CONTROL METHOD OF AN INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126534 titled 'CONTROL METHOD OF AN INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for preventing overlapping prompting of settings and avoiding unexpected settings during usage of a printer and a PC. The PC includes a determination unit to check if a predetermined setting in the printer has been completed, and a display unit to show a prompt for the setting based on the determination result.
- Determination unit in PC checks if printer setting is done
- Display unit in PC prompts predetermined setting based on determination
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various settings where multiple devices need to be synchronized in their settings, such as office environments, printing shops, and networked systems.
Problems Solved
1. Prevents overlapping prompting of settings 2. Avoids unexpected settings being made during usage
Benefits
1. Streamlines setting processes 2. Reduces errors in setting configurations 3. Enhances user experience by providing clear prompts
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Printer-PC Settings Synchronization for Efficient Workflow
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to device synchronization systems or methods in the field of information technology or networked devices.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle settings for multiple printers connected to a single PC?
The patent application does not specify how the system manages settings for multiple printers connected to a single PC. It would be interesting to know if the technology can differentiate between different printers and prompt settings accordingly.
Can this system be integrated with other types of devices beyond printers and PCs?
The patent application focuses on printers and PCs, but it is unclear if the technology can be adapted for use with other types of devices. It would be beneficial to explore the potential for broader applications across various devices and systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is an information processing system, an information processing method, and a storage medium that can suppress overlapping prompting of the setting and suppress an unexpected setting from being made in the usage. to this end, a pc includes a determination unit that determines whether predetermined setting in a printer has been done or not in one of a setting unit of the printer and a setting unit of the pc. moreover, a display unit of the pc displays a screen prompting the predetermined setting, based on a determination result of the determination unit.
