  • Patent number: 11616884
    Abstract: In an image processing system in which when a paper document is computerized, a file name or the like is set by using a recognized character string obtained by performing OCR processing, so that time and effort of a user when a plurality of documents is computerized en bloc is reduced. Learning data is generated by registering positional information relating to a recognized character string used for setting of a property relating to a scanned image in association with a document form of the scanned image. Then, in a case where the learning data is generated in response to setting of the property being performed for a first scanned image that is selected from a plurality of scanned images included in a list, a scanned image having a document form similar to a document form of the first scanned image is determined among other scanned images included in the list.

  • Patent number: 11575799
    Abstract: In a case where a user adds or deletes a separator to or from an automatically generated file name or the like, it is made possible to automatically generate a file reflecting the presence/absence of a separator at the time of transforming a scanned image of a document of the same kind into a file from next time. In a case where a document similar to a document scanned in the past is scanned, based on results of learning including the presence/absence of a separator, a property for a document scanned this time is generated automatically and presented.

  • Patent number: 11144259
    Abstract: An information processing system in which at least a server and an information processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus are connected via a network is provided. The server authenticates a user in response to a request for authentication from the image forming apparatus or the information processing apparatus, and stores an adapter registered in the information processing apparatus. The image forming apparatus obtains an adapter registered in the server and corresponding to the authenticated user and executes a process to be executed when the process is described in the obtained adapter and transmits, to the server, a result of the process. The server executes a process to be executed by the server when the process to be executed by the server is described in the obtained adapter and registers the result of the executed process.

  • Patent number: 10999277
    Abstract: A communication system has first terminal and second terminals, and a relay server that relays communication between the first and second terminals. When a login request is received including authentication information from the first terminal, the relay server associates and stores, in a storage, identification information of the first terminal corresponding to the authentication information and access information for accessing the relay server; and sends the access information to the first terminal. When a login request has been received including authentication information from the second terminal, the relay server sends to the second terminal the access information specified based on the identification information of the first terminal sent from the second terminal and information stored in the storage, and relays communication between the first and second terminals based on the access information.

  • Patent number: 10320998
    Abstract: Upon accepting a first operation of operating a predetermined hardware key, an image forming apparatus preferentially displays a remote support start screen provided from an information processing apparatus via a relay server. Upon accepting a remote support start instruction from a user via the start screen, the image forming apparatus obtains identification information from the relay server and displays the obtained identification information. Upon accepting an operator operation, the information processing apparatus accepts the identification information, connects to the image forming apparatus using the accepted identification information, and activates a remote support client application. Even upon reception of press information of a specific key from the information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus can display the remote support screen in preference to the display of the operation screen.

  • Patent number: 10283295
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protection device including a bimetal component and a PTC component. This protection device includes a resin base, a first terminal, a second terminal, a PTC component, a bimetal component, an arm, an upper plate and a resin cover. A portion of the first terminal configures a first electrode, and a portion of a second terminal configures the second electrode, and the first electrode and the second electrode are exposed outward at the bottom surface of the resin base. In a normal state, the first terminal, the arm and the second terminal are electrically connected in series. When the bimetal component is activated, the first terminal and the arm become electrically cut off while the first terminal, the PTC component, the bimetal component, the arm and the second terminal are electrically connected in series in the mentioned order.

  • Patent number: 10129427
    Abstract: In a communication system including a first terminal and a second terminal, a management server manages the first terminal and the second terminal, and a relay server relays communication between the first terminal and the second terminal, upon authenticating the first terminal, the management server notifies the first terminal of first authentication information for requesting authentication to the relay server and connection information for connecting to the relay server, and upon authenticating the second terminal, the management server notifies the second terminal of second authentication information for requesting authentication to the relay server. In response to a request from the first terminal, the relay server creates access information and transmits it to the first terminal. The relay server transmits the access information to the second terminal and relays the communication performed between the first terminal and the second terminal.
