According to one embodiment, a control system includes a client terminal, a first server and a second server. The client terminal transmits an assignment request of an IP address including first identification information that uniquely identifies the client terminal and is set as a host name to the first server. The first server assigns an IP address to the client terminal in accordance with the request, and transmits the IP address and the host name to the second server. The second server transmits, when one or more items of second identification information include the first identification information set as the host name and when a setup process of the client terminal has not been performed, data for the process of the client terminal to the client terminal using the IP address.

Control system, electronic device, and control method

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes an input device configured to accept a user's operation and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to receive a virtual desktop image transmitted by the server apparatus, display the received virtual desktop image on a screen, transmit, in a case where a second operation other than a first operation is accepted while the virtual desktop image has been displayed, operation information indicative of the second operation to the server apparatus, and display on the screen an indicator forward of the virtual desktop image, in a case where the first operation is accepted while the virtual desktop image has been displayed, the indicator being provided to change setting of hardware of the electronic apparatus.

Electronic apparatus and method

According to one embodiment, a firmware stored in a ROM in an information processing device connects the information processing device to a first server through a network, and downloads a client program into a volatile memory in the information processing device from the first server. Also, the firmware launches the client program to connect the information processing device and a second server through the network, and turns off the power of the information processing device to erase content in the volatile memory, when the information processing device is disconnected from the network after connection between the information processing device and the second server is established.

Information processing device and operation control method

There is provided a production management system that requires no backup step for performing a backup operation when trouble occurs in a robot, and can increase workability of a repair operation of the robot. The production management system for a production line mixedly including robot operation steps and manual operation steps, including: a monitor that displays the cause of abnormality that occurs in the robot operation step; a warning device that warns of occurrence of abnormality in the robot operation step; and a robot reversing device that reverses the orientation of a robot when abnormality occurs in the robot, wherein production is continued by changing the robot operation step where the abnormality occurs to the manual operation step. Also, a repair operation is performed for the robot reversed by the robot reversing device.

Production management system

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a main body, an authentication unit which performs an authentication process, upon power-on of the main body, if authentication information is registered in the main body, the authentication process including a process to authenticate a user based on authentication information input by the user and the authentication information registered in the main body, and a forced-registration unit which performs a forced-registration process to request the user to register new authentication information and inhibit the main body from operating until the new authentication information is registered, upon power-on of the main body.

Information processing apparatus and method of controlling authentication process

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a processor which executes an operating system and an application, a first real time clock including a function of supplying time and date information to the operating system at a time when the operating system is booted, and an alarm function of booting the operating system at a set time and date, a second real time clock including a function of measuring a time and date, and a time and date information transmission processing unit which executes authentication processing and which executes processing of transmitting information to change the time and date measured by the second real time clock in a case where the authentication processing has been successful.

Information processing apparatus and time and date information change method

According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a main body, a first authentication unit which performs a first authentication process to authenticate a user when the main body is powered on, a second authentication unit which performs a second authentication process to authenticate the user after the user is authenticated in the first authentication process, and an authentication skip control unit which skips the first authentication process until a given time period elapses since the user is last authenticated in the second authentication process.

A PC card adapter and an I/O adapter as expansion devices respectively have discrimination circuits for outputting discrimination signals. A computer body has an expansion connector commonly used for the PC card adapter and the I/O card adapter, and an I/O controller. A selected one of the PC card adapter and the I/O adapter is connected to the expansion connector. The I/O controller has an input/output section commonly used for the PC card adapter and the I/O adapter and corresponding to the expansion connector, and a bus switching circuit for switching bus signal lines for input/output processing of interface signals input/output through the input/output section. With this arrangement, in a computer system using a plurality of types of expansion devices such as a PC card slot, a printer port, and a serial communication port, the number of input/output pins and the number of connectors of each controller for interfacing between a corresponding expansion device and the computer body can be decreased, thereby realizing reductions in the size and cost of the system.

Expansion device and computer system to which expansion device can be

In a computer system equipped with a hibernation type resume function including standby control functions, a power supply controller detects whether AC power or battery power is used as power for the system. When AC power is supplied, power is kept supplied to a memory even when a power switch is set off. When the power switch is set on later, an AC standby control function to set the system back to the operational state is executed based on the memory contents.
