Abstract: Health data management methods, a health data management device and a background device are provided. A health data management device can perform unified storage and unified processing for health data from different background devices by using the same data format, and health data of the same health type may have the same health index identifier. Therefore, the health data in different background devices may be interconnected, thereby improving flexibility and efficiency of use of the health data, reducing development costs, and improving development efficiency.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus for printing out one or more pages in an electronic file having color information in the form of at least one of character information and image information, includes an information acquiring unit configured to acquire at least one of the character information and the image information from the electronic file; and a blank page determining unit configured to determine whether a page in the electronic file is a blank page based on the color information of at least one of the character information and the image information acquired by the information acquiring unit. A page that is determined as being a blank page by the blank page determining unit is cancelled from being printed out.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus that generates printing data based on input manuscript data and prints the printing data is disclosed. According to the image processing apparatus, when assemble-printing is directed wherein two or more pages of manuscript data are to be assembled onto one sheet of printing paper, a magnification ratio to be applied to an assemble-printing domain for printing one page of the manuscript is acquired based on the number of pages to be assemble-printed onto one sheet, the width of a margin, and the size of a printable domain, and the printing data are generated according to the magnification ratio. The margin includes an outer margin that is the distance to an edge of the printable domain, and an inner margin that is the distance between pages to be assembled. Each of the outer and inner margins is specified as desired using a console panel.
