The operation unit (5) is configured to receive user's operation and supported at a position frontward of the image reading unit (2) by the support housing (10) so as to be rotatable within a predetermined rotation range around a rotation shaft parallel to a right-left direction of the image formation apparatus (100). The information reading unit (6) is configured to read information about the user and housed in the housing side surface (12) so that a part of the information reading unit (6) is present rearward of the operation unit (5) in a first attitude in which a surface of the operation unit (5) is closest to a vertical plane, and a part of the information reading unit (6) is present downward of the operation unit (5) in a second attitude in which the surface of the operation unit (5) is closest to a horizontal plane.

Provided is an electronic device in which, after user authentication is executed on the basis of identification information of a user acquired through a reader configured to read information from a contactless medium, a control unit causes a display unit to display a home screen when no job corresponding the identification information is registered, the control unit executes a process according to one piece of a job when only the one job is registered, and the control unit executes a process according to a job selected through an operation of the user from among two or more jobs when the two or more jobs are registered.

An image forming apparatus capable of communicating with one or more information processing apparatuses via a network, includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured to perform log generation of generating a plurality of types of logs including a log related to a job, and to perform log storage of storing the plurality of types of logs, wherein the log storage stores a first type log and a second type log larger than the first type log in volume when the job is a job related to a first condition of using an external network, and stores the first type log and does not store the second type log when the job is a job related to a condition different from the first condition.

A storage device stores an operation history in which at least one of four types of data, picture, graphic, symbol, and keyword, in a first data set used in image formation on a sheet by the image forming device is associated with a setting data set manipulated by a user during the image formation. An image reading device reads an original document for use in forming an image and generates a second data set. A comparator compares at least one of the four types of data in each of the stored first data sets with at least corresponding one type of data in the second data set and selects the first data set consistent with the second data set. A screen creator uses the setting data set associated with the selected first data set to create a setting screen for image formation. A display device displays the created setting screen.

A system is configured to include a device provided with a SIM and a device management server, wherein the SIM and a contract are managed in association with each other, and when the SIM is mounted on a device, second identification information that identifies the device is associated with the SIM and is transmitted to the device management server, and in a case in which the second identification information associated with the SIM has changed, the second identification information is registered in the contract when the device is determined to have a contract that is identical to the contract. The determination of whether or not a device has a contract that is identical to the contract is performed based on the position information of the SIM.

A system wherein a cloud server assigns a customer site as a tenant with an organization number of the customer site and notifies a customer administrator of the organization number; an MFP notifies the cloud server of the organization number entered by the customer administrator and queries the cloud server about a subdirectory name of the customer site; the cloud server notifies the MFP of the subdirectory name associated with the notified organization number; the MFP notifies the customer site accessed using the notified subdirectory name of a serial number of the MFP; and the customer site manages the notified serial number.

An information processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a service. In a case where the information processing apparatus receives a registration request for registering an image forming apparatus in the service, the information processing apparatus issues an access token based on an output authority of an instructing user who has given an instruction to transmit the registration request, and transmits the issued access token to the image forming apparatus.

A communication system comprising an information processing apparatus and a mobile terminal, wherein when the mobile terminal receives a packet transmitted from the information processing apparatus, it determines whether or not a login condition for transmitting a login request is satisfied based on a received signal strength of the packet, and it transmits the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it determines that the login condition is satisfied, and does not transmit the login request to the information processing apparatus in a case where it is determines that the login condition is not satisfied.

Provided is an image processing apparatus which includes a display, is able to read card information from a card, and provides at least any of a function using a scanner and a function using a printer, the image processing apparatus including: an execution unit configured to execute, if card information associated with a user account is detected, a login process to the image processing apparatus based on the user account; and a control unit configured to call, if the same card information is detected during a login state according to the login process, a shortcut corresponding to the card information in the login state, wherein, if the shortcut is called, a screen for a function associated with the shortcut is displayed on the display in a state in which a setting value group corresponding to the shortcut is applied.

An image forming apparatus operable by an operation device includes a storage that stores a plurality of operations, a detector that detects an operation, and a controller. The controller registers a terminal as the operation device if an operation detected by the detector conforms with an operation stored in the storage.
