  • Patent number: 10452324
    Abstract: A printing system of one embodiment according to the present invention queries a storage server to acquire a URL list of a created file of a conversion server 101 by which a client computer performs data processing. The client computer determines whether or not the data processing is proceeding based on the acquired URL list. If a number of times that the client computer has determined that the data processing is not proceeding exceeds a predetermined threshold, the client computer determines that the server is not operating normally.

  • Patent number: 10373329
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus acquires an image obtained by photographing a part of the subject, specifies a relative position which part of the subject is photographed to obtain the image, determines a specific area included in the obtained image based on the specified relative position, and calculates an edge amount of the specific area. Then, in a case where the calculated edge amount in the specific area is larger than a first threshold, a character recognition processing is performed on the specific area included in the acquired image.
