Systems, methods, and computer readable media for performing task assignment, completion, and management within a crowdsourced surveillance platform. A remote server may identify targets for image capture and may assign capture tasks to users based on travel plans of the user. Users may be assigned task to capture image of target locations lying along a travel path. The remote server may aggregate data related to the captured images and use it to update a map and log changes to the target location over time.

An information processing system that is configured such that a plurality of speakers are coordinated with one information processing apparatus and is capable of coping with a state of competition between instructions to the speakers. An information processing system includes an image forming apparatus, a first voice control device that receives a voice instruction to the image forming apparatus, and a second voice control device that receives a voice instruction to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus is controlled to execute a job based on information on which of the first voice control device and the second voice control device is a device which is to be preferentially used.

An information processing system that improves the usability of the overall information processing system. The processing system, which includes an image processing apparatus and is capable of communicating with an audio control apparatus, outputs response information, as a response to the command generated based on a user's audio received through the audio control apparatus, wherein. Specifically, the processing system (a) in accordance with that a predetermined command generated based on first audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a first attribute information is obtained, outputs a first type of response information as a response to the predetermined command, and (b) in accordance with a predetermined command generated based on second audio information received from an audio control apparatus associated with a second attribute information is obtained, outputs a second type of response information as the response to the predetermined command.

In a method for simulating a printing process of print jobs in a digital high-capacity printing system with print server and printing apparatus having a plurality of modules: a simulation state of the printing apparatus is activated by (e.g. a user of) a monitoring module of the digital high-capacity printing system, a print job is started with print data at the print server by the monitoring module, the print data is transferred to the printing apparatus, printing is simulated by supplying unrastered print data to an image raster computer of the printing apparatus while data is withdrawn from the image raster computer, and feedback is provided to the monitoring module of the digital high-capacity printing system about the occurrence of an error message. The speed of the removal may correspond to the print speed.

Predetermined information for determining whether an input screen on which a user inputs an evaluation of a program is to be displayed is received from a server. If the received predetermined information indicates that the input screen is to be displayed, the input screen is displayed on a display included in an information processing apparatus.

An image processing apparatus that performs a color matching process according to a color reproduction characteristic of an objective device, the image processing apparatus including: a printing unit configured to perform printing; a reading unit configured to be capable of reading a first color characteristic chart, which is printed by the objective device, and a second color characteristic chart, which is printed by the printing unit; and a processing unit configured to perform the color matching process, based on first scanned image data, which is obtained by reading the first color characteristic chart by use of the reading unit, and second scanned image data, which is obtained by reading the second color characteristic chart by use of the reading unit.

An image forming system includes at least one piece of image forming apparatus and a server. The at least one piece of image forming apparatus transmits a sleep notification when entering a sleep mode which is a power saving state, and transmits a wake-up notification when returning from the sleep mode to a non-power saving state. The server monitors the sleep notification and the wake-up notification. When a specific image forming apparatus of the at least one piece of image forming apparatus has been in the sleep mode for at least a certain period of time, the sever issues a power-off command to the specific image forming apparatus, so that the specific image forming apparatus shuts off automatically. Before issuing the power-off command, the server delivers a power-off notice to the user who has used the specific image forming apparatus.

An information processing system includes a first external apparatus, a second external apparatus, an information processing apparatus, and an image forming apparatus. The information processing system further includes an issuance unit configured to issue, in the first external apparatus, an access token for accessing a cloud service, a first registration unit configured to receive the access token and register the access token in the second external apparatus in association with an identifier, a display unit configured to display a reauthorization instruction object on a browser of the information processing apparatus, and a second registration unit configured to, in a case where the reauthorization instruction object is pressed and the access token is issued again, register the reissued access token in the second external apparatus in association with the identifier.

There is a technique that displays a QR code in which a URL of an error information site is embedded on a display in a case where an error occurs in a printer or the like and allows an access to the error information site by a mobile terminal capturing the QR code. However, on a condition that the size of the display is small, there is a case where it is not possible to display the QR code in which the URL of the error information site is embedded. In an electronic device mounting a display, an access code indicating first resource specification information for redirect is created and the created access code is displayed on the display. Then, the first resource specification information has a data amount corresponding to an access code of a size than can be displayed on the display.

An image processing apparatus transmits a request to a content server at a specific timing such as login, logout, auto-clear, print start. The image processing apparatus receives contents provided from the content server in response to the request, and displays the contents in an operation unit. If a user operating the image processing apparatus is specified by user authentication, the image processing apparatus adds information of the user to the request, and receives the content modified by the content server according to the information of the user from the content server and displays the modified contents.
