Abstract: A log output device includes a generation unit that generates a log indicating history information of execution of processing, a memory that stores a first list including first static information indicating that the processing is abnormal; a second list including second static information indicating that the processing is normal; and a third list including dynamic information to be used for determining the necessity of output of the log according to the log, and a selection unit that determines to output the generated log when the log has the first static information, and decides not to output the generated log when the log has the second static information. The selection unit determines the necessity of output of the generated log on the basis of the log and the third list.

Abstract: Provided is a data processing method in a data processing device that is connected to an external storage device and that is equipped with a storage device, the method including: receiving a writing instruction to store first data in the storage device; dividing the first data into multiple pieces of division data; storing at least one or more of the pieces of division data in the external storage device; and storing second data different from the first data in the storage device, in which the second data is associated with the first data and the multiple pieces of division data. With the data processing method, security in data management can be improved.

Abstract: It is an objective to diminish time required to read or write divided data. An information processing equipment that can be connected to a storage includes a division processing section for dividing original data into a plurality of sets of divided data and a storage location selection section that selects either the storage or a storage section of the information processing equipment as a divided data storage location and that stores the divided data into the selected storage location, wherein the division processing section determines a division ratio of divided data according to a data reading rate and/or a data writing rate of the storage location selected by the storage location selection section.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus is configured to receive image data from a scanner. A controller receives, from the scanner, a control file including a file name, receives, from the scanner, a document file, the document file including image data scanned by the scanner, analyzes the file name included in the received control file to obtain the file type of the received document file, and determines whether the application program associated with the obtained file type is stored in a memory. The controller also searches the memory to determine the application program associated with the obtained file type from application programs stored in the memory, starts the application program associated with the obtained file type, when it is determined that the application program associated with the obtained file type is stored in the memory, and opens the received document file without user input, based upon the application program determined in the search.

Abstract: PC broadcasts a search packet on a network (ST505), and waits for the response (ST506). A network scanner receives the search packet and determines whether or not the received search packet is a group name to be responded (ST507). When determining it as the group name to be responded, the network scanner sends back a search response packet to PC (ST509). When receiving the search response packet, PC transmits a registration packet to the network scanner. When receiving the registration packet, the network scanner extracts user terminal information from the registration packet (ST511) and registers it to address notebook data (ST512). After that, the network scanner transmits a registration response packet to PC (ST513).

Abstract: A user information registration program 68 of PC3 obtains current time from a built-in timer. Sequentially, the user information registration program 68 extracts one registration destination information from a registration destination table. The user information registration program 68 calculates lease end time from the sum of lease period and registration response reception time in extracted registration destination information and compares the calculation result with current time. If current time exceeds lease end time, the user information registration program 68 adds the IP address of network scanner 2 relating to the current registration destination to a response table 120. Sequentially, user information of PC3 is registered to the network scanner 2 (registration destination). The user information registration program 68 registers new user information to all registration destinations (network scanners 2) registered in the registration destination table.

Abstract: A multi-function system starts a WWW server by use of a WWW server section. When Java acceptable browser gains access to the WWW server, the WWW server section transfers an applet class file to Java acceptable browser. An applet is executed on the Java acceptable browser. The applet establishes a communication line between a TCP/IP processing section of a reception notify processing section and the applet, and a reception notify transmitting section notifies the applet of reception notification. The applet displays reception notification on PC. This makes it possible to notify an outer terminal of data reception in substantially real time.

Abstract: A multi-function system boots up a WWW server in which an applet is embedded. When a browser, which is executed on PCs, requests an HTTP file, the multi-function system transfers the HTML file and the applet. The browser executes the applet. The applet opens a TCP socket and starts communications between the multi-function and the applet. A status information obtaining section of the multi-function system obtains a status of each section of the multi-function system in response to a request from the applet, and the multi-function system notifies the applet of status information. The applet displays the status of each section. This makes it possible to send notification of the status of each section to PCs.

Abstract: An Lpd reception program 63 of PC receives an image file scanned by a network scanner. Thereafter, a link application deciding section 72 of an external application startup program 65 searches an external application managing table 74 using an extension of image file as a key, and decides a link application (external application) associated with the extension. The link application deciding section 72 instructs a startup command output section 73 to start up the link application. This starts up the link application automatically so as to display image information on PC.
