DEADLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD FOR DEADLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18469632 titled 'DEADLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD FOR DEADLINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a server apparatus that manages deadlines for transmitting answer information related to teaching material contents.

• The server apparatus accepts first deadline information from a personal computer regarding the deadline for transmitting answer information.
• It notifies second deadline information to a smartphone or multifunction peripheral corresponding to the first deadline.
• The server notifies the personal computer about the deadline determination information, indicating whether the answer image has been received by the deadline.
• The multifunction peripheral reads a second print containing an image corresponding to the answer information and transmits the answer image to the server apparatus.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in educational settings to streamline the process of collecting and managing answer information for teaching materials.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in ensuring that answer information is transmitted within the specified deadlines, improving efficiency and organization in educational tasks.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved deadline management, enhanced communication between devices, and increased efficiency in handling teaching material contents.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology could include educational software development, digital learning platforms, and office automation systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that manage deadlines and notifications for document transmission in office settings.

How does this technology ensure data security during the transmission process?

The abstract does not provide details on the security measures implemented to protect the transmitted answer information.

What is the scalability of this technology for handling a large volume of teaching material contents?

The abstract does not mention the scalability of the server apparatus for managing multiple teaching material contents simultaneously.

Original Abstract Submitted

A server apparatus includes an accepting unit configured to accept, from a personal computer, first deadline information indicating a deadline for transmitting answer information for teaching material contents, a first print of which was sent in advance, from a multifunction peripheral to the server apparatus, a first notifying unit configured to notify second deadline information corresponding to the first deadline information to at least one of a smartphone and the multifunction peripheral, and a second notifying unit configured to notify, to the personal computer, deadline determination information indicating whether an answer image has been received from the multifunction peripheral by the deadline. The multifunction peripheral includes a reading executing unit configured to read a second print including an image corresponding to the answer information and generate the answer image and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the answer image to the server apparatus.
