An image forming apparatus includes a processor configured to transmit data obtained by optically scanning a target object to a service for executing a predetermined process on the data, encrypt processing information for acquiring a result of the predetermined process of the service and executing a process for the result of the predetermined process, and transmit the encrypted processing information to another image forming apparatus.

Image processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program for performing process with alternative apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: as a first job, perform connection to an external server that is enable to be connected from the information processing apparatus, instruct the external server to execute processing by designating shared information held in a storage device that is enable to be shared by plural jobs, hold the designated shared information in a primary storage section, and release a resource used in the first job, as a second job different from the first job, acquire a result of the processing by the external server, and execute processing using the shared information designated in the first job and held in the primary storage section, and change the shared information held in the storage device and not changing the shared information held in the primary storage section in a case where an operation of changing the shared information is performed between execution of the first job and start of the second job.

Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium storing program, and information processing method for optimizing resource allocation and data consistency

An information processing system includes an information processing apparatus; and a server, in which the server acquires data to be processed from the information processing apparatus and executes processing on the data, and the information processing apparatus transmits the data to be processed to the server as a first job, and acquires data of a processing result for the data to be processed, which is transmitted to the server in the first job, as a second job different from the first job.

Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program for saving resource of information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform connection to an external server that can be connected from the information processing apparatus and instruct the external server to execute processing as a first job, and then release a resource used in the first job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server, and wait for a response from the external server, in a case where a response indicating that the processing by the external server is completed is received in response to the inquiry, execute a second job that is different from the first job and is cooperated with the first job, and, in a case where a connection between the information processing apparatus and the external server is disconnected before or during the execution of the second job, make an inquiry about whether or not the processing is completed to the external server again and wait for a response from the external server.

Information processing system capable of enabling cooperation of processing when connection with external apparatus being disconnected, information processing apparatus therefor, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program therefor

An authentication control apparatus includes a first authenticating unit, a second authenticating unit, a controller, and an outputting unit. The first authenticating unit performs first authentication using authentication information stored in association with a memory area. The second authenticating unit performs second authentication using authentication information stored in association with a user. The controller performs control to perform one of authentication operations that are the first authentication and the second authentication when the user uses the memory area. The outputting unit outputs information if the one of the authentication operations performed under the control of the controller does not succeed. The information prompts the user to input authentication information to be used in an authentication operation performed when the user uses the memory area.

Authentication control apparatus, image reading apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A scanned image transmitting device has an instruction-creating section that creates an instruction describing a process instruction in relation to a scanned image; an electronic mail creating section that creates an electronic mail including the scanned image and the instruction; an encrypting section that encrypts at least a portion of the electronic mail using a public key of a transmission destination; and a transmitting section that transmits the encrypted electronic mail to the transmission destination.

Device, program, and method for transmitting or receiving an image through electronic mail

A scanned image disclosure apparatus has a disclosure unit that encrypts and discloses to a disclosure destination a scanned image by using a public key or a private key relating to a public key certificate that has been verified to be valid, a re-verification unit that judges whether or not re-verification of the validity of the public key certificate is necessary during execution for the disclosure unit and performs re-verification if it is judged to be necessary, a termination unit that terminates the execution for the disclosure unit if the public key certificate was judged to be invalid by the re-verification unit.

Scanned image disclosure apparatus, method and storage medium; electronic mail transmission apparatus, method and storage medium; and internet facsimile transmission apparatus

A certificate managing device has a verifying section that verifies validity of a first public key certificate corresponding to a originating mail address when an electronic mail to which the first public key certificate is attached is received, a comparing section that compares newness of the first public key certificate with newness of a second public key certificate which is already registered as a public key certificate corresponding to the originating mail address, and a registering section that registers the first public key certificate as the public key certificate corresponding to the originating mail address in place of the second public key certificate when the first public key certificate is more recent than the second public key certificate.
