The disclosure describes systems for creating and authenticating printed objects using authentication and copy detection watermarks. For example, one verification system includes a watermark decoder and a verification module. The watermark decoder detects a copy detection watermark in a printed object to determine whether the printed object has been reproduced. The verification module processes a message decoded from an authentication watermark on the printed object to authenticate the printed object or bearer of the printed object. The authentication and copy detection watermarks may be implemented as the same or different watermarks. For example, the copy detection watermark may be a fragile watermark that carries the message and that degrades in response to a reproduction operation, such as photocopying or scanning and then reprinting the object. Alternatively, the authentication and copy detection watermarks may be separate watermarks embedded in an image that is printed on the object. The authentication watermark, in some applications, includes an identifier that links the object to a database entry with related information about the object. This related information can be used to check the bearer of the object by comparing it with attributes of the bearer (such as a user ID or photo) or the validity of the object by comparing it with attributes that are visible or machine readable on the object.

A health care worker is able to manually input data by zooming a graphical representation of vital data, moving a cursor at a predetermined position using a mouse or the like, and clicking the mouse. If it is confirmed that the value can be correct, then a setting button is clicked. Alternatively, it may be canceled. For the cancellation, a click button is clicked. By the way, it can be also observed as an output on a monitor (Steps from S11 to S16). In this case, the fact of being confirmed is displayed over the screen on which the monitor output of the vital data is displayed.

An information processing system has: information processing apparatus installed at each site, the apparatuses being interconnected with each other; fail-over processor realized by program executed by a processing apparatus, wherein when failure occurs, the fail-over processor performs to fail-over of making another different from the processing apparatus hit by the failure inherit processes executed by the processing apparatus hit by the failure; a recovery capability judge for judging whether essential data is managed in recoverable state at any processing apparatus excepting the processing apparatus hit by the failure, when the fail-over is executed passing from the processing apparatus hit by the failure to the other, the essential data necessary for performing fail-over; and backup data generator for generating backup data necessary for recovering the essential data if the data is not managed in recoverable state.

In standby mode, memory contents are saved to a hard disk. After AC power has been removed by disconnecting the AC plug, when the AC power is restored the data saved on the hard disk is automatically restored into memory to set the power-saving mode back to the standby mode. When the power is turned on next, quick resumption from standby mode can be accomplished.
