An information processing apparatus which performs a process on the basis of an access control information, or ACT, for control of a use of a function of a peripheral device for each user acquires setting information about the use of the function of the peripheral device specified by the user, and the ACT corresponding to the user. If the user-specified setting information is permitted by the ACT and if the setting information permitted by the ACT is not set by the user-specified setting information, the apparatus displays a screen indicating that the user-specified setting information can be changed according to the ACT.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and print control system

A program development apparatus includes a storage device configured to store an operation definition defining a program description in a source program subjected to be optimized and a complex intrinsic function including an inline clause describing statements after the optimization. An analyzer is configured to perform a syntax analysis of the complex intrinsic function by reading the complex intrinsic function out of the storage device, so as to detect the operation definition and the inline clause. A code generator is configured to generate an object code from the source program by optimizing a program description corresponding to the operation definition in the source program into the statements in the inline clause.

Designing configurable processor with hardware extension for instruction extension to replace searched slow block of instructions

When a first user on a network is to provide information to a second user, this invention allows the second user to visually output the information even if an information processor used by the second user does not have a function of reading electronic data as a source of the information. In this invention, when information formed by a PC () on a network () is to be output to the user of a PC () on the network (), the PC () issues a print job to a printer () and notifies the PC () of the issue. Upon receiving this notification, the PC () gives execution designation of the job to the printer (). The print job is then executed, and the printed product is handed over to the user of the PC ().
