==NETWORK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18320089 titled 'NETWORK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

'''Abstract:'''
The patent application describes a communication test management application for an image forming apparatus. It enables client applications corresponding to services provided by a cloud server to perform communication tests and display the test results. The application displays all the communication test results for basic services. For contract-based services, the test result of the client application in a contracted state is displayed, while the test result of the client application in a non-contracted state is not shown.

'''Explanation:'''
* The patent application is for a communication test management application for an image forming apparatus.
* The application instructs client applications corresponding to services provided by a cloud server to perform communication tests.
* It displays the communication test results for basic services.
* For contract-based services, the test result of the client application in a contracted state is displayed.
* The test result of the client application in a non-contracted state is not displayed.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* This technology can be used in various industries where communication tests are necessary, such as telecommunications, IT services, and software development.
* It can be applied to image forming apparatuses, such as printers, scanners, and copiers, to ensure their communication capabilities are functioning properly.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* The application solves the problem of managing and displaying communication test results for different services provided by a cloud server.
* It addresses the issue of distinguishing between contracted and non-contracted client applications and displaying the appropriate test results.

'''Benefits:'''
* The application simplifies the management of communication test results by automatically instructing client applications to perform tests and displaying the results.
* It provides a clear distinction between contracted and non-contracted services, allowing for better monitoring and troubleshooting.
* The technology improves efficiency by automating the communication testing process and reducing manual intervention.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A communication test management application of an image forming apparatus instructs client applications respectively corresponding to services provided by a cloud server to execute communication tests, and displays communication test results. At this time, all the communication test results for basic services are displayed. As for a contract-based service, the communication test result of the client application corresponding to the contract-based service in a contracted state is displayed, whereas the communication test result of the client application corresponding to the contract-based service in a non-contracted state is not displayed.
