Abstract: An information processing system (10) comprises: a rotation control unit (110) that makes a first camera (18) and a second camera (19) having a same rotation axis rotate on the rotation axis depending on a position of a target to be imaged; an acquisition unit (120) that acquires a first living body information from an image taken by the first camera and acquires a second living body information from an image taken by the second camera; an authentication unit (130) that executes authentication processing using the first living body information and the second living body information; and an execution unit (140) that executes, in a case that the authentication processing is successful, predetermined processing in a facility that the target uses. By such an information processing system, it is possible to execute authentication processing on the target with high accuracy and appropriately execute the predetermined processing.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a user interface of an application, wherein the user interface includes an object for displaying a user interface of a printer driver. The apparatus further includes a receiving unit configured to receive default values of print settings via the user interface of the printer driver displayed by designating the object. A creation unit is configured to create a file for installing a customized printer driver based on the received default values, wherein a user interface of the customized printer driver installed using the created file is displayed based on the received default values.

Abstract: There is disclosed an information processing method including: a step of displaying a setting window, which includes customizable items, of a device driver; a step of registering items set using the setting window as customized items; a step of writing the customized items in user interface-related data of the device driver; and a user interface display step of displaying a user interface of the device driver with reference to the user interface-related data upon launching the device driver.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus, in a case where a print setting for printing an image on a preprinted surface of a preprinted sheet has been set and a surface of the sheet read by a reading unit is a preprinted surface, executes printing on the sheet. The image forming apparatus, in a case where a print setting for printing an image on an unprinted surface of a preprinted sheet has been set and a surface of the sheet read by the reading unit is not a preprinted surface, executes printing on the sheet.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus and method for reading an image of a document and preventing an image from being printed on the document if a sheet type of the document is not suitable for printing. The method includes reading an image of a conveyed document, detecting a sheet type of the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is the predetermined sheet type, an image to be printed on the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is not a predetermined sheet type, an image not to be printed on the conveyed document.

Abstract: A printing apparatus capable of connecting a post-processing apparatus includes a printing unit configured to convey an envelope so that the long edge of the envelope can become a leading edge in conveyance direction and print an image on the envelope. When the post-processing apparatus is connected, the printing apparatus restricts from conveying the envelope so that the long edge of the envelope becomes the leading edge in conveyance direction for printing the image on the envelope.

Abstract: According to the present invention, even if information on a page displayed on a browser browsed by a user shifts to another page, the user can select and store a necessary page. An information processing apparatus according to the present invention generates, when displaying information obtained via a network on a display unit, print information of the information displayed on the display unit based on a print instruction from the browser, and further stores the generated print information in a storage unit. When a destination from which the information is obtained is different from a just primarily preceding destination, the display unit displays a list of the information stored in the storage unit.

Abstract: There is disclosed an information processing method including: a step of displaying a setting window, which includes customizable items, of a device driver; a step of registering items set using the setting window as customized items; a step of writing the customized items in user interface-related data of the device driver; and a user interface display step of displaying a user interface of the device driver with reference to the user interface-related data upon launching the device driver.
