An embodiment of the invention is a terminal device controlling a body support apparatus capable of a first operation and a second operation; the terminal device includes a displayer and a controller; the displayer displays an operator controlling an operation of the body support apparatus; the controller switches between a first display format and a second display format based on an instruction from an outside; the first display format displays a first operator and a second operator in the displayer; the first operator controls the first operation; the second operator controls the second operation; and the second display format displays one of the first operator or the second operator in the displayer.

Terminal device and program

An information processing system, an information processing method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The information processing system receives from a device, a number of times of writing operations to one or more memories included in the device and counter information of the device, determines whether there is a malfunction or a probability of malfunction based on the number of times of writing operations received from the device, and identifies software that causes or is likely to cause the malfunction based on the counter information in response to determination of the malfunction, or the probability of malfunction.

Information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory recording medium

According to an embodiment, a control device includes multiple operation buttons, an acceptance part, and a displayer. The multiple operation buttons can control an operation of a movable part of electric furniture. In a first state in which the acceptance part receives a first input, the displayer displays a first display between the multiple operation buttons. A bed system is provided in which the ease of use can be improved. A control device and electric furniture are provided in which the operationability can be improved.

Control device and electric furniture

According to an embodiment, a control device includes an operation part including an operation acceptor capable of accepting a control operation of a movable part of electric furniture, and includes a detector provided in the operation part. A non-accepting state in which the movable part is not controlled even when the operation acceptor receives an input transitions, based on a detection result of the detector, to an accepting state in which the movable part is controlled according to the control operation accepted by the operation acceptor. A control device and electric furniture are provided in which the operationability can be improved.

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes: an acquiring unit that acquires a job list in which a job, authorization information expressing authorization over a process of a job, and level of priority of the job are associated with one another; and an output unit that outputs preferentially a job with high level of the priority over a job with low level of the priority.

Information processing apparatus and method for selective prioritization of jobs

A printing control system includes a transmission part configured to transmit data from an information terminal to an image processor; an analysis part configured to analyze the data received from the information terminal; a format determining part configured to determine the data format of the received data based on the analysis result of the analysis part; a conversion requesting part configured to, in response to the format determining part determining that the data format of the received data is convertible into print data printable in the image processor, transmit the received data to a data converter and request the data converter to convert the received data into the print data; and a printing control part configured to print the print data returned from the data converter in response to the request of the conversion requesting part.

Printing control system, printing control method, and image processor

An operation inhibiting system includes an image forming apparatus in which programs are installed and an operation inhibition information providing apparatus, wherein the image forming apparatus includes a configuration information storing unit to store configuration information about the installed programs, an operation inhibition information acquiring unit to transmit the configuration information to the operation inhibition information providing apparatus, and to receive operation inhibition information that is transmitted from the operation inhibition information providing apparatus in response to the configuration information, the operation inhibition information indicating on a program-specific basis whether an operation to modify a configuration of an installed program is allowed, and an operation unit to inhibit the operation on the program based on the received operation inhibition information, wherein the operation inhibition information providing apparatus includes a unit that transmits the operation inhibition information responsive to the configuration information upon receiving the configuration information.

System, apparatus, and method for inhibiting operation that modifies program configuration

An information processor includes a first part storing one or more programs included in one or more packages; a second part correlating and retaining the package and version information of the programs on a program basis; a third part comparing, if one of the installed programs is to be installed, the version information of the installed one of the programs and the one of the programs to be installed; a fourth part determining whether the one of the programs to be installed is subordinate to a package other than a package including the one of the programs to be installed, if the version information of the one of the programs to be installed is determined to be lower; and a fifth part installing the one of the programs to be installed if the one of the programs to be installed is determined to be not subordinate to the other package.

Information processor, information processing method, and computer-readable storage medium

An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of functions related to an image forming process. The image forming apparatus includes a presentation layer, a logic layer, and a device layer. The presentation layer manages information received from a user and output for the user. Based on information received from the user in the presentation layer, the logic layer specifies a specific function from among the functions. The device layer controls the functions, and performs the specific function specified by the logic layer.
