| 20100198387 | QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM, QUALITY CONTROL APPARATUS, QUALITY CONTROL METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A quality control method includes: extracting, from a time series distribution of troubles that have occurred in electronic equipments, a first characteristics of states of occurrence of the troubles; specifying one or more parts included in the electronic equipments, the parts being involved with the troubles; extracting, from another time series distribution of a rate of use corresponding to each of suppliers which supply the specified parts, a second characteristics of the parts; and specifying one or more of the suppliers supplying the parts correlated to the troubles based on a correlation between the extracted first characteristics and the extracted second characteristics. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100198541 | MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A management apparatus includes: a managing unit that manages production information corresponding to each of a plurality of information processing devices; a specifying unit that specifies, based on a defect notice for at least one component and the production information on the managed information processing devices, at least one of the information processing devices using the component; a state judging unit that judges whether each information processing device is in an operable state where a processing function of each information processing device is operable in an environment in which the processing function of each information proceeding device is provided; and a operation restricting unit that performs operation restriction for the processing function of each information proceeding device according to the defect notice if the state judging unit judges that each information processing device is in the operable state. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100202787 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONSUMABLE ITEM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus includes a prediction unit, an inquiry unit and a request unit. The inquiry unit judges whether or not the prediction unit deals with a type of a consumable item used in image formation processing. The request unit transmits use history information to a consumable item management apparatus and requests the consumable item management apparatus to predict a remaining usable period of the consumable item when the inquiry unit judges the prediction unit does not deal with the type of the consumable item in the image formation processing. The use history information indicates a use history of the consumable item. The prediction unit predicts the remaining usable period of the consumable item using the use history information in the image formation processing when the inquiry unit judges the first prediction unit deals with the type of the consumable item used in image formation processing. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100211814 | MONITORING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, MONITORING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A monitoring apparatus includes: a reception section that receives information including first use mode information from an first information processing apparatus; a storage section that stores the first use mode information received by the reception section; and a transmission section, when the reception section receives fault information together with the first use mode information from the first information processing apparatus, that transmits information concerning countermeasures against a fault to the first information processing apparatus based on the first use mode information and pieces of second use mode information, stored in the storage section, of second information processing apparatuses which normally operate. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20100225961 | MONITORING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A monitoring device includes: a receiving unit that receives information including first use mode information transmitted from a first information processing device; a memory unit that stores the received first use mode information; a creating unit that creates, when the receiving unit receives trouble information together with the first use mode information, a trouble prediction formula corresponding to the trouble information using second use mode information of a second information processing device in which the same trouble as that indicated in the trouble information has occurred; a storing unit that stores the created trouble prediction formula; and a determining unit that determines, when the receiving unit receives third use mode information of a third information processing device, whether or not a trouble in the third information processing device occurs in a high probability based on the stored trouble prediction formula and the received third use mode information. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110019245 | IMAGE DEFECT DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE DEFECT DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - An image defect diagnostic system includes: a memory that stores an image density threshold set for each of partial regions in a test target image being a test target for an image defect and set as a criteria for judging whether or not each of the partial regions has an image defect, and that stores a positional information piece indicating a position of corresponding one of the partial regions in the test target image, while associating the image density threshold and the positional information piece with each other; and a diagnostic unit that compares an image data piece of each of the partial regions generated by scanning the test target image with the image density threshold set for corresponding one of the partial regions stored in the memory, to diagnose whether or not an image defect occurs in the test target image. | 01-27-2011 |
