An estimation unit provides an estimation result using a trained model generated by machine learning which is trained using training data that includes input data representing document data about documents read from a plurality of MFPs and teaching data representing collected setting data about each of the documents read from the plurality of MFPs. A setting unit transmits, for a particular document read by the MFP, an estimation request to the estimation apparatus along with document data about the document read by the MFP, and receives the estimation result, and sets an output setting of the document based on the received estimation result.

System and method

When virtual printers are collectively registered with a plurality of print services through one operation, a virtual printer may be registered also with print services not utilized. In the present invention, by acquiring information regarding print services, provided by a plurality of print services, and information regarding virtual printers registered with the print services, it is determined, on a basis of the information regarding the virtual printers and a printer ID of the local printer, whether or not the local printer has been registered as a virtual printer with the print services. Information regarding the print service with which the local printer is determined not to have been registered is displayed, and when instructed by a user to register the local printer with the displayed print service as a virtual printer, the local printer is registered as the virtual printer with the instructed print service.

Printer registration apparatus, display apparatus, and method for printer registration

An information processing apparatus is provided that is connected to a server that archives document data hierarchically formed by a plurality of files and stores the document data as a single file, comprising: a downloading unit configured to download the archived document data from the server, decompressing the archived document data, and storing a file forming a lower layer of the document data in a storage unit; a browser unit configured to access an access destination of the file forming the lower layer which is described in an upper layer file of the document data; and a readout unit configured to read out the file forming the lower layer by hooking the access and returning the read out file to the browser unit instead of the server, wherein the browser unit displays the document data based on the read out file.

Information processing apparatus, document display method, document display system, and medium

In the coordination of a data conversion server and a storage server which belong to different security domains, a client terminal is able to replace an authorization token for accessing the data conversion server with a temporary URL on the storage server, the client terminal, which is located outside the data exchange server, will be able to issue a temporary URL without authorization, resulting in a file operation which is not intended by the data conversion server being performed. Scopes for allowing a client terminal to access the data conversion server and scopes necessary for the issuance of a temporary URL are separated from each other, and a limitation is imposed so that the scopes for the issuance of a temporary URL can be used only by the data conversion server, thereby enabling secure provision of a temporary URL to an external client terminal.

Printing system, method, and program for implementing service coordination among a plurality of security domains

In the case of displaying, as a list, information pieces on virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services, the user may become confused when choosing a printer if virtual printers that correspond to a printer are displayed as different printers, consequently reducing user convenience. The present invention relates to searching for virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services and generating a printer list that displays, as a group, virtual printers corresponding to a printer among the virtual printers thus found, on the basis of printer identifiers of the virtual printers.

Printer list generator, mobile terminal, and printer list generation method

An authorization token verification request including the authorization token is received from an application server having received a processing request along with the authorization token from the client, and, in a case where the authorization token is verified successfully on basis of the received authorization token and the authorization token information, the local user information included in the authorization token information is transmitted to the application server.

Authorization server, authentication cooperation system, and storage medium storing program

When a print server according to the present invention receives a printing cancellation request from a load balancer, the print server acquires information of a print job as a target of the printing cancellation request and information of a printing device. Then, the print server determines whether a status of the acquired print job is a first status where printing cancellation processing is to be executed by a print server in charge of the printing device, a second status where the printing cancellation processing is to be executed by the printing device, or a third status where the printing cancellation request is to be handled as an error. Thereafter, the print server executes the printing cancellation processing according to the determination result.

Print server, control method of print server, and storage medium

An authentication system registers, in a service provision device, identification information for an information processing device that cooperates with the authentication system, associates the identification information for the information processing device with authorization information in accordance with an issuance of the authorization information corresponding to the information processing device, and saves them in the authorization service device, queries the authorization service device for the identification information for the information processing device associated with the authorization information in response to a request for obtaining the service and the issued authorization information from the information processing device, and provides, according to the request, the service with the information processing device in response to a correspondence between the identification information for the information processing device acquired as a result of the query and the identification information for the information processing device registered.

Authentication system, control method thereof, service provision device, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus that communicates with an external apparatus includes receiving local login information regarding a local login to the image forming apparatus, determining, if a request for a URL for authorization without web access authentication is received, whether an internal communication address is used, requesting, if it is determined that the internal communication address is used, authorization request for the external apparatus, and managing an authorization token acquired by requesting the authorization request and the local login information by associating the authorization token with the local login information.
