Abstract:
Provided is a document managing apparatus that can eliminate the complexity of operation related to designation of confidential information, and yet reliably prevents leakage of confidential information. First, a receiving circuit receives target files from a client terminal. Therefore, a file managing circuit manages, of the received target files, a file that is designated as confidential, having been subjected to output restriction, as a confidential designated file. In addition, the file managing circuit manages a file that is not designated as confidential, as a user file. In addition, the file analyzing circuit compares the user file with the confidential designated file. If the content of the user file is similar to the content of the confidential designated file at a rate equal to or higher than a certain value (for example, 80%), the file analyzing circuit applies output restriction to the user file.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a display device, an operation device, an information-for-display reception unit, and a display control unit. The display device displays information for display. The operation device is receives input of an operation by a user. The information-for-display reception unit receives the information for display from an external device. The display control unit controls the display device, and causes the display device to display the information for display when the information for display received by the information-for-display reception unit is directed to the user.
Abstract:
An information sharing system includes a group management server and at least one terminal. The group management server includes a mark generating circuit that generates a group ID for uniquely identifying a group. The terminal includes a mark analysis circuit that analyzes the imaged mark; and a second communication control circuit that controls the second communication circuit to communicate with the group management server and the file server, and sends a request for the user ID stored in the second storage circuit based on the analysis results to join the group indicated by the group ID. The shared folder management circuit of the group management server set an access right for the received user ID on the shared folder when receiving the request from the terminal.
Abstract:
A remote maintenance system includes: a remote maintenance server; and one or more image forming apparatuses, the server including an operation input unit, a display unit, a storage unit that stores panel programs, a communication unit, an image forming apparatus database in which functions are registered, and a manager circuit that acquires, when a serviceman instructs restoration, the panel program to be restored from the storage unit, analyzes which of the functions is to be invoked by the panel program, compares, by referencing the database, the function of the restore-destination apparatus and the function to be invoked, and determines whether the restore-destination apparatus executes the panel program, and instructs the restore-destination apparatus to restore the panel program when it executes the panel program, each image forming apparatus restoring, when receiving a restore instruction, the panel program based on the instruction.
Abstract:
A mobile device receives a latest version of firmware with a firmware management system that manages firmware and receives a current version of firmware in an image forming apparatus through close-range communication with the image forming apparatus. The mobile device determines whether or not a later version than the current version of firmware in the image forming apparatus exists based on the latest version of firmware and the current version of firmware that are received.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a server. The image forming apparatus transmits to the server image data representing an image. The image is read by the reading device from the recording medium on which the print device prints the image, in response to an instruction to print at the origin of the print area. The server acquires, from the image data transmitted from the image forming apparatus, a printing-complete reference position, as a position where the recording-medium origin is made a reference, in a location printed on the recording medium by the image forming apparatus in response to an instruction to execute printing at the print-area origin, and acquires the displacement as a difference between the acquired printing-complete reference position and the print reference position stored in the storage device.
Abstract:
A device management apparatus includes a communication processing circuit and a service support processing circuit. The communication processing circuit receives device state information transmitted from a first operator. The device state information indicates device state information of the electronic device. The first operator performs solution work to a failure of the electronic device. The service support processing circuit determines a category into which the device state information is classified from the received device state information. The service support processing unit searches a database for a second operator or a candidate for the second operator. The second operator has solved a failure belonging to the determined category. The database stores operator information including a solution result of a failure of each operator. The service support processing unit decides the searched second operator or the searched candidate for the second operator to assist or complement the solution work by the first operator.
Abstract:
A glossary management device includes a read circuit, a storage circuit, an acquisition circuit, an analysis circuit, a term matching circuit, and a registration circuit. The storage circuit has a storage area for a glossary. The acquisition circuit acquires text data of a document if reading of the document is executed by a user. The analysis circuit performs analysis of the text data acquired by the acquisition circuit to identify a language of the document and parts of speech of text segments in the text data and extracts one or more text segments from the document based on the analysis. The term matching circuit performs matching for each of the extracted text segments against a public dictionary. The registration circuit adds to the glossary, each extracted text segment that does not match any entry term in the public dictionary.
Abstract:
An information processing device includes a communication circuit, a storage circuit, a communications control circuit, a spool circuit, a RIP processing circuit, a matching circuit, and a grouping circuit. The RIP processing circuit rasterizes the stored one or more pieces of document data to generate one or more pieces of rasterized data. The matching circuit performs matching processing of the generated one or more pieces of rasterized data. The grouping circuit groups pieces of rasterized data with an identical content one another among the one or more pieces of rasterized data based on the result of the matching processing. The communications control circuit transmits the grouped one or more pieces of rasterized data to an image forming apparatus by each of the groups via the communication circuit.
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming system that has a portable terminal and an image forming apparatus. The portable terminal includes a preview image data request notice transmitting circuit, a preview image data receiving circuit, a preview image display circuit, a preview image confirmation input circuit, and a preview image data deletion notice transmitting circuit. The image forming apparatus includes a preview image data request notice receiving circuit, a preview image data generating circuit, a preview image data transmission circuit, a preview image data deletion notice receiving circuit, and an image forming apparatus preview image data deletion circuit. The portable terminal transmits a preview image data deletion notice to an image forming apparatus, when it inputs that the preview image is confirmed. Then, the image forming apparatus deletes preview image data.
