A text data transmission-reception system includes a plurality of user terminals; a shared terminal; and an information processing apparatus connectable to each of the plurality of user terminals and the shared terminal via a network. The information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive text data transmitted and received between the plurality of user terminals; determine whether or not the text data transmitted and received between the plurality of user terminals includes a request for controlling the shared terminal; and control the shared terminal based on a determination that the text data includes the request for controlling the shared terminal.

Text data transmission-reception system, shared terminal, and method of processing information

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry receives an input of ledger sheet image data read from a ledger sheet. The circuitry identifies, among a plurality of character strings extracted through character recognition performed on the ledger sheet image data, a reference point character string based on relative positions of the reference point character string and a particular character string of the plurality of character strings. The reference point character string forms a reference point for extraction. The circuitry extracts a corresponding character string corresponding to the reference point character string based on relative positions of the corresponding character string and the reference point character string.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory recording medium

An event registration system includes a user terminal; a storage to store organization information on one or more organizations; and circuitry configured to display, on a display, a particular participation candidate of a particular event identified based on an input from the user terminal, and a particular person based on the particular participation candidate and particular organization information of a particular organization to which the particular participation candidate belongs.

Event registration system, user terminal, and storage medium

An information processing system includes user terminals; and a collaboration work assisting system for assisting a work performable by users. The collaboration work assisting system includes circuitry configured to transmit an action item candidate based on statement data of users to each user terminal. Each user terminal includes another circuitry configured to receive the action item candidate from the collaboration work assisting system; display, on a display, the received action item candidate, and a screen for receiving a registration request for registering an action item selected from the action item candidate, an execution person who will execute the action item, and a due date of the action item; receive a registration operation that requests registering of the action item, execution person, and due date; and request an action item management server, to register the action item, execution person, and due date in response to receiving the registration operation.

Information processing system, user terminal, method of processing information

An image output apparatus is disclosed that is capable of switching between a normal status and a low power status in which consumption power is lower than that in the normal status. The image output apparatus includes an interface for acquiring an image signal; a signal detector configured to detect a signal at the interface; and a switching controller configured to switch a status from the low power status to the normal status based on a detection result of the signal in the low power status.

Image output apparatus and computer-readable recording medium

A video playback system includes a first acquirer configured to acquire first specification information indicating video playback performance of an image display device; a second acquirer configured to acquire second specification information indicating video creating performance of an image supply device; a determiner configured to determine, based on the first specification information and the second specification information, either the image display device or the image supply device to be a device satisfying a playback condition; and a controller configured to, when the playback condition is changed to a new playback condition while the image display device is playing a video, cause the converter of the image display device to convert the video data into video data satisfying the new playback condition until the image display device receives video data where the new playback condition is reflected from the image supply device.

Video playback system and image display device

An information processing apparatus stores configuration information including sets of version information of modules of firmware in the apparatus; obtains, based on the configuration information, firmware information including sets of version information of modules of firmware in a latest version; compares the sets of version information in the configuration information with those in the firmware information, and, when the sets of version information in the configuration information are not coincident with those in the firmware information, determines that it is possible to update the firmware in the apparatus; downloads the firmware in the latest version; and compares the sets of version information in the downloaded firmware with those in the configuration information, and updates only the module of the firmware in the apparatus for which the version information in the downloaded firmware is different from that in the configuration information.

Information processing apparatus and network system for updating firmware modules

An information processing device includes a first storage unit configured to store a set value indicating a value corresponding to a set item to define a function and flag information indicating whether an initialization of the set value is required, a second storage unit configured to store a flag address identifying a storage location of the flag information in the first storage unit in association with the set item at least, and an initialization unit configured to identify the flag information for each set item by using the flag address corresponding to each set item, and if the identified flag address indicates that the initialization is required, initialize the set value corresponding to the set item.

Information processing device, information processing method and program product

A processing device includes a plurality of input units configured to input a process request; a plurality of processing units configured to execute a process corresponding to the process request input by the plurality of input units; a power control unit configured to transfer the processing device into a power saving state and to transfer the processing device back to a regular state from the power saving state; and an operation suppression control unit configured to send an operation suppression request to the plurality of input units and the plurality of processing units before the power control unit transfers the processing device into the power saving state, and to send an operation suppression release request to the plurality of input units and the plurality of processing units when the power control unit transfers the processing device back to the regular state from the power saving state.

Preparing processing and input units of a computing device for a power transition before the transition occurs

Provided are an image output apparatus, an image output system, and an image output control program. Each of the image output apparatus, the image output system, and the image output control program outputs an image based on a video signal generated from data, detects a storage medium having available data stored therein, obtains the data stored in the newly detected storage medium in response to the detection, switches, from an input path of the image to be output to an input path associated with the newly detected storage medium, and outputs a video signal generated from the obtained data after the switching of the input path is complete.
