An example billing management method with respect to a solution installed in an image forming apparatus includes detecting a solution newly installed in or removed from the image forming apparatus, based on a solution list indicating solutions installed in the image forming apparatus, verifying whether the detected solution is included in a solution subscription list corresponding to an account in which the image forming apparatus is registered, and processing billing with respect to the detected solution according to a verification result.

An information processing apparatus includes a control circuit configured to operate as a setting tool that performs setting of an application installed in a client device by executing a setting tool program. The setting tool includes an application setter and a server synchronizer. The application setter is configured to perform setting of an application in a client device. The server synchronizer is configured to synchronously register the client device on which setting has been performed by the application setter in a server apparatus that manages a client device which is provided with a function of the application with the setting performed on the client device by the application setter as a trigger.

To make it possible to perform registration by making the same the unit format of a value in a case where the value corresponding to a predetermined keyword within a business form is extracted and registered in a management server or the like. In a case where a value corresponding to a predetermined keyword in accordance with its type is extracted from a business form image, a character string indicating a unit thereof is acquired and after converting the unit into a unit format determined in a registration destination, extraction results are output.

A management apparatus that manages a plurality of image forming apparatuses, the management apparatus includes: a storage that stores histories of user operations on the image forming apparatuses for the plurality of image forming apparatuses, respectively; and a hardware processor that determines an image forming apparatus recommended to be operated from among the plurality of image forming apparatuses based on the histories of the user operations of the image forming apparatuses and outputs a notification indicating the determined recommended image forming apparatus.

In an image processing system, an interactive message is transmitted and received between an information processing apparatus and a chatbot server, job setting information is generated, image data and the job setting information are stored in a storage on a network in association with job identification information, a QR code generated from the job identification information is displayed on a screen of the information processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus is caused to read the QR code and to convert the QR code to job identification information, and the image data and the job setting information associated with the job identification information are transmitted from the storage to the image forming apparatus via the management server.

A server presents a first setting screen for entering settings relating to target image data for transmission, transmits the target image data to a cloud service in accordance with the settings, stores the settings associated with a type of the target image data and information of a user, and presents a second setting screen for selecting whether or not to use settings identical to any stored settings for new target image data. When presenting the first setting screen, the server presents it in a state in which, from the stored settings which the user selected to use settings identical to, a type of image data is omitted and settings required for transmission have been reflected. The server stores a type of the new target image data added to and associated with the selected stored settings.

A function executing device may receive a first function executing request from a first external device and receive a second function executing request from a second external device. The function executing device may display, in a case where the first function executing request is received, a first approval screen on the display. The function executing device may display, in a case where the second function executing request is received, a second approval screen on the display. In a case where the second function executing request is received under a state where the first approval screen is displayed on the display, the second approval screen may not be displayed on the display instead of the first approval screen.

Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

A client device assists in identifying user consumption of information. The client device comprises a hardware processor; a screen; memory storing computer instructions that when executed perform capturing a series of screen image snapshots being presented on the screen; reducing resolution of each screen image snapshot in the series of screen image snapshots; capturing metadata associated with each screen image snapshot in the series of screen image snapshots, the metadata at least including a timestamp; identifying a duplicate in the series of screen image snapshots; discarding the duplicate from the series of screen image snapshots; and uploading the series of captured screen image snapshots to a processing server for processing.

An image processing apparatus includes a generation unit configured to read an image of a document and to generate an image file based on the read image, a transmission unit configured to transmit the image file generated by the generation unit, a determination unit configured to determine a file name of the image file, and a reception unit configured to receive patient information from an information processing apparatus. The determination unit determines the file name of the image file based on patient information selected by a user from the patient information received by the reception unit.
