An information processing apparatus acquires a plurality of lists including one or more rows from table data including a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, based on a value of one column in the plurality of columns and extracts, based on a list including a predetermined search key among the acquired plurality of lists, a value corresponding to the search key. Thus, for example, even in a case where there is no character string on the right side of the search key, value information corresponding to the search key is extractable.

A numerical key unit 70 mounted in a mounting portion 12 of an image forming apparatus 1 and card reader of inputting information to the image forming apparatus 1 includes a casing 71 mounted on the mounting portion 12, an operating key 100 comprised of a hardware key capable of inputting information on a numerical value, a substrate 73 provided inside the casing 71, a main assembly-side cable 76 connected to a connector 85 mounted on the substrate 73 and electrically connecting the image forming apparatus 1 and the numerical key unit 70, and a first opening 71a through which the main assembly-side cable 76 is inserted. The first opening 71a is provided on a bottom of the casing 71 so that in a thickness direction of the substrate 73, the main assembly-side cable 76 is exposed to an outside of the casing 71 from a surface on a side opposite from a surface where the operating key 100 is provided.

An MFD is disclosed. For example, the MFD includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions. The instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations that include receiving an email, determining that a user wants to establish a connection based on the email, generating a reply email to the user, wherein the reply email includes an executable file that automatically configures an endpoint device of the user to establish the connection, transmitting the reply email to the user, and establishing the connection to the endpoint device of the user in response to execution of the executable file by the endpoint device of the user.

An anti-counterfeiting serialization method. The method can include receiving an input serial number, locating a seed character at a predetermined position in the input serial number, determining, based on the seed character, a first output position for an incrementing character of the input serial number, determining, based on the incrementing character, at least one second output position for at least one remaining character of the input serial number, and generating an output serial number having the incrementing character in the first output position and at least one remaining character in the at least one second output position.

Techniques are provided for converting live presentations into electronic media and managing captured media assets for distribution. An exemplary system includes capture devices that capture media assets of live presentations comprising a session, including image data of sequentially presented visual aids accompanying the live presentations and audio data. Each capture device has an interface for real-time image data marking of the image data for identification of individual images and session marking of the image data for demarcation of individual presentations of the session. A centralized device processes the captured media assets and automatically divides the captured media assets into discrete files associated with the individual presentations based on the session markings. An administrative tool manages the processed media assets to produce modified presentations and enables modification of the visual aid images identified by the image data markings. A production device formats the modified presentations for distribution on distribution media.

An image forming system of an embodiment includes a terminal device that transmits first print data to print an image in monochrome, second print data to print the image in color and a user ID; a print data storage section that stores the first print data, the second print data and the user ID transmitted from the terminal device in an associated manner; an authentication section that authenticates a user; a list acquisition section that acquires a list including the first and second print data associated with the user ID of the user authenticated by the authentication section; a print data acquisition section that acquires one print data selected from the acquired list by the list acquisition section; and an image forming section that prints an image formed with the print data acquired by the print data acquisition section.

An information processing device includes: a scanner that performs scanning of a read image of a document and detects a code image included in a scanned region, which is a region where the scanning is completed; and a setting unit that sets, based on the code image detected by the scanner, a scanning region when the scanner scans an unscanned region, in which the scanning by the scanner has not been performed yet.

An image processing apparatus includes an acquisition part that acquires biological information on a user who makes the image processing apparatus execute a job, the biological information changing while reflecting a state of the user, and a registration control part that controls an operation for registering information on the job and the biological information on the user in association with each other.

A system includes an image forming apparatus, a first document server apparatus, and a key server apparatus, the image forming apparatus being configured to determine whether document data is private or public, when the document data is determined to be private, then determine a level accessible to the document data, and transmit level information indicating the level and the document data to the first document server apparatus, the first document server apparatus being configured to receive the level information and the document data from the image forming apparatus, generate a document ID for identifying the document data, store the document data in association with the document ID, transmit the document ID to the image forming apparatus, determine an accessible user ID that identifies a user accessible to the document data based on the level information, generate a public key and a private key used to encrypt the document data.
