An electronic device includes an image reading section, a marker detection section, and a processing section. The marker detection section analyzes image data and detects a first marker portion indicated in the image data and a second marker portion indicated in the image data in a mode different from a mode of the first marker, and also extracts texts indicated in the first marker portion and the second marker portion. The processing section performs processing of transmitting the image data where the text indicated in the first marker portion is defined as a file name of the image data and the text indicated in the second marker portion is defined as a transmission address to which the image data is transmitted.

Electronic device and marker processing method

Provided are: an acquisition section that acquires image data; a detection section that detects a marker portion indicated in the image data; a communication section that performs communication with either one or a plurality of external servers including at least one of a plurality of dictionary functions; a processing section that (i) specifies, from the dictionary functions, a dictionary function in accordance with a type of the marker portion, and (ii) causes the communication section to transmit, to the external server including the specified dictionary function, an instruction to search for a text indicated by the marker portion, and for information related to the text, by using the dictionary function; and a generation section that generates a glossary including the received information related to the text upon reception of the information related to the text as a search result from the external server by the communication section.

Electronic device and electronic device control method

A learning support device includes a storage portion which stores the images of model characters, an image reading portion which reads a practice sheet to generate image data, a determination portion which extracts, as an image of a determination target character, an image of a handwritten character present within the image data on the practice sheet, which acquires, from the storage portion, the image of the model character and which compares the image of the model character with the image of the determination target character so as to perform a pass/fail determination, a generation portion which generates image data on a report that includes result information indicating the result of the pass/fail determination and an output portion which outputs the report including the result information.

Learning support device and learning support method

A printing management system includes an image forming apparatus and a server apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes an acceptance section, a printing section, a reading section, a first transmission section, a first reception section, and a determination section. The determination section, when the acceptance section accepts a print request or a read request, determines whether or not template paper is to be printed, on the basis of the total number of printed copies and the total number of read copies received by the first reception section. The server apparatus includes a second reception section, a storage section, a counting section, and a second transmission section. The counting section obtains the total number of printed copies on the basis of the number of printed copies and user identification information, obtains the total number of read copies on the basis of the number of read copies and the user identification information.

An information processing apparatus includes a tool storage section, an acquisition method acceptance section, a template specification acceptance section, and an application creating section. The tool storage section stores a programming tool having a function of acquiring print data from an advertisement delivery server and a function of managing the print data. The acquisition method acceptance section is configured to accept setting of a data acquisition method for acquiring the print data. The template specification acceptance section is configured to accept specification of a template for use in printing the print data. The application creating section is configured to use the programming tool to create a communication application allowing acquisition of the print data according to the accepted data acquisition method and generation of an image according to the accepted template.

Information processing apparatus capable of creating communication application, computer-readable non-transitory recording medium with application creating program for creating communication application stored thereon, and programming tool

An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit, a scanning unit, an issuing unit, a storage unit, an information receiving unit, an identification unit, an authentication unit, and a communication control unit. The image data number issuing unit issues a unique image data number for image data. A user inputs the image data number of the image data, cloud information, a login ID, and a password into an external terminal. The external terminal transmits the input content to the image forming apparatus. The login authentication unit performs authentication on a cloud identified by the target cloud identification unit using the transmitted login ID and password. When login is successful, the upload control unit transmits the image data of the image data number to the cloud.

An image forming apparatus includes an application management unit that detects a restricted function of which use by a given user is inhibited from among functions within an application. The image forming apparatus further includes a function monitoring unit that registers the restricted function detected by the application management unit, and inhibits the user from executing the restricted function.

Image forming apparatus and image forming system

A data providing system is provided which includes: a storage section which stores an encoded file obtained by encoding a data file to be distributed with a predetermined common key and an encoded information file obtained by encoding an information data file including information on the common key with a private key different from the common key; and a file transfer section which transfers the encoded file and the encoded information file from the storage section to external electronic device.

Data providing system, data receiving system, computer-readable recording medium storing data providing program, and computer-readable recording medium storing data receiving program

An output management system includes a terminal device and an output device, wherein the output management system includes an area management device for managing an access of the user to an area in which the output device is located and a shutoff device for shutting off the access of the user to the area. The area management device has a storing unit for storing registered authentication data, an inputting unit for inputting input authenticated data, a checking unit for checking the input authenticated data and the registered authentication data, and a shutoff releasing unit for releasing the shutoff by the shutoff device when the input authenticated data and the registered authentication data conform to each other.
