## Abstract

An information processing system includes a registration unit and a controller. The registration unit registers prohibited information associated with at least one of pieces of attribute information on a per piece-of-attribute information basis. The controller refers to the pieces of attribute information and the prohibited information. The controller performs error handling if received image information includes the prohibited information associated with a piece of attribute information assigned to the image information.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing system comprising:
a processor, configured to:
register prohibited information associated with at least one of pieces of attribute information to be assigned to image information on a per piece-of-attribute information basis;
refer to the pieces of attribute information and the prohibited information; and
perform error handling if received image information includes the prohibited information associated with a piece of attribute information assigned to the received image information,
wherein if the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information is included in at least one page of a plurality of pages of the received image information,
the processor transmits the received image information outward in the error handling, excluding information representing the page including the prohibited information from the received image information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1,
wherein the processor explicitly expresses the page including the prohibited information as an error page.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing system according to claim 2,
wherein the processor places the error page in the received image information in a location corresponding to the page including the prohibited information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information processing system according to claim 3,
wherein the processor executes a character recognition process on the received image information, and if a character recognized in the character recognition process includes a character designed as the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information, the processor performs the error handling.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The information processing system according to claim 2,
wherein there are a plurality of external servers that are to receive image information, and necessity for performing the error handling is set in advance and is associated with at least one of the external servers on a per external-server basis, and
wherein the processor decides the necessity for performing the error handling depending on one of the external servers that is designated by a user.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The information processing system according to claim 2,
wherein the processor executes a character recognition process on the received image information, and if a character recognized in the character recognition process includes a character designed as the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information, the processor performs the error handling.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1,
wherein the pieces of the attribute information are grouped into at least one group of groups, and the prohibited information is associated with at least one of the groups on a per group basis.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The information processing system according to claim 7,
wherein the processor decides necessity for performing the error handling depending on the prohibited information associated with the at least one of the grouped pieces of attribute information.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1,
wherein there are a plurality of external servers that are to receive image information, and necessity for performing the error handling is set in advance and is associated with at least one of the external servers on a per external-server basis, and
wherein the processor decides the necessity for performing the error handling depending on one of the external servers that is designated by a user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The information processing system according to claim 9,
wherein if the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information is included in the image information, and if there is an external server for which the error handling does not need to be performed among the external servers, the processor reports, to the user, the external server for which the error handling does not need to be performed.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The information processing system according to claim 10,
wherein the external servers are cloud servers.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The information processing system according to claim 9,
wherein the external servers are cloud servers.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The information processing system according to claim 1,
wherein the processor executes a character recognition process on the received image information, and if a character recognized in the character recognition process includes a character designed as the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information, the processor performs the error handling.

### Claim 14

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing system control, the process comprising:
referring to prohibited information associated with attribute information to be assigned to image information registered in a registration unit on a per attribute-information basis; and
causing a controller to perform error handling if received image information includes the prohibited information associated with a piece of the attribute information;
wherein if the prohibited information associated with the piece of attribute information is included in at least one page of a plurality of pages of the received image information,
causing the controller to transmit the received image information outward in the error handling, excluding information representing the page including the prohibited information from the received image information.
