Abstract:
A communication system includes a plurality of devices, a plurality of communication relay apparatuses, and a management server. If the management server that has received from a cloud server a request to access a specific device has no communication session with a specific communication relay apparatus that has control over the specific device, the management server transmits a tunnel connection request to a substitute apparatus (another communication relay apparatus different from the specific communication relay apparatus) via a communication session between the substitute apparatus and the management server. The substitute apparatus transfers the tunnel connection request to the specific communication relay apparatus and causes the specific communication relay apparatus to return from a power saving mode. The specific communication relay apparatus then establishes tunnel communication with the cloud server on the basis of the tunnel connection request to relay communication between the cloud server and the specific device.

Abstract:
A management server disposed outside a firewall and supporting connection of communications between a control target device disposed inside the firewall and a cloud server disposed outside the firewall, includes a server-side session establishing portion to, based on a request from a relay device disposed inside the firewall, establish a session with the relay device, a device information acquiring portion to acquire device information about the control target device from the relay device via the established session, and an update determining portion to, in response to reception of a request of connecting to the control target device from the cloud server, determine whether to update the device information. The device information acquiring portion includes an upon-session-establishment acquiring portion to acquire the device information when a session with the relay device is established, and an upon-session-request acquiring portion to acquire the device information after updating the device information is determined.
Abstract:
An image processing system includes: an image processing apparatus that has a virus scan function; a terminal; and an information processing apparatus that has a virus scan function, the image processing apparatus, the terminal, and the information processing apparatus communicating with each other, wherein the image processing apparatus includes: a first hardware processor that: transmits to the terminal information identifying the image processing apparatus and a virus scan substitute request for the job data for executing a virus scan in the information processing apparatus; and causes returning from the power saving state to the normal state, and the information processing apparatus includes: a second hardware processor that: performs the virus scan on the job data; and transmits, to the image processing apparatus, the execution instruction for the job related to the job data with the predetermined information added.
Abstract:
A document generation system which generates, from a first document in which a plurality of text groups constituted by a plurality of lines arranged in a first direction is arranged in a second direction different from the first direction, a second document includes: a ranking unit configured to rank each of the plurality of text groups according to an order in which a person reads the first document; and a generating unit configured to generate, as the second document, a document in which each of the plurality of text groups is arranged one by one in the first direction in ascending order ranked by the ranking unit.
Abstract:
An image processing system includes: a server apparatus connected to a first network; an image processing apparatus connected to a second network; and a gateway apparatus, wherein the server apparatus includes: a transmitting unit configured to transmit job data of a job by the first communication protocol, the image processing apparatus being made to execute the job; and an adding unit configured to add content information to the job data, the content information indicating contents of the job, and the gateway apparatus includes: an analyzing unit; a determining unit; and an executing unit.
Abstract:
A relay device includes a first session establishing portion to establish a first communication session with a cloud server located outside a firewall, a second session establishing portion to establish a second communication session with a control target device located inside the firewall, a device information acquiring portion to acquire device information about the control target device, and a relay portion to relay a communication between the cloud server and the control target device. The relay portion includes an executability determining portion to determine whether the control target device can execute a process specified by a control command received from the cloud server, a suspending portion to suspend an output of the control command when the determination result is non-executable, and a proxy transmission portion operable, when the determination result becomes executable after the control command was put on hold, to transmit the control command to the control target device.
Abstract:
An MFP sets an access condition for an external device with respect to a cloud box. The access condition is transmitted from the MFP to a relay device, and is registered in a memory of the relay device. When the relay device receives an access request made by the external device with respect to the MFP serving as an internal device, the relay device determines whether to permit or deny access to the MFP by comparing the access request with the access condition. When the access is permitted, the access request is transferred from the relay device to the MFP, whereas when the access is denied, the relay device notifies the external device of it.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus having a light emitter and an information terminal performing visible light communication and normal communication with the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a visible light output unit outputting information stored in the image forming apparatus through visible light communication using the light emitter, and an output control unit controlling operation of the visible light output unit. The information terminal includes a light receiver, and an information acquisition unit acquiring visible light communication information based on information obtained by receiving visible light with the light receiver. The information acquisition unit gives a light emission communication start request to the output control unit through the normal communication with the image forming apparatus. When the light emission communication start request is received and the visible light output unit is stopping outputting information, the output control unit allows output of information.
