During TRIM processing, an apparatus cannot read/write data from/to a semiconductor storage device, and thus cannot perform processing using the device. If the TRIM processing is executed irrespective of a user's intention, the user is to wait for completion of the TRIM processing before performing a desired function of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a nonvolatile storage unit having semiconductor areas, a control unit configured to count a value of at least one type of data, an execution unit configured to execute TRIM processing that notifies the storage unit of an unused area among the semiconductor areas and performs wear leveling on an area in use among the semiconductor areas, and a notification unit configured to provide a notification prompting the execution of the TRIM processing when the counted value of the data satisfies a condition for a threshold.

Methods and systems for secure applications running web view applications are disclosed. In some aspects, user data may be secured within a first security domain, that is inaccessible to a web view application running within a second application. The second application accesses the user data via a second security domain, when a request is received from the web view application to display a user interface. The second application then displays a user interface based at least in part, on the user data.

A display control device includes a display section and a display controller. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a first image and a second image. The first image is displayed in an upper layer for the second image. The first image represents a category item. The second image represents a setting item belonging to the category item. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a predetermined image in the first image according to the setting item that has been entered.

An image forming apparatus are installed with a plurality of applications each for executing at least one of a plurality of functions of the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a memory to store first information associating each of the plurality of applications with at least one of the plurality of functions executed by the application. The image forming apparatus further includes circuitry configured to: set, for each of the plurality of functions, restriction information indicating whether or not to restrict use of the function; and control, in a screen including icons each for starting a corresponding one of the plurality of applications, a display state of each of the icons of the applications based on the restriction information set by the circuitry for the function associated with the application by the first information.

An information processing apparatus includes a setting reception section and a posture acquisition section. The information processing apparatus outputs a scan setting to an image reading apparatus including a main body having a plurality of postures. The main body reads a document according to the scan setting. The setting reception section is configured to display a setting item included in the scan setting on a display portion and receive a change in a setting content shown in the setting item. The posture acquisition section acquires posture information indicating the posture of the main body from the image reading apparatus. The setting reception section switches the setting item displayed on the display portion to the setting content according to the posture when the posture indicated by the posture information is switched.

An image forming apparatus is an image forming apparatus including an operation unit that includes a touch panel. The image forming apparatus further includes a display control unit configured to cause the touch panel to display an image and a detection unit configured to detect a touch operation performed by a user on the touch panel. In response to the detection unit detecting the touch operation on the touch panel that is displaying an object on the image, the display control unit performs control to hide the object from display.

A routine processing device includes a processor. In routine processing, an application parameter that defines an operation of an application and a system parameter that defines an operation of a system that is an environment where the application is executed are registered. The processor is configured to, if the system parameter at a time of the registration and a system parameter set in the system at a time when the routine processing is to be executed do not match, change the system parameter at the time of the registration in the routine processing to the system parameter set in the system at the time when the routine processing is to be executed.

An information processing device is provided with a terminal screen processing portion. When the terminal screen processing portion receives from a terminal a command to register and delete a functional item of each function that the information processing device executes, the terminal screen processing portion registers and deletes a selected functional item with respect to a shortcut tab of a list page and also guides a screen of the list page of a result of registration and deletion to a display portion of the terminal. Furthermore, the terminal screen processing portion, when receiving from a terminal a command to delete a functional item to be the last with respect to the list page, creates a screen in which the list page is not displayed, and guides the screen to the display portion of the terminal.

An information processing device includes a processor programmed to: receive an instruction from a user; and select, based on the received instruction, between: a first mode that receives a selection of a workflow to process target data before the target data is received; and a second mode that receives a selection of a workflow to process target data after the target data is received.

An image forming apparatus can prevent generation of correction data without setting a proper test original. A mat is closed for pressing an original on a platen. An opening/closing sensor detects a closed state and an open state of the mat. A density correction section corrects image data based on a correction condition. A printer forms an image based on the image data. A CPU controls the printer to form a pattern on a sheet, controls a CCD sensor to acquire read data concerning an image of the original according to user instruction for the CCD sensor to read the original, and generates the correction condition based on the read data. When the user instruction is given, if the open state of the mat is not changed to the closed state, the CPU displays a screen prompting the user to place the sheet on the platen.
