An image processing system includes a main unit of an image processing apparatus and an operational unit. The operational unit includes a request receiver that receives a request to modify operational unit administrative information, an administrative information modifying unit that modifies the operational unit administrative information in response to the received request to modify, and an administrative information reporting unit that reports modified content of the operational unit administrative information to the main unit of the image processing apparatus. The main unit of the image processing apparatus includes an apparatus information synchronizer that modifies the apparatus administrative information that corresponds to the reported modified content after receiving the modified content of the operational unit administrative information from the operational unit.

An edition control system includes a screen manager managing UI part information indicating a UI part displayable on a UI screen; a user information manager managing screen configuration information of the UI screen for each of users; an edition controller, when receiving a display request, generating screen information of the UI screen based on the UI part information and the screen configuration information corresponding to the user of the display request; a Web application controller generating Web screen information of a Web screen; and a Web browser displaying the Web screen based on the Web screen information. Further, upon acquiring the edition information from the Web application controller, the edition controller sets the screen configuration information of the UI screen based on the edition information in the user information manager.

Remote editing of a user interface with validity confirmation

An information processing system, an operating device, and computer-readable storage medium. The operating device acquires, from an operation application program installed in the operating device, function information that indicates a function provided by the operation application program, acquires use authority information that is stored in a use-authority information storage device and is related to user identification information on an operating user that operates the operating device, determines whether the operating user has authority to use the function provided by the operation application program by using the use authority information acquired and the function information acquired, and performs the function when the operating user has the authority to use the function.

An image processing apparatus includes a file management unit that manages files for image output, a file registration unit that registers the files, an output-configuration-information management unit that manages output configuration information, an output-configuration-information registration unit that registers the output configuration information, a data creation unit that creates the data in accordance with the output configuration information, and an output determination unit. When the file registration unit registers each of the files to the file management unit, the output determination unit determines whether the combined image can be outputted in accordance with certain output conditions. The output-configuration-information management unit registers predetermined output configuration information for the combined image and adds an output condition of the file that can be outputted to the output configuration information of the combined image.

Image processing apparatus, method of managing image output, and storage medium

A job management system includes a print server and an image forming apparatus. The print server publishes, on a network, a print-job information list in an RSS format. The image forming apparatus spontaneously obtains and reads the print-job information list, and, based on the print-job information list, requests the print server to transmit a print job. In response to the request, the print server transmits the print job to the image forming apparatus.
