An account management system is provided. The system comprises an information terminal; a peripheral device; an account management server; and a peripheral device management server. The information terminal transmits a request a first token from the peripheral device management server and receives the first token. The information terminal transmits an account registration request for the peripheral device, together with the first token, to the account management server. The account management server obtains the peripheral device management information of the peripheral device from the peripheral device management server using the first token, registers an account of the peripheral device, and transmits authentication information of that account to the information terminal. The information terminal stores the received authentication information.

Account management system, account management method, information terminal and medium

A printing system allowing an administrator to conveniently limit a function of a print device when used by a general user is provided. The printing system includes a print device, an information processing apparatus in which a general-purpose printer driver commonly usable for a plurality of models of print devices is initially set as a cloud printer driver used when printing is performed by the print device, a first server, and a second server. The printing system increases or decreases the number of functions settable by a general user by using the cloud printer driver. The first server manages an APPID of the print setting extension application to be installed when the general user uses the print device as print setting extension application designation information in association with a GUID of the print device. The second server manages a plurality of print setting extension applications in association with their APPIDs.

Printing system allowing administrator to conveniently limit function of print device when used by general user, information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus enables a user to easily grasp the number of images to be combined to a frame. In a case where a plurality of images are combinable to a frame selected by using a communication application, a request message to request transmission of a plurality of images is transmitted via a network.

Information processing apparatus and control method to enable a user to specify the number of images to be combined in a frame

An information processing apparatus, capable of communicating with a printing apparatus and an image server, includes an acquisition unit, a generation unit, an instruction unit, and a display control unit. The acquisition unit acquires sheet information about a sheet loaded in the printing apparatus. The generation unit generates a search condition for causing the image server to search for image data, based on the acquired sheet information. The instruction unit causes the image server to execute search processing based on the search condition. The display control unit displays a screen displaying a result of the search processing that is executed based on the search condition by the image server.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

In the system, the image forming apparatus includes a unit that sends the status information of the image forming apparatus to the management server, and a unit that requests the web service provided by the service server to register device information, and the service server includes a unit that register and manage user information of a user of the web service provided by the service server, a unit that, in response to a request from the image forming apparatus, registers the device information of the image forming apparatus and user information managed in association with each other, and a unit that issues, to the user of the image forming apparatus that is registered with the web service, a notification related to the image forming apparatus, using the status information provided by the management server.

System and control method therefor

The installation of multiple applications by an installer is executed in a mode that does not display an error message in a display device. Upon an installation performed by the installer ending, the result of the installation performed by the installer is determined. As a result of the determination, an installer that failed at the installation is caused to re-execute the installation of the application whose installation failed in a mode that displays an error message in the display device. As a result of the re-execution, an error message is displayed in the display device by the installer that failed at the installation.

Information processing apparatus and installation method

An apparatus includes an association unit, a setting unit, and an arrangement unit. The association unit associates an image with a display region reference point through an image reference point of the image. Here, a number of display region reference points disposed in a display region is equal to or more than the number of images to be arranged in the display region. The setting unit sets, in the display region and for each image, an image reference point arrangement region based on a size of the image associated with the display region reference point and based on a position of the display region reference point associated with the image. The arrangement unit arranges each image in the display region by positioning the image reference point of the image within the image reference point arrangement region associated with the image.

Apparatus for controlling arrangement of each image when arranging one or more images, and method thereof

An apparatus comprising: a determination unit configured to determine whether an object image satisfies a predetermined standard, if the object image is changed to a standard image size predetermined; a changing unit configured to change the standard image size predetermined, in case that the object image does not satisfy a predetermined standard by the determination unit; a generation unit configure to change the image to the image standard image size predetermined set or the standard image size changed by the standard image size changing unit and to generate the layout image.

Apparatus which layout one or more images and produce output, and the method thereof

A PCrecognizes a connection of the multipurpose machineto the network, and a first driver, which corresponds to information equipment provided by the recognized device, is installed on the PC. The PCacquires a supplement installer that installs a second driver, which enables the functions of the device to be used, on the PCfrom the IHV Web serverupon installation of the first driver on the PC. Then, the supplement installer determines whether or not the second driver needs to be installed on the PC. When the second driver needs to be installed on the PC, the second driver is installed on the PC

Information processing apparatus, method for controlling same, installation method, and storage medium

A data processing apparatus includes a storage unit that stores print history data, and a display unit that displays a screen for introducing recommended software based on the print history data.
