any one of the folder organized by the integrated-arrangement unit, the application, and the function.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus capable of appropriately deleting a user that does not consent to policy or the like. A user-notifying unit performs a notification for requiring consent from a user registered in a user DB. A response-acquiring unit acquires response information of the user. A re-notification-transmitting unit, when consent response information is not acquired, separately transmits a re-notification to the user. The re-notification includes transmission information for transmitting consent or non-consent re-response information. A re-response-acquiring unit acquires the re-response information corresponding to the transmission information in the re-notification. A user-deleting unit deletes the user from the user DB when the re-response information is not consent.
