| 20090021789 | Image forming apparatus performing function related to external apparatus - A USB memory stores, as function information, a function of processing a document and a place where the document is registered. An MFP includes a read unit for reading function information from the USB memory inserted into the MFP, a specifying unit for specifying required information from among the function information, an acquisition unit for accessing a server with the use of the specified information to acquire a target document to be processed, a setting unit for making a setting for performing a PullPrint function, which corresponds to the aforementioned function, with the use of the information, and a print control unit for executing a process for printing the acquired document on the basis of the setting made by the setting unit. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20100053676 | IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND SERVER - An image processing device including a communication interface unit; a user interface display unit which provides information to a user; a user interface input unit having a hardware key which receives an input from the user; a web-browser section which receives page data from a web server, structures a display screen on the user interface display unit based on the page data, and displays the display screen on the user interface display unit; a data analysis section which determines whether an operation on the hardware key is to be valid or invalid based on the page data; and a hardware-key control section which controls validity/invalidity of the operation on the hardware key based on the determination made by the data analysis section. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20110063672 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOG MANAGEMENT, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - An apparatus for log management includes an obtaining portion that obtains a first log of a process that has been performed, a second log generating portion that creates a second log by replacing confidential information, which is contained in the first log and is to be kept secret, with second information that is different from the confidential information, and a second log output portion that outputs the second log. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110066862 | METHOD FOR OUTPUTTING IMAGE DATA, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR COMPUTER PROGRAM - A method for outputting image data generated by an image processing apparatus to a portable storage medium connected to an interface is provided. The method includes the following steps of: issuing an identifier of the image data; writing the identifier into the storage medium without waiting for the image data to be generated completely; after generating the image data, associating the image data with the identifier and storing the image data in a storage portion; reading out the identifier from the storage medium when the storage medium is connected to the interface again; and writing, into the storage medium, the image data stored in the storage portion in association with the identifier thus read out. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110228328 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COOPERATIVE JOB EXECUTION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM ENCODED WITH COOPERATIVE JOB EXECUTION PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus can communicate with a server in which an application program is installed so as to be executable. The information processing apparatus includes a browsing portion to display a screen received from the server. If receiving from the server a setting screen for setting an execution condition for executing the application program, the browsing portion allows the server to execute the application program in accordance with the execution condition set in the setting screen. The information processing apparatus further includes a style sheet reception portion to receive a style sheet corresponding to the application program from the server, a process execution portion to execute a prescribed process, a display control portion, if the process execution portion produces display information to notify a user as a result of executing the prescribed process, to display a first display screen including the display information, and a screen generation portion to generate a second display screen based on the display information and the style sheet, if the display information is produced. While the screen received from the server is being displayed by the browsing portion, the display control portion displays the second display screen in place of the first display screen. | 09-22-2011 |
