An image forming system includes a first storage unit that stores identification information and storage information with the identification information mapped to the storage information, the identification information identifying a user, the storage information indicating a storage location where image data corresponding to the identification information is stored, an identifying unit that, in response to the identification information input by the user, identifies the storage location indicated by the storage information stored on the first storage unit with the identification information mapped thereto, a retrieval unit that retrieves, from the storage location identified by the identifying unit, the image data corresponding to the identification information, and an image forming unit that forms an image responsive to the image data retrieved by the retrieval unit.

Image forming system, information forming apparatus, and computer readable medium having management apparatus with distributed storage

A memory device memorizes, in association, possessor identification information, which is recorded at recording mediums carried by authorized users of an image forming device, and inputter identification information corresponding to the possessor identification information. An information retention device memorizes image information and inputter identification information transmitted from an image formation instruction device. A reading device reads possessor identification information from a recording medium. If it is determined that this possessor identification information has been memorized at the memory device, an image formation section reads image information that is associated with inputter identification information that is associated with the possessor identification information, and implements image formation. If not, an output section outputs the possessor identification information. When the possessor identification information is inputted through an input section, a registration section registers the possessor identification information and inputter identification information by memorizing them in association at the memory device.

Information registration system

Provided is an image forming system including plural image forming devices, a first storage unit that stores user information and device information, an updating unit that updates the device information, and a transmitting device that transmits image data to an image forming device, each image forming device including a second storage unit that stores the image data, a receiving unit that receives an input of the user information, a first acquiring unit that acquires image data from an image forming device, an image forming unit that forms an image, a counter unit that measures frequency in which image data is acquired by another image forming device and stores the user information, the device information, and the measured frequency in the second storage unit in a correlated manner, and a transmitting unit that transmits the user information and the device information to the updating unit.
