Abstract
There are provided a state monitoring device and a state management system which monitor a use state of a PC by a user by utilizing detecting results of the human detection sensor effectively. The state monitoring device (10) for detecting whether a user is present at an operative position of PC (20), is connected to the PC (20) on a LAN (30). The information provided for the PC (20) by the state monitoring device (10), is shared with all the PCs (20) on the LAN (30).

1-5. (canceled)
A job processing system comprising:
- a state monitoring device connected to a host device and monitoring a use state of the host device by a user, the state monitoring device having a detector for detecting presence of the user at an operative position where the user operates the host device, and a notifier for notifying the host device, according to a detecting result of the detector, of the user's absence from the operative position or of the user's return to the operative position;
- and
- a plurality of the host devices each connected to the state monitoring device;
- wherein each one of the host devices has:
- a job recorder for receiving and recording a job command input by a user for a file to be duplicated in a period of time during which the user is absent from the operative position;
- and
- a job processor for making a backup of the file recorded in the job recorder while the notifier is notifying the host device of the user's absence from the operative position.
