In an image processing apparatus, a controller determines using setting specification information whether all of a plurality of users is permitted to use all of a plurality of setting values for a setting category in response to receiving a registration instruction. The setting specification information specifies for each user at least one setting value that is permitted to use for an image process by the user. In response to determining that any of the plurality of users is not permitted to use all of the setting values for the setting category, the controller transmits to the server a registration request not including the plurality of setting values for the setting category. The controller controls, in response to receiving a function execution instruction from the server, an image processing unit to execute the image process in accordance with a setting including a setting value for the setting category.

A printing apparatus includes a login control unit, including a user table for registering users permitted to log into the printing apparatus, configured to display a login screen including a list of the users registered in the user table, and to permit, a user to log into the printing apparatus when selection of the user is received through the login screen, a printing control unit configured to execute processing for printing print data transmitted from an external apparatus and stored in a storage unit, based on a print start operation performed by the user permitted to log into the printing apparatus, and a management unit configured to manage owner information indicating an owner of the print data stored in the storage unit. The login control unit is configured to acquire the owner information from the management unit, and display the login screen based on the acquired owner information.

Provided is an image forming apparatus to control capturing of an execution screen displayed. A memory stores at least one application. A user interface device displays an execution screen of an application, to which a user is logged in with an identification (ID) of the user, and receives an input of capturing the execution screen. A processor determines an authority of the ID of the user to capture the execution screen by comparing a security level of the execution screen set based on the data displayed on the execution screen and a security level of the user set with respect to the ID of the user. The processor, in response to the input, controls the capturing of the execution screen, based on the determined authority of the ID of the first user.

A control device includes a processor. The processor obtains multiple setting registrations and permission level information associated with each of the multiple setting registrations, in response to an output instruction for outputting the multiple setting registrations to the outside. In the multiple setting registrations, process settings for functions of a device are registered in advance. The processor generates a list including at least one setting registration associated with permission level information indicating use permission for a user who transmits the output instruction. The at least one setting registration is among the multiple setting registrations.

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.

A first soft key for use of a function that differs from a function available by selecting a second soft key displayed in a second display area of an information processing apparatus or a first soft key for use of a function that is the same as a function available by selecting a second soft key displayed in the second display area is displayed in a first display area displayed together with the second display area in accordance with a display condition.

An information providing device having a controller and a communicating part. The controller is configured to generate displaying data and transmit the same to the information displaying device. The displaying data is generated such that a displaying form of the displaying information displayed by the information displaying device is switchable between a first and a second displaying forms, a default displaying form of the displaying information being set to one of the first from and the second form in accordance with setting information arbitrarily set by a user. The first displaying form is configured such that a content area is displayed, and a menu area is not displayed. The menu area includes a plurality of items, the content area includes contents corresponding to at least one of the plurality of items. The second displaying form is configured such that both the menu area and the content area are displayed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to perform displaying a display object associated with processing and including at least a first area and a second area, and detecting an operation of a user on the display object. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the first area of the display object, the processing associated with the display object is executed. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the second area of the display object, a setting screen for the processing associated with the display object is displayed.

Provided is an appliance setting apparatus. If generating layout information indicating a layout of a screen of a client application program for providing, by an image forming apparatus, a function of a document processing flow execution system, when a flow execution button for executing a document processing flow is arranged in the layout, the appliance setting apparatus acquires a list of document processing flows from the document processing flow execution system, displays at least a part of the document processing flows included in the acquired list onto the display unit, associates the document processing flow selected via an operating unit from among the displayed workflows, with the flow execution button, and installs the generated layout information on the image forming apparatus.

An image processing apparatus includes at least one of an image forming device configured to form an image on a sheet or an image reader configured to read an image on the sheet, and a storage configured to store information. The apparatus also includes a display configured to display a screen, and a controller. The controller is configured to install an application program relating to the image forming device or the image reader, determine whether to display an execution instruction image for inputting an execution instruction of the installed application program on an individual home screen which is a home screen for individual use by each user, and display the individual home screen containing the execution instruction image determined to be displayed on the display.
