    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes extended services that are an extended function service and a backend service, and an extended service manager that manages the extended function service and the backend service. Each extended service provides an extension application with a function other than standard functions of the image forming apparatus, without using a standard application that realizes the standard functions of the image forming apparatus. The extension application is an application that realizes the function other than the standard functions of the image forming apparatus. The standard application is a copy application, a printer application, a facsimile application, or a transmission application.

    Abstract: Provided is a user authentication system that suppresses an increase in operation costs. A portable terminal performs short-range wireless communication by a communication control unit, performs biometric authentication of a user by a biometric authenticating unit, and by a system control unit instructs a communication control unit to transmit login request information including user identification information when biometric authentication by the biometric authenticating unit is successful. An MFP performs short-range wireless communication by a communication control unit, and by a system control unit permits a user indicated by the user identification information included in the login request information to login after receiving the login request information. As a result, indirect biometric authentication becomes possible by using the authentication result of biometric authentication by a portable terminal without addition of a biometric authenticating unit, update of firmware, data registration of biometric information called a template, and the like.
