  • Publication number: 20170109110
    Abstract: In the case of displaying, as a list, information pieces on virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services, the user may become confused when choosing a printer if virtual printers that correspond to a printer are displayed as different printers, consequently reducing user convenience. The present invention relates to searching for virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services and generating a printer list that displays, as a group, virtual printers corresponding to a printer among the virtual printers thus found, on the basis of printer identifiers of the virtual printers.

  • Publication number: 20170017448
    Abstract: When virtual printers are collectively registered with a plurality of print services through one operation, a virtual printer may be registered also with print services not utilized. In the present invention, by acquiring information regarding print services, provided by a plurality of print services, and information regarding virtual printers registered with the print services, it is determined, on a basis of the information regarding the virtual printers and a printer ID of the local printer, whether or not the local printer has been registered as a virtual printer with the print services. Information regarding the print service with which the local printer is determined not to have been registered is displayed, and when instructed by a user to register the local printer with the displayed print service as a virtual printer, the local printer is registered as the virtual printer with the instructed print service.

  • Publication number: 20160154616
    Abstract: In the coordination of a data conversion server and a storage server which belong to different security domains, a client terminal is able to replace an authorization token for accessing the data conversion server with a temporary URL on the storage server, the client terminal, which is located outside the data exchange server, will be able to issue a temporary URL without authorization, resulting in a file operation which is not intended by the data conversion server being performed. Scopes for allowing a client terminal to access the data conversion server and scopes necessary for the issuance of a temporary URL are separated from each other, and a limitation is imposed so that the scopes for the issuance of a temporary URL can be used only by the data conversion server, thereby enabling secure provision of a temporary URL to an external client terminal.

  • Patent number: 9250841
    Abstract: When a print server according to the present invention receives a printing cancellation request from a load balancer, the print server acquires information of a print job as a target of the printing cancellation request and information of a printing device. Then, the print server determines whether a status of the acquired print job is a first status where printing cancellation processing is to be executed by a print server in charge of the printing device, a second status where the printing cancellation processing is to be executed by the printing device, or a third status where the printing cancellation request is to be handled as an error. Thereafter, the print server executes the printing cancellation processing according to the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20140304324
    Abstract: When a management apparatus receives a content sharing request, the apparatus uploads information about the content to a microblog service by using an authority of a first user who made the sharing request, associates an identifier for determining the information with the content. Next, when the apparatus receives a display request for the content, the apparatus transmits an acquisition request of the uploaded information corresponding to the identifier associated with the requested content by using an authority of a second user who made the display request, to the microblog service. If the apparatus determines that the uploaded information can be acquired, the apparatus permits displaying of the content corresponding to the display request. Otherwise, the apparatus denies displaying of the content corresponding to the display request. In this way, a sharing relationship among users in the microblog service and content access rights can be associated with each other.
