Abstract
An information processing device includes a storage and a controller. The storage stores identification information and registration information of an image forming device in association with each other. The controller connects to the image forming device, based on the identification information, to acquire device information of the image forming device. If the acquired device information does not match the registration information, the connected image forming device announces that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information.
Claims7
An information processing device comprising:
- a storage;
- a controller;
- and
- a display, wherein
- the storage stores identification information and registration information of an image forming device in association with each other,
- the controller connects to the image forming device, based on the identification information, to acquire device information of the image forming device,
- if the acquired device information does not match the registration information, the controller announces that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information,
- if the registration information matching the device information exists, the controller rewrites the identification information associated with the registration information,
- the display is capable of displaying a list of the registration information, and
- if the acquired device information does not match the registration information:
- the controller controls the display to indicate that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information, and
- the controller further controls the display to display the registration information that does not match the acquired device information in a display format different from other registration information.
An information processing system comprising:
- an image forming device;
- an information processing device, wherein the information processing device includes a first storage, a first controller, and a display,
- the first storage stores identification information and registration information of the image forming device in association with each other,
- the first controller connects to the image forming device, based on the identification information, to acquire device information of the image forming device,
- if the acquired device information does not match the registration information, the first controller announces that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information,
- if the registration information matching the device information exists, the first controller rewrites the identification information associated with the registration information,
- the display is capable of displaying a list of the registration information, and
- if the acquired device information does not match the registration information:
- the first controller controls the display to indicate that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information, and
- the first controller further controls the display to display the registration information that does not match the acquired device information in a display format different from other registration information;
- and
- the image forming device includes a second controller, and a second storage that stores computer-readable instructions, wherein
- the second controller, by performing the computer-readable instructions stored in the second storage, outputs the device information in response to a request by the first controller for acquiring the device information.
An information processing method comprising:
- storing identification information and registration information of an image forming device in association with each other;
- connecting to the image forming device, based on the identification information, to acquire device information of the image forming device;
- announcing, if the acquired device information does not match the registration information, that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information;
- rewriting the identification information associated with the registration information if the registration information matching the device information exists;
- displaying a list of the registration information on a display,
- controlling, if the acquired device information does not match the registration information, the display to indicate that the connected image forming device is different from the image forming device identified by the registration information;
- and
- controlling the display to display the registration information that does not match the acquired device information in a display format different from other registration information.
