Abstract: When an editing APP receives a print instruction while designating an image to be printer, a supporting program receives a specific parameter and processes intermediate image data, and a general-use printing program generates print data based on the processed intermediate image data and transmits the print data to a printer. On the other hand, when the editing APP receives a preview instruction while designating an image to be printed, the supporting program receives a specific parameter and processes intermediated image data. Then, the general-use printing program responds to the editing APP without transmitting print data to the printer.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to acquire an image of a digitized document and execute a first verification process by using image processing using artificial intelligence. The first verification process verifies whether a first requirement is satisfied. The first requirement is a specific requirement among multiple requirements that are required when the acquired image of the document is stored. The processor is also configured to execute a second verification process by using a determination process not using the artificial intelligence. The second verification process verifies whether a second requirement among the multiple requirements is satisfied. The second requirement is other than the first requirement.

Abstract: A system for remote identification of users. The system uses deep learning techniques for authenticating a user from an identification document and using automated verification of identification documents.
