Abstract: An image file naming rule is set by setting each of a plurality of items that configure a file name, and it is determined whether or not any one of the plurality of items satisfies a predetermined condition. If it is determined that none of the plurality of items satisfies the predetermined condition, an item including information that satisfies the predetermined condition is added to the file name.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is capable of, whenever a new image processing apparatus is put on sale, remotely controlling the image processing apparatus without performing maintenance on the information processing apparatus. A display unit displays a first screen corresponding to an operation screen displayed on at least one image processing apparatus and a second screen corresponding to the hardware key which the at least image processing apparatus has. A holding unit holds a plurality of image of hardware keys corresponding to the hardware key which the at least image processing apparatus has. A display control unit selects an image of a hardware key corresponding to a hardware key which an image processing apparatus performing communication via a communication unit has from among at least one image of a hardware key held in the holding unit, and displays the second screen using the selected image of the hardware key.

Abstract: A system comprises a plurality of image forming apparatuses, wherein a first image forming apparatus includes: a correspondence determination unit that determines which function in the first image forming apparatus the service provider of the first image forming apparatus corresponds to; a provider determination unit that determines a second image forming apparatus in the plurality of image forming apparatuses that includes the same service provider as the service provider of the first image forming apparatus; a license verification unit that verifies whether license information is assigned to the service provider of the second image forming apparatus determined by the provider determination unit; and an assignment unit that assigns, to the second image forming apparatus to which the license information is not assigned, license information of the service provider from the first image forming apparatus to the second image forming apparatus and server relation information that is information for accessing a ser

Abstract: An object list LO in which information of each object included in a structured document has been collected in a list format is formed. Objects in which a distance in the vertical direction of a document is equal to a threshold value or less are included in one object group and the objects in the object group G are grouped as one group. After that, in the case where a length in the horizontal direction of each of circumscribed rectangles of two or more objects included in the object group G is equal to a length in the vertical direction or more and a length in the horizontal direction of at least one of the two or more objects is smaller than a threshold value, a block reforming process is executed. In the block reforming process, among the objects in the object group G, the objects in which the distance in the horizontal direction is equal to the threshold value or less are grouped as one object group GC.

Abstract: A document providing computer creates a JDF file and a PDF file, and associates them by embedding a path to the PDF file in the JDF file (S000). When guaranteeing this combination, a hash calculation is performed for the JDF file, and the obtained hash value is embedded in the PDF file. The PDF file, except for the embedded hash value, is then encrypted using as a key the obtained hash value (S003). With a computer for printing the document, the PDF file is decrypted using the embedded hash value, and the hash value is re-calculated and compared with the embedded hash value, thus validating the correctness of the combination.
