Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes: a radio communication unit configured to start emission of radio waves for performing radio communication with a radio tag, and obtain specific information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which a user in a predetermined range is detected by a detecting unit; a first authentication unit configured to execute first authentication for the radio tag, based on the specific information obtained by the radio communication unit; a second authentication unit configured to execute second authentication for a user included in an image acquired by an imaging unit, based on feature information of the image; and an apparatus authentication unit configured to authorize the user to use the information processing apparatus, if a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication is the same as the user authenticated by the second authentication.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores combination information relevant to combinations of different types of first programs that can be installed in a device, the combination information including memory consumption amounts of the combinations; a receiving unit that receives an install target first program and device information relevant to the device; and a determining unit that determines validity of installing the install target first program in the device by determining, by referring to the combination information, a predicted memory consumption amount corresponding to a first combination including the install target first program and an existing first program that is installed in the device and indicated in the device information, and by comparing the predicted memory consumption amount with a device memory consumption amount of the device indicated in the device information.
Abstract:
A license install support method includes receiving input of a first license identifier used for receiving license data, the license data being used by an electronic device for determining whether activation of a program is allowable; sending, to a license source determining device connected via a network, an acquisition request specifying the first license identifier for acquiring issuing source information including issuing source identification information of the license data; receiving the issuing source information returned from the license source determining device; and using a license install processing unit to acquire the license data corresponding to the first license identifier from a license management device relevant to the issuing source information included among plural license management devices connected via the network, and to send the license data to the electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry acquires, from an external server, information related to software that is downloadable on the electronic apparatus through a network and installable on the electronic apparatus. The circuitry determines whether at least conditions of authentication settings with respect to the electronic apparatus are satisfied. The circuitry displays, on a display, a notification screen for notifying the acquired information, according to a determination result.
Abstract:
An information processing system includes a first image forming apparatus and a second image forming apparatus connected to the first image forming apparatus over a network. The first image forming apparatus includes: a unit configured to transmit a request for a job process to the second image forming apparatus, a unit configured to receive an instruction to perform a job process transmitted from the second image forming apparatus, and a unit configured to perform the job process in accordance with the instruction to perform the job process. The second image forming apparatus includes a unit configured to receive the request for the job process transmitted from the first image forming apparatus, and a unit configured to transmit the instruction to perform the job process pertaining to the received request to the first image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
A system including a computer and having a part that stores identification data and status data in association with the identification data, a part that receives a request to acquire a license corresponding to a designated identification data, a part that receives a designation of an electronic device, a part that designates the identification data, obtains license data corresponding to the designated identification data, and updates the status data associated with the designated identification data, the updated status data indicating that the license is being used, a part that transmits the license data to the electronic device via a network and instructs the electronic device to acquire the license, and a part that provides a part that receives an instruction for re-executing obtaining of the license data depending on whether the status data is updated and instructs to re-execute the obtaining of the license data.
