Information processing system, computer program product, and information processing method

An information processing device includes an identification part configured to, in response to a user's operation to start any given one of a plurality of first application programs, determine whether the start of the one of the first application programs is allowed; and a request part configured to request the one of the first application programs to display a first screen which indicates the start of the one of the first application programs is not allowed when the identification part determines that the start of the one of the first application programs is not allowed, and request a second application program to display a second screen including a message when the identification part determines that the start of the one of the first application programs is allowed and when the message needs to be given.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

An information processing system comprises: an accepting unit that accepts identification information for identifying a user of an apparatus; a reading unit that reads an image on a document to output image data; an extracting unit that extracts character string information including a character string in the image and first position information on the character string in the image from the image data; a storage unit that stores therein allocation information in which an item relating to settlement is associated with second position information on the item on the document; an allocating unit that compares the allocation information with the character string information to allocate the item to the character string; and a transmitting unit that transmits settlement information including the character string, the item allocated to the character string, and the identification information.

Information processing system, information processing method, and computer program product

Disclosed is an information processing system having one or more computers. The information processing system includes a request receiver configured to receive a request from a program causing an apparatus to execute a predetermined process, a simulator configured to simulate the process executed by the apparatus in accordance with the request, an instruction receiver configured to receive a status change instruction for changing a status of the simulator from a user, and a status changer configured to cause the simulator to change a status of the simulator in accordance with the status change instruction. In the information processing system, the simulator simulates the process executed by the apparatus in the status changed by the status changer.

Process simulation for information processing system, information processing method, and information processing program product

A data processing apparatus includes a first program that causes the data processing apparatus to perform a display of a first screen relating to a process using hardware specific to the data processing apparatus, and to perform the process in accordance with setting data input via the first screen, includes an interface that receives setting data relating to the process from a second program, and causes the data processing apparatus to perform the process in accordance with the setting data received from the second program.

Data processing apparatus and data processing method

An information processing system includes a detection unit configured to detect an end of a second application program that cooperates with a first application program operated by a user; a report unit configured to report the end to the first application program, and end the first application program; and a request unit configured to request a third application program to display information relevant to the end of the second application program.

Information processing system for ending a first program when a second program ends

A communications device is disclosed that includes a communication part configured to perform communications with an electronic apparatus, and an application related to the electronic apparatus. The communication part notifies the application of an event occurring in the electronic apparatus in response to reception thereof, and transmits a request to operate a hardware resource of the electronic apparatus to the electronic apparatus, the request being generated in the processing of the application executed in response to the event.

The ATM exchange of the present invention comprises an input line interface and an output line interface. The input line interface comprises an FRM extractor for deciding whether each ATM cell sent from a first communication terminal to a switch is an FRM cell or a non-FRM cell, an FRM cycle monitor for using this decision result to monitor the FRM cell proportion among the ATM cells and deciding whether said proportion is normal or abnormal, and a first cell processor for discarding the non-FRM cells when the proportion is abnormal. The output line interface comprises a BRM extractor for deciding whether each ATM cell sent from a communication terminal to a switch is a BRM cell or a non-BRM cell, a BRM cycle monitor for using this decision result to monitor the BRM cell proportion among the ATM cells and deciding whether said proportion is normal or abnormal, and a second cell processor for discarding the non-BRM cells when the proportion is abnormal. When the FRM cycle monitor decides that the quantity of flow of FRM cells has decreased, the first cell processor discards the non-FRM cells and returns the proportion of FRM cells to its normal state. When the BRM cycle monitor decides that the quantity of flow of BRM cells has decreased, the second cell processor discards the non-BRM cells and returns the proportion of BRM cells to its normal state.
