Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a processor, a communication unit, an input unit, a display unit, and a storage unit storing a program. The program causes the information processing apparatus to display i) a status of an external apparatus received via the communication unit in a status window of a status monitor displayed on the display unit, ii) a tab indicating a category of the status in a side portion of the status window, iii) a first icon in the tab indicating a change in the status, and iv) a second icon that, when selected, causes the information processing apparatus to switch between displaying a maximum size status window and a minimum size status window. The maximum size status window includes the tab selected via the input unit and a tab page of the selected tab, and the minimum size status window includes the selected tab but not the tab page of the selected tab.
Abstract:
An image forming system includes a client apparatus, a print server, and an image forming apparatus, each of which are coupled via a network to one another. The client apparatus provides a job ID together with an IP address of the client apparatus to the print server, and transmits print job data to the image forming apparatus via the print server. The print server registers the job ID and the IP address in a job address table, receives content of an event transmitted from the image forming apparatus, reads an IP address associated with a job ID included in the content of the event from the job address table when the event is a change in job status, and transmits the content of the event to a client having the read IP address.
Abstract:
Upon startup of an OS, the present invention obtains an entry of a StatusMonitor key from all printer driver setting information subscribed in a registry by means of a subscriber (S0), and if a value thereof is 1, obtains an entry of a key including “Notification”. If a value of an array element 0 indicates activation of notification, the present invention obtains a character string of an array element 1 as an event type, and makes a Subscribe request to an image forming apparatus (S3). The present invention stores a subscription ID being returned, and makes an Unsubscribe request to the image forming apparatus for all subscription IDs thus stored, upon shut-down of the OS.

Abstract:
When an image forming apparatus acquires notification destination information from a document processing flow execution system, and is instructed to change information, the image forming apparatus requests that a master system, indicated by the notification destination information, change the information. The master system changes the information held by the master system itself as requested by the image forming apparatus. When the image forming apparatus is notified about the successful change of information from the master system, the image forming apparatus notifies a slave system, indicated by the notification destination information, about the change of information. When the slave system is notified about the change of information by the image forming apparatus, the slave system changes the information held by the slave system itself to the information acquired from the master system.

Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an event notification data preparing unit, an event notification data transmitting unit, an information-processor count calculating unit, and an information-processor count determining unit. The information-processor count calculating unit calculates a count of the at least one information processor to which the event notification data is transmitted. The information-processor count determining unit determines whether the information-processor count is equal to or less than an upper limit value for the event notification count. The event notification data transmitting unit directly transmits the event notification data to the at least one information processor if the information-processor count is equal to or less than the upper limit value for the event notification count, and via the server transmits the event notification data to the at least one information processor if the information-processor count is more than the upper limit value for the event notification count.
