An image forming apparatus that forms an image on paper in accordance with a printing job includes: a communication unit that receives meeting information concerning a meeting; a storage unit that stores the meeting information received by the communication unit; an editing control unit that edits the meeting information stored in the storage unit in accordance with an execution time of the printing job; an operation display unit that freely outputs images or voices captured in the meeting based on the meeting information edited by the editing control unit; and an output control unit that controls output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output from the operation display unit, wherein the output control unit finishes output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output from the operation display unit before completion of the printing job.

A storage unit stores, for each state of an information processing apparatus, pieces of correspondence information indicating either a correspondence relation between pieces of content identification information and time information indicating latest times when the contents are displayed, or a correspondence relation between the pieces of content identification information and frequency information representing display frequencies of the contents. A selection unit selects the correspondence information corresponding to a current state of the information processing apparatus. A determining unit determines, as display content information identifying the content to be displayed, content identification information out of the pieces of content identification information included in the selected correspondence information, based on the time information or the frequency information corresponding to the pieces of content identification information included in selected the correspondence information. A display control unit performs control to display the content identified by the determined display content information.

In several embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for processing digital images captured by a mobile device are disclosed. The techniques include capturing image data depicting a document; defining a plurality of candidate edge points within the image data; and defining four sides of a tetragon based on at least some of the plurality of candidate edge points; wherein each side of the tetragon corresponds to a different side of the document; wherein an area of the tetragon comprises at least a threshold percentage of a total area of the digital image; and wherein the tetragon bounds the digital representation of the document.

A shared terminal includes: circuitry to cause a display to display an image to a plurality of users, the plurality of users simultaneously sharing use of the shared terminal; and a network interface to communicate with a destination management server through a network, the destination management server being different from the shared terminal and storing, in a memory, for each of the plurality of users, user identification information of the user in association with an email address of the user. The circuitry: obtains, from a first terminal of a first user of the plurality of users, first terminal identification information identifying the first terminal; transmits first user identification information of the user of the first terminal to the destination management server; receives, from the destination management server, a first email address of the first user, the first email address being obtained from the memory of the destination management server using the first user identification information; and transmits an email addressed to the received first email address to allow the first user to obtain data relating to the image displayed to the plurality of users.

An image forming apparatus includes a hardware resource, and a hardware processor that controls the hardware resource, wherein the hardware processor activates the hardware resource in a first activation mode in response to entry of a user into a first range, and activates the hardware resource in a second activation mode that causes production of sound at a volume level higher than a volume level of sound produced in the first activation mode in response to entry of the user into a second range that is smaller than the first range.

In several embodiments, methods, systems, and computer program products for processing digital images captured by a mobile device are disclosed. The techniques include detecting medical documents and/or documents relevant to an insurance claim by defining candidate edge points based on the captured image data and defining four sides of a tetragon based on at least some of the candidate edge points. In the case of an insurance claim process, the techniques also include determining whether the document is relevant to an insurance claim; and in response to determining the document is relevant to the insurance claim, submitting the image data, information extracted from the image data, or both to a remote server for claims processing. The image capture and processing techniques further facilitate processing of medical documents and/or insurance claims with a plurality of additional features that may be used individually or in combination in various embodiments.

A portable security device may enable a security guard to quietly and unobtrusively solicit assistance, or transmit information, when desired. A portable security device may include a user interface, a LiFi source and a controller that is operatively coupled to the user interface and to the LiFi source. In some cases, the controller may be configured to present two or more alert options to the security guard via the user interface and to receive a selection of one of the alert options by the security guard. In response to the selection of an alert option by the security guard, the controller may be configured to transmit a LiFi message that corresponds to the selected alert option via the LiFi source.
