METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND WIRELESS OPERATION UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18481767 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND WIRELESS OPERATION UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for controlling an image forming system that includes a wireless operation unit, an acquiring unit, and a display. The method involves a connection process where a third wireless communication unit connects individually to a first wireless communication unit of a first image forming apparatus and a second wireless communication unit of a second image forming apparatus via wireless communication without a wireless LAN router. The acquiring unit then acquires the status information of the first and second image forming apparatuses individually, and the display displays the acquired status information.

  • The method allows for wireless communication between the wireless operation unit and the image forming apparatuses without the need for a wireless LAN router.
  • The acquiring unit can obtain the status information of each image forming apparatus separately.
  • The display can show the status information of each image forming apparatus.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in office environments where multiple image forming apparatuses are present, allowing for easy monitoring and control of their status.
  • It can also be applied in printing shops or other businesses that require efficient management of multiple image forming devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Eliminates the need for a wireless LAN router, reducing the complexity and cost of the image forming system setup.
  • Provides a convenient way to monitor and control the status of multiple image forming apparatuses without physical connections.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the setup and operation of an image forming system by enabling wireless communication between the operation unit and the apparatuses.
  • Allows for efficient monitoring and control of the status of multiple image forming apparatuses, improving productivity and reducing downtime.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling an image forming system including a wireless operation unit having a third wireless communication unit, an acquiring unit that acquires status information of the image forming apparatuses, and a display that displays the status information of the image forming apparatuses includes a connection process in which the third wireless communication unit connects individually to each of a first wireless communication unit of a first image forming apparatus and a second wireless communication unit of a second image forming apparatus via wireless communication without a wireless LAN router, an acquisition process in which the acquiring unit acquires the status information of the first image forming apparatus and the status information of the second image forming apparatus individually, and a display process in which the display displays the status information of the first image forming apparatus and the status information of the second image forming apparatus.
