Abstract: An apparatus, method, system, computer program and product, which are capable of controlling an operating system message. The operating system message, generated by an operating system, is obtained. When a destination application, which has requested or may request for the operating system message is found, the operating system is converted to an application message readable to or executable by the destination application. The application message may be sent to the destination application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is operable to be connected to a first external apparatus and one or more second external apparatuses. The first external apparatus receives and stores therein a job and first identification information. The one or more second external apparatus transmits second identification information to the first external apparatus, acquires and executes the job associated with the first identification information specified based on the second identification information. The information processing apparatus includes: a job transmitting unit that transmits the job and the first identification information to the first external apparatus; a requesting unit that requests state information from the first external apparatus; and a state receiving unit that receives state information, indicating a first stage in which the job is accumulated in the first external apparatus and a second stage in which the job is executed, as the state information.

Abstract: A door opening and closing device for a vehicle is provided in which a pivoting force of a rotor pivoting in response to a key operation of a cylinder lock is transmitted to a key operating force input member side of a door lock device via a pivot rod, wherein pivoting force transmission means (18) is provided between a pivot rod (17) and the key operating force input member, the pivoting force transmission means (18) being formed by housing within an extension case (103) a driven-side pivot member detachably linked to the key operating force input member in a relatively non-pivotable manner, a drive-side pivot member detachably linked to the other end part of the pivot rod (17) in a relatively non-pivotable manner, and a transmission member transmitting a pivoting force from the drive-side pivot member to the driven-side pivot member, and the extension case (103) is detachably mounted on a casing (25A) of a door lock device (16A) so as to extend from the casing (25A).

Abstract: A storage unit stores flow definition data defining process flow of at least one process for data input from a data input apparatus. A communication unit controls transmission/reception of data between the data input apparatus and an arbitrary apparatus connected via a network. A flow-execution control unit controls execution of the at least one process based on the flow definition data. A flow-definition-data control unit defines an upload mode to avoid a data overwrite when a file of an identical name exists upon uploading the data to the arbitrary apparatus, sets the upload mode in the flow definition data, and stores it in the storage unit.

Abstract: In an information-processing device connected through a network to external devices which provide predetermined services respectively, and to one or more authentication devices each including an authentication unit which authenticates a user who uses the services of the external devices, service-provision units provide the user with mutually different interfaces to the services of the external devices respectively. An authentication control unit requests, in response to an authentication request from the service-provision units, the user to input user information, and transmits to one of the authentication devices a request for performing an authentication processing based on the user information.
