Abstract:
The image forming apparatus is an authorization device that gives authority to use of the image forming apparatus. To the host user, the authority to use of the image forming apparatus is given. The image forming apparatus evaluates depth of a relationship between a host user and a guest user different from the host user, on a service used by a plurality of users. Based on the evaluation results, the image forming apparatus gives the authority to use of the image forming apparatus to the guest user. This makes it possible to provide an authorization device capable of improving convenience while securing security.
Abstract:
A workflow executing device executes the steps of: specifying a workflow; executing processes defined by the specified workflow; specifying an external process to be processed by a first external device from among the processes; specifying a device that stores account information requested by the first external device as a second external device in order to allow the first external device to execute the external process; generating a sub-workflow that defines a login process of logging into the first external device, a request process of allowing the first external device to execute the external process, and an execution result output process of transmitting the execution result to the workflow executing device; and changing the external process in the workflow to a workflow transmitting process of transmitting the sub-workflow to the second external device and an execution result receiving process of receiving the execution result from the second external device.
Abstract:
A communication device includes a hardware processor that: acquires error history information including a communication condition at a time when an error has occurred in past data communication between the communication device and an external device group and type information of the error in the past data communication; compares, in new data communication between the communication device and one external device, a first communication condition with a second communication condition; starts acquisition processing of a communication packet group related to the new data communication on condition that contents of both of the communication conditions with respect to at least one predetermined item are determined to be the same; and stores the communication packet group in a predetermined storage on condition that an error of a type same as an error type of the one error included in the error history information has occurred in the new data communication.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for a public key cryptography-based system using an IC card comprises: a job execution portion that executes a job given by a user; an IC card reader that accesses the IC card; a first calculator that estimates the number of IC card processes when the job execution portion executes the job, the IC card processes to be performed in the job, the IC card processes requiring the IC card reader to access the IC card; and a notification portion that provides to the user a notification that more than one IC card process is to be performed if the estimation by the first calculator results in more than one IC card process.
Abstract:
A terminal device performs communication with a MFP (Multifunction Peripheral), and each of cloud servers. Terminal device executes transmitting and receiving process for image data with the MFP and the cloud servers via a cooperation application program. The terminal device switches a working application in the terminal device to another application, during the transmitting and receiving process via the cooperation application program. In this instance, the terminal device suspends the transmitting and receiving process. The terminal device executes transmitting and receiving process via the another application for a part of the image data for which the transmitting and receiving process is not executed.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprises: an accepting portion that accepts a request for a temporary use permission to use a function of the image processing apparatus from a second portable terminal apparatus in place of a first portable terminal apparatus having a proper use permission to use the function, an obtaining portion that obtains application information of an application installed on the second portable terminal apparatus; a determining portion that determines a scope of the temporary use permission with reference to reference data stored on a management apparatus and on the basis of the application information; a judgment portion that judges whether or not the requested process falls within the determined scope when a request for a process requiring the function is received from or transferred to the second portable terminal apparatus; and an executor portion that executes the requested process if it falls within the determined scope.
Abstract:
A processor of an MFP generates a first additional image based on an image in a designated region of a document. Furthermore, the processor of the MFP generates a second additional image showing a difference between the document and a document before revision of the document. Then, the processor of the MFP registers the first additional image and the second additional image on a server in association with a marker image showing the revised edition number of the document.
Abstract:
An image processing system includes an image processing apparatus and a portable terminal apparatus. The image processing apparatus includes: a first USB connector; and a command transmitter that transmits a file manipulation command. The portable terminal apparatus includes: a second USB connector; a detector that detects that the portable terminal apparatus is connected to the first USB connector via the second USB connector; a memory being capable of storing a plurality of first folders; a register that registers address information of a Web service, the Web service being combined with at least one first folder stored on the memory; a mounting portion that accesses the Web service and mounts at least one second folder of the Web service onto the at least one first folder; and a controller that obtains a file from the Web service to transfer to the image processing apparatus upon the file manipulation command being received.
Abstract:
An image processing device capable of communicating with an information processing terminal and a cloud server. The image processing device comprises a communication controller to communicate with the information processing terminal, a server connecting unit to make connection to the cloud server based on connection information received from the information processing terminal and acquire an operational screen about a job from the cloud server, a remote screen generating unit to generate a remote screen based on the operational screen acquired by the server connecting unit and transmit the remote screen to the information processing terminal, the remote screen being used for remote control from the information processing terminal, and a job controller, if operational information received by the communication controller is an order made on the remote screen to execute a job, the job controller executing the job in cooperation with the cloud server.
Abstract:
An information processing system has a portable information terminal and an information processing device that allow communication therebetween. The portable information terminal includes: a first application executing part for acquiring screen information indicating a screen with which a user makes remote operation from the information processing device and displaying the screen; and an informing part for sending access information as to a destination being accessed by a second application executing part to the information processing device when an application detecting part detects that both of the first and second application executing parts are running. The information processing device includes: a screen creating part for creating the screen based on the access information; and a transmitting part for sending the screen information created by the screen creating part to the portable information terminal. The first application executing part displays the screen based on the screen information received from the transmitting part.
