Abstract:
A consumables stock subtraction processing unit in a management apparatus calculates a counter value used in the determination of stock subtraction for a consumable product by using the value of a counter included in a residual amount notification acquired from an image formation apparatus. When the difference of the determination counter value calculated upon receipt of a previous residual amount notification and a determination counter value calculated upon receipt of a new residual amount notification is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, stock subtraction processing for the consumable is performed.
Abstract:
A device managing server is configured to generate, in the case of a device causing an error, device-unavailable information including the operation status of the device thereof, and a license information issuance server is configured to obtain the compensation worth of a license based on the device-unavailable information in the case of determining that the device cannot be used regarding which the user cannot be faulted.
Abstract:
A partial image to be displayed is extracted from an original image. The partial image is displayed along with information, such as a radar display, that indicates which part of the original image is being displayed.
Abstract:
A printing method in a system which receives a designated document from a print service server and prints the received document by a printer in order to print it from the state upon interruption by a simple operating instruction at the same or different base without re-inputting printed matter information, print setting information, and the like by the user. A print interrupting instruction is inputted from a first print control apparatus. Information indicative of an interrupting print position of the designated document is stored into a print interruption information storing unit of the print service server on the basis of the inputted print interrupting instruction. In accordance with a restarting request from a second print control apparatus, the designated document is obtained from a printed matter information storing unit or the like on the basis of the information indicative of the interrupting print position of the designated document. The printing is restarted by a second printing apparatus which is controlled by the second print control apparatus which can print.
Abstract:
To provide an image reading device capable of reading a high-quality image under the conditions such as compactness, simplification, and low power consumption, an image reading apparatus using this image reading device, and a method therefor, white reference data for white level correction is stored in a memory in correspondence with a reference temperature. A temperature near the image reading device is detected, and white reference data is corrected on the basis of the temperature difference between the detected temperature and the reference temperature. The corrected white reference data is used in white level correction of an image signal output from a CCD included in the image reading device.

Abstract:
Upon receiving a request from a communications terminal, a server apparatus performs some processes and returns processing results to the communications terminal. Before returning the processing results, the server apparatus sends the communications terminal a response containing an address needed to acquire the processing results to prevent communications from being cut off due to a communications timeout which occurs, for example, if the processing on the server takes time.
Abstract:
As an apparatus which provides a high-quality service that reduces the service usage load of users, there is disclosed an information processing apparatus accessed from a communication terminal to browse images, which includes an issuing unit that assigns a session identification to a communication terminal, a storage unit that stores the session identification and the communication terminal user's personal information, a receiving unit that receives a session identification and a printing request of images, a determination unit that determines if the session identification is stored in the storage unit, a transmission unit that transmits the personal information to the communication terminal if the determination unit determines that the session identification is stored with the personal information in the storage unit, and an obtaining unit that obtains the user's personal information if the determination unit determines that the session identification is not stored in the storage unit.

Abstract:
A management apparatus capable of setting a suitable schedule for transmitting operation information to a plurality of image forming apparatuses, in which a management load and an operation status of a user are fully considered, identifies a plurality of image forming apparatuses which include overlapping department ID and manages the plurality of identified image forming apparatuses in a group when the plurality of identified image forming apparatuses is less than a predetermined maximum value. The management apparatus determines a transmission schedule for each of a plurality of the managed groups so that department counter information is transmitted from the image forming apparatuses belonging to each group at intervals of at least a first time period.
