An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with one or more devices via a network, includes: a receiver to receive, from a first device of the devices, a screen request that requests an application providing screen, the screen request including shop information indicating a first shop that sells the first device; and circuitry to: obtain application correspondence information that associates shop information indicating the shop, application identification information for identifying one or more applications sold by the shop, and use promotion information indicating whether each application is a use-promoted application; and specify, from among one or more applications associated with the shop information indicating the first shop, a first application having first identification information that is associated with the use promotion information indicating the use-promoted application, using the application correspondence information; and a transmitter to transmit, to the first device, an application providing screen for display at the first device, the application providing screen including information regarding the first application identified with the first application identification information as a recommended application for the first device.

Information processing system and information processing method for generating an application providing screen for display at a requesting device

According to an embodiment, an image processing device includes a document read unit, a display unit, input receiving unit, an image processing unit, and image forming unit. The document read unit reads a document. The display unit displays a read image that is read by the document read unit. The input receiving unit receives user's input of information at any position on the read image that is displayed on the display unit. The image processing unit masks at least part of the read image based on the information received by the input receiving unit. The image forming unit conducts image formation of the read image that is masked by the image processing unit.

Image processing device and method for conducting image formation of a masked read image

An image processing system comprises a generating unit that reads documents and generates a read image including document images; an extracting unit that extracts each of the document images; a character recognizing unit that performs character recognition processing on each the document images; a determining unit that determines whether first information and second information have a pair relationship, the first information being any one of recognition results obtained on one side of the document images, and the second information being any one of recognition results obtained on the other side of the document images; and a registering unit that registers pieces of information for the recognition results corresponding to the one side and to the other side respectively including the first information and the second information which are determined that both pieces of information have the pair relationship, as information for a piece of the documents, in a storage unit.
