According to one embodiment, a role management system includes a first management unit, a second management unit, an acquisition unit, and a first control unit. The first management unit manages a role assigned to a user identified by an identifier in correlation with the identifier. The second management unit manages a role to be assigned to an assignee identified by an identifier in correlation with the identifier. The acquisition unit individually acquires two identifiers as a first identifier and a second identifier. The first control unit controls the first management unit so that the role managed by the second management unit in correlation with an identifier acquired as the second identifier by the acquisition unit is managed as a role assigned to a user identified by an identifier acquired as the first identifier by the acquisition unit.

According to one embodiment, in a non-transitory storage medium, a computer program is recorded so that a computer of an image forming apparatus executes a code acquisition step, a transmission step, an authority setting acquisition step, and a reflection step. The code acquisition step is to acquire a code for acquiring authority setting information including execution authority indicating a function to be permitted to use among functions of the image forming apparatus. The transmission step is to transmit the acquired code to a server that issued the code. The authority setting acquisition step is to acquire the authority setting information from the server. The reflection step is to reflect the acquired authority setting information in the image forming apparatus.

Image forming apparatus and control method with user authorization

An image forming apparatus includes an image sensor configured to capture image data and a controller operatively coupled to the image sensor. The controller is configured to receive, from the image sensor, a requesting user image of a requesting user who requests authentication to use the image forming apparatus. The controller is configured to transmit the requesting user image to a terminal associated with an authenticating user that is authorized to authenticate the requesting user. The controller is configured to acquire, from the terminal, an authentication result indicating whether the authenticating user authenticates the requesting user to use the image forming apparatus.

Image forming apparatus and control method with requesting user image capture

According to one embodiment, an indication management device includes voice acquisition means, indication recognition means, importance degree determination means, and output control means. The voice acquisition means acquires a voice which is input by a voice input terminal. The indication recognition means recognizes details of an indication from the voice acquired by the voice acquisition means. The importance degree determination means determines a degree of importance of the indication from the voice acquired by the voice acquisition means. The output control means controls output of indication details to an output device in accordance with the degree of importance determined by the importance degree determination means.

Indication management device and control method therefor

An information providing apparatus including a detection unit of at least one computer, a decision unit of the at least one computer, and a sound control circuit. The detection unit detects a position and a movement direction of a moving object in an area in which an article, corresponding to information that is provided, is disposed. The decision unit decides a direction in which the information is provided to the moving object from a relationship between the position of the moving object, the movement direction of the moving object, and a position in the area of the article. The sound control circuit controls a sound output attached to the moving object to localize a sound image according to the information in the direction decided.

Information providing apparatus and information providing method using virtual sound image localization processing

A content providing apparatus includes a selecting unit, a setting unit, and an output unit. The selecting unit selects additional information output while being superimposed on content output to a display device. The setting unit sets the additional information selected by the selecting unit in any position overlapping the content. The output unit outputs the content, for which the additional information is set by the setting unit, to the display device.
