An energy saving setting unit controls an image forming apparatus that makes a transition to a power saving state if a transition time passes without any prescribed operation in a normal state, and it includes: a unit for storing specific day information distinguishing a normal operation day and a specific day; an auto pattern updating unit determining the transition time in a normal operation day based on past operational status of the normal operation day of the image forming apparatus; a specific day pattern registering unit receiving and storing setting of the transition time of the specific day; and a switching unit, switching the state of conduction of the image forming apparatus using the transition time determined by the auto pattern updating unit and the stored transition time, on the normal operation day and on the specific day, respectively, based on the specific day information.

Job information being information concerning a processed job is managed together with an attribute that indicates whether the job information is printed or unprinted. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, job information having an attribute indicating unprinted state is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is updated so as to indicate printed state. Out of the managed pieces of job information of jobs, when an instruction to print job information of a job corresponding to a logged-in user is received, the job information corresponding to the user is printed and the attribute of the printed job information is not updated.

A camera generates a random number, displays a Quick Response (QR) code representing the generated random number, and transmits the generated random number to a web server. A smart phone captures an image of the QR code displayed on the camera, acquires the random number based on the captured QR code, and transmits the acquired random number to the web server. The web server registers the camera based on a match between the random number transmitted from the camera and the random number transmitted from the smart phone.

An information managing apparatus includes a receiver that receives user identification information for identifying a user who logs in an output apparatus and circuitry that acquires location information indicating a location of the user who logged in the output apparatus based on the received user identification information, determines, if a second user who is allowed to output the job data stored in accordance with the request from the first user logs in the output apparatus and the location information of the second user is acquired, whether or not the location of the first user corresponds to a location of the second user, and provides, if the circuitry determines that the location of the first user corresponds to the location of the second user, specifying information for acquiring the job data stored in accordance with the request from the first user to the output apparatus that the second user logs in.

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.

The present technology relates to a file processing device, a file processing method, and a program that achieve quick index display.

A file control unit generates a proxy file storing a related image related to an image in a high efficiency image file format (HEIF) file, the proxy file being another HEIF file. Furthermore, the file control unit detects an image corresponding to a selected related image selected from related images stored in the proxy file. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a case where index display of thumbnail images is performed.

An image management apparatus includes a memory, circuitry and a transmitter. The circuitry is configured to: generate a thumbnail image from each of captured images; store, in the memory, for each of the thumbnail images, thumbnail identification information for identifying the thumbnail image in association with related information relating to the captured image, the related information indicating one or more attributes of the captured image; transmit one or more thumbnail images of the thumbnail images stored in the memory to a communication terminal; and receive, from the communication terminal, a change request that requests to change a display of the screen to include a specific one or more thumbnail images each being associated with a specific attribute of the related information. The transmitter transmits the specific thumbnail images each identified by specific thumbnail identification information associated with the specific attribute of the related information.

An information processing system includes an information processing terminal and a device. The device includes a first display unit configured to display a screen and a transmitting unit configured to transmit identification information relating to the screen being displayed by the first display unit to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes a receiving unit configured to receive the identification information from the device, an acquiring unit configured to acquire data corresponding to the received identification information, and a second display unit configured to display the acquired data.

Described embodiments provide a method and user equipment for selectively transferring image data from user equipment to a coupled external device. The method may include determining whether user equipment is coupled to an external device, receiving selection inputs from a user for selecting at least one of applications installed in the user equipment when the user equipment is determined as being coupled to the external device, and selectively transferring image data produced in the user equipment based on the selected application. The method may further include controlling the coupled external device to display the transferred image data on a display unit of the coupled external device.

The present technology relates to an image management method and a data structure of metadata that allow for management of an image captured by an artificial satellite. A management device that manages a captured image captured by a satellite adds metadata that includes at least information regarding a person related to the captured image to the captured image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, artificial satellites that perform satellite remote sensing by a formation flight.
