A data processing apparatus determines whether or not administrator authority of a user is set, and whether access is made locally or from the network. When the access is made locally, even if the user has the administrator authority, folders of all users are not displayed. The folders of all users are displayed only when the user having the administrator authority accesses from the network.

An image forming apparatus includes a state management unit that shifts an authentication state from a non-login state to a login state, a storage unit that stores setting information, and a data management unit that, in a case where a free space of the storage unit is less than a threshold value, deletes the setting information stored in the storage unit at a timing of shifting from the non-login state to the login state and secure a free space greater than or equal to the threshold value in the storage unit.

An image forming apparatus for executing an application for performing an image forming operation is provided. The apparatus includes an interface library. The interface library includes information about an image forming operation performable by the image forming apparatus, a user interface (UI) configured to provide a UI screen for receiving a request to perform the image forming operation, by referring to the interface library, at least one operation processor configured to call an application programming interface (API) corresponding to the image forming operation, based on the received request to perform the image forming operation, and an operation performer configured to perform the image forming operation requested to be performed, according to the call.

A conference management apparatus, a document registration method, a program and a conference system for easily registering a document for one or more agenda items registered for a conference are provided. A conference management apparatus for managing a conference held among a plurality of terminal apparatuses includes a generation unit configured to generate identification information of a document registration screen used for registering a document for one or more agenda items registered for a conference and send the identification information of the document registration screen to a terminal apparatus of a user registering a document for the agenda item, and a document registration unit configured to, based on a screen data obtaining request specifying the identification information of the document registration screen, send screen data of the document registration screen to the terminal apparatus which is a source of the screen data obtaining request, and register the document the user has registered for the agenda item in the document registration screen displayed on the terminal apparatus of the source of the screen data obtaining request, the document being associated with the agenda item.

When an MFP receives selection of any one of a plurality of folders managed in a hierarchy, the MFP displays, if the selected folder has subfolders, a list of the subfolders on a display unit, and displays, if the selected folder has no subfolders, a setting screen for setting a reading parameter for a document on the display unit.

Digital media can be automatically transferred between a digital capture device or storage device and one or more other devices with little or no user intervention. Media can be selected for automatic transfer based on one or more media-content or media-context characteristics.

The present invention provides a device that enables an output device to display data found and retrieved through a wireless portal from a source. More specifically, a digital picture frame that itself does not contain the internal architecture for wireless connectivity is connectable to a wireless enabling device that then enables the digital picture frame to connect to a wireless portal and retrieve data in a known specific wireless location or from a non-specifically known wireless location.

Digital media can be automatically transferred between a digital capture device or storage device and one or more other devices with little or no user intervention. Media can be selected for automatic transfer based on one or more media-content or media-context characteristics.

An information processing apparatus is provided for generating delivery data to be delivered to a delivery destination in response to an input of processing data. The information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire other data from a reference destination specified by specific information included in the processing data in a case where the specific information specifying the reference destination of the other data is extracted from the content of the processing data, and a generation unit configured to generate the delivery data in response to an input of the processing data, the delivery data being configured such that the other data acquired by the acquisition unit is viewable based on the delivery data.

An image forming apparatus includes a state management unit that shifts an authentication state from a non-login state to a login state, a storage unit that stores setting information, and a data management unit that, in a case where a free space of the storage unit is less than a threshold value, deletes the setting information stored in the storage unit at a timing of shifting from the non-login state to the login state and secure a free space greater than or equal to the threshold value in the storage unit.
