An image processing apparatus includes an authenticating unit, a first communication interface, a second communication interface, an image forming unit, and a managing unit. The first communication interface is disposed for communication with an external apparatus, the second communication interface differs from the first communication interface and can connect to an external apparatus if a predetermined requirement for operation is satisfied. The image forming unit forms an image on a medium in accordance with an execution instruction received from an external apparatus via the first communication interface or the second communication interface. The managing unit handles one process performed by the image forming unit separately from the image forming unit.

An information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium and for processing information are provided. The information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive image data; cause a display to display the received image data; and move, in response to a user instruction, a portion of the image data from a first place to a second place on the display. The portion of the image data is a partial region of an entire region of the image data. While the portion of the image data is being moved from the first place to the second place, the portion of the image data is displayed at the first place.

Disclosed is a printing device including: a finger stage which has a nail rest, having an identifier, to place a tip of a nail, the nail being a printing target, and on which a finger corresponding to the nail is placed; and at least one camera which obtains an image from a first direction and an image from a second direction. The identifier which detects a position of the nail is provided on one surface of the nail rest such that the identifier does not exist in the image from the first direction but the identifier exists in the image from the second direction.

An image processing service system includes an operation request accepting unit, a setting accepting unit, a payment control unit, and an operation execution control unit. The operation request accepting unit accepts an operation request for an image processing apparatus through a chat between a user and a chatbot participating in a chat service on a chat board provided by the service. The setting accepting unit accepts a setting for an operation of the image processing apparatus requested by the operation request. The payment control unit makes a payment for the operation of the image processing apparatus requested by the operation request through an electronic payment system available on the chat service. The operation execution control unit controls the image processing apparatus to execute the operation requested by the operation request after the setting is accepted by the setting accepting unit and the payment is made by the payment control unit.

An information processing device includes: a processor configured to: when (i) in addition to a first image forming device on which a user is about to use a service, a second image forming device on which the user used the service is present, the second image forming device being different from the first image forming device and (ii) a server in which basic settings of setting items of the service are registered is present, selectively reflect at least one of (a) setting items of the service registered in the second image forming device or (b) the basic settings of the service registered in the server, in the information processing device according to a predetermined condition.

A system includes one or more processors to receive a representation of a document from a client computing device, the document comprising one of a scanned document, a faxed document, and an electronic document, determine a document type of the document based at least on the representation of the document, index the document using a classification and index processing engine based on the document type, the document type comprising at least one of a plurality of document types used by an electronic health record (EHR) system, extract index data from the document based on the document type using the classification and index processing engine, and match the document with a patient from a database of the EHR system using the index data when the classification and index processing engine successfully indexes the document and extracts index data from the document.

Systems and methods provide for automatically generating a data model that includes a first data feed conforming to industry standards where only alerts for alert triggering violations are provided. The data model further comprises a second data feed that includes both the alerts from the first data feed and a plurality of synthetic alerts for any violations that occur in a data center but do not qualify as alert triggering violations. This second data feed provides a complete picture of the performance of a data center's devices and allows for accurate analytics.

An image capturing device may capture image data for processing to form an image. The image capturing device may perform a hashing procedure on the image data, wherein performing the hashing procedure generates a hash value of the image data. The image capturing device may provide, to an image authentication device, the hash value of the image data, wherein the hash value of the image data is to be used by the image authentication device to validate the image based on a request to authenticate the image received from a receiving device. The image capturing device may process the image data to form the image for display to a user. The image capturing device may provide, after providing the hash value of the image data to the image authentication device, the image for display to the user.

A sample storage device executes acquisition processing of acquiring an album created by combining a template with an image, alteration processing of altering a face of a person included in the image in the album to a state where specifying an individual is difficult, and storage processing of storing the album on which the alteration processing is performed in a database as a sample to be used for creating a new album.

An imaging control method is provided. The method may include obtaining a current image generated based on an exposure parameter, wherein the current image includes a plurality of pixels; determining a plurality of target pixels or target pixel groups from at least portion of the plurality of pixels; determining a statistic representation based on target pixels or target pixel groups; determining a characteristic feature based on the statistic representation; and, updating the exposure parameter, based on the characteristic feature, to generate an updated image.
