Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for automatic processing of forms using augmented reality. In an embodiment, a filled-out application form including one or more fields is scanned in augmented reality mode and its one or more images are captured. The captured images are used to identify the form type by comparing them with an original application form and to generate an electronic version of the form. Subsequently, filled-out content in the images is extracted and compared with a retrieved configuration file, which has a type same as the identified type of the filled-out application form. Based on this comparison, one or more messages are generated that are superimposed on the electronic version of the form in the augmented reality mode and that both are displayed.

Abstract: A bearing component for rotatably receiving a rotating shaft on an end of a rotating unit includes a component body, an inner protrusion, and one or more outer protrusions. The component body has a recess into which the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted. The inner protrusion protrudes from a wall portion of the recess facing an end surface of the rotating shaft. The inner protrusion receives an axial load by the rotating shaft. The outer protrusions protrude from an outer surface of the component body opposite to the recess. The one or more outer protrusions are in contact with a holding unit. A contact portion between the outer protrusions and the holding unit is offset from a contact portion position between the inner protrusion and the end surface. The contact portion between at least one of the outer protrusions and the holding unit has a non-planar shape.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus includes a reception unit that, in a case where a first text string which is generated from a first range as a partial range of a content of a document and includes one or more text strings showing a feature of the document is present, receives specifying of a second range which is a range in which a second text string which includes one or more text strings at least partially different from the first text string is generated from the content, and a control unit that controls the reception of the specifying of the second range by the reception unit such that a data amount of the second text string generated from the second range is less than or equal to a data capacity of the second text string determined by a data amount of the first text string or less than or equal to a data capacity which is determined until the second range is specified after decision of the first range in the document.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquirer and a controller. The acquirer acquires a message sent by a user for a task from a communication system. The communication system provides a communication service used by multiple users to send and receive messages via a network. The user is one of the multiple users using the communication service. The controller performs control to inform the user that the message is unsuitable if the message acquired by the acquirer is unsuitable for the task.

Abstract: A developer container includes a container body, a transport unit, a support unit, and a protrusion. The container body includes a cylindrical accommodating space that accommodates a developer, and a discharge port. The transport unit transports the accommodated developer toward the discharge port by a transport blade. The transport blade moves so as to pass closely to an inner wall of the accommodating space. The support unit rotatably supports a rotating shaft of the transport unit. The support unit includes a connecting component that connects to an external element to receive external rotational power. The protrusion protrudes inward from the inner wall. When the transport unit reversely rotates in an opposite direction to a rotational direction in transporting the developer, the transport blade passes in contact with the protrusion and vibrates so as to touch the inner wall of the accommodating space.
