An image forming system includes plural image forming apparatuses. The image forming system includes the following elements. A first communication unit of each image forming apparatus communicates with at least another one of the plural image forming apparatuses. A second communication unit communicates with a terminal device. An image forming unit forms an image on a medium. A storage unit stores liaison information which defines liaison concerning an operation between each of the plural image forming apparatuses and at least another one of the plural image forming apparatuses. A notifying unit notifies the terminal device of the liaison information in response to an inquiry from the terminal device. A receiving unit receives specified image data and liaison information from the terminal device. An execution unit executes image formation on the basis of the received image data by using the image forming unit of one of the plural image forming apparatuses.

An image processing apparatus includes plural communication interfaces, a determining unit, and a selecting unit. The determining unit determines whether or not communication with an information processing apparatus is executable by any of the plural communication interfaces. The selecting unit selects, based on a determination result generated by the determining unit, any one of the plural communication interfaces as a communication interface that communicates with the information processing apparatus.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes: an information storage that stores information; a request accepting section that accepts a predetermined request for the information; a setting section that, for each of the information, sets whether the predetermined request is allowed; a setting storage that stores a setting by the setting section; a determining section that, with respect to the information corresponding to a request accepted by the request accepting section, reads out a corresponding setting from the setting storage, and that determines allowance/non-allowance of the predetermined request; and a process executing section that, in a case where the determining section determines allowance of the predetermined request, executes a process corresponding to the predetermined request on the information.

An information transmitting apparatus includes a first interface connected to a first network; a second interface connected to a second network; a saving unit that saves, when the first or second interface receives information from a device belonging to the first or second network, identification information of the device in a memory; and a transmitter that transmits, at a certain timing, information to the device indicated by the saved identification information. The saving unit saves, when the first or second interface receives information transmitted from a device belonging to the first or second network, interface information indicating the network interface that has received the information and identification information of the device in an associative manner in the memory. The transmitter obtains the interface information associated with the saved identification information and transmits information via the network interface indicated by the obtained interface information.

Information transmitting apparatus and method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An image forming device includes an image forming section, a connection section, a request receiving section, an illegality detection section, a notice section and a web page creation section. The image forming section performs image formation on a medium. The connection section communicates with an information processing device. The request receiving section receives a request from the information processing device through the connection section. The illegality detection section detects an illegal access to the request receiving section through the connection section. The notice section notifies, to the information processing device, a detection result by the illegality detection section through the connection section.

The information processing apparatus includes an authentication processing management section that requests an external authentication apparatus to authenticate a user who makes a processing request to the information processing apparatus and that acquires an authentication result therefrom; an authentication history management section that manages authentication history information including the authentication result of the authentication of the user, which is acquired by the authentication processing management section; a power switching section that switches a power state of the information processing apparatus; and a power control section. The power control section controls switching of a power state by the power switching section before the authentication processing management portion acquires a latest authentication result from the external authentication apparatus by referring to authentication history information registered in an authentication history table of the user, when a processing request is received from the user in a first power state.

An information processing device includes a lock section, a creation section, a transmission section, a reception section, and a release section. The lock section disables an authorization function of the information processing device under a given condition. The creation section creates a first lock release file that is capable of releasing the authorization function disabled by the lock section. The transmission section transmits the first lock release file to an information management device. The reception section receives a second lock release file, which is based on the first lock release file, from the information management device. The release section tries to enable the authorization function of the information processing device when the second lock release file is determined to be valid.

Information processing device, information management device, information processing system and computer readable medium

An image forming system comprising an information terminal device and a printing device that is connected to the information terminal device through a network and a local connection and performs a printing process of image data sent from the information terminal device, in which the information terminal device includes a network identifier acquisition unit that obtains through the local connection a network identifier of the printing device on the network at the time of the local connection between the information terminal device and the printing device, and a data communication unit that performs data communications with the printing device through the network according to the network identifier obtained by the network identifier acquisition unit.
