Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a process unit, a heating unit, and a controller unit. The process unit is configured to transfer an image onto a sheet. The heating unit is configured to fix the image transferred at the process unit onto the sheet, and to transfer a transfer layer onto an image formed on a sheet overlaid on a multilayer film. The controller unit is capable of operating in a first printing mode in which processes of transferring an image at the process unit, fixing the image at the heating unit, and transferring the transfer layer at the heating unit are executed, and a second printing mode in which processes of transferring an image at the process unit and fixing the image at the heating unit are not executed, and a process of transferring the transfer layer at the heating unit is executed.

Abstract: The present invention registers a content so that its composition can be easily recognized, and promotes the reduction of a load in playing processing on the registered content, and improves convenience of users. Also, it evaluates the value of production of a content more properly. An information processing apparatus includes: a generator for generating meta information including content composition information representing a composition of a content to be registered, and mashed-up-or-not information representing whether a content to be registered is a unitary content or a mashed-up content in which a plurality of contents are combined; and a register for registering the generated meta information as content information.

Abstract: A system for performing a setting of a program downloaded from a server to a client is provided, which includes: a communication device performing data communications between the server and the client; and a storing device storing a predetermined program and a plurality of sets of setting information for the predetermined program, in which the server includes: a first receiver section receiving specifying information sent from the client via the communication device for specifying the setting information; and a first transmitter section reading out from the storing device the predetermined program and the setting information specified by the specifying information received from the client, and sending these to the client that is the origin of the specifying information via the communication device, and in which the client includes: a second transmitter section sending the specifying information to the server via the communication device; a second receiver section receiving the predetermined program and the se
