Image processing apparatus with warning state detection server, and program

A server that collects data relating to an internal component from each of a plurality of image processing apparatuses, the server comprising

• a hardware processor that:
• creates a failure prediction list in which the plurality of image processing apparatuses is ranked;
• transmits the failure prediction list to each of the plurality of image processing apparatuses;
• and
• receives data transmitted from each of the plurality of image processing apparatuses, wherein
• the hardware processor updates the failure prediction list with reception of the data, and
• the hardware processor transmits the failure prediction list to each of the plurality of image processing apparatuses each time the failure prediction list is updated.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program executed in an image processing apparatus that transmits data relating to an internal component to a server, the computer readable program causing the image processing apparatus to perform:

• acquiring from the server a failure prediction list in which a plurality of image processing apparatuses is ranked;
• detecting that the internal component has reached a warning state;
• specifying one of the plurality of image processing apparatuses other than the image processing apparatus to be a data transmission stop apparatus, wherein the specified image processing apparatus causes that is to be caused to stop data transmission to the server from among other image processing apparatuses to be stopped, the hardware processor specifies the one image processing apparatus by referring to the failure prediction list in a case where it is detected that the internal component has reached the warning state;
• transmitting a stop command for causing the data transmission to the server to be stopped to the data transmission stop apparatus specified by the specifying;
• and
• transmitting, to the server, data relating to the internal component detected by the detecting as being in the warning state.
