Electronic device, device management server, control method for electronic device, and control method for device management server

A device management server comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store position information indicating a position where an electronic device is installed, unique information uniquely assigned to the electronic device, and setting information set to the electronic device;
• a first reception unit configured to receive position information and unique information from the electronic device;
• a first acquisition unit configured to acquire from among a plurality of setting information stored in the storage unit, setting information corresponding to a combination of position information and unique information that matches a combination of the received position information and the received unique information;
• wherein
• when the electronic device replacing another electronic device is installed at a place where the other electronic device has been installed, and device information of the other electronic device is stored in the storage unit,
• the first reception unit is configured to receive position information and unique information from the electronic device, and
• the first acquisition unit is configured to, based on the position information and the unique information received from the electronic device, acquire from among a plurality of setting information stored in the storage unit, setting information in which position information corresponding to the position information of the electronic device is associated with unique information different from the received unique information.

A control method for an electronic device, comprising:

• transmitting to a device management server, position information indicating a position where the electronic device is installed, unique information uniquely assigned to the electronic device, and setting information set to the electronic device;
• receiving from the device management server, setting information set to the electronic device, based on the position information and the unique information;
• performing a setting of the electronic device based on the received setting information;
• receiving an adjustment value of device information which includes position information corresponding to the position information transmitted from the transmission unit and which includes unique information different from the unique information transmitted from the transmission unit, from the device management server configured to store the unique information assigned to the electronic device and an adjustment value of an adjustment target item of the electronic device which is adjusted so as to fall within a baseline value;
• and
• performing an adjustment for the adjustment target item of the electronic device based on the adjustment value of the received device information.

A control method for a device management server, the method comprising:

• storing in a storage unit of the device management server, position information indicating a position where an electronic device is installed, unique information uniquely assigned to the electronic device, and setting information set to the electronic device;
• receiving position information and unique information from the electronic device;
• acquiring setting information corresponding to a combination of position information and unique information that matches a combination of the received position information and the received unique information;
• transmitting the acquired setting information to the electronic device as a transmission source of the unique information;
• and
• when the position information in the received combination of the position information and the unique information matches the position information stored in the storage unit, and the unique information in the received combination does not match the unique information stored in the storage unit, correcting the received setting information using the setting information corresponding to the unique information determined not to match;
• and
• transmitting the corrected setting information to the electronic device as the transmission source of the unique information.
