Abstract: An information processing system including one or more information processing apparatus includes one or more service providing units to provide a service to a first terminal device; and a license management unit to manage a license temporarily registered from a second terminal device. The service providing unit includes a first storage unit to preserve license information of the license managed by the license management unit; a second storage unit to store a copy of the license information; and a validation unit to receive a request to make the license valid from the first terminal device, to make the temporarily registered license information stored in the second storage unit valid, and to request to make the temporarily registered license information preserved in the first storage unit valid. The service is provided for the first terminal device based on the license having made valid.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a file management unit that manages files for image output, a file registration unit that registers the files, an output-configuration-information management unit that manages output configuration information, an output-configuration-information registration unit that registers the output configuration information, a data creation unit that creates the data in accordance with the output configuration information, and an output determination unit. When the file registration unit registers each of the files to the file management unit, the output determination unit determines whether the combined image can be outputted in accordance with certain output conditions. The output-configuration-information management unit registers predetermined output configuration information for the combined image and adds an output condition of the file that can be outputted to the output configuration information of the combined image.

Abstract: An information display device includes a location obtaining part configured to obtain location information, a communication part configured to communicate with at least one other information display device through a network, a setting management part configured to determine setting information corresponding to the location information based on setting management information stored in a memory part of the at least one other information display device in response to an operation from a user, a display part configured to display information; and a control part configured to control an output of the information displayed on the display part by using the setting information.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a foreign language dictionary, an input unit through which a user input a letter, a determination unit, a storage unit storing notation information about the letter, a search unit, a converter, and an output unit. The foreign language dictionary stores each foreign word in one of uppercase, lowercase, and a combination of at least one uppercase letter and at least one lowercase letter. The determination unit determines whether a letter input through the input unit is uppercase or lowercase. The search unit searches the foreign language dictionary for a word corresponding to an initially input string of letters in the order in which the letters are input. The converter converts a notation of each letter included in the word retrieved by the search unit according to the notation information. The output unit outputs the word in a notation converted by the converter as a candidate word.

Abstract: An output control apparatus that includes a network interface that connects to an output device, a storing unit that stores a document and output control information indicating whether each page of the document is permitted to be output on the output device, and an output document control unit that determines, when a request for obtaining the stored document is received from the output device, which page images of the document are permitted to be output on the output device based on the output control information and the output device and that sends to the output device each page image which is determined to be permitted to be output on the output device.

Abstract: An information display apparatus, including: a question management unit that adds identification management information to question information, the question information including (1) a question which is asked with designating an image displayed by the display unit and (2) a question target page; a question image generating unit that generates a question image based on the question information; an operation unit that accepts requests from an external source; a page management unit that determines an order of the question target page for displaying based on the identification management information and that composes the display image with the question image to generate a composed image based on the determined order; and a display unit that displays the composed image.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a file management unit that manages files for image output, a file registration unit that registers the files, an output-configuration-information management unit that manages output configuration information, an output-configuration-information registration unit that registers the output configuration information, a data creation unit that creates the data in accordance with the output configuration information, and an output determination unit. When the file registration unit registers each of the files to the file management unit, the output determination unit determines whether the combined image can be outputted in accordance with certain output conditions. The output-configuration-information management unit registers predetermined output configuration information for the combined image and adds an output condition of the file that can be outputted to the output configuration information of the combined image.
