Abstract
A program delivery server includes a collection unit configured to collect log information including actual use records of functions of an image forming apparatus, via a network, a selection unit configured to select at least one program, from among a plurality of control programs, using the log information that the collection unit collected, and a transmission unit configured to transmit a control program selected by the selection unit to the network.
Claims8
A program delivery server comprising:
- a collection unit configured to collect log information including actual use records of functions of an image forming apparatus, via a network;
- a storage unit configured to store a table for managing operations performed by a specific user at the image forming apparatus for each of a plurality of categories, based on log information of the specific user of the log information collected by the collection unit;
- a selection unit configured to select at least one control program corresponding to a category of an operation performed by the specific user at the image forming apparatus, from among a plurality of control programs, based on the table stored by the storage unit;
- a determination unit configured to determine whether the stored table includes more than a specified number of logs for operations performed by the specific user;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the control program selected by the selection unit to a client apparatus that the specific user uses in a case where the stored table is determined by the determination unit to include more than the specified number of logs for operations performed by the specific user,
- wherein the control program selected by the selection unit is a program that enables the operation performed by the specific user at the image forming apparatus to be done remotely from the client apparatus.
