Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to connect to an external service that manages a user's activity history, acquire first data related to the user's activity history from the external service, and receive second data related to the user's health that is measured by a biometric sensor. The circuitry is configured to store, in the memory, aggregation setting information in which information used for aggregation of the first data and the second data is set for one or more aggregation items, for each of which the first data and the second data are aggregated and displayed. The circuitry is configured to generate aggregated data corresponding to at least one aggregation item selected by the user. The circuitry is configured to output the generated aggregated data corresponding to the at least one aggregation item selected by the user.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to identify a particular data item as a basis for aggregation of a report to be output, based on aggregation basis information that indicates one or more data items usable as bases for aggregating data to be contained in the report, among data available to a user. The data available to the user are identified based on service contract information that indicates one or more services available to the user and data definition information that indicates data generated for each of the one or more services. The circuitry is further configured to output the report aggregated using the identified particular data item as the basis.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methodologies, for an administrator to configure a flexible document workflow are provided. A workflow creation interface may be provided on a terminal (e.g., via application software) for an administrator to create and register document workflow profiles. Such workflow creation interface may be configured to include a processing location selector to receive selection by the administrator of (i) a processing location amongst plural processing locations or (ii) automatic determination. Such processing location selection may be on a connector-by-connector basis or for the entire workflow. For example, the administrator can register multiple versions of a workflow, to be processed at respective processing locations. As another example, a hybrid workflow can be created in which some workflow connectors or components are performed at one location acid other workflow connectors or components are performed at another location.

Abstract: An information processor is disclosed that includes an authentication part configured to authenticate a user based on predetermined information; an information obtaining part configured to obtain first information to be used to authenticate the user from an external device; and an authentication control part configured to cause the authentication part to authenticate the user by inputting information based on the first information to the authentication part as the predetermined information. The information obtaining part is configured to obtain the first information using a program module whose correlation with the information obtaining part is recorded in a recording medium.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a user information managing part that manages registered user information, an authentication part that performs user authentication using the registered user information managed by the user information managing part, an external authentication part that controls an external computer to perform authentication on user information input via an input interface and acquires authenticated user information from the computer when the input user information is successfully authenticated by the computer, and a registration part that registers the authenticated user information acquired by the external authentication part in the user information managing part as the registered user information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an ID acquisition part configured to acquire a card ID readable by a card reader. A correspondence information management part manages correspondence information between the card ID and user identification information. A user information acquisition part acquires the user identification information corresponding to the card ID acquired by the card ID acquisition part from the correspondence information management part, and acquires a password of a user corresponding to the acquired user identification information. An authentication control part causes an authentication process of the user to be executed in accordance with the acquired user identification information and the acquired password.
