摘要:
A document file is configured to restrict, without a costly special-purpose terminal or the like, use of document data contained therein, if the document data is taken out of a predetermined location. A document file contains (i) electronic document data, (ii) usage location information indicating one or more usage locations in which use of the electronic document data is less restricted, and (ii) a data management program that causes, when a user requests use of the electronic document data, a computer to request for user location information indicating the current location of the user. Under control of the data management program, use of the electronic document data is permitted within a first usage pattern, if the user location is included in the usage locations. If not, use of the electronic document data is prohibited or permitted within a second usage pattern which is more restricted than the first usage pattern.

A printed material is read to provide an image data thereof. The printed material includes an image of an original, and an additional image not recognized or hard to be recognized with naked eyes. The additional image is to be visualized when an image is formed based on the image data with an image forming apparatus. Further, the printed material includes and a code which represents information. When the code is detected in the image data, a stamp image is synthesized with the image data based on the detected code. Then, the image data synthesized with the stamp image is provided. For example, an image is printed based on the image data.

In an image processing apparatus connected to an external apparatus through a network, a user interface is displayed in a display device on documents. A user's instruction is received in the user interface to operate a document stored in the external apparatus and/or in the image processing apparatus. An operation history of documents stored in the external apparatus is obtained. Then; data on the documents displayed in the user interface is controlled based on the obtained operation history.

An information processing system capable of storing image files formed by an image forming apparatus in a desired storage position in a desired information processing terminal through simple operations. The system has an information processing terminal and an image forming apparatus that are connected so as to permit data to be transmitted and received therebetween. The information processing terminal includes a display controller that causes an icon corresponding to a data file to be stored in a prescribed storage destination displayed on a display device, an input unit that receives the selection of said icon by the user and an instruction to incorporate as a data file corresponding to the selected icon an image file formed by said image forming apparatus, and a transmission unit that, in accordance with the instruction received by said input unit to incorporate said image file, sends to said image forming apparatus information that includes at least the identification information by which to identify the storage destination for said image file, the file name for the data file corresponding to the selected icon and the storage position information that indicates the storage position on said storage destination in which said data file is to be stored. The image forming apparatus includes a registration unit that registers settings information that includes at least the identification information by which to identify the storage destination for said image file, the storage position information that indicates the storage position in said storage destination, and the file name for said image file, and a display controller that causes a selection key for said settings information registered by said registration unit on a display device, wherein the display controller creates a new selection key for said settings information to be displayed on said display device when the new settings information is registered by said registration unit, based on said information sent from said information processing terminal.

An image forming apparatus includes a printer section for printing an image on a sheet and a finisher having a plurality of mail bins. The image forming apparatus discharges print, which is addressed to a specified user and outputted from the printer section, onto the mail bin assigned to the user among the plurality of mail bins, facilitating mail bin assignment to allow labor of network management to be saved. There is provided a card reading device for reading an ID card for identifying a user. There is also provided assigning means that identifies the user from information read by the card reading device when the ID card is inserted into the card reading device and that assigns a mail bin to the user when no mail bin has been assigned to the user.
摘要:
In an image processing apparatus, a predetermined processing is performed in response to occurrence of an abnormal condition that an image forming job cannot be executed. A first processing is preset for the apparatus as a common processing to respond to the abnormal condition. A second processing is set for the image forming job as a processing to respond to the abnormal condition. Either the first processing or the second processing is selected according to priorities assigned thereto. The selected processing is performed in response to occurrence of the abnormal condition when the abnormal condition occurs. The processing to handle the abnormal condition can flexibly be selected from among a plurality of processings according to the environment in which the printer system is placed.

An image forming system includes an input control part and a display control part. The input control part receives an operation input from a user. The display control part selectively displays a setting screen for mode setting and a job list screen displaying a list of jobs. In more detail, the display control part displays the job list screen on the display part when a first instruction which is a display instruction for the job list screen is received during a setting operation period for mode setting. Further, the display control part hides the job list screen and displays an information display screen relating to an operation which is performed during the setting operation period, on the display part, when a second instruction which is a non-display instruction for the job list screen is received while the job list screen is being displayed.

An image processing apparatus that can provide an online support service is provided. The image processing apparatus includes a user operation data retaining section for retaining user operation data in which contents of user's operation performed by a user is recorded, an input section having a help key for instructing start of execution of an online support function, and a support data retaining section for retaining information about a support connecting destination to be connected in the online support. When recognizing pressing of the help key, the image processing apparatus refers to the user operation data so as to gain at least a part of the contents of the operation performed until a time point of the pressing, selects the support connecting destination according to the gained user operation contents with reference to the support data retaining section so as to request connection of communication with the selected support connecting destination.
