Patent number: 11533403Abstract: A process executing system for receiving image data of an output material from an apparatus and processing the output material, the process executing system comprising a communicator and a duplicate detector. The communicator is configured to transmit, in response to a request from the apparatus, to the apparatus, output data of the output material including identification information of the output material, and is configured to receive image data generated by reading the output material by the apparatus, the output material being the output data printed by the apparatus. The duplicate detector is configured to detect a generation of the image data from a same output material as the output material, based on the identification information of the output material attached in the image data received by the communicator.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Seiichi Saitoh, Ayako Tsushima, Kazuaki Kidoguchi, Atsuko Serizawa, Tomoya Amikura, Nobumitsu Tabei

Patent number: 10621070Abstract: An information processing system includes a first memory that stores information on a request for performing data processing associated with a type of the data processing, a second memory that stores information on a request for performing data processing for testing, and a plurality of circuitry that performs data processing according to the type of the data processing. The plurality of circuitry includes a first circuitry that operates in a normal mode and a second circuitry that operates in a test mode. The second circuitry starts up in the test mode to operate in the test mode if the first circuitry operates in the normal mode and transitions from the test mode to the normal mode according to a user request. In the normal mode, the circuitry acquires the information on the request for performing the data processing from the first memory and performs the data processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Masateru Kumagai, Tadashi Honda, Kohichiroh Nishikawa, Tomoya Amikura
