A system and a method for verifying authenticity of a physical copy and a digital copy of a document are disclosed. The method comprises registering a document in a repository by storing details related to the document in a location of the repository. A symbology for the document is generated. The symbology is an identifier of the location of the repository comprising the document. The symbology is associated with either a physical or a digital copy of the document. The digital copy of the document is printed to generate a printed copy. The printed copy or the physical copy of the document is scanned to generate a scanned image. The document and the details related to the document present at the location of the repository are accessed. The scanned image is compared with the document stored in the repository to determine the authenticity of either the physical copy or the digital copy of the document.

An image processing device includes a controller, a device information generator that generates device information including identification information of the image processing device, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller displays the generated device information on the terminal device and, based on the setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device that read the displayed device information, controls the job executor to output the job at the predetermined setting.

A remote operation apparatus including a setting unit configured to set whether or not to restrict connection between an image forming apparatus and another remote operation apparatus other than a remote operation apparatus, and a control unit configured to give an instruction to restrict the connection between the image forming apparatus and the another remote operation apparatus before causing the image forming apparatus to form an image in a case where restriction of the connection between the image forming apparatus and the another remote operation apparatus is set by the setting unit.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with a server via a network, the image processing apparatuses being configured to use one or more application functions, the image processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store an audit log and the one or more application functions in association with each other, a designation unit configured to designate the one or more application functions as an application function for which acquisition of a log by the server is allowed, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the audit log associated with the one or more application functions designated by the designation unit to the server.

The disclosure discloses methods and systems for securing documents submitted for scanning at a device such as a multi-function device. The method includes scanning a document received from a user. A user interface is provided to the user to define a document type and to further define an access level for accessing the scanned document. Then, scanned data is generated. The scanned data is encoded based on a unique identity of the device and based on the access level such that the scanned data is accessible by the user and/or by one or more other users according to the defined access level. Finally, the scanned document is generated. Later when the scanned document is accessed by any user, details of the user accessing the scanned document is matched with details added in the encoded scanned data. Based on matching, the user is allowed to access the scanned document.

A processing system includes an acquisition portion that acquires information based on a captured image of a user, and a processor that performs a login process and a logout process on an electronic device. When it is determined that a gesture of a user for instructing to log out from the electronic device is performed based on the captured image of the user, the processor performs the logout process.

An image processing device includes a controller, a device information generator that generates device information including identification information of the image processing device, and a job executor that executes a job at a predetermined setting based on setting information for job execution sent from a terminal device, wherein the controller displays the generated device information on the terminal device and, based on the setting information for job execution sent from the terminal device that read the displayed device information, controls the job executor to output the job at the predetermined setting.

An information processing apparatus capable of preventing damage and loss of an audit log when an attack due to an unauthorized access is detected is provided. The information processing apparatus having one or multiple functions includes a controller configured or programmed to function as a recording unit that records an audit log for each type corresponding to the one or multiple functions, a judging unit that, when an access request to the audit log is received, judges whether or not the access request is an unauthorized access, and a control unit that, in a case that a judgement result of the judging unit indicates that the access request is the unauthorized access, performs a stopping control to stop a function related to the type of the audit log that has received the access request, among the one or multiple functions.

An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes: a detector which detects an occurrence of an event; a display which displays notification information regarding the occurred event; and a controller which restricts operation authority over the notification information displayed on the display to a specific user when the notification information corresponds to a notification for the specific user, and makes the operation authority over the notification information di splayed on the display unrestricted when the notification information does not correspond to a notification for the specific user.

An image processing apparatus that communicates with a server via a network, the image processing apparatuses being configured to use one or more application functions, the image processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store an audit log and the one or more application functions in association with each other, a designation unit configured to designate the one or more application functions as an application function for which acquisition of a log by the server is allowed, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the audit log associated with the one or more application functions designated by the designation unit to the server.
