The personalized data is stored in the storage area at the time when access is performed by the user. | 08-19-2010 |
20100302572 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM - Function information related to a plurality of kinds of functions arranged in a first image forming apparatus is acquired. The acquired function information is displayed. A desired function is designated from the displayed functions. A document containing the identification information is read on the basis of the designated function. The read document image is transmitted to the first image forming apparatus through a network. The identification information of original data corresponding to the document image is received from the first image forming apparatus through the network. | 12-02-2010 |
20100309524 | JOB PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention provides a job processing apparatus which allows a plurality of users to log in, the apparatus including a detection unit configured to detect that a plurality of users has logged in, an accepting unit configured to accept a job execution instruction from a user, a display unit configured to, when the detection unit detects that a plurality of users has logged in, display the plurality of logged-in users so as to be able to identify a user who issues a job execution instruction to be accepted by the accepting unit, among the plurality of logged-in users, and a processing unit configured to, when the user is identified based on the display by the display unit and the accepting unit accepts the job execution instruction, execute a job corresponding to the execution instruction as a job by the identified user. | 12-09-2010 |
20110002003 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus restricts the use of functions on a user-by-user basis as well as easily suppresses the realization of a function that is equivalent to a restricted function by combining other functions. To accomplish this, an image processing system includes an image processing apparatus and an information processing apparatus that includes function restriction information for restricting, on a user-by-user basis, the use of functions provided by an image processing apparatus. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus acquires function restriction information corresponding to an authorized user, and if a function whose use is restricted by function restriction information can be realized by combining other functions, the image processing apparatus restricts the use of the other functions. | 01-06-2011 |
20110072322 | SYSTEM, USER INTERFACE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, SERVER, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A server provides a file to display a user interface to an information processing apparatus in accordance with a request from the information processing apparatus, and instructs the information processing apparatus to send the device information of the information processing apparatus to the server. The information processing apparatus acquires the device information of the information processing apparatus in accordance with the instruction, and sends, to the server, the device information of the information processing apparatus together with the request of the file to display the user interface. The server receives the device information of the information processing apparatus, and provides, to the information processing apparatus, the file to display the user interface based on the device information of the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus displays, based on the provided file, the user interface based on the device information of the information processing apparatus. | 03-24-2011 |
20110072356 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, USER INTERFACE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - The device information of an information processing apparatus is acquired. It is determined, based on the acquired device information, whether a function of the information processing apparatus is usable. Upon determining that the function of the information processing apparatus is usable, a file to display the execution instruction window of processing using the function of the information processing apparatus is requested of the server. On the other hand, upon determining that the function of the information processing apparatus is not usable, a file to display a warning window is requested from the server. | 03-24-2011 |
20120011494 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An apparatus saves first and second programs stored in a storage unit as saved information before the first and the second programs are updated. If the update of the first program is finished and then an error occurs while the second program is being updated, the information processing apparatus restores the second program which is being updated to the program yet to be updated based on the saved information and also restores the first program whose update is finished to the program yet to be updated based on the saved information. | 01-12-2012 |
20140025974 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SERVER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A periodic update time is saved on an SRAM | 01-23-2014 |
20140160508 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A printing apparatus determines whether software to be updated is software related to a GUI display function. If the software to be updated is determined to be software related to the GUI display function, the printing apparatus performs control to display information about a status of the own apparatus during execution of the update by using a CUI display function. | 06-12-2014 |
20140373002 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT PERFORMS UPDATE OF SOFTWARE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus which is capable of, when in software updating, a need to perform an additional update arises in addition to regular updates, efficiently performing the updates. First time information indicative of a first time at which update firmware is obtained from an external server is applied is set, and second time information indicative of a second time at which the update firmware obtained from the external server is applied to the information processing apparatus is set. When update firmware is obtained based on the first time information, the update firmware is applied to the information processing apparatus at the second time indicated by the second time information. When a need to perform an additional update of firmware arises, additional update firmware relating to the additional update is applied to the information processing apparatus earlier than the second time indicated by the second time information. | 12-18-2014 |
