Abstract: An information processing system includes a first information processing apparatus that outputs a sound of a predetermined frequency; and a second information processing apparatus that collects the sound that is output from the first information processing apparatus, and outputs a response to the sound of the predetermined frequency to the first information processing apparatus. The first information processing apparatus transmits predetermined data to the second information processing apparatus that has output the response to the sound of the predetermined frequency.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which controls transmission and reception of information is provided. The information processing apparatus includes a transmitting and receiving unit which transmits and receives, as the information, at least one of voice information, video information, and screen information; a necessity identifying information defining unit which allocates necessity identifying information for detecting a state of the information processing apparatus and identifying presence/absence of a necessity of transmitting and receiving the voice information, the video information, and the screen information in accordance with the detected result; and a bandwidth control unit which determines a bandwidth to be allocated to each of the voice information, the video information, and the screen information to be transmitted and received, based on the necessity identifying information.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a motion determining unit and a data processing unit. The motion determining unit detects a predetermined motion of a mobile terminal. The data processing unit selects a device to perform a device cooperation process with and to communicate with the mobile terminal based on a predetermined sound output by one or more devices, which are positioned nearby the mobile terminal, when the motion determining unit detects the predetermined motion of the mobile terminal. The predetermined sound are different for each of the devices.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit, a converting unit, an image-forming unit, a storage unit, and a control unit. The communication unit receives a print job. The converting unit converts print data of the print job to image data. The image-forming unit forms an image based on the image data. The storage unit stores therein a receipt log (access log) and an image forming log (print log) of the print job. The control unit checks, after the receipt log is stored in the storage unit, whether an available space on the storage unit is equal to or more than a predetermined size, and suspends receipt of a new print job when the available space is less than the predetermined size.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate generally to an apparatus, method, system, computer program and product, each capable of managing information regarding a plurality of recording sheet types available for use by an image forming apparatus.
