Abstract: A disclosed managing apparatus and image forming apparatus management system ensure confidentiality of information in an image forming apparatus while usability is maintained. An image forming apparatus acquires IC card identifying information with an IC card reader. A management server acquires a user ID associated with the acquired IC card identifying information and use limit information concerning use of the image forming apparatus. A process is performed in the image forming apparatus in accordance with the use limit information.

Abstract: A data management system, which is implemented by one or more information processing apparatuses, includes a program storage unit that stores an operation management program, a generating unit that embeds the operation management program in first data and thereby generates second data including the operation management program. When an operation is performed on the second data at an external apparatus, the operation management program sends operation information indicating the operation from the external apparatus to the data management system.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a reading condition on a document; a first generation unit that reads, in accordance with the acquired reading condition, the document including a first area in which information-holding images containing readable information and each having a different color overlap each other, and generates image data; a second generation unit that reads data contained in the generated image data and corresponding to the first area, and generates the information-holding images having the respective different colors from values of color components contained in each pixel of the read data; and an execution unit that reads the information contained in each of the generated information-holding images, and executes processing based on the read information.
