Abstract: An information processing apparatus is connectable to a server via a network, and includes an acquisition unit, a first display control unit, a storage unit, and a permission control unit. The acquisition unit acquires a first screen including an execution procedure of a first command from the server. The first display control unit performs control to display the first screen acquired by the acquisition unit. The storage unit stores therein one or more pieces of command information indicating information on a command permitted to be executed. The permission control unit does not permit execution of the first command when the one or more pieces of command information stored in the storage unit include no command information corresponding to the execution procedure of the first command selected from the first screen.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a screen information request receiver, an application identification information specifying unit, a screen information transmitter. The screen information request receiver receives, from a device, a screen information request used to request screen information for providing an application. The screen information includes at least dealer information representing a dealer that sells the device. The application identification information specifying unit specifies application identification information corresponding to the dealer information included in the screen information request based on application correspondence relation information representing a correspondence relation between the dealer information and the application identification information identifying an application available to the device.

Abstract: An information processing system includes an information processing apparatus and a server. A acquisition unit of the apparatus acquires a first screen. A display unit of the apparatus displays the first screen. When a button to which an instruction is attached is pressed, a determination request information transmission unit of the apparatus transmits, to the server, determination request information requesting a validity determination to determine whether the application associated with the instruction can be used in the information processing apparatus. A reception unit of the apparatus receives, from the server, determination result information. When the determination result information indicates that the application associated with the instruction cannot be used, a first control unit of the apparatus performs control to update firmware. A determining unit of the server performs the validity determination.

Abstract: An information processing system includes an information processing apparatus, a server, first and second obtaining units, an addition unit, and a second processing unit. The first obtaining unit obtains second information indicating first information held by the server when the information processing apparatus has not previously included the first information to perform second processing necessary for first processing. When receiving a first request for requesting to perform the first processing, the second obtaining unit obtains token information indicating the presence of the authority to use the second information. When the second obtaining unit has obtained the token information, the addition unit adds the token information to a second request for requesting to perform the second processing. Only when the token information has been added to the second request, the second processing unit performs the second processing by using the second information.

Abstract: An information processing system includes an obtaining unit, a first specifying unit, and a display controlling unit. The obtaining unit obtains apparatus specifying information for uniquely specifying an apparatus. The first specifying unit specifies application identifying information associated with the apparatus specifying information obtained by the obtaining unit, based on first correspondence information in which each piece of apparatus specifying information is associated with application identifying information for identifying an application available to the apparatus specified according to the apparatus specifying information. The display controlling unit performs control to display an application list screen to provide the application identified according to the application identifying information specified by the first specifying unit on the apparatus specified according to the apparatus specifying information obtained by the obtaining unit.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method executes instructions for receiving or retrieving image files. A first image file corresponds to both a scaling article image having one or more known dimension(s) and to a target article image submitted by a consumer or a vendor. Contours are determined for each article image to obtain one or more pixel dimension(s) for each article image. The pixel dimension(s) for the scaling article image are related to its known dimension(s) to obtain scaled pixel dimensions for the target article image. A consumer profile is generated which includes at least one of a set of curves that represent the determined contours and a set of control points, measure lines and control lines to represent the measurement of the reference article. Access to the profile facilitates creation of new articles for the consumer and/or assessment of how an article having a similarly derived profile will fit.

The acquiring unit acquires first information that includes image data. The first determining unit determines the translation source language that indicates the language used in the image data in accordance with the result of a character recognition operation during which a character included in the image data is recognized and text data is generated. The second determining unit determines that the language used for a display in an information processing apparatus is the translation target language. The translating unit performs a translation operation to convert text data that is represented by using the translation source language into text data that is represented by using the translation target language.
