摘要:
A service providing system is provided including a service providing device adapted to provide a service through a network and a device adapted to receive the service from the service providing device. The device includes a service request unit that requests the service providing device for a service, and a service implementation unit that implements a function of the device after receiving the service from the service providing device that is requested. The service providing device includes a service provision executing unit that provides the service to the device when the service providing device receives the request from the service request unit, and a function judging unit that judges whether the device is equipped with a function to receive the service provided by the service provision executing unit based on equipped function information that indicates functions for which the device is equipped.

In response to a positional relationship (distance, or a combination of distance and angle) between an information output unit and a user who uses information displayed in the display unit, a control unit changes the amount of information to be displayed in the display unit based on an information level, the number of pieces of information, a scrolling speed or a cycle. In some aspects, the control unit controls the information output unit to increase the amount of information to be output when the user is close to the display unit.

An image processing device is configured to provide a service relating to at least one of (1) the image data generated by the function of the image processing device and (2) image data representing the image to be formed, in response to a request from the image processing device. The image processing device may include a parameter designating unit, a service request unit, and a function implementation unit that is adapted to implement the function of the image processing device based on the service providing parameter designated by the parameter designating unit. The service providing device is provided with a service provision executing unit that is adapted to execute a process to provide the service to the image processing device after receiving the request from the service request unit provided to the image processing device.

A network system includes a directory server configured to provide service definition information through a network, and a terminal device configured to receive the service definition information. The directory server may include a server communication unit, a service definition information storing unit configured to store main information and auxiliary information as part of service definition information, and a service definition information transmission control unit that retrieves the service definition information from the service definition information storing unit and transmit the same to the terminal device. The terminal device may include a terminal communication unit, an outputting unit, an input receiving unit and an output control unit. When received the service definition information from the directory server, the output control unit controls the outputting unit to output the main information, and when the input receiving unit receives a predetermined input instruction, the auxiliary information is output.

An image processing system including an image processing device, a service supply unit and an information supply unit is provided. In the system, the image processing device includes a service search data transmission unit, a service determination unit, and a service requesting unit. The information supply unit including a service search data reception unit which receives the service search data transmitted from the image processing device; a presumption unit which presumes a probability that the image processing device requests the service supply unit to execute each of the services executable by the service supply unit based on the service search data received by the service search data reception unit and according to prescribed presumption rules; and a list supply unit which supplies the image processing device with one of a list generated by extracting services likely to be requested by the image processing device from the service supply unit from all the services executable by the service supply unit and a list generated by sorting the services executable by the service supply unit according to the probability that the image processing device requests the service supply unit to execute each of the services based on presumption result by the presumption unit, as the information on services executable by the service supply unit.

A system for providing a service from a service-providing device to a client device is provided. The service-providing device includes a database, a registering unit, a providing unit, a service end judging unit, and a service terminating unit. The client device includes a usage registration unit, a setting information storing unit, a function executing unit, a detecting unit, and a re-registration unit. The re-registration unit reads out the setting information corresponding to the terminated service from the memory if the terminated service is detected by the detecting unit, and transmits the setting information along with the registration request signal to the service-providing device to make a usage registration for the terminated service. Devices, methods and computer-readable media having programs stored thereon are also provided for making a re-registration for a service which has been terminated by a service-providing device, without requiring a user to conduct an operation for re-registration.
