摘要： Methods and apparatus for predicting colorant usage by printing devices are provided. A prediction server can receive a request to predict colorant usage for a first printing device. The prediction server can determine first plurality of functions to predict colorant usage for the first printing device. The first plurality of functions can include at least one linear function and at least one non-linear function. The first plurality of functions can be based on colorant-usage rates indicating historical rates of change in colorant used by the first printing device. The prediction server can determine a prediction of colorant usage for the first printing device using the first plurality of functions. The prediction server can provide an output involving the prediction of colorant usage for the first printing device, where the prediction of colorant usage can include a confidence interval related to the prediction.

摘要： A method of proactively identifying print device incidents for servicing by a service provider may include receiving print device data for one or more print devices, determining a probability value for each of the one or more of the print devices based on the print device data, where each probability value represents a likelihood that the print device will experience a subsequent incident of an incident type within a timeframe, identifying one or more of the print devices associated with probability values that each exceed a threshold value, and for one or more of the print devices that is identified, automatically initiating a service request for the subsequent incident.

摘要： A method to diagnosis an electro-mechanical part on an image forming device comprises: determining an incident count for a first time interval for the electro-mechanical part; determining if the incident count for the first time interval exceeds a first threshold level; marking the incident count as a high rate if the incident count exceeds the first threshold level; marking the incident count as a low rate if the incident count is more than 0 but equal to or less than the first threshold level; marking the incident count as a zero rate if the incident count is equal to 0; monitoring the electro-mechanical part for a second time interval, wherein the second time interval is a plurality of first time intervals; cumulating a number of first time intervals with the low rate during the second time intervals; and marking the electro-mechanical part as needing to be one of repaired or serviced when the number of first time intervals with the low rate during the second time intervals exceeds a second threshold level.

摘要： A managing server accepts an instruction of a message intended to be displayed on a screen of an image processing apparatus from a user, and generates page information including the message and first instruction information corresponding to the accepted instruction. The image processing apparatus periodically performs a first inquiry about instruction information for the image processing apparatus to the managing server, displays, in response to a notification based on the first instruction information from the managing server, a message corresponding to the notification in a status display area of a displaying unit, acquires the page information including the message related to the first instruction information from the managing server, and displays the acquired page information on the displaying unit.

摘要： A power supply control device includes the following elements. A first sensor detects a human near an information processing apparatus which is in a power-saving state. A second sensor detects a human if a human has been detected by the first sensor. A verifying unit verifies a detection state of a human if a human has been detected by the second sensor. A controller controls supply of power to the information processing apparatus so that the power-saving state will be canceled if the detection state of a human has been verified by the verifying unit.

摘要： A device is provided that includes a recording medium with embedded communication functionality, a communication controller, a communication status verifier, a communication period calculator, and a verification interval setter. The recording medium stores data. The communication controller transmits the data to an external system via the recording medium. The communication status verifier obtains the communication status of the recording medium at a predetermined interval. The communication period calculator estimates a communication period required by the communication controller when transmitting the data to the external system. The verification interval setter relatively increases the frequency of the communication status verification, which is performed by the communication status verifier, from a predetermined time before or a predetermined time after the end of the estimated communication period until the obtained communication status indicates completion of the data transmission.
