An information processing system may include at least an image processing device and includes a receiving unit, a specifying unit, an acquiring unit, and an adjusting unit. The receiving unit receives a print request and identification information. The specifying unit specifies a queue corresponding to image forming device based on the identification information. The acquiring unit acquires the number of jobs stored in the specified queue. The adjusting unit adjusts the number of print services depending on whether the number of acquired jobs is equal to or larger than a predetermined value for the number of jobs set in the identification information and depending on whether the number of print services that process the jobs stored in the queue is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value for the number of print services set in the identification information.

An application packaging device is provided, which comprises a decryption component configured to decrypt each of a plurality of applications, a replication component configured to replicate an end user license agreement included in each of the plurality of decrypted applications, and a component configured to package respective replicas of the end user license agreements and the plurality of applications before the decryption so as to obtain an application package.

Installation of application package packaging plural applications

A server apparatus is disclosed which communicates with a client apparatus and an image forming apparatus. The server apparatus executes a print service to transmit print data to the image forming apparatus and allows the image forming apparatus to print the print data in accordance with a print request transmitted from the client apparatus. The server apparatus then transmits a processing situation of the executed print service in accordance with a request repeatedly transmitted from the client apparatus. The server apparatus finally stops the request repeatedly transmitted from the client apparatus in response to completion of a process corresponding to the print request in the executed print service.

Association information representing the association between the first information and the second information is set in the first record belonging to the first information and the second record belonging to the second information that are stored in a storage medium. A field area where data of the designated first record is inserted and a field area where data of the second record associated with the first record is inserted in accordance with the association information are laid out in a page on the basis of the template.

Layout of field area where merchandise and advertising information are inserted or determining position and size of area where merchandise and advertising information flow

Provided are an apparatus, a method, and a program for displaying an operating screen in a short time when the apparatus is powered on after change in configuration thereof. After the apparatus is powered on, the operating screen on the previous activation is displayed, and a simplified screen is displayed if the configuration of the apparatus is different from that on the previous activation.

Apparatus, method and program

This invention provides a layout decision method, apparatus, and program which can preferably hide a container by performing masking corresponding to a template whose layout is decided in accordance with the size of contents pasted within the container in variable data printing. For this purpose, data are inserted into a plurality of flexible containers () set in a page to be formed on a print medium. The layout is adjusted at the size of a partial area suitable to draw data to be inserted into the partial area. It is determined whether masking is set for each of the layout-adjusted containers. For the container () having the masking setting, a mask area equal in size to the container is created to cover the container ().

Layout decision method, apparatus, and program

A cloud computing system includes an initial request reception unit, a request reception unit, and a transmission unit. The initial request reception unit receives a connection request from a device. In a case where the device has tried to access a request reception unit, the request reception unit receives a service usage request and service identification information from the device and determines whether a back-end processing unit is present that both corresponds to the device and is configured to execute the service. If present, a service utilization preparation completion screen is transmitted to the device. If not present, an instance generation instruction is sent to a management unit and instruction to launch an instance generated to execute the service is sent. After the instance is launched and the back-end processing unit is realized, the service utilization preparation completion screen is transmitted to the device.

Cloud computing system, server computer, device connection method, and storage medium

A page in which field areas are laid out is displayed on the basis of a template. A field area to be adjusted is selected from the field areas in the page. The field area is adjusted on the basis of adjustment operation to the selected field area. Adjustment page information on the page in which the field area has been adjusted is stored in addition to page information on the displayed page.
