  • Publication number: 20230146069
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus issues a content display trigger if a predetermined event related to a user operation is received. When the content display trigger is issued, the image forming apparatus acquires web content from a content server based on path information set on a signage setting screen, and displays the acquired web content. If a hyperlink in the web content is pressed on the displayed web content, the image forming apparatus downloads content to be printed that is the linked content, and displays a print dialog on the web content. The image forming apparatus prints the content to be printed if an instruction to print the content to be printed is issued using the print dialog.

  • Publication number: 20220377188
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus transmits a request to a content server at a specific timing such as login, logout, auto-clear, print start. The image processing apparatus receives contents provided from the content server in response to the request, and displays the contents in an operation unit. If a user operating the image processing apparatus is specified by user authentication, the image processing apparatus adds information of the user to the request, and receives the content modified by the content server according to the information of the user from the content server and displays the modified contents.

  • Patent number: 10379798
    Abstract: The present information processing apparatus obtains synchronous data related to an authenticated user from a setting value management server 110, which is an external apparatus, and upon completion of the obtainment of the synchronous data, determines whether a screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on a display. Furthermore, if the screen related to the synchronous data has been displayed on the display, the information processing apparatus reflects the synchronous data in this screen upon accepting a predetermined operation from the user. On the other hand, if the screen related to the synchronous data is not displayed on the display, the information processing apparatus reflects the synchronous data when displaying the screen on the display.

  • Patent number: 9961233
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes first, second, and third setting units, and a display unit. The first setting unit sets a common initial screen according to an operation performed by a user having an administrator authority. The second setting unit sets an initial screen for each user according to an operation performed by each user. The third setting unit sets whether to display the initial screen for each user, according to an operation performed by the administrator authority user. Where the initial screen for each user is to be displayed, the display unit displays the initial screen set by the second setting unit when the information processing apparatus starts to be used. Where the initial screen for each user is not to be displayed, the display unit displays the initial screen set by the first setting unit when the information processing apparatus starts to be used.

  • Patent number: 9917983
    Abstract: When a user logs into an image forming apparatus, a setting by the user is registered as an operation history in an individual setting of the user if a setting mode is an “individual setting” and an operation history is registered in a device setting if the setting mode is a “device setting”. If a user does not log into the image forming apparatus, an operation history is registered in the device setting. If the setting mode is the “device setting”, an operation history is deleted from the device setting when the user logs out from the image forming apparatus.
