Abstract
A mobile device is provided. The mobile device includes an imaging unit configured to generate an image, a communication interface configured to receive status information from an image forming apparatus corresponding to the generated image, a controller configured to control the communication interface to receive manual information on the image forming apparatus according to the received status information, and a display configured to synthesize and display the generated image and the received manual information.
Claims16
A mobile device comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to generate an image;
- a communication interface configured to receive status information from an image forming apparatus corresponding to the generated image;
- a controller, in response to a status of the image forming apparatus being determined as an error status based on the received status information, configured to control the communication interface to receive manual information including user manipulation information for resolving the error status of the image forming apparatus;
- and
- a display configured to synthesize and display the generated image and the received manual information,
- wherein the communication interface receives sensor information on a user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus, which is sensed by a sensor of the image forming apparatus, from the image forming apparatus, and the controller determines whether the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus corresponds to the user manipulation information included in the manual information based on the received sensor information,
- wherein in response to the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus being determined as not corresponding to the user manipulation information included in the manual information, the controller controls the display to display a message indicating that the user manipulation was performed incorrectly.
A method for providing a manual comprising:
- generating an image;
- receiving status information from an image forming apparatus corresponding to the generated image;
- receiving, in response to a status of the image forming apparatus being determined as an error status based on the received status information, manual information including user manipulation information for resolving the error status of the image forming apparatus;
- synthesizing and displaying the generated image and the received manual information;
- receiving sensor information on a user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus, which is sensed by a sensor of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus;
- determining whether the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus corresponds to the user manipulation information including in the manual information based on the received sensor information;
- and
- in response to the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus being determined as not corresponding to the user manipulation information included in the manual information, displaying a message indicating that the user manipulation was performed incorrectly.
At least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions which when executed control at least one processer to implement a method comprising:
- generating an image;
- receiving status information from an image forming apparatus corresponding to the generated image;
- receiving, in response to a status of the image forming apparatus being determined as an error status based on the received status information, manual information including user manipulation information for resolving the error status of the image forming apparatus;
- synthesizing and displaying the generated image and the received manual information;
- receiving sensor information on a user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus, which is sensed by a sensor of the image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus;
- determining whether the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus corresponds to the user manipulation information including in the manual information based on the received sensor information;
- and
- in response to the user manipulation made at the image forming apparatus being determined as not corresponding to the user manipulation information included in the manual information, displaying a message indicating that the user manipulation was performed incorrectly.
