An image forming device includes an embedded information job control part configured to connect software components and control execution of an embedded information job that embeds information into image data or extracts embedded information from image data. The embedded information job control part includes a common part configured to perform a first process that is common to respective kinds of the embedded information job, and a specific part configured to perform a second process that is specific to a kind of the embedded information job. The specific part includes a combination of the software components connected in a predetermined order to perform the second process, the combination corresponding to the kind of the embedded information job.

Image forming device and computer-readable storage medium

An authentication ticket processing apparatus includes a temporary data storage unit configured to keep user information upon receiving the user information from a user management database for managing user information, the temporary data storage unit allowing access thereto to be performed at higher speed than access to the user management database. The authentication ticket processing apparatus is configured such that, when there is a need to acquire user information in response to a decoding request from a server, a check is made whether user information corresponding to the decoding request is present in the temporary data storage unit, and the corresponding user information is acquired from the temporary data storage unit if the corresponding user information is present in the temporary data storage unit.

Authentication ticket processing apparatus and method with improved performance for self-contained ticket

A scanned document management system for managing a paper document in a state in which the paper document is scanned and transformed into electronic data, registers an attribute of the document by a manager; when printing out the document, registers identification information of the document with correspondence to the attribute, issues a document authentication representing certificate including the identification information, coding the document authentication representing certificate and prints out the same with including the same in a document image; and, when scanning the document, extracts the coded document authentication representing certificate from the document, obtains the attribute from the identification information included in the document authentication representing certificate to determine whether or not authentication is possible therewith, and allows transfer of the document image thus scanned, when the authentication is possible.

Scanned document management system

A connection setting part holds a selecting condition for a binding to use; a common interface part receives a connection request from a common interface execution code to be executed by a client; a reading/analyzing part obtains the selecting condition from the connection setting part; an environment information obtaining part obtains environment information of the client and/or a server; a connection selecting determination part determines the binding to use based on the selecting condition and the environment information; and a calling part carries out connection to the Web service with the execution code corresponding to the determined binding.
