  • Publication number: 20240333842
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus uploads data to an external service, determines whether the data upload is successful, downloads the uploaded data from the external service, determines whether the data download is successful, and compares the uploaded data with the downloaded data to determine a state of the external service. It is determined that the state of the external service is a normal state if it is determined that both of the data upload and the data download are successful and that the uploaded data and the downloaded data are identical, and it is determined that the state of the external service is abnormal state if it is determined that the data upload is not successful or that the data download is not successful or that the uploaded data and the downloaded data are not identical. The determined state is stored as a service state.

  • Patent number: 11611677
    Abstract: An apparatus compares pieces of document image data with each other based on the result of a multi-cropping process and the result of an analysis of the document images and, if the pieces of document image data have the same date information and money amount information, determines that related pieces of data are present. In this way, the apparatus can easily prevent pieces of information related to the same transaction from redundantly registered in a system.
