An electronic whiteboard includes a power button, a display device, and circuitry that implements processes of detecting an operation of the power button being turned off, storing at least a part of visible information displayed on the display device from a time the power button was turned on until a time the power button was turned off in a first storage device upon detecting that the power button has been turned off, determining whether to display the visible information stored in the first storage device on the display device based on a first time corresponding to a power-on time recorded when the power button was turned on and a second time corresponding to the power-off time recorded immediately before the first time when the power button was turned off, and controlling the display device to display the stored visible information upon determining to display the stored visible information.

Electronic whiteboard, program, and information processing method

In response to a request for sending second candidate information of a first communication terminal to a second communication terminal, a communication management system adds at least one of the member communication terminals indicated by the second candidate information of the first communication terminal, to first candidate information of the second communication terminal.

Communication management system, communication terminal, communication system, and recording medium storing control program

A terminal is disclosed including a receiving unit receiving list data specifying destination terminals with which the terminal initiates communications and status data representing statuses of the destination terminals; a creation unit creating a list to display identifiers of the destination terminals using the data, wherein a sequence in which the identifiers are arranged in the list is updated; and a display unit displaying the list including identifiers of the destination terminals and a cursor to select the identifier; wherein the display unit selects one of modes depending on whether one of the identifiers at a position is pointed to by the cursor in response to a user operation, and in one mode, the display unit maintains the cursor at the position despite a change in a position of the selected identifier resulting from the update, and in another mode, the display unit moves the cursor to a new position.

Information processing terminal, information processing method, and program

A management system modifies a group of one or more member communication terminals indicated by first candidate information of a first communication terminal in response to information indicating to modify the first candidate information of the first communication terminal to generate second candidate information of a second communication terminal.

A transmission terminal includes: a memory to store, for each one of a plurality of candidate counterpart terminals that the transmission terminal is capable of communicating, address information indicating at least a location of the candidate counterpart terminal on a network; a user interface to receive a user input of address information of a counterpart terminal, and a communication start request that requests to start communication with the counterpart terminal; a processing circuitry to store the address information of the counterpart terminal received at the user interface in the memory, to register the counterpart terminal as a candidate counterpart terminal for the terminal; and a transmitter to send a request to start communication with the counterpart terminal using the address information of the counterpart terminal that is received at the user interface.

Apparatus, system, and method of managing data, and recording medium

A counterpart terminal information management system () includes: a terminal manager () that manages, for each one of a plurality of terminals (), terminal identification information for identifying the terminal, and terminal related information previously set by default, in association with each other; a counterpart terminal manager () that manages, for each one of the plurality of terminals (), the terminal identification information for identifying the terminal, counterpart terminal identification information for identifying a candidate counterpart terminal that may be requested by the terminal to have communication with, and counterpart terminal related information individually set by a user who operates the terminal (), in association with one another; a receiver () that receives, from a first terminal (), a request to share a candidate counterpart terminal managed for the first terminal () with the second terminal (), and information indicating whether to permit or reject sharing of the counterpart terminal related information individually set by the user of the first terminal () with the second terminal (); and a transmitter () that transmits information regarding the candidate counterpart terminal managed for the first terminal () to the second terminal (ac). In response to the information indicating to permit sharing of the counterpart terminal related information, the transmitter () transmits the counterpart terminal related information of the candidate counterpart terminal to be shared, which is managed by the counterpart terminal manager () in association with the terminal identification information of the first terminal (). in response to the information indicating to reject sharing of the counterpart terminal related information, the transmitter () transmits the terminal related information of the candidate counterpart terminal to be shared, which is managed by the terminal manager () in association with the terminal identification information of the candidate counterpart terminal.

Counterpart terminal information management system, communication terminal, communication system, and recording medium

A license management server connected to an MFP includes an activating unit that, upon receiving an application activation request from the MFP, accesses a license management DB, and, when the number of licenses associated with a product key of the application in the license management DB is one or greater, grants a license for the application to the MFP and cancels the license for the application granted to the MFP upon receiving a deactivation request, and a license managing unitthat decrements the number of licenses by one when the license for the application has been granted to the MFP and increments the number of licenses by one when the license for the application granted to the MFP has been canceled.

License management server, license management method, and computer program product

A display control apparatus includes a number of items determining unit which determines the number of selection items to be simultaneously displayed in an item selection list on an operating screen based on a selection of a button on the operating screen, a position determining unit which determines an upper end position of the item selection list on the operating screen to be a position so that a part of the selection items in the item selection list is displayed in a direction inverse to a normal extending direction of the selection item list with a position of the selected button as a reference based on a comparison of the number of the selection items to be simultaneously displayed with the displayable number of selection items on the operating screen, and a generating unit which generates the item selection list on the operating screen based on the determined position.
