Abstract
An image data processing device may be configured to be used in a system. The system may comprise the image data processing device, a management device and a plurality of electronic devices. The image data processing device may comprise a communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic device by using the first communication scheme. The image data processing device may cause, in a case where the communication unit receives the judgment information from the electronic device, a storing unit to store the received judgment information. The image data processing device may execute the image data processing in a case where it is determined that the processor is able to execute the image data processing based on the judgment information stored by the storing unit.
Claims13
An image data processing device configured to be used in a system,
- the system comprising the image data processing device, a management device and a plurality of electronic devices,
- the management device being configured to store, for each of the plurality of electronic devices, judgment information corresponding to the electronic device, the judgment information being for causing a processor to judge whether or not the processor is able to execute an image data processing,
- each of the plurality of electronic devices being configured to execute a communication by using a first communication scheme with the image data processing device, each of the plurality of electronic devices being configured to execute a communication by using a second communication scheme with the management device, the first communication scheme differing from the second communication scheme, and
- each of the plurality of electronic devices being configured to receive the judgment information corresponding to the electronic device thereof from the management device,
- the image data processing device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic device by using the first communication scheme;
- and
- the processor configured to perform:
- (A) causing, in a case where the communication unit receives the judgment information from the electronic device, a storing unit to store the received judgment information;
- and,
- (B) processing the image data,
- wherein the above (B) includes executing the image data processing in a case where it is determined that the processor is able to execute the image data processing based on the judgment information stored by the storing unit.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including a computer program for an electronic device configured to be used in a system,
- the system comprising an image data processing device, a management device and a plurality of electronic devices,
- the management device being configured to store, for each of the plurality of electronic devices, judgment information corresponding to the electronic device,
- the judgment information being for causing the image data processing device to judge whether or not the image data processing device is able to execute an image data processing,
- each of the plurality of electronic devices comprising a first electronic device-side communication unit and a second electronic device-side communication unit, the first electronic device-side communication unit being configured to execute a communication by using a first communication scheme with the image data processing device, the second electronic device-side communication unit being configured to execute a communication by using a second communication scheme with the management device, the first communication scheme differing from the second communication scheme,
- the computer program including instructions for causing one or more processors mounted on the electronic device to function as:
- an electronic device-side judgment information storing control module;
- and
- an electronic device-side judgment information sending control module,
- wherein
- the electronic device-side judgment information storing control module causes, in a case where the second electronic device-side communication unit receives the judgment information from the management device, a storing unit to store the received judgment information, and
- the electronic device-side judgment information sending control module controls the first electronic device-side communication unit so that the first electronic device-side communication unit sends the judgment information stored in the storing unit to the image data processing device when the first electronic device-side communication unit communicates with the image data processing device.

A management device configured to be used in a system,
- the system comprising an image data processing device, the management device and a plurality of electronic devices,
- each of the plurality of electronic devices being configured to execute a communication by using a first communication scheme with the image data processing device,
- each of the plurality of electronic devices being configured to execute a communication by using a second communication scheme with the management device, and
- the first communication scheme differing from the second communication scheme,
- the management device comprising:
- a computer;
- a storing unit configured to store judgment information corresponding to each of the plurality of electronic devices, the judgment information being for causing the image data processing device to judge whether or not to execute an image data processing;
- and
- a management device-side communication unit configured to communicate with the electronic device by using the second communication scheme,
- wherein
- the computer functions as a management device-side judgment information sending control module that controls the management device-side communication unit so that the management device-side communication unit sends the judgment information stored in the storing unit to the electronic device when the management device-side communication unit communicates with the electronic device.
