IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF GIVING NOTIFICATION OF CAUSAL PART - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129412 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF GIVING NOTIFICATION OF CAUSAL PART
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that communicates with a database storing information on errors in an image forming apparatus. The apparatus analyzes errors by acquiring information on the error to be analyzed and a related error that occurred before it, determining the causal part of the error based on timing information of both errors.
- The information processing apparatus communicates with a database storing error information.
- It acquires information on the error to be analyzed and a related error that occurred before it.
- The apparatus determines the causal part of the error based on timing information of both errors.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries where error analysis and troubleshooting are crucial, such as manufacturing, printing, and medical imaging.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in efficiently identifying the root cause of errors in an image forming apparatus, leading to quicker resolution and improved overall performance.
Benefits

Potential Commercial Applications
"Error Analysis and Troubleshooting Technology for Image Forming Apparatus" can be utilized in industries that heavily rely on image forming devices, such as printing companies, medical facilities, and graphic design studios.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be a similar system used in the field of computer hardware diagnostics, where error logs and timing information are analyzed to identify the root cause of system failures.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus prioritize which errors to analyze first?
The patent application does not specify the criteria or algorithm used to determine the order in which errors are analyzed.
Can the apparatus suggest solutions or preventive measures for identified errors?
The patent application does not mention if the apparatus has the capability to provide recommendations for resolving errors or preventing them in the future.
Original Abstract Submitted
there is provided an information processing apparatus for communicating with a database storing information on errors which have occurred in an image forming apparatus. the information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire, from the database, information on an error to be analyzed and information on a related error which occurred before an occurrence of the error to be analyzed, and determine a causal part being a cause of the error to be analyzed, based on error timing information related to a timing of occurrence of the error to be analyzed and error timing information related to a timing of occurrence of the related error.
