A function restriction management unit restricts at least part of a plurality of functions of the image forming apparatus stepwise at timing earlier than the shutdown execution date and time, and a message management unit notifies a user of a message whose content is differentiated in each of steps.

Abstract: When a data sharing server receives an instruction to share a first tab of a first web browser of an information processing apparatus serving as a sharing source with a second web browser of an information processing apparatus serving as a browsing terminal, the data sharing server transmits access data and data on session storage related to the first tab to the second web browser. The data sharing server deletes association between the data on the session storage and the information processing apparatus serving as the sharing source, and associates the data on the session storage with the information processing apparatus serving as the browsing terminal.

Abstract: An information processing terminal displays a confirmation screen for confirming whether to delete data relating to a web site, in a case where a movement from the web site on a web browser is detected, and if deleting is confirmed via the confirmation screen, the information processing terminal deletes data saved for the web site to release an area secured for the web site.

Abstract: A management system configured to collect operational information of network devices provided on a plurality of local networks includes a first management unit configured to separately manage the collected operational information in a plurality of tenants to which different access rights are set, a second management unit configured to tally and manage in group units a part of the operational information of the plurality of tenants managed separately by the first management unit, and a providing unit configured to provide the tallied operational information managed by the second management unit, wherein the second management unit manages the tallied operational information so as to hide or exclude a part of the tallied operational information.

Abstract: A device management system totals print result information for each customer user. The device management system receives a request including customer information from a client terminal, and responds to the client with a redirect URL for causing the client to access an image forming apparatus installed in an environment corresponding to customer information included in the request in order for user authentication of the client terminal. When the image forming apparatus accessed by the client terminal has succeeded the user authentication, the print result information relating to the user is provided to the client terminal.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus configured to allow an application to be executed includes a reception unit configured to receive setting information to be used in operation of the application, and a registration unit configured to register setting information in a managing area where a plurality of pieces of the setting information are collectively managed, and a transmission unit to transmit the setting information being associated with the registered application identification information.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a creating unit that creates a plurality of files different in file format from identical setting information stored in a storage unit of the apparatus, a receiving unit that receives at least one of the created plurality of files, a determination unit that determines a file to be used among the plurality of received files according to at least one of the file formats of the plurality of files and dates of updates of the plurality of files, and an updating unit that updates the stored setting information using the determined file.

Abstract: A device management system totals print result information for each customer user. The device management system receives a request including customer information from a client terminal, and responds to the client with a redirect URL for causing the client to access an image forming apparatus installed in an environment corresponding to customer information included in the request in order for user authentication of the client terminal. When the image forming apparatus accessed by the client terminal has succeeded the user authentication, the print result information relating to the user is provided to the client terminal.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing device which counts a use amount at a time when a user uses a data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the relevant user. The information processing device comprises: an input unit for inputting discrimination information of a first user; an acquisition unit for, after the discrimination information is input by the input unit, acquiring permission to count the use amount at a time when a second user uses the data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the first user, from said first user; and a counting unit for, in a case where the permission is acquired by the acquisition unit, counting the use amount at the time when the second user uses the data processing device, as the use amount corresponding to the first user.

Abstract: A system and method for registering an image forming apparatus in a print server when the image forming apparatus is used on a temporarily basis, and for unregistering the image forming apparatus from the print server after the temporary use ends.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus may include a conversion unit, a transmission unit, and an instruction unit. The conversion unit acquires document data from a document management apparatus in response to a conversion request transmitted from an external device in a case where it is detected that a predetermined document operation is performed on the document data and converts the acquired document data into print data to be used by an image forming apparatus to output the document data. The transmission unit transmits to the image forming apparatus the print data converted from the document data by the conversion unit. The instruction unit instructs the image forming apparatus to output document data transmitted from the transmission unit in response to an output request transmitted from the external device in a case where it is detected that an output operation of outputting the document data is performed.

Abstract: A destination table is updated on the basis of the use record of destination information in adaptation to the environment of a user. A device management server collects a destination table managed by each device from a device on a network. Then, the device management server checks the use record of the destination table collected from each image forming device, and determines a candidate to be deleted. Then, the device management server does not delete the destination table determined to be a deletion candidate when a number of times operations have been performed by the image forming device in a predetermined period is less than a threshold value. The device management server deletes the destination table of the determined candidate when the number of times operations have been performed by the image forming device in the predetermined period is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

Abstract: The function restriction information of a designated flow executor is acquired. The acquired function restriction information is analyzed. An operation screen that identifiably displays process contents executable by the flow executor in association with setting target functions to be set in the flow is displayed on the basis of the analyzed function restriction information. Process contents of a setting target function to be set in the flow are selected on the basis of an operation in the operation screen. The flow of the flow executor is generated by combining the functions of the selected process contents.
