An information processing apparatus, which is communicable with a printing device, includes a control device configured to: receive an obtainment application of paid authority information guaranteeing a paid guaranteed printing amount by a purchasing user; add a value of the paid guaranteed printing amount relating to the corresponding paid authority information to a value of an allowable printing amount for the printing device; associate free authority information guaranteeing a free guaranteed printing amount corresponding to the paid guaranteed printing amount with identification information of the printing device; receive a utilization application of the free authority information associated with the identification information of the printing device; and add a value of a utilized printing amount within the free guaranteed printing amount corresponding to the free authority information to the value of the allowable printing amount.

Information processing apparatus and printing authority management system

A server system for an always-on connection includes: a plurality of always-on connection processing parts; and a controller. Each of the always-on connection processing parts includes a plurality of always-on connection execution parts, and the controller is configured to execute: a receiving process to receive a first request for the always-on connection from a terminal device; a determining process to determine a target always-on connection processing part, among the always-on connection processing parts according to the first request, the target always-on connection processing part being one always-on connection processing part to establish the always-on connection with the terminal device; and a sending process to send to the terminal device a destination data indicating a destination of the second request for the always-on connection after determining the target always-on connection processing part, the destination data also indicating the target always-on connection processing part.

Server system

A server includes memory, a registration request receiver, a first determiner, and a first memory controller. The memory stores device identification information and service identification information in association with each other. The registration request receiver receives from an external device, a registration request including first service identification information and specific device identification information. The first service identification information identifies a first service to be provided to a user of a specific communication device. The specific device identification information identifies the specific communication device. In response to the registration request received from the external device, the first determiner determines whether to provide the first service to the user of the specific communication device. In response to a determination to provide the first service, the first memory stores the first service identification information in the memory in association with the specific device identification information.

Server and computer program for server

A management apparatus receives a data set from a target device that is one of a plurality of devices, the data set including a data type, a data body, and identification information of the target device; each time the data set is received, calculates scheduled transmission time for the target device based on reception time of the data set and on the identification information and the data type; estimates a load of the management apparatus at the scheduled transmission time based on the scheduled transmission time and on next transmission time of the data set for the plurality of devices other than the target device; and in a case where the load is higher than a particular level, transmit, to the target device, corrected transmission time as next transmission time for the target device, the corrected transmission time being obtained by adding a correction value to the scheduled transmission time.

Provided is a sound absorbing panel that can satisfy the heat resistance properties and melting/dripping resistance properties required inside of a railway vehicle. A pier sound absorbing panel includes five sheets of first through fifth glass cloths that are stacked on an aluminum base plate. The edge section of the fifth glass cloth is affixed to the rear surface of the base plate using an adhesive, and the first through fourth glass cloths are fastened using staples. In other words, the first glass cloth and the base plate are fixed using an adhesive, and this adhesive is prevented from melting by the five sheets of the first through fifth glass cloths. The adhesive that fixes the edge section of the fifth glass cloth at the other surface of the base plate is prevented from melting by the five sheets of the first through fifth glass cloths and the base plate.

In a content distributed-storage system in which divided content data obtained by dividing content data of a single unit having a plurality of pieces of frame image data into a plurality of pieces is stored so as to be distributed to a plurality of node devices, unique identification information is assigned to each of the divided content data, each of the node devices can obtain the divided content data on the basis of the identification information. In the system, content catalog information having the identification information of at least one piece of the divided content data and key frame information including information indicative of an offset position of the frame image data in each of the divided content data, is stored. An instruction related to playback of the content data from the user is received.

A content distribution system includes a node to which content is distributed via a network and a distribution management server for managing a content distribution status. The node receives content, detects an information amount of received content, and, on the basis of the detected information amount, outputs a distribution completion notification indicative of a reception status of corresponding content. On the other hand, the distribution management server receives the distribution completion notification for each node, and stores the received distribution completion information for each node.
