    Abstract: A remote communication system according to one aspect of the disclosure includes an image forming apparatus, an electronic device, a session relay system, and a session management unit. When a start of a test for a communication state via the session is requested by the electronic device, the session management unit requests the session relay system for a first test ID as the first session ID and a second test ID as the second session ID. When the session is relayed by the session relay system by associating the connection established between the electronic device and the session relay system with the connection established between the image forming apparatus and the session relay system using the first test ID and the second test ID, the image forming apparatus executes the test for the communication state with the electronic device via the relayed session.

    Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus that can establish secure wireless direct connection with a terminal. A connection information transmitting part transmits connection information of wireless direct connection to a terminal by short-range wireless connection. A connection changing information generating part generates different connection changing information from connection information and transmits to the terminal in which the wireless direct connection has been established by the connection information transmitted by the connection information transmitting part. A connection changing part changes into the connection changing information transmitted by the connection changing information generating part and performs wireless direct connection with the terminal. In the result, secure wireless direct connection is enabled.

    Abstract: A reservation management unit 24 acquires a joblog of a job that has been performed in a predetermined period, extracts as a specific job among jobs recorded in the joblog a job that the user is not a user having a predetermined relationship with the reservation user, derives a reservation timing on the basis of a time-wise distribution of the performing time point of the specific job, and performs a reservation of a print job of the reservation user to be performed at the derived reservation timing. Here, the user having a predetermined relationship with the reservation user is a user who belongs to a user group to which the reservation user belongs and the user group is a user group of users who work physically contiguously to each other.

    Abstract: Each of plural image forming apparatuses 2-1 to 2-N transmits a beacon signal including a device ID. Each of plural user terminal apparatuses 1-1 to 1-M determines a user ID of a user 101-i who currently uses it, receives the beacon signal transmitted from an image forming apparatus 2-j, and transmits to a mapping processing apparatus mapping information that associates the user ID and the device ID in the received beacon signal. Further, the mapping processing apparatus receives the mapping information on each user, determines a user associated by the mapping information with each image forming apparatus 2-j among the plural image forming apparatuses 2-1 to 2-M, and generates map data in which the determined user is associated with each image forming apparatus 2-j.

    Abstract: Provided is the image forming apparatus that is implemented guidance mode. A connecting part connects with a terminal for remote maintenance in a session of a specific protocol. An operation acquiring part acquires operational information corresponding to operation of the terminal connected by the connecting part. A mode changing part is changed into a normal control mode and guidance mode by the operational information acquired by the operation acquiring part. The normal control mode is a mode that actually-controls each part. Also, guidance mode is the mode that controls each part for guidance. An operation control part controls each part by operational information corresponding to the mode changed by the mode changing part.
