Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a reader, an authentication processor, and a process executor. The reader is configured to detect authentication medium in which authentication information is stored or displayed and read the authentication information from the authentication medium. The authentication processor is configured to execute user authentication on the basis of the authentication information read by the reader. The process executor is configured to, when the same authentication medium has been detected by the reader multiple times in a predetermined detection pattern, execute a preset process associated with the detection pattern.

Abstract: A display and input device includes a display section, touch screen section, control section, and storage section. The display section displays thereon a screen image including an operation element image. The touch screen section detects a touch position on the screen image. The control section detects a set of touch position coordinates based on output from the touch screen section. The storage section stores therein detection coordinate data showing coordinate values associated with possible output values of the touch screen section, and a predetermined number of sets of touch position coordinates detected. On detecting a touch in a non-operable region the predetermined number of times in succession, the control section displays a target point image on the display section, determines an amount of deviation between the detected coordinates and the display coordinates of the target point image, and calibrates the detection coordinate data in accordance with the amount of deviation.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic equipment, where divided display is performed and different user operates each screen, to protect privacy of showing contents. Accordingly, a permission user to whom access to privacy information made into a privacy protection object and its privacy information is permitted is set to privacy setup information. As for a privacy protection processing part, the divided display of the display screen of an operation part is performed, in case that a login user of a divided screen of one side differs from a login user of another divided screen of another side, when showing on one screen privacy information set as privacy setup information, an operation part is controlled to reduce a visibility of one screen.

Abstract: A display input device, when it has been determined that a plurality of messages, display periods of which overlap with each other, are mutually similar, selects one of the plurality of mutually similar messages as a display message to be displayed, and displays the display message in a display mode corresponding to a highest one of respective importance levels of the plurality of mutually similar messages, while not displaying, among the plurality of mutually similar messages, a message other than the display message.

Abstract: Provided is an electronic equipment and a management method of the electronic equipment able to alleviate dissatisfaction and a disadvantage inflicted on a user and an expense incurred by a manager until functions of a copier are recovered even when a failure is occurred. The electronic equipment includes a processing part that executes processing to be charged to a user; a control circuit that has a diagnosis function for diagnosing a failure when the failure interrupting the processing is occurred and a clocking function for clocking a first time taken for execution of the diagnosis function; and a memory part that has a counting region in which the number of execution of the processing clocked by the control circuit is held.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage part storing a plurality of job data, an output part outputting a job of the job data and a job data erasion controlling part configured to overwrite and delete a previously output job data output from the output part. The job data erasion controlling part overwrites and deletes the previously output job data in an idle time other than a time at which the storage part is read and/or written when the job is output, and then, if the storage part has a free space area having a capacity larger than a predetermined capacity, the output job data is overwritten and deleted in descending order of data size, and if the storage part has a free space area having a capacity smaller than the predetermined capacity, the output job data is overwritten and deleted in ascending order of data size.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage part configured to store a plurality of job data, an output part configured to output a job of the job data and a job data erasion controlling part configured to erase a previously output job data output from the output part by overwriting. The job data erasion controlling part erases the previously output job data by overwriting in an idle time other than a time at which the storage part is read and/or written when the job is output, and then, if the storage part has a free space area having a capacity larger than a predetermined capacity, the output job data is erased by overwriting in descending order of data size, and if the storage part has a free space area having a capacity smaller than the predetermined capacity, the output job data is erased by overwriting in ascending order of data size.

Abstract: The operation apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a touch panel, a determination unit, a shrinkage rate calculating unit, a window shrinking unit, and a multi window display unit. The shrinkage rate calculating unit that calculates, in a case in which the determination unit determines that an input operation on the plurality of setting item keys is detected within a predetermined time period, a shrinkage rate allowing equal allocation of space for a predetermined number of setting condition input windows in a display region based on the setting item number, and a size of the display region in a case of displaying only one setting condition input window on the touch panel. The multi window display unit that displays in the display region the predetermined number of setting condition input windows that are shrunk by the window shrinking unit.

Abstract: An electronic device includes: a memory unit; and a control unit which selects, from a set of information corresponding to a plurality of errors, selected information corresponding to an error that occurred, such that at least one of a type and a frequency of the error that occurred satisfies/satisfy a predetermined condition. The control unit also causes the memory unit to store the selected information.
