Original Abstract Submitted
A system identifies, based on a predetermined error occurring in an image processing apparatus, a plurality of parts each having a possibility of eliminating the predetermined error by being replaced, determines a failure possibility of each of the identified plurality of parts, calculates a failure cause probability of each of the identified plurality of parts based on field results, and provides data for performing a display including parts information including those results.
