发明名称 Device registration system and method
摘要 A device registration system includes a network, an image forming apparatus, a mobile terminal communicatively connected to the network via an access point, and a server. The image forming apparatus comprises an image forming apparatus near field communication (NFC) unit configured to perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal comprises a mobile terminal NFC unit configured to perform wireless communication with the image forming apparatus. The server is configured to register setting information associated with the image forming apparatus in a search list, wherein the setting information includes (i) position information indicative of a location of the image forming apparatus and (ii) tag information representative of a text label that describes the image forming apparatus.

主权项 1. A device registration system comprising a network, an image forming apparatus, a mobile terminal communicatively connected to the network via an access point, and a server, wherein the image forming apparatus comprises an image forming apparatus near field communication (NFC) unit configured to perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a mobile terminal NFC unit configured to perform wireless communication with the image forming apparatus, wherein, when the mobile terminal is positioned close to the image forming apparatus, the mobile terminal is configured to establish a connection with the image forming apparatus via a NFC, wherein the server is configured to register, in a search list displayed on the mobile terminal, the image forming apparatus that is connected to the mobile terminal and setting information stored in the image forming apparatus, wherein the setting information includes at least one of a model name, a host name, and an IP address, and a serial ID associated with the image forming apparatus, wherein, when the mobile terminal establishes the connection with the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus NFC unit is configured to transmit to the mobile terminal a first dialog screen data that includes the setting information of the image forming apparatus connected to the mobile terminal and a first input area for authentication information, wherein the mobile terminal includes an operation panel configured to display the first dialog screen data received from the image forming apparatus, and transmits the authentication information input from the first input area to the image forming apparatus connected to the mobile terminal, wherein, if an authentication based on the authentication information is valid, the image forming apparatus NFC unit is configured to transmit to the mobile terminal a second dialog screen data that includes the setting information, a second input area for position information, and a third input area for tag information, wherein the mobile terminal is configured to display the second dialog screen data received from the image forming apparatus on the operation panel, and to transmit the position information and the tag information input from the second input area and the third input area to the image forming apparatus connected to the mobile terminal, wherein the position information is obtained by a global positioning system processor of the mobile terminal and transmitted from the mobile terminal NFC unit, and wherein the tag information includes details of the position information having at least one of a floor number of a building and a cardinal direction.
