To provide an authentication system allowing stable determination as to whether a user is a registered user while saving user's trouble, an information processing device capable of data communication with a plurality of image forming apparatuses extracts an image forming apparatus connected to an IC card reader from the plurality of image forming apparatuses, based on reply signals transmitted from the plurality of image forming apparatuses, and transmits user account information of registered users to the extracted image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus connectable to the IC card reader performs, if it is determined that the IC card reader is connected to the image forming apparatus, the authentication process based on the user account information of registered users received from the information processing device and on the information read by the IC card reader.

The present invention provides an information processing system, an information processor, a file concurrent editing method and a file concurrent editing program each of which improves the efficiency of editing works, which are concurrently carried out with respect to a shared file, by displaying a sectional region(s) of the shared file with a display layout according to editing purpose or according to each user individually. A shared text information edit processing section (i) places sectional regions A and B of shared text information at corresponding positions of a display section according to a display layout of local layout information and (ii) causes the display section to display, at the corresponding positions of the display section, text contents 'Text-A' and 'Text-B' corresponding respectively to the sectional regions A and B of text management tables of the shared text information.

A mail server includes a forwarding confirmation section which notifies a mobile phone of receipt of an e-mail, and mail and address forwarding sections which send attached data separated and a user ID to a print server, respectively. Each printer is managed by the print server that includes data holding and stored data search sections for storing the attached data and user ID. The printer has an input section from which the user ID is inputted. The print server is notified of the user ID inputted from the printer so as to search for attached data corresponding to the notified user ID and transfer it to the printer for print. It is thus possible to provide a print service system capable of printing out attached data when not recognized by some mobile devices including a mobile phone, by a nearest printer connected with a broadband network, without increasing communications costs.
