20080266578 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, WORKFLOW TESTING METHOD AND WORKFLOW TESTING PROGRAM - An image processing apparatus comprising: a test data generator that generates test data instead of actual data entered for executing a workflow consisting of a plurality of unit works, if an instruction is given to test the workflow; a test process executor that executes a test process by processing the generated test data according to parameters for executing the unit works; a test process suspender that suspends the test process if a trouble happens during the test process; a notifier that notifies a user of a trouble if it happens during the test process; a parameter modifier that is capable of modifying the parameters if the test process is suspended due to the trouble; and a test process resuming portion that resumes the test process after the parameters are modified. | 10-30-2008 |
20080267395 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATION PROCESSING - To provide an apparatus and a method for encrypted communication processing in inter-node communication on a network capable of performing effective encrypted communication with improved security. In the inter-node multicast communication on the network, by first setting one or more of encryption keys, it can be avoided to deteriorate, by the procedure for an encrypted communication, the condition where the multicast communication is possible. Therefore, the multicast by the effective encrypted communication with improved security becomes possible. | 10-30-2008 |
20090013071 | Provision Information Notification Apparatus, Provision Information Notification Method and Software Program - An apparatus and method is provided which enable a user using a plurality of terminals to obtain information in a convenient manner compared to conventional systems. An image forming apparatus includes a notification setting database | 01-08-2009 |
20090083373 | PUBLICIZED INFORMATION USE APPARATUS, PUBLICIZED INFORMATION USE METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - An image forming device | 03-26-2009 |
20090271630 | AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION METHOD AND TERMINAL DEVICE - Provided are an authentication method, authentication system and a terminal device in which the authentication of a non-participating third node is can be simplified and can be executed in the case of multicast by using an authentication ticket in a distributed processing network system, the non-participating third node being intended to access each of the nodes, including a first and a second node, constituting a workgroup. The first node that has already participated in the workgroup authenticates the third node intended to participate in the workgroup and issues the authentication ticket including the signatures of both nodes, and when the authentication ticket is submitted to the second node, the second node permits the third node to access, without password-based-authentication, by authenticating the first node and the second node which have signed the authentication ticket. | 10-29-2009 |
20090327730 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATION PROCESSING - To provide an apparatus and a method for encrypted communication processing having a high communication speed in inter-node communication on a network capable of performing effective encrypted communication with improved security without losing the high speed. In the inter-node communication on the network, a plurality of shared encryption keys are first set and are switched arbitrarily for each packet to be transmitted, thus there is no need to repeat the handshaking for changing, whenever needed, the encryption keys to be used. | 12-31-2009 |
20100005198 | DATA INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM, DATA INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD AND CONTROL APPARATUS - A data input/output system, a data input/output system control method and a data input/output system control apparatus can be provided. In the data input/output system having input and output devices, it is determined and displayed whether an output device can output an input data received from an input device, thereby allowing the output device for outputting the input data to be easily selected with reliability by use of a minimum number of operations and thereby eliminating erroneous operations. | 01-07-2010 |
20100067032 | DATA INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM, DATA INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD AND DATA INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM CONTROL APPARATUS - In a data input/output system having a plurality of input devices and a plurality of output devices, a display can be performed with a consistency maintained between an input parameter used to establish the operational condition of an input device to be used for data input and an output parameter used to establish the operational condition of an output device to be used for data output, and thereby the data input/output system, a data input/output method and a data input/output system control apparatus can be provided, wherein an optimum establishment of setting items which are related to a combination between input and output devices required in a case where a multiple of input and output devices are connected to one another can be easily done with reliability by use of a minimum number of operations and thereby eliminating erroneous operations. | 03-18-2010 |
20100067369 | INFORMATION MANAGEMENT METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - An information management method and an information processing device functioning as a node are provided to enable an effective use of information distributed to, and shared with, a plurality of nodes on a network and to enable maintenance of security against leakage of information by controlling information retention. This management method of information gathers information distributed to, and shared with, a plurality of the nodes on a network and holds the information in a state accessible from other nodes to a temporary information memory unit when generating restored information. The information management method is also characterized in setting a flag for showing a history of the information and immediately discarding the information in the case that the retention of restored information becomes improper from a view point of contents of the flag. | 03-18-2010 |
20140365510 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING INTEREST, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A device for determining interest includes a storage portion configured to store, on a user-by-user basis, a co-occurrence frequency in correlation with a user, the co-occurrence frequency indicating how many times a pair of words is used in a same cluster of a first document, on a pair-by-pair basis, to which the user gained access previously; a designating portion configured to allow a person who is to conduct a search to designate a second document and any one of the users; and a determination portion configured to determine that, among the pairs, a pair which is used in a same cluster of the designated second document and which also satisfies a predetermined condition of the co-occurrence frequency corresponding to the designated user is a particular pair in the second document which is probably of high interest to the designated user. | 12-11-2014 |
