Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus including: a body casing; a toner image forming section including an image carrier and a transferring section; a fixing section; a heater; a temperature sensor; and a controller. In a case that the temperature is higher than a predetermined threshold value, the controller controls the image carrier and the transferring section such that a conveying velocity of the print medium by the image carrier and the transferring section becomes a first conveying velocity. In a case that the temperature is lower than the predetermined threshold value, the controller controls the image carrier and the transferring section such that the conveying velocity of the print medium by the image carrier and the transferring section becomes a second conveying velocity slower than the first conveying velocity.

Abstract: There is provided a server or the like capable of improving an estimated accuracy of a user common among a plurality of clients. According to the present invention, while a unique identifier is assigned to each of clients 210 and 220, the unique identifier is merely for identifying the client. Thus, a user of each of the clients 210 and 220 is not specified by the unique identifier, and protection of his or her privacy or personal information is ensured. Among factors of each client 210 and 220, the plurality of factors having designated relationship thereamong are extracted. A plurality of unique identifiers respectively corresponding to the extracted factors are associated with one another and are stored in the server storage device 10.

Abstract: An information management system collects and manages information on a charging stand that allows a user to effectively utilize the time during charging. The information management system acquires, from a probe information management device that stores location information of a vehicle and battery residual capacity information of a battery provided in the vehicle, the location information of the vehicle and the battery residual capacity of the vehicle; and acquires, from a user operation terminal operated by a user who gets on the vehicle, destination information indicating a location of a destination of the vehicle input by the user and information on what the user wants to do during charging of the vehicle. A storage unit stores the location information of the vehicle and the battery residual capacity information in association with the destination information of the vehicle and the information on what the user wants to do during the charging.
