This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323189 titled 'DATA PROCESSING METHOD FOR MANAGING FIRST IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND SECOND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE USING SERVER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a data processing method for managing image processing devices using a server.

  • The server receives a request to replace the first image processing device.
  • The server acquires data from the first image processing device, including settings information, and stores it.
  • The server communicates with the second image processing device, which is a replacement device.
  • If a prescribed condition is satisfied, the server sends the data originally stored in the first image processing device to the second image processing device.
  • The prescribed condition is that a prescribed function of the first image processing device has been deactivated based on the request received by the server.


Original Abstract Submitted

A data processing method is for managing first and second image processing devices using a server. In the method, the server receives a request to replace the first image processing device, acquires from the first image processing device data, and stores the acquired data as data originally stored in the first image processing device. The data originally stored in the first image processing device includes settings information. In the method, the server communicates with the second image processing device which is a replacement device. In a case that a prescribed condition is satisfied, the server sends the data originally stored in the first image processing device to the second image processing device. For satisfying the prescribed condition, satisfying a condition that a prescribed function of the first image processing device has been deactivated on the basis of the request received by the server is necessary.
