  • Patent number: 8947706
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a setting unit and an identification information extracting unit. The setting unit obtains first identification information that is identification information of a user in an information system that performs first authentication, the identification information being input by the user for user authentication to an image forming apparatus connected to the information system, sends setting information including the first identification information to a print service system that performs second authentication, thereby establishing a logical printer in which the setting information is set in the service system, and sets, as identification information of a person who uses the logical printer, second identification information that is identification information of the user in the service system.

  • Patent number: 8879090
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus performs printing processing using first identification information in a first system in a particular organization that performs first authentication, the first identification information being information that identifies a user in the first authentication. The image forming apparatus includes an obtaining unit and a controller. The obtaining unit obtains print data from a logical printer in a second system that is a cloud service system that performs second authentication. Setting information including the first identification information is set in the logical printer, and the image forming apparatus is set as an output destination in the logical printer. The controller controls printing processing of the print data obtained by the obtaining unit using the first identification information included in setting information set in the obtained print data.

  • Patent number: 7719725
    Abstract: A print control apparatus includes a print request receiving unit and a print control unit. The print request receiving unit receives a print request, including print target information, to a print apparatus. If a condition is satisfied under which print target information should have information regarding security added thereto for printing, the print control unit adds the information regarding security to the print target information and causes the print apparatus to print the print target information to which the information regarding security is added. If the condition is not satisfied, the print control apparatus stores the print target information included in the print request in a storage unit, and when an operation receiving unit provided in the print apparatus is operated to instruct to print the stored print target information, the print control apparatus causes the print apparatus to print the stored print target information.

  • Patent number: 7628329
    Abstract: An image processing device includes a judgement section and a generation section. A latent image, which would be retained or eliminated by photocopying, is to be superposed with machine-readable code images, which are encoded supplementary information, to generate a superposed image. The judgement section judges overlapping of the latent image with the machine-readable code images. The generation section, on the basis of judgement results from the judgement section, determines an arrangement of the machine-readable code images and generates the superposed image.
