  • Patent number: 10194297
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a session generating unit, an associating unit, and a processing unit. The session generating unit generates, in a case where an operation is accepted from a first terminal with a user not uniquely identified, first session information in association with the first terminal and generates, in a case where an operation is accepted from a second terminal, second session information in association with the second terminal. The associating unit associates the first session information with the second session information in a case where an operation for associating the first terminal with the second terminal is accepted. The processing unit performs, in a case where the first session information is associated with the second session information, a process using an operation log stored in association with the first terminal, in response to an operation performed using the second terminal.

  • Patent number: 9900469
    Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus. A storage unit stores a second table tabulating a usage amount when a user uses an apparatus for each identifier for tabulation separately from a first table in which user information is registered for each identifier for authentication of the user. A reception unit receives a user identifier. A registration unit registers the user identifier in the second table as an identifier for tabulation, when the received user identifier establishes an authentication by a verification in the identifier for authentication registered in the first table, and is not registered in the second table.
