  • Patent number: 11836409
    Abstract: In a printing system including a printing apparatus and a server that manages information about the printing apparatus, the printing apparatus transmits, to the server, monitoring information indicating a usage state of the printing apparatus. In a case where the server determines that the usage state of the printing apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition based on the monitoring information received from the printing apparatus, the server delivers, to the printing apparatus, a device setting to prohibit reception of a print job without going through the server. In a case where the printing apparatus receives the delivered device setting, the printing apparatus prohibits the reception of the print job without going through the server.

  • Patent number: 11122028
    Abstract: An authorization server to issue an access token for accessing a resource provided by a resource server performs operations. A client receives an issuance request having a predetermined parameter identifying a type of access token to be issued. Based on the predetermined parameter, one of a first type or second type of access token to be verified by the resource server is issued. The first type of access token or the second type of access token is transmitted to the client from which the issuance request was received. The second type of access token is verified at the authorization server by receipt of a verification request received together with the second type of access token from the resource server. The received verification request is transmitted from the resource server based on the resource server determining that a request for service from the client includes the second type of access token.

  • Patent number: 9430623
    Abstract: At the time of license authentication for a PC software product, an inquiry about the license authentication date of an MFP software product included in a combined product is made to an MFP in which the MFP software is installed, and the license authentication date of the earlier date information is deemed as the start date of a maintenance contract. A license management method is provided in which if the PC software product is released within the term of the maintenance contract, the PC software product is made usable.

  • Patent number: 9100513
    Abstract: A process to generate a request for a copy process occurs at the side of a Web server before the copying is actually started since a user has selected the copy function of an MFP. If the user instructs logout from the MFP during the process, it is determined that the user has no right because the authentication context of the user is deleted from the MFP. Accordingly, it is not possible for the user to perform the copying. Upon logout of the user from an image processing apparatus, if a processing request that is received is generated by an external apparatus on the basis of operation information transmitted in accordance with an operation by the login user, the image processing is permitted to be performed in response to the processing request.

  • Patent number: 8947701
    Abstract: For a web application requiring a time to execute processing, it is necessary to maintain Internet connection between a web browser and the web application until the processing is completed. Conventionally, the connection is maintained by causing the web browser to inquire a web application server about the execution state of the processing at regular intervals. In this case, however, the web browser cannot execute another different web application until the processing in the web application server is completed. In this invention, a web application server provides processing of converting from document data into print data as a software process asynchronous to a web application and the web application only accepts an execution request for the conversion processing.
