Image processing unit, information processing system, program, and information processing method

An image processing system comprising:

• a plurality of information processing apparatuses, each information processing apparatus of the plurality of information processing apparatuses includes a processor;
• a first memory unit configured to store a first setup value which is set for each of groups including at least one user and indicates an upper limit of a usage amount, within which the at least user included in each group can use a function;
• a second memory unit configured to store a second setup value which is set for each of the at least one user and indicates the usage amount enabling each user of the at least one user to use the function in addition to the first setup value;
• a third memory unit configured to store a current value which indicates the usage amount of the function used by each user;
• and
• a determination unit substantialized by at least one processor among the processors, the determination unit being configured to determine whether the current value exceeds a predetermined first threshold determined using the first setup value set for each of the groups and the second setup value set for each user of the at least one user.

A determination method performed by at least one information processing apparatus, the determination method comprising:

• acquiring a first memory unit a first setup value which is set for each of groups including at least one user and indicates an upper limit of a usage amount, within which the at least user included in each group can use a function from a first memory unit;
• acquiring a second memory unit a second setup value which is set for each of the at least one user and indicates the usage amount enabling each user of the at least one user to use the function in addition to the first setup value;
• acquiring a third memory unit a current value which indicates the usage amount of the function used by each user;
• and
• determining whether the current value of each user exceeds a predetermined first threshold determined using the first setup value set for a group, in which each user is included, among the groups and the second setup value set for each user of the at least one user.
