Abstract: A system includes an access management server and a cooperation server, wherein the access management server comprises issuance unit that issues a token corresponding to the managed user account in response to a request of the cooperation server, and deletion unit that deletes a user account, of the managed user accounts, which satisfies a predefined deletion condition, and the cooperation server comprises acquisition unit that acquires, when acquisition of a token corresponding to the user account managed by the access management server is requested by another server, if the deletion unit has not deleted the user account, an issued token corresponding to the user account, and to cause, if the deletion unit has already deleted the user account, the access management server to re-register the user account to acquire a token issued for the re-registered user account.

Abstract: A printing system includes a web application of a server apparatus to respond to a browser of a client apparatus and provides a print service to the client apparatus by controlling first and second data processing apparatuses in charge of the print service. The server apparatus requests the first data processing apparatus to store the document information in response determining that an edition service is registered to document information acquired from the browser. The second data processing apparatus applies layout adjustment processing to the document information to obtain a layout adjustment having a reduced number of pages value. The second data processing apparatus additionally compares the reduced number of pages value and a threshold value to determine whether reduced page printing is to be performed. If reduced page printing is not to be performed, the first data processing apparatus is instructed to delete a result of stored layout adjustment processing.

Abstract: A device management system that manages specific information for specifying a plurality of image forming apparatuses that are the object of management, manages identification information corresponding to the image forming apparatus by association with the specific information, requests information related to power consumption of the image forming apparatus from the power management system by use of the identification information that is managed by a second management means and manages information related to acquired power consumption by association with the specific information for the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image-forming apparatus is capable of communicating with a server apparatus for performing a workflow. The image-forming apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive definition information of a flow defined in a workflow from the server apparatus and a control unit configured to control display of a screen of the image-forming apparatus based on the flow definition information received by the receiving unit. The image-forming apparatus further includes a notification unit configured to notify the server apparatus of a completion of the flow by the image-forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which communicates with an information processing apparatus includes a display unit which is used to input an instruction to cause the information processing apparatus to execute a dynamic layout function of dynamically determining a layout on the basis of template data so as to form an image by using template data including insertion data and layout information, a transmission unit which transmits, to the information processing apparatus, specifying information to be used when processing is performed by using the dynamic layout function, a reception unit which receives dynamically laid out data, and an output unit which outputs the received data.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus that is capable of improving the accuracy with which form types can be identified. An image file of a form and an additional file including a form type ID of the form are inputted. A character recognition process on the image file is carried out based on the form type ID. The image file and a result obtained in the character recognition process are stored in a storage device 103.
