A user clicks on a link on a third-party Web site from his computer in order to utilize a third-party application with a Web service with which the user has an account. The application contacts the Web service and requests permissions from the user's account. The Web service sends the request to the user's computer asking to grant these permissions to the application. A software module on the user's computer intercepts this request, retrieves a user profile for this Web service, and compares the permissions requested with the permissions allowed from the profile. If any requested permissions are not allowed then the module automatically denies granting permissions and the user is not presented with an option of granting the request. A warning screen may be displayed. If all requested permissions are allowed then the request is presented to the user. A profile may apply to more than one Web service.

In a monitor device, an input unit inputs patient identification information, an information acquiring unit acquires state information on a state of a patient, and a transmission unit transmits the patient identification information and the state information to a management apparatus. In the management apparatus, biological information acquiring unit acquires the patient identification information, the state information, and identification information on the monitor device. A determination unit determines, when the acquired patient identification information and that stored in a storage device match each other, whether the acquired device identification information and the device identification information mapped to the location information stored in the storage device are the same as each other. When they are the same as each other, a storage management unit stores the acquired state information by associating it with the patient identification information stored in the storage device.

Medical information management system and management apparatus

In an image managing apparatus connected to: an image processing apparatus receiving an image signal from an imaging apparatus capturing a medical examination image; and an image recording apparatus recording a captured image, an apparatus information storage stores an image processing apparatus type. An apparatus ID acquiring unit acquires an image processing apparatus identifier from the connected image processing apparatus. An apparatus type acquiring unit reads out the type of the connected image processing apparatus based on the image processing apparatus identifier acquired by the apparatus ID acquiring unit. If the image processing apparatus type read by the apparatus type acquiring unit indicates that the apparatus can transmit an image file directly to the image recording apparatus, a file acquiring unit reads out from the image recording apparatus an image file that the image processing apparatus stores directly in the image recording apparatus.

An automatic range finder for a camera for setting the focus position of the camera to correspond to the closest object to the camera within a specified field of view. Infrared light sources are sequentially activated to project infrared beams, through a light projecting lens, within the specified field of view. A condenser lens, positioned a predetermined base length apart from the optical axes of the light sources and having an optical axis parallel to that of the light projecting lens, focuses the returned beams onto a light detecting element having a light receiving surface arranged perpendicular to the optical axis of the condenser lens. The light detecting element produces a signal indicative of the positions of the sequential light spots received thereon. A signal processing circuit determines which value of the output signal of the light detecting element corresponds to the closest object, and sets the focus position of the camera accordingly.
