An image registration device includes: an associated image acquisition unit that acquires an associated image associated with a document image read from a medium on which the document image is formed, a predetermined process being to be performed on the document image; and a registration unit that registers the associated image acquired by the associated image acquisition unit with the associated image being assigned to the predetermined process.

Image registration device, image registration system, image registration method and computer readable medium that register the associated image acquired by the associated image acquisition unit with the associated image being assigned to the predetermined process

An information processing apparatus includes a file obtaining unit, a saving unit, a save-state information storage unit, an accepting unit, an updating unit, and a transmitting unit. The file obtaining unit obtains a first file from a file management apparatus that manages the first file. The saving unit saves the first file. The save-state information storage unit stores save-state information about a save state of the first file. The accepting unit accepts a manipulation performed on the first file saved in the saving unit. The updating unit updates the save-state information, when the save state of the first file is changed in response to the accepted manipulation. The transmitting unit transmits the save-state information to the file management apparatus.

An information processing apparatus includes a creation unit and a registration unit. The creation unit acquires first limited use information which is associated with a designated object and stored in an object storage unit from the object storage unit in accordance with an instruction to specify the designated object, and creates second limited use information containing information indicated by the acquired first limited use information and described in a different form from the acquired first limited use information. The registration unit registers the second limited use information created by the creation unit in a second limited use storage unit.

An operation support system includes a progress information providing unit, an entry device, and an updating unit. The progress information providing unit stores progress information indicating to which operation stage an operation procedure has progressed and provides the progress information in response to a request made from an external device. The entry device includes an entry tool and a reading device. The entry tool makes an entry into a paper form associated with the operation procedure. When an entry is made into an entry field of the paper form using the entry tool, the reading device reads identification information presented in the entry field. The updating unit updates the progress information, which is stored in the progress information providing unit, based on an operation stage associated with the identification information, which is read from the entry field by the reading device.

Operation support system

One or more computer-readable media on which is stored a program for selecting an optimum electronic ticket among a plurality of electronic tickets for imparting rights of use of content, the stored program causing a computer to execute functions comprising: extracting a plurality of electronic tickets corresponding to a content; and selecting the optimum electronic ticket among the extracted electronic tickets by comparing conditions of use of content included in the respective extracted electronic tickets.

Medium storing program selecting electronic ticket, electronic ticket processing apparatus and electronic ticket selection method

Distributors can verify a signature without acquisition of a certificate for each signer from the certificate authority. A signature part calculates a hash value of distribution information and sets it to a variable h (step S). Signer private information is taken out from a first signer private information storage part and set to the variable d (step S). A signature key information selection part takes out signature key information corresponding to a product identifier pid from a signature key information storage part and sets it to the variable t, n (step S). A signature part calculates a first signature value to the variable h by use of signer private information d and sets it to the variable r(step S). A distribution information generating part calculates a second signature value to the variable h by use of a signature key information t according to the variable h (step S). A signature value to the final variable h is calculated by use of the results rand r

Distribution information management system and method

A data management system which enables a user to flexibly make corresponding relation between data stored in a existing database, and a data file and a program for processing the data file, is disclosed. A user register in advance corresponding relation between a data unit stored in a existing database, and a data file and a program for processing the data file, both of which exist outside of said first database. After the retrieval of the data unit from the existing database, if the corresponding relation for the retrieved data unit is registered, the program related to the data unit is activated for processing the related data file in response to the user's instruction.

Data management system, that enables a user to connect existing data to

The present invention provides an information outputting apparatus which stores data in an information storage medium and forms an image based on the data on a recording sheet, and the information outputting apparatus comprises inputting means for inputting the data, image forming means for forming an image of at least a part of the data inputted by the inputting means on the recording sheet, storing means for storing the data inputted by the inputting means in the information storage medium, recording sheet ejecting means for ejecting the recording sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming means to the outside of the apparatus, and information storage medium ejecting means for ejecting the information storage medium in which the data is stored by the storing means to the outside of the apparatus in synchronization with the ejecting of the recording sheet by the recording sheet ejecting means.

Information outputting apparatus

A data unit group handling apparatus which handles a file system for storing a plurality of files defined by different kind of file formats, and at least one of the files is a data unit group which is defined by a predetermined file format, includes data units and can be located in any location in the file system. In the apparatus, at least one data unit group is retrieved from the file system in accordance with the file format, a selection instruction is received from a user to select at least one of the data unit group from the retrieved at least one data unit group, retrieval condition to retrieve at least one data unit is also received, and at least one of the data unit matching to the received retrieval condition from the at least one of the data unit group which is selected in accordance with the received selection instruction.
