20090070449 | MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR THE SAME - There is described a management system which makes it possible to appropriately manage the managed apparatus, while securely maintaining the productivity of the managed apparatus. The system includes the management apparatus, the managed apparatus and the HTTP server. The managed apparatus is provided with a connection controlling section that periodically connects the managed apparatus itself to the HTTP server at a regular connecting timing, so as to read information sent from the management apparatus and to write apparatus information into the HTTP server. The connection controlling section determines whether or not the managed apparatus is coupled to the HTTP server at the regular connecting timing, based on its loading status and/or a presence or absence of the current job and connects it to the HTTP server asynchronously with the regular connecting timing, when determining that the managed apparatus is not coupled to the HTTP server at the regular connecting timing. | 03-12-2009 |
20090089443 | MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - A management system including a management apparatus and a managed apparatus connected with each other by a communications network, the system having a registration controller, wherein in an initial registration phase where the managed apparatus sends a registration request notice to the management apparatus, and the management apparatus returns a registration permission notice to the managed apparatus; in cases where a first communications method is utilized that enables immediate mutual communication, the registration controller determines that a final registration has completed when the managed apparatus has received the registration permission notice; and in cases where a second communications method via a server is utilized, the registration controller determines that a temporary registration has completed when connection between the managed apparatus and the server has been established, and when the managed apparatus has acquired the registration permission notice, the registration controller determines that the final registration has completed. | 04-02-2009 |
20090157760 | Management system, management method and control program - A management system in which at least one management apparatus and at least one apparatus to be managed are connected via a management server, wherein the management server comprising:
