Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of providing security for print right-associated image data. An image forming apparatus is capable of communicating with a management server that manages print rights. When printing image data stored in the storage section, a CPU determines whether a print right is associated with the image data. Whenever it is determined that a print right is associated with image data, the CPU makes an inquiry of the management server about print permission of the image data associated with the print right. A printer section prints an image represented by the image data when a response from the management server indicates that the image data associated with the print right is permitted to be printed.

Abstract: An image forming device capable of acquiring to-be-printed data from any of external image forming devices, without making inquiries about the presence or absence of the to-be-printed data to all the external image forming devices. An image forming apparatus receives, from another image forming apparatus that has received print data, bibliographic information containing identification information that identifies the another image forming apparatus, and registers the received bibliographic information. When receiving a bibliographic information acquisition request, the image forming apparatus transmits bibliographic information, among pieces of bibliographic information registered in the image forming apparatus, to the image forming apparatus that has transmitted the bibliographic information acquisition request.

Abstract: The image sensing apparatus comprises a first scan unit for scanning light from an OCT light source and light from an SLO light source in a first direction of a test object, and a second scan unit for scanning the light from the OCT light source in a second direction different from the first direction of the test object. The image sensing apparatus acquires tomographic images of the test object along the first direction when the first scan unit scans the light from the OCT light source, and acquires cross-over images of the test object corresponding to the tomographic images when the first scan unit scans the light from the SLO light source.

Abstract: Provided is an ophthalmologic apparatus for detecting an eye movement from movements of a plurality of characteristic points within a fundus image. It is determined whether or not the plurality of characteristic points are included in a new fundus image when a position of a fixation index is changed, based on a relationship between a displacement amount of the fixation index and positions of the characteristic points within a fundus plane. If it is determined that at least one of the plurality of characteristic points is not included in the new fundus image, new characteristic points are extracted from a limited range within a new fundus plane image. Accordingly, the characteristic points can be efficiently reacquired for eye movement detection performed when an imaging target region of an eye to be inspected is changed by the fixation index.
