An image forming apparatus includes a wireless tag communication device to write data to, and read data from, a wireless tag attached to a sheet. An image forming device in the apparatus is configured to form an image on the sheet. A controller in the apparatus is configured to determine whether a writing of data to a wireless tag was successful based on a notification from the wireless tag communication device and generate investigation support information if the writing was not successful and control the image forming device to form an investigation support image corresponding to the investigation support information if the writing was not successful.

A security management apparatus includes a receiver, a printer, and a notifier. The receiver acquires, at an entrance of a facility, information about a visitor to a visiting destination of the facility. The information includes a stay permitted time at the visiting destination and at least one of an attribute, relation information, or a visiting purpose. The printer generates a portable medium that includes the information and the stay permitted time and records an image allowing distinguishing of content of the information. The notifier is configured to receive the stay permitted time from one or more readers disposed at the facility and is configured to read the stay permitted time from the portable medium in a noncontact manner. The notifier, in response to the stay permitted time being elapsed, warns the visitor who passes a disposition position of the one or more readers.

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.

An image processing apparatus for inspection of a sheet on which a code image obtained by encoding predetermined information is printed includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires positional information indicating a position and a size of the code image in the sheet; a second acquisition unit which acquires a plurality of read images obtained by a plurality of reading units reading different portions of the sheet, respectively, wherein the read images become an image indicating the entire sheet by being combined; a determination unit which determines whether any one of the read images includes the entire code image based on the positional information; and an extraction unit which extracts the predetermined information by, in a case where there is a read image including the entire code image, reading the code image in that read image.

An inspection apparatus performs dropout color processing on a first inspection area set for an image generated by reading a print product and then performs first recognition processing on the first inspection area, and further performs second recognition processing on a second inspection area set for the image and then performs an inspection of whether sufficient margin areas are allocated on the second inspection area, without performing dropout color processing.

A method for transmitting content and an apparatus therefor are provided. The apparatus includes a transceiver configured to transmit content to an external source, a display configured to display receiver information about the content, and a user interface (UI) element, a memory configured to store identification information of the electronic apparatus, and at least one processor configured to generate a code comprising the identification information, based on a user input of selecting the UI element, receive the receiver information from an external device, and control the display to display the receiver information on the display. The electronic apparatus can use address information stored in the external device, without a separate communication setting with the external device that provides the receiver information.

An information processing system that that confirms the meanings of difference information in meeting content with reference to the sound information is provided. Differences between meeting content contained in image information of a paper medium taken at each detection cycle and meeting content contained in master information are extracted. Surrounding sounds are recorded while the meeting is being held. The sound information of the recorded sounds is associated with the difference information of the extracted differences and also associated with the master information with the timing when the differences of the meeting content are detected.

An image processing device includes a display unit and is capable of displaying web content provided via a web browser. The image processing device includes a first display controller displays web content acquired from a content server by using access information for acquiring the web content from the content server based on an instruction to display the web content, a QR generation unit generates a code image including the access information for acquiring the web content from the content server; and a second display controller displays the code image on the display unit. The QR generation unit generates a code image and the second display controller displays the code image on the display unit in a case where the first display controller is not able to display the web content.

An image forming device includes: a scanner section; a print section; an operation panel; a communication section configured to communicate with a cloud server; and a controller, wherein the controller transmits document data scanned by using the scanner section to the cloud server and causes the cloud server to store the document data in storage in accordance with an operation performed on the operation panel, and when the document data is specified in accordance with data identifying the document data kept in the storage of the cloud server in accordance with an operation performed on the operation panel, the controller displays a two-dimensional code enabling access to the document data stored in the storage of the cloud server.

A mediation server may receive image data from a scanner via a network, the image data being generated by the scanner scanning each of M pieces of manuscripts sequentially, analyze the image data so as to specify separation image data which is a part of the image data, the separation image data representing a predetermined separation manuscript, and send first target data to a first destination and second target data to a second destination via the network, the first target data being obtained by using first partial image data representing at least one piece of manuscript among one or more pieces of manuscripts to be scanned after the separation manuscript, the second target data being obtained by using second partial image data representing at least one piece of manuscript among one or more pieces of manuscripts to be scanned before the separation manuscript.
