An example image forming includes a print engine to form an image, a display to display a user interface window for selecting at least one of an industry or a place using the image forming apparatus, and a processor to, based on at least one of the industry or the place being selected, set an option value corresponding to the at least one of the selected industry or place as a default option value for a function of the image forming apparatus.

Provided is an image processing apparatus which includes a display, is able to read card information from a card, and provides at least any of a function using a scanner and a function using a printer, the image processing apparatus including: an execution unit configured to execute, if card information associated with a user account is detected, a login process to the image processing apparatus based on the user account; and a control unit configured to call, if the same card information is detected during a login state according to the login process, a shortcut corresponding to the card information in the login state, wherein, if the shortcut is called, a screen for a function associated with the shortcut is displayed on the display in a state in which a setting value group corresponding to the shortcut is applied.

An example image forming includes a print engine to form an image, a display to display a user interface window for selecting at least one of an industry or a place using the image forming apparatus, and a processor to, based on at least one of the industry or the place being selected, set an option value corresponding to the at least one of the selected industry or place as a default option value for a function of the image forming apparatus.

Generating a user interface template is provided. A user context corresponding to an action request by a user to perform a task on a computer is determined. A set of user interface templates corresponding to the action request by the user and the user context is retrieved. Components of different user interface templates within the set of user interface templates are compared. Relevant components of the different user interface templates are combined based on the action request by the user and the user context. The user interface template corresponding to the action request by the user and the user context is generated based on the combined relevant components of the different user interface templates.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to perform displaying a display object associated with processing and including at least a first area and a second area, and detecting an operation of a user on the display object. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the first area of the display object, the processing associated with the display object is executed. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the second area of the display object, a setting screen for the processing associated with the display object is displayed.

A plurality of icons include a first icon set to a first setting by a hide instruction and a second icon set to a second setting by a hide instruction, and when an edit screen is displayed on an operation panel, the plurality of icons have different display modes between the first icon displayed on the edit screen and the second icon displayed on the edit screen.

User switching for multi-user devices is provided. Each of multiple users of the multi-user device can have multiple external accounts that are each associated with one or more applications installed at the device. The user switching is provided such that each application installed at the device can be operated using user-specific data for the correct account of the correct user. The user switching is provided such that an app developer of an application for the multi-user device does not have to manage multiple data stores for multiple users.

An image forming device connected to a terminal device, the image forming device includes a recognition information receiver that receives recognition information that is unique information of the terminal device from the terminal device, a storage that stores the recognition information received by the recognition information receiver, and a determiner that compares the recognition information received by the recognition information receiver with the recognition information stored in the storage to determine whether the received recognition information is stored in the storage, wherein, if when the determiner determines that the received recognition information is not stored in the storage, the image forming device performs guidance processing that notifies operation contents in the terminal device.

Personal settings for each user and each application are stored in personal setting holding units 311 and 310. When a personal setting is to be exported, synchronous control information indicating whether or not synchronization is to be performed for each personal setting is exported. In the case where the firmware version of an apparatus that is to import the information indicates synchronization of the personal setting, the personal setting is rewritten in accordance with the synchronous control information.

An information processing apparatus communicating with a management apparatus, in which an import instruction of setting information is received and, if the information processing apparatus is an apparatus which synchronizes the setting information with the management apparatus, predetermined setting information is set as a non-import-target among import target setting information.
