In one embodiment, components within different hierarchical document levels of a document have individual access rights and various hierarchical relationships with other components on different hierarchical levels within the document. Rules for automatically propagating changes in access rights for subordinate document components to superordinate document components are maintained. When an access right for a subordinate document component is changed, the change is automatically propagated to one or more superordinate document components, if permitted by the associated rules.

Automatically propagating changes in document access rights for subordinate document components to superordinate document components

An information service apparatus provides information described in a language suitable for a user. The information service apparatus has an operation panel on which operation information on the information service apparatus is displayed. It is judged whether or not information can be provided in a language designated by discrimination information contained in a request from a terminal. When it is determined that the information in the language designated by the discrimination information cannot be provided, an operation panel language used for displaying the operation information on the operation panel is set as the language used for providing the information.

Information service apparatus and method, information display apparatus and information service system

An image processing apparatus including an input part configured to input document data of a document, an extracting part configured to automatically extract partial image data from the document data, a storage part configured to store the document data and configuration data of the document data, a registering part configured to associate the document data with the partial image data and register the document data and the associated partial image data in the storage part, a generating part configured to generate push-type data based on the configuration data, and a transmitting part configured to transmit the push-type data.

Image processing apparatus for generating and transmitting push-type data

A document management apparatus is disclosed. Document storing instruction information is acquired to instruct to store a second document information including a second information element, which is generated by copying a first information element included in a first document information. The second information element included in the second document information is acquired based on the acquired document storing instruction information. Then, it is instructed to store the second information element. Next, copy originator information concerning the first information element, which is included in the document storing instruction information and is a copy originator of the second information element, is acquired. Then, it is instructed to store association information for associating the second information element with the first information element based on the acquired copy originator information.

Document management apparatus, document management method, and computer-readable encoding medium recorded with a computer program

An information processing apparatus includes a partial image extracting unit configured to extract partial images from input documents, a meta information setting unit configured to associate a given one of the input documents with the partial images of the given one of the input documents to generate meta information indicative of the association regarding the given one of the input documents, and a search unit configured to search for and retrieve one of the input documents as a first document from the document storage unit to display the first document on a display unit, wherein the meta information setting unit adds copy-source information indicative of the partial image of the first document to the meta information regarding a second document of the input documents when the partial image of the first document is copied and pasted onto the second document.
