ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333855 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes a multifunction peripheral that includes a failure detection unit and a candidate extraction unit.
- The failure detection unit is designed to detect failures that occur in multiple driven units.
- The candidate extraction unit collates audio collection data collected by an audio collection unit with failure audio data when a failure is detected.
- It extracts a first candidate for a component that causes the failure based on operation history and correspondence data.
- It specifies a component in a driven state immediately before the failure occurs and extracts it as a second candidate for the component that causes the failure.
- It sets a candidate for the component that causes the failure based on the first and second candidates extracted.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various industries where multifunction peripherals are utilized, such as offices, schools, and healthcare facilities. - It can help in improving the efficiency of maintenance processes by accurately identifying components that cause failures.
Problems Solved: - The technology addresses the challenge of quickly and accurately identifying the components that cause failures in multifunction peripherals. - It streamlines the troubleshooting process and reduces downtime by providing precise information on the root cause of failures.
Benefits: - Improved maintenance efficiency - Reduced downtime - Enhanced reliability of multifunction peripherals
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Failure Detection System for Multifunction Peripherals This technology can have commercial applications in the office equipment industry, maintenance service providers, and organizations that rely on multifunction peripherals for their operations. By offering a more efficient and accurate failure detection system, companies can save time and resources in maintaining their equipment.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the candidate extraction unit determine the first and second candidates for the component that causes the failure? 2. What are the key advantages of using this enhanced failure detection system in multifunction peripherals?
Original Abstract Submitted
a multifunction peripheral includes: a failure detection unit configured to detect a failure that occurs in a plurality of driven units; and a candidate extraction unit configured to collate, when the failure is detected, audio collection data collected by an audio collection unit with failure audio data and extract a first candidate for a component that causes the failure, to specify a component in a driven state immediately before the failure occurs based on operation history and correspondence data and extract the specified component as a second candidate for the component that causes the failure, and to set a candidate for the component that causes the failure based on the component extracted as the first candidate and the component extracted as the second candidate.
