Abstract
A communication test management application of an image forming apparatus instructs client applications respectively corresponding to services provided by a cloud server to execute communication tests, and displays communication test results. At this time, all the communication test results for basic services are displayed. As for a contract-based service, the communication test result of the client application corresponding to the contract-based service in a contracted state is displayed, whereas the communication test result of the client application corresponding to the contract-based service in a non-contracted state is not displayed.
Claims7
A network device on which a plurality of client applications respectively corresponding to a basic service and a contract-based service that are provided by a service provision system is installed, the network device comprising:
- a display;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor executing the instructions causing the network device to:
- instruct both of a first client application corresponding to the basic service and a second client application corresponding to the contract-based service, among the plurality of client applications, to execute communication tests for the basic service and the contract-based service, respectively;
- receive communication test results respectively from the first client application and the second client application;
- transmit the communication test result of the first client application and the communication test result of the second client application to the service provision system;
- in a case where the contract-based service is in a contracted state, display both of the communication test result of the first client application and the communication test result of the second client application on the display;
- and
- in a case where the contract-based service is in a non-contracted state, display the communication test result of the first client application on the display without displaying the communication test result of the second client application.
A method for controlling a network device on which a plurality of client applications respectively corresponding to a basic service and a contract-based service that are provided by a service provision system is installed, the method comprising:
- instructing both of a first client application corresponding to the basic service and a second client application corresponding to the contract-based service, among the plurality of client applications, to execute communication tests for the basic service and the contract-based service, respectively;
- receiving communication test results respectively from the first client application and the second client application;
- transmitting the communication test result of the first client application and the communication test result of the second client application to the service provision system;
- in a case where the contract-based service is in a contracted state, displaying both of the communication test result of the first client application and the communication test result of the second client application on a display of the network device;
- and
- in a case where the contract-based service is in a non-contracted state, displaying the communication test result of the first client application on the display without displaying the communication test result of the second client application.
