In an aspect, a computing system is configured to: send, to a transfer rail server, a request for stored card data associated with a value transfer card; receive stored card data identifying an entity having a stored representation of the value transfer card; provide user interface data to a client device, the user interface data causing the client device to display a user interface that includes an entity listing that is based on the stored card data, the user interface including a selectable option to add an entity-based control to the identified entity; receive, from the client device, an instruction to apply an entity-based control to an identified one of the entities in the stored card data; and in response to receiving the instruction to apply the entity-based control, implement the entity-based control to affect use of the value transfer card by the identified entity and not affect use of the value transfer card by other entities.

A method provides for language selection on a shared local user interface, such as an interface for operating a printer that is used by multiple users having a variety of first languages. The method includes providing at least one mechanism on a shared local user interface for selection of one of an original set of languages for text to be displayed on the local user interface. One mechanism may include displaying text in each of the languages contemporaneously or sequentially. At a plurality of times, a respective user's selection of one of the original set of languages is received. Based on a plurality of user selections, a modified set of languages can be learned which is then used in place of the original set of languages when providing the at least one language selection mechanism at a subsequent time.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming device forming an image indicated by print data on a recording sheet; and a control device including a processor and functioning, through the processor executing a control program, as a controller configured to: extract text contained in the print data to determine a kind of a language of the text extracted; determine, for each determined kind of the language, whether to record the text consisting of the language of the determined kind; and when determining that the text is to be recorded, cause the image forming device to image form the text consisting of the language of the determined kind on the recording sheet, and, when determining that the text is not to be recorded, not to cause the image forming device to image form the text consisting of the language of the determined kind on the recording sheet.

An information processing apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface may acquire an image, such as by scanning or received via an interface, such as a facsimile machine. The processor may use a character recognition engine to execute a character recognition process on the image. The process is configured to stop the character recognition process on the image when the elapsed recognition process time exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The processor is further configured to restart the character recognition process on the image when a restart condition is satisfied. As such, the processor thus may skip certain images that require unusually long processing time for character recognition and the processor may process and send out results on other images that do not require excessive character recognition processing time.

A server apparatus, a voice operation system, and a voice operation method, each of which: acquires, from an image forming apparatus, a language type of a display language used for display at the image forming apparatus; stores the language type of the display language; acquires, from a speaker, voice operation that instructs to change the display language; identifies a language type of a targeted language based on the voice operation; and determines whether the language type of the display language matches the language type of the targeted language. Based on a determination that the language type of the display language does not match the language type of the targeted language, the server apparatus instructs the image forming apparatus to change from the language type of the display language to the language type of the targeted language. Based on a determination that the language type of the display language matches the language type of the targeted language, the server apparatus disregards the instruction to change the language type of the display language of the image forming apparatus.

An image processing device includes a reception unit, an acquisition unit, and a setting unit. The reception unit receives image data that is not associated with language information. The acquisition unit acquires language information from a result of analysis of the image data received by the reception unit. The setting unit sets a language displayed on a display, based on the language information acquired by the acquisition unit.

An information processing apparatus includes a transmission unit that performs facsimile transmission to a destination and a changing unit that changes, in accordance with a language registered in the information processing apparatus, size of a certain area, in which characters including source characters for identifying a facsimile source are to be formed, of a sheet output at the destination as a result of the facsimile transmission in a height direction of the characters.

The present invention provides an information processing apparatus having a display unit that displays a screen on which a pointing tool corresponding to a function is disposed. The information processing apparatus obtains a display language of the screen and obtains a language of the pointing tool, and in a case where the display language differs from the language, displays, on the display unit, a confirmation screen for confirming with a user whether to execute the function corresponding to the pointing tool in response to an instruction given by the user via the pointing tool.

An improved information processing apparatus, method, and a non-transitory recording medium storing instructions for executing an information processing method are provided. The information processing apparatus acquires setting information on a language displayed on a display device by the information processing apparatus, acquires correspondence information stored in a conversion table indicating correspondence between the language and a code page, determines a target character code based on the acquired setting information and the correspondence information, and converts a character code of data to be output to an external device into the identified target character code.
