Abstract: An embedded device, a method for executing a virus scan program, and a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions for executing the virus scan program are provided. The embedded device on which the virus scan program for detecting computer virus operates starts a virus scan, displays a first display component for receiving an instruction to pause the virus scan, receives the instruction to pause the virus scan, and pauses the virus scan when the instruction to pause the virus scan is received.

Abstract: An electronic device communicable with a server system via a network, includes circuitry to: transmit information on the electronic device to the server system; store in a memory information on a display component corresponding to the information on the electronic device that is acquired from the server system; read the information on the display component stored in the memory at a predetermined timing; display the display component that is read on a display; in response to selection of the display component, acquire information associated with the display component from the server system; and display the acquired information on the display.

Abstract: An information distribution system in which an electronic device and an information distribution apparatus are connected to each other via a network, includes a device usage information collecting unit configured to collect device usage information of the electronic device; a distribution information generating unit configured to generate, as distribution information, information of an alternative product or an additional product with respect to the electronic device, based on the device usage information; and a distributing unit configured to distribute the distribution information to the electronic device.

Abstract: There is provided an information distribution system including an electronic apparatus and an information distribution apparatus connected through a network, the information distribution apparatus comprising an apparatus usage information collection unit configured to collect apparatus usage information indicating usage situation of the electronic apparatus; a distribution information generating unit configured to generate distribution information to be distributed to the electronic apparatus based on the apparatus usage information; and a distribution unit configured to distribute the distribution information to the electronic apparatus; the electronic apparatus comprising a distribution information acquiring unit configured to acquire the distribution information; and a display control unit configured to display the distribution information in a display unit of the electronic apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing system includes at least one device and a server system. The server system includes a provision control unit, a first generation unit, a message screen request reception unit, a second generation unit, and a message screen transmission unit. The first generation unit generates first correspondence information in which each device is associated with an application not yet provided to the device. The message screen request reception unit receives a message screen request from the device. The second generation unit generates a message screen based on the first correspondence information. The message screen transmission unit transmits the message screen to the device in response to the message screen request. The device includes a message screen request transmission unit, a message screen reception unit, and a message screen display unit. The message screen display unit displays the message screen received by the message screen reception unit.

Abstract: A storage unit stores, for each state of an information processing apparatus, pieces of correspondence information indicating either a correspondence relation between pieces of content identification information and time information indicating latest times when the contents are displayed, or a correspondence relation between the pieces of content identification information and frequency information representing display frequencies of the contents. A selection unit selects the correspondence information corresponding to a current state of the information processing apparatus. A determining unit determines, as display content information identifying the content to be displayed, content identification information out of the pieces of content identification information included in the selected correspondence information, based on the time information or the frequency information corresponding to the pieces of content identification information included in selected the correspondence information.
