An information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a log related to communication and execution of processing and transmits the log to a log collection server. The processing circuitry stores a log related to a transmission failure in a memory storage when transmission of the log to the log collection server fails due to occurrence of an error. When the transmission of the log to the log collection server succeeds after the transmission failure, the processing circuitry stores a log related to a transmission success in the memory storage and transmits the log related to the transmission failure and the log related to the transmission success to the log collection server.

A report creating system includes a storage part storing machine type information correlating the machine type codes of apparatuses with corresponding types of the apparatuses, pattern information showing usage patterns based on the presence or absence of usage of the types of the apparatuses, and type information correlating the usage patterns with corresponding report types; an identification part obtaining the machine type code of one or more of the apparatuses remotely managed by a remote management system and identifying the type of the one or more of the apparatuses based on the machine type code and the machine type information; a first determination part determining the usage pattern based on the identified type and the pattern information; a second determination part determining the report type based on the determined usage pattern and the type information; and a creation part creating a report based on the determined report type.

Report creating system, report creating apparatus, and report creating method

An information processing system includes a receiving unit that receives user identification information and organization identification information from an external device, and an authentication unit that performs authentication of the user identification information and the organization identification information received by the receiving unit using a first storage unit storing one or more sets of user identification information in association with organization identification information. When the authentication unit receives a federated authentication request to access an external service from the external device that is authenticated, the authentication unit sends a federated authentication response to the external device if the organization identification information received from the external device and the external service designated in the federated authentication request are associated with each other in a second storage unit storing the organization identification information in association with information on one or more external services that have established a trust relationship for authentication.

Information processing system, information processing device, and authentication method

A registration part receives a product key of a program for performing a communication using a private key and a public key, and discrimination information of a computer using the program. The registration part registers in a management part, when an authentication of a license corresponding to the product key is completed in success, correspondence information between the product key and the discrimination information and other discrimination information regarding the correspondence information. A discrimination information sending part returns the other discrimination information to an electronic certificate issue apparatus. A checking part receives the other discrimination information and check whether the other discrimination information is registered in the management part. A certificate producing part produces, when the other discrimination information is registered in the management part, an individual certificate package containing the private key and the public key for each piece of the other discrimination information.

Electronic certificate issue system and method

An information processing device is arranged to acquire a first public key certificate and a first secret key from a server device by acquiring an individual identification information which is uniquely discriminable for the information processing device from the information processing device and transmitting the individual identification information to the server device. The information processing device is arranged to determine whether the information processing device is permitted to transmit device information to the server device through an encryption communication using the first public key certificate and the first secret key, by acquiring the individual identification information from the information processing device and comparing the acquired individual identification information with the individual identification information associated with at least one of the first public key certificate and the first secret key.

A communication apparatus performs specific operation before turning off the power of the communication apparatus. When a request for communication task is detected, the communication apparatus determines whether execution of the communication task can be extended at a later time. When execution of the communication task can be extended, the communication apparatus extends execution of the communication task to a later time. When an instruction for turning off the power of the communication apparatus is received, the communication apparatus executes the requested communication task while performing the specific operation.
