Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

Abstract: A developing device includes a housing, a developing roller, and a blade. The housing includes a developer chamber and an opening. The developing roller is disposed in the developer chamber, such that a part of the developing roller in a rotational direction thereof is exposed to an outside of the opening. The developer roller includes a sleeve rotatable around a shaft and a magnetic element. The magnetic element has a magnetic polarity opposite to that of a developer and is disposed at an entrance rotational position of the developer roller at which a sleeve region of the sleeve goes into the developer chamber from the outside of the opening. The blade is positioned near a surface of the sleeve to regulate a thickness of the developer on the surface of the sleeve. The thickness of the developer regulated on the sleeve region at the entrance rotational position by the blade is equal to or greater than 0.6 mm and equal to or less than 1.4 mm.
