A system includes a device and one or more information processing apparatuses. The device includes a device-information generator configured to generate device information on the device; and an analyzer determining unit configured to determine any one of the device and the one or more information processing apparatuses as an analyzer for the device information. The one determined as the analyzer includes an analysis unit configured to perform an analysis based on the device information; and a service determining unit configured to determine a service to the device based on a result of the analysis.
A system comprising:
A service determining method implemented by a system, the system including a printer device and one or more information processing apparatuses, the printer device and the one or more information processing apparatuses being different ones of a plurality of types of potential analysis devices each having an expected user associated therewith that varies amongst the plurality of types of the potential analysis devices based on the type of the potential analysis device, the service determining method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program product executable on a system including a printer device and one or more information processing apparatuses, the printer device and the one or more information processing apparatuses being different ones of a plurality of types of potential analysis devices each having an expected user associated therewith that varies amongst the different types of the potential analysis devices, the computer program product, when executed, configures the system to,
