Abstract:
An information processing apparatus may include a conversion unit, a transmission unit, and an instruction unit. The conversion unit acquires document data from a document management apparatus in response to a conversion request transmitted from an external device in a case where it is detected that a predetermined document operation is performed on the document data and converts the acquired document data into print data to be used by an image forming apparatus to output the document data. The transmission unit transmits to the image forming apparatus the print data converted from the document data by the conversion unit. The instruction unit instructs the image forming apparatus to output document data transmitted from the transmission unit in response to an output request transmitted from the external device in a case where it is detected that an output operation of outputting the document data is performed.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, for forming an image on recording material based on an input print job, includes an input unit adapted to receive user information for a second user while a first user is logged in with the image forming apparatus, and a processing unit adapted to perform, while the first user is logged in with the image forming apparatus, as a process for a print job related to the second user, whose user information has been received by the input unit, a preprocess that does not accompany image forming.
Abstract:
There is provided an information processing device which counts a use amount at a time when a user uses a data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the relevant user. The information processing device comprises: an input unit for inputting discrimination information of a first user; an acquisition unit for, after the discrimination information is input by the input unit, acquiring permission to count the use amount at a time when a second user uses the data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the first user, from said first user; and a counting unit for, in a case where the permission is acquired by the acquisition unit, counting the use amount at the time when the second user uses the data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the first user.
Abstract:
An object is to provide an application platform in which, before a screen of an application is displayed, another application can display any screen by an optional determination standard. When the screen of a first application is to be displayed, if a second application exists monitoring a function of an image forming apparatus included in the first application, the second application is notified of the function information before the screen of the first application is displayed. Then, for realizing the above, the use function of the image forming apparatus is registered for each of the first applications, and the monitor function is registered for each of the second applications.
Abstract:
The function restriction information of a designated flow executor is acquired. The acquired function restriction information is analyzed. An operation screen that identifiably displays process contents executable by the flow executor in association with setting target functions to be set in the flow is displayed on the basis of the analyzed function restriction information. Process contents of a setting target function to be set in the flow are selected on the basis of an operation in the operation screen. The flow of the flow executor is generated by combining the functions of the selected process contents.
Abstract:
A destination table is updated on the basis of the use record of destination information in adaptation to the environment of a user. A device management server collects a destination table managed by each device from a device on a network. Then, the device management server checks the use record of the destination table collected from each image forming device, and determines a candidate to be deleted. Then, the device management server does not delete the destination table determined to be a deletion candidate when a number of times operations have been performed by the image forming device in a predetermined period is less than a threshold value. The device management server deletes the destination table of the determined candidate when the number of times operations have been performed by the image forming device in the predetermined period is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus configured to allow a plurality of installed applications to be executed includes a storage unit configured to include a storage area storing information about the plurality of applications, and a registration unit configured to receive the application information about the application from an external apparatus without involving the application and to register the received application information into the storage area, wherein the application information includes identification information for identifying the application and usage information to be used by the application.
