Abstract
A mobile terminal is connected to a server and an image forming device that store image forming device information in such a manner that the mobile terminal can communicate with the server and the image forming device. The mobile terminal acquires image forming device information from the selected server and/or image forming device. When the acquired image forming device information includes duplication of an image forming device, an image forming device list is generated by removing the duplication. Information of an image forming device to be used is displayed on a user interface of the mobile terminal. A usable image forming device is selected and presented to a user.
Claims11
An information processing device comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires first information related to an image forming device from a server and second information related to the image forming device from the image forming device;
- a presentation unit that presents information related to the image forming device so that the image forming device is a single device when the first information is the same as the second information;
- and
- a unit that acquires location information of the information processing device,
- wherein the acquisition unit transmits the location information of the information processing device to the server and acquires the first and second information related to an image forming device that the server has determined to be closest to a location shown by the location information.
An information processing method executed by an information processing device, comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring first information related to an image forming device from a server and second information related to the image forming device from the image forming device;
- a presentation step of presenting information related to the image forming device so that the image forming device is a single device when the first information is the same as the second information;
- and
- a step of acquiring location information of the information processing device,
- wherein the acquisition step transmits the location information of the information processing device to the server and acquires the first and second information related to an image forming device that the server has determined to be closest to a location shown by the location information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded therein a program, wherein
- an information processing method is executed by an information processing device executing the program, the method comprising:
- an acquisition step of acquiring first information related to an image forming device from a server and second information related to the image forming device from the image forming device;
- a presentation step of presenting information related to the image forming device so that the image forming device is a single device when the first information is the same as the second information;
- and
- a step of acquiring location information of the information processing device,
- wherein the acquisition step transmits the location information of the information processing device to the server and acquires the first and second information related to an image forming device that the server has determined to be closest to a location shown by the location information.
