Abstract:
A server device is connected with a plurality of electronic devices in a communicable manner and configures a setting for a desired electronic device out of the plurality of electronic devices. The server device includes a device location management section and a setting determination section. The device location management section acquires location information representing current locations of the electronic devices. The setting determination section refers to settings for other electronic devices, out of the plurality of electronic devices, located at a short distance from the current location of the desired electronic device to determine the setting for the desired electronic device.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an operation panel, a printing device, a storage device, a job management unit, a power-saving mode setting unit, and an operation mode control unit. The power-saving mode setting unit that: (a) specifies the job log where the start time point of the job execution belongs to an identical time slot in a past for a predetermined time slot; and (b1) sets the power-saving mode for the predetermined time slot to the first power-saving mode when a proportion of the number of the executing jobs where the job types of the specified job log belong to the first job type group to the number of the executing jobs where the job types of the specified job log belong to the first job type group or the second job type group exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus has: a data communication portion for communicating with a first image forming apparatus holding an authentic prime key within the same local network, and a second image forming apparatus within the same local network; a storage portion for storing a key generation program for issuing an activation key based on the prime key; and a control portion for acquiring the prime key from the first image forming apparatus on receiving an activation request from the second image forming apparatus, generating the activation key for use on the second image forming apparatus, and transmitting the activation key to the second image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit for storing a primary key issued by an activation key issuing system and storing a key issuing program, a reception unit for receiving an instruction to issue an activation key that can be used in another image forming apparatus in a local network, a control unit configured to generate the activation key that can be used in the another image forming apparatus on the basis of the primary key and the key issuing program, and a printing unit configured to print generated key information to be input to the another image forming apparatus when using the activation key generated by the control unit in the another image forming apparatus on a sheet to output the sheet.
Abstract:
An operation device includes a screen display section that displays a login screen on a touch panel, a key position changing section, a key information reception section, and a key information determination section. The key position changing section changes positions of a plurality of keys that are displayed on the login screen such that the keys are displayed for a current login process at positions that are different from previous positions at which the keys were displayed for a previous login process. The key information reception section generates input information representing a key pressed on the login screen. The key information determination section allows login of a user when a combination of pieces of input information corresponding to a plurality of key presses performed by the user matches registration information and does not allow login of the user when the combination does not match registration information.

Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes: an input module configured to input an export instruction and an electronic apparatus identifier, the export instruction instructing to export an application, the electronic apparatus identifier corresponding to one different electronic apparatus; a controller module configured to generate an activation key on a basis of the electronic apparatus identifier where the export instruction is input, the activation key being for activating the application only in the one different electronic apparatus, control to output a package file including the application and the activation key, and inactivate the application after a certain replacement transition time period passes, the certain replacement transition time period starting from an output time point of the package file; and an output module configured to output the package file controlled by the controller module.
Abstract:
A storage device stores, for each of one or more function expansion applications, the hardware component necessary for operation of the function expansion application. A control circuit is configured to detect that there is a failure in any of the plurality of hardware components, determine whether or not there is the function expansion application that needs, for operation thereof, the hardware component from which a failure has been detected, and perform control so that an operation mode is switched to a first degeneracy mode in which the detected hardware component is not used where there is no function expansion application that needs the detected hardware component, and the other hardware components are used.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a recording medium that stores a log application for storing a log of changes of an internal state in the electronic device and changes of an API call as a calling of the API by the application. The changes of the internal state and the changes of the API call are classified in a plurality of categories. The log application causes the electronic device to achieve a log storage unit. The log storage unit stores the changes of the internal state and the changes of the API call as the log. The changes of the internal state and the changes of the API call are notified by the change notification unit. The log storage unit stores the changes of the internal state and the changes of the API call of only one category among the plurality of categories as the log.
