Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a processing unit, an instruction unit, a detection unit, and a suspension unit. The processing unit performs a process that is predetermined. The instruction unit gives an instruction to start the process to the processing unit. The detection unit detects a sound in the vicinity of the processing apparatus. The suspension unit suspends the process in a case where the detection unit detects a predetermined sound while the processing unit is performing the process.

Abstract: There is provided an antitheft apparatus. An approach detector is disposed on an apparatus where consumables are mounted, and detects a person who approaches the corresponding apparatus. An image acquisition unit acquires a captured image of the person when the person's approaching is detected by the approach detector. A detector detects that the consumables are stolen from the apparatus. A recording unit, when the stealing is detected by the detector, matches an image which is captured by a capturing apparatus at a most recent time before the detecting, with information of the detection, and records the image and the information.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a verification unit and an execution unit. The verification unit verifies biometric information acquired from users against preregistered reference information. The execution unit executes a process based on the number of times biometric information has been verified on a user basis in a predetermined period by the verification unit.
