An intermediate server acting as a relay between an information processing apparatus and an external server includes a first registration control unit that transmits registration information regarding an application software service of the external server to the information processing apparatus, and causes the information processing apparatus to execute a registration operation of pre-registering information for receiving the application software service; a storage unit that stores a template for re-registration information for re-registering the application software service; a detection unit that detects a change in network identification information regarding the intermediate server; and a second registration control unit that, when the change is detected, generates re-registration information that includes changed new network identification information regarding the intermediate server on the basis of the template, transmits the re-registration information to the information processing apparatus, and causes the information processing apparatus to execute a re-registration operation of re-registering the application software service.

Information communication system, intermediate server, and recording medium

A network system includes a first device for performing specific processing; a second device for causing the first device to perform the specific processing; and a server for supporting the second device in having access to the first device. The first device includes a first session establishing portion which has access to the server and to establish a first session between the first device and the server. The second device includes an address information transmission portion which sends address information indicating an address of the second device to the server, and a transfer portion which transfers the address information through the first session to the first device. The first device further includes a second session establishing portion which has access to the second device based on the address information and to establish a second session between the first device and the second device.

In the case of color purification, images do not appear unnatural even by an input profile other than a certain particular input profile, no considerable labor is required for creating profiles and no large memory area is required for storing the profiles. A color conversion method includes holding a color space used for color conversion for color data having specific color space characteristics in advance, comparing color space characteristics of the inputted color data with color space characteristics of the color space held in advance, performing color conversion using gradation characteristics of the inputted color data and a color space of the inputted color data when a difference between the color space characteristics is a set threshold level or less, and performing color conversion using the gradation conversion data of the inputted color data and the color space held in advance when the difference is over the set threshold level.
