An image forming apparatus includes: a controller that controls the image forming apparatus; a memory that stores noise levels produced by a plurality of devices constituting the image forming apparatus during operation of the devices; and a microphone that accepts a speech instruction for the image forming apparatus. The controller accepts a job, detects a speech level from the speech accepted by the microphone, compares the detected speech level with a noise level that corresponds to the job to be executed in the image forming apparatus and that has been read from the memory, and controls, based on a result of the comparison, which one of a process of accepting the speech instruction and a process of executing the job in the image forming apparatus should be preferentially performed.

Based on one metadata template determined from among a plurality of metadata templates, a screen including a scan image, a plurality of keys defined in the one determined metadata template, and value input fields each corresponding to a different one of the plurality of keys is displayed, and in a case where a user selects any one of the plurality of keys displayed in the screen, character string areas determined to match a data format of a value corresponding to the key are displayed in such a manner that the character string areas are recognizable as value candidates on the scan image.

Control capture of execution screen

Provided is an image forming apparatus to control capturing of an execution screen displayed. A memory stores at least one application. A user interface device displays an execution screen of an application, to which a user is logged in with an identification (ID) of the user, and receives an input of capturing the execution screen. A processor determines an authority of the ID of the user to capture the execution screen by comparing a security level of the execution screen set based on the data displayed on the execution screen and a security level of the user set with respect to the ID of the user. The processor, in response to the input, controls the capturing of the execution screen, based on the determined authority of the ID of the first user.

An image processing apparatus includes an input unit configured to input image data, a learning unit configured to perform machine learning processing using information contained in the image data input by the input unit, an estimation unit configured to output an estimation result based on the information contained in the image data using a learning model generated by learning of the learning unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether the image data input by the input unit contains sensitive information, wherein in a case where the determination unit determines that the image data input by the input unit contains the sensitive information, the learning unit does not perform machine learning on at least the sensitive information contained in the image data.

Information processing system, device, and method

An information processing system includes a first display control unit and a second display control unit. The first display control unit displays, on a display unit, a button on which a setting value of a program is displayed. The second display control unit starts up the program when the button is pressed and, in accordance with the started program, displays, on the display unit, a setting screen that corresponds to the button being pressed.

POWER MODE SWITCHING

An image forming apparatus includes a user interface device, an image forming operation unit, a detection sensor having a two-dimensional structure including a plurality of sensor columns of sensors, a power supply to supply power to the user interface device and the image forming operation unit according to power modes including a sleep mode and a standby mode, in which the power supply is to supply more power in the standby mode than in the sleep mode, and a controller. The controller is to switch a power mode from the sleep mode to the stand-by mode, when a first condition is satisfied based on sensor data detected by the sensor columns, the first condition being a condition in which results of calculations performed on data, of the sensor data, corresponding to consecutive sensor columns among the plurality of sensor columns are each equal to or greater than a threshold value simultaneously for a period of time, to indicate detection of a human body, and to control the power supply to supply power corresponding to the switched power mode to the user interface device and the image forming operation unit.

DISTRIBUTING AND MANAGING COLOR PROFILE

An image forming apparatus determines whether a first image forming apparatus and the image forming apparatus are a same model, based on a first color profile used to determine a color output via a first image forming operation, and generates a second color profile that the image forming apparatus uses to output the same or a similar color to the color output via the first image forming operation.
