A mobile terminal that communicates with an image forming apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate a one-time password based on secret information managed in association with the image forming apparatus, a transmission unit configured to transmit the one-time password generated by the generating unit and user information to the image forming apparatus, and a control unit configured to, upon successful completion of authentication processing based on the one-time password and the user information transmitted by the transmission unit, provide a service for operating the image forming apparatus.

Mobile terminal, control method, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus performs processing, which is different from multi-factor authentication processing, on remote access to a function on which the multi-factor authentication processing cannot be performed. In this way, remote access to an image processing function is enabled without performing the multi-factor authentication processing on the remote access.

A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus and a mobile terminal, wherein when the mobile terminal receives a packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus, it determines whether or not a login condition for transmitting a login request is satisfied based on a received signal strength of the packet, and it transmits the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it determines that the login condition is satisfied, and does not transmit the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it is determines that the login condition is not satisfied.

Communication system, mobile terminal, method of controlling the mobile terminal, and storage medium

An image forming apparatus operable to accept a login of a user by an input of medium information stored in a storage medium or an input via a user interface is provided. The apparatus comprises a storage to store account information that includes user identification information of a registered user and can further include the medium information associated with the user; a reader to read the medium information from the storage medium; a user interface to display a screen and accept an input; and a controller configured to accept a login by a user, wherein the controller, in a case where, at the time of a login of a user via the user interface, the medium information associated with a corresponding user is not registered, registers, in association with the corresponding user, the medium information inputted by the reader.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and medium

An information processing device is provided. The device performs operations including: when a first method of login using face authentication fails, receiving selection of a second method of login; in response to the selection of the second method of login, executing the second method of login; and in response to the selection of the second method of login, capturing an image of a user and executing registration, in a face authentication database, of face data acquired from the image captured as face data of the user used in the first method of login.

A wireless access point search device improved in a manner of storing search results. A wireless LAN interface searches for a wireless access point. A result receiving section stores an access point information item on the wireless access point found by the wireless LAN interface. When the sum of the number of access point information items stored in the result receiving section and the number of new wireless access point items on respective new wireless access points found by the wireless LAN interface is larger than a predetermined value, a panel controller determines, whether or not to store a new access point information item on each new wireless access point in the result receiving section, based on radio field intensity of the new wireless access point.

An information processing apparatus includes a registration unit, a display control unit, a login processing unit, and a restricting unit. The registration unit registers, as user information about a user who can log into the apparatus, user identification information for identifying the user as well as a display name displayed instead of the user identification information. When a list of user information registered is displayed, the display name as for a user whose display name has been registered and the user identification information as for a user whose display name is not registered is displayed. When the display name or the user identification information displayed is selected, login processing is executed through which a user corresponding to the thus selected name or information can log into the apparatus. The restricting unit restricts registration of the display name so that identical names are not displayed on the list of user information.

An information processing apparatus for accessing a server via a network transmits an issuance request of a certificate including information unique to the information processing apparatus to a certificate authority, and receives the certificate transmitted by the certificate authority in response to the issuance request. The apparatus determines whether or not it is possible to access the server by comparing information unique to the information processing apparatus with the unique information included in the received certificate, and restricts, if it is determined that it is not possible to access the server, issuance of a connection request to the server.

An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a plurality of encryption keys, wherein the plurality of encryption keys includes at least a default key, a setting unit configured to set an encryption key to be used for encryption communication according to a specific protocol, wherein the encryption key is selected from the plurality of encryption keys, an obtaining unit configured to obtain security setting information for limiting use of an encryption key, and a control unit configured to, in the case where the security setting information is obtained, determine whether or not the encryption key set by the setting unit has a predetermined encryption strength, wherein the control unit is configured to change the set encryption key to the default key in response to determining that the set encryption key has not the predetermined encryption strength.

Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An image processing system capable of executing a processing flow in a destination image processing apparatus without retransmitting the processing flow from a source image processing apparatus to the destination image processing apparatus when the version of the destination image processing apparatus is upgraded. The source image processing apparatus analyzes whether or not the processing flow is executable by the destination image processing apparatus before transmitting the processing flow, and if it is unexecutable, the source image processing apparatus performs alternate configuration of an inexecutable setting based on the analysis result. The source image processing apparatus transmits the processing flow including the alternate setting to the destination image processing apparatus. If the destination image processing apparatus fails in executing the processing flow, the destination image processing apparatus executes the processing flow based on the alternate setting included in the received processing flow.
