Abstract: In a case where a single image is formed by reading one or more reading sheets multiple times, and if the reading sheets are not appropriately placed on a document platen, images of the plurality of reading sheets formed in the single image do not match each other in up, down, left, and right or vertical and horizontal relationships desired by a user. An image forming apparatus includes a display unit configured to, based on a direction of a character string obtained from an image obtained by reading a first surface and a direction of a character string obtained from an image obtained by reading a second surface, display information regarding whether a direction of a reading sheet relative to a predetermined reference is excellent or poor.

Abstract: A management system manages, for each of a plurality of users who use a social network service, account information, identification information associated with biological information, and a public key; sends, in accordance with an instruction related to money transfer to another user, a demand of authentication processing to the terminal of the user; receives, as a response to the demand, the identification information associated with the biological information and signature data created using a private key held in a storage unit having a tamper resistance in the terminal when the authentication processing using the biological information of the user succeeds; verifies, using the public key corresponding to the received identification information, the received signature data; and generates, based on a result of the verification, a message about the instruction.

Abstract: An information processing system including a device information topic that receives a message by using a network device serving as a publisher and a success confirmation topic for delivering a message indicating the success of message processing by using the network device serving as a subscriber is provided. The information processing system registers the processing result in an information management service in response to the completion of the processing in the immediate processing action and the non-immediate processing action of the first message that has been delivered by the device information topic, and in accordance with the processing result, the information processing system delivers a second message indicating the success of the processing of the first message to the success confirmation topic.

Abstract: An image file naming rule is set by setting each of a plurality of items that configure a file name. It is determined whether or not any one of the plurality of items includes an item for which information that defines the file name to be unique is set. If it is determined that none of the plurality of items includes the item for which information that defines the file name to be unique is set upon changing information set in a target item of the plurality of items, information that can be set for the target item is restricted.

Abstract: When an image processing apparatus performs a transmission function of transmitting image data generated by reading a document with a scanner, to a cost management apparatus, the image processing apparatus registers cost information and the image data in the cost management apparatus, the cost information corresponding to user's operation time incurred to perform the transmission function.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, which communicates with a server, comprises: a receiving unit which receives character string information and a data file to be associated with the character string information from a user; an extraction unit which extracts a data file similar to the data file received by the receiving unit and character string information associated with the similar data file by searching information managed by the server; an acquisition unit which acquires tag information appended to the character string information extracted by the extraction unit; and a registration unit which appends the tag information acquired by the acquisition unit to the character string information received by the receiving unit, and registers the character string information appended with the tag information and the data file received by the receiving unit in the server in association with each other.

Abstract: There are provided an information processing system for providing a user with an authentication screen suitable for an authentication apparatus connected to an image processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, an information processing apparatus, a control method therefor, and a program. When a user requests a login operation, the image processing apparatus generates a login request containing authentication apparatus information indicating an authentication apparatus for authenticating the user, which is connected to the image processing apparatus, and notifies the information processing apparatus of the login request. On the other hand, when the login request is sent, the information processing apparatus generates screen information of an authentication screen for executing authentication using the authentication apparatus indicated by the authentication apparatus information, and notifies the image processing apparatus of the generated screen information.
