  • Publication number: 20180088743
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an application on a framework, that is separated into a core logic portion handling basic processing and a user interface frame portion handling rendering processing and operates; and a controller that executes the application and the framework. The core logic portion is implemented with an application programming interface defined by the framework and is loaded in a memory by the framework at activation of a system. At least a first area and a second area for screen display are ensured in the memory. Home screen data is loaded in the first area. Alert or fault screen data is loaded in the second area.

  • Patent number: 9609068
    Abstract: A response transmission unit transmits a response including unique information unique to a user who is authenticated on the basis of user identification information, to a session management server, in a case where the user identification information is included in a request received by a reception unit. A transmission unit transmits the response to a client apparatus along with identification information of a service providing server which is a transmission source of the response when the response with the unique information is received. A request transmission unit, in principle, transmits a request received by a request reception unit to a service providing server corresponding to identification information in the request, but transmits a request to a service providing server corresponding to identification information associated with unique information when receiving the request including the same unique information as unique information which has been stored in a session management DB.
