Abstract:
One information processing apparatus among a plurality of information processing apparatuses performs virus detection processing for detecting a computer virus. When a computer virus has been detected from the one information processing apparatus by the virus detection processing, the one information processing apparatus transmits an execution request to perform the virus detection processing to another information processing apparatus different from the one information processing apparatus among the plurality of information processing apparatuses.
Abstract:
A multifunction device integrally includes a first device and a second device. The first device has a first system, and the second system has a second system. The second device requests, in response to a predetermined command entered, a first snapshot of the first device from the first device. The first device generates the first snapshot in response to a request from the second device, and sends the first snapshot to the second device. The second device generates a second snapshot of the second device in response to the predetermined command entered, and saves, to a save destination, the first snapshot sent and the second snapshot. The first device starts the first system by using the first snapshot saved in the save destination. The second device starts the second system by using the second snapshot saved in the save destination.
Abstract:
A communication device includes a main controller and a second controller that responds, independently of the main controller, to received data based on a proxy program. The communication device also includes a storage that stores, every time data is received, a combination of attributes of the data and details of a response to the data made by the main controller. The communication device also includes a generating circuit that determines at least one pattern with which a response, independently of the main controller, is possible based on a plurality of combinations stored in the storage to generate the proxy program based on the pattern determined. The communication device also includes an applying circuit that applies the proxy program generated by the generating circuit to the second controller.
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 processing system includes: an application server located in the Internet; an image processing apparatus located in a local network connected to the Internet via a firewall; a relay server configured to relay communication between the image processing apparatus and the application server, the relay server being located in the local network; and a connection mediation server configured to transmit, to the relay server, a request for a connection to the application server, the connection mediation server being located in the Internet, wherein the connection mediation server includes a connection request transmitting unit so as to have communication established between the image processing apparatus and the application server, the relay server includes: a communication establishing unit; a job transferring unit; a job identifying unit; and a communication terminating unit, and after the communication terminating unit terminates the communication, the communication establishing unit reestablishes the communication.
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 apparatus includes a main processor configured to process packets received by a wired LAN module and a wireless LAN module in a normal state and a sub processor configured to process packets received by the wired LAN module and the wireless LAN module in place of the main processor in a first power saving state in which supply of electric power to the main processor is stopped. In the first power saving state, the sub processor is configured to process a packet received by the wired LAN module by using a first combination of a MAC address and an IP address and to process a packet received by the wireless LAN module by using a second combination of a MAC address and an IP address.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log in includes: a display unit configured to display an image; and a display controller configured to display personal region images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display unit, display common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display unit, and display images of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user in the personal display regions to be movable, respectively, wherein when any of the users logs out, the display controller finishes displaying the image arranged in the personal display region among the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out, and continues to display the image arranged in the common display region.
Abstract:
A shared data managing device is provided which manages shared data by setting an access right on a first user account basis. The first user account has a first identifier and first user information on a first user receiving a first service. The device includes an obtaining portion for obtaining, from a service providing system for a second service, a second identifier of a second user account used for the second service and second user information on a second user; a pairing portion for making a pair of the first identifier and the second identifier of the first user account and the second user account that are common in the first user information and the second user information; and a transmission portion for sending, to the service providing system, the shared data, the pair made, and the access right on a first user account basis.
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.
