An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry displays one or more screens that receive an operation by a user. The circuitry identifies an operation item corresponding to the operation based on display information of the one or more screens, according to the operation by on the one or more screens. The circuitry generates an operation component associated with a condition corresponding to the operation item. The circuitry generates a flow of operations based on the operation component according to an order of operations by the user. The circuitry compares multiple flows with one another, to extract a difference between multiple operation components included in one of the multiple flows and multiple operation components included in another one of the multiple flows. The circuitry adds an operation component of a conditional branch before one of the multiple operation components for which the difference is extracted.

Information processing apparatus, flow generation method, and computer program product

An information processing system includes a service providing system and an apparatus that mutually communicate via a network. The service providing system includes a processing method storage configured to register a processing method in association with identification information of output data; and a first communicator that transmits, to the apparatus, the output data to which the identification information is appended. The apparatus includes an outputter that outputs the output data received from the service providing system together with the identification information; an inputter that accepts input of input data based on the output data output by the outputter; and a second communicator that transmits, to the service providing system, the input data input by the inputter, to which the identification information is appended. The service providing system performs a process on the input data by the processing method associated with the identification information appended to the input data.

Information processing system, information processing method, and apparatus for extending a workflow

An information processing system includes circuitry configured to store, in a memory, one or more feature value patterns associated with appearance attribute of one or more groups of persons calculated from a plurality of acquired image data using machine learning, in which each one of the groups assumed to have a unique group value being different for each one of the groups, receive image data of a target person input as analysis target data, analyze an appearance attribute of the target person in the image data using the one or more feature value patterns associated with the appearance attribute of the one or more groups stored in the memory, and output a response corresponding to an analysis result of the appearance attribute of the target person.

Image attribute processing system, image attribute processing apparatus, and method of processing image attributes

There is provided a management system for managing a manuscript of a book in a plurality of steps, works serially performed on the manuscript being divided into the steps, the management system comprising: a print control unit configured to generate data for printing out sheets in response to receiving a print request of manuscript data, respective pages in the manuscript data being incorporated in the sheets, wherein the manuscript data is generated by digitizing the manuscript including the respective pages, and the respective sheets include identification information items which are made unique on a sheet-by-sheet basis and used for determining properness of the respective sheets, the identification information items indicating a step among the steps which includes a work most lately performed.
