The invention provides a recording and reproducing device having a CM skip function, which prevents reductions of advertising effects and user-friendliness. In the case where the contents recorded on the recording and reproducing device include a commercial portion, a viewing history flag is assigned to the commercial portion. If the commercial has been reproduced, the viewing history flag relevant to the commercial is set at 1 to control viewing history of each individual commercial portion. In the case where there is a request for reproduction of the contents, it is determined whether or not the commercial yet to be viewed is more than a predetermined amount to secure convenience for the user by imposing no operational limit until reaching the predetermined amount. If the predetermined amount is reached, an operational limit is imposed so as to urge viewing of the commercial.

In a database, a database manager can generate a view, which, in concept, is a subset of the database, which is placed outside the database for use without disturbing the database, and without disturbance by others using the database. The subset, or view, can be understood as a collection of rows, or tuples, of data copied from the database. With views existing, multiple copies of data within the database now exist: the original in the database, and copies in the views. If one of these is changed, without corresponding changes made in the others, then inconsistencies occur, which cannot be tolerated. Under the invention, when a user seeks a lock on a view, indicating that a change may be imminent, the invention locks a superset of the tuples in the database from which the view is derived. A superset is a set which contains the set of tuples of the view, plus possibly others. Thus, more tuples are locked than strictly necessary. The excess locking is tolerated because other benefits are obtained.

It is determined whether an error detecting rate, when original information is extracted from a code image in a read image obtained by reading a sheet on which the code image is formed, is not smaller than a predetermined value. When it is not smaller than a predetermined value, a code image is reproduced from the extracted original information and the code image in the read image is replaced therewith. A barcode, which is a damaged code image, is reproduced.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image forming system, an image processing apparatus, a determination device, and image processing method that are capable of preventing users' convenience from reducing even when an image forming apparatus prints a coded image with a low print precision. A first MFP is connected through a LAN to a second MFP for performing error-correcting coding of original information, for creating a coded image by imaging the original information with the error-correcting code, and for forming the created coded image on a sheet. The first MFP extracts the original information from the coded image on the sheet obtained by reading the sheet on which the coded image is formed. Thereafter, the first MFP transmits to the second MFP an error detection rate at the time when the original information is extracted.

An image forming apparatus controls the use of a remote user interface (RUI) by requesting authentication with an RUI access password from a client device in a case where the RUI access password is set. In a case of a department ID management setting, the security setting is different from the RUI access password setting. In this situation, the image forming apparatus requests authentication with the department ID, and then controls the use of the RUI based on the result of the authentication.
