    摘要: An example management server creates a group for synchronizing an application configuration, transmits a group identifier of the group to devices included in the group, maps configuration data of an application to the group identifier, stores the mapped configuration data, and transmits the configuration data to at least one device included in the group. When a configuration of an executed application is changed, a device checks whether a group identifier mapped to the application exists in a storage. When the group identifier exists, the device displays a message inquiring whether to propagate the changed configuration data of the application to the group to which the group identifier is assigned. When receiving a request to propagate the changed configuration data, the device provides the changed configuration data to a management server in a predetermined method. The group identifier is transmitted from the management server and stored in the storage.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus communicably connected to a server includes circuitry to display, on a display, an application list based on web content acquired from the server. The application list is a list of a plurality of applications available with the electronic apparatus. The plurality of applications includes at least a web application. The circuitry acquires first version information from the server. The first version information indicates a version of firmware required for the electronic apparatus to use the web application included in the application list displayed. The circuitry determines whether second version information is equal to or newer than the first version information acquired from the server. The second version information indicates a current version of firmware installed on the electronic apparatus. The circuitry updates the firmware of the electronic apparatus in response to a determination indicating that the second version information is older than the first version information.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a display character string storage unit, an application control unit, and a search unit. The display character string storage unit stores language information indicating the kind of language which can be displayed by the image processing apparatus, and a character string corresponding to the language information. The application control unit executes an application for realizing an additional function of the image processing apparatus. The search unit acquires a character string of the kind of language which the application does not have from the display character string storage unit on the basis of a character string identifier for specifying a character string stored in the display character string storage unit.
