INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18358427 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

An information processing apparatus is described in this patent application. The apparatus includes several components:

  • A first acquisition unit that acquires function information of a device created by a driver corresponding to the device.
  • A second acquisition unit that acquires the type of the device.
  • An editing unit that edits the function information acquired by the first acquisition unit.
  • A control unit that controls the editing unit to perform editing processing for the function information based on the type of the device acquired by the second acquisition unit.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Device management: The apparatus can be used to efficiently manage and edit function information of various devices created by different drivers.
  • Software development: The apparatus can assist in the development of software by providing accurate and updated function information for different types of devices.
  • System integration: The technology can be used to integrate different devices into a system by ensuring that their function information is properly edited and controlled.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient editing: Without this apparatus, editing function information of devices created by different drivers can be time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Inconsistent function information: The apparatus ensures that function information is edited based on the type of the device, reducing the risk of inconsistencies or conflicts in the information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: The apparatus streamlines the editing process for function information, saving time and effort.
  • Accurate function information: By controlling the editing based on the device type, the apparatus ensures that the function information is accurate and consistent.
  • Enhanced system integration: The technology facilitates the integration of different devices into a system by providing reliable and properly edited function information.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire function information of a device created by a driver corresponding to the device; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a type of the device; an editing unit configured to edit the function information acquired by the first acquisition unit; and a control unit configured to control the editing unit such that editing processing for the function information acquired by the first acquisition unit is performed based on the type of the device acquired by the second acquisition unit.
