Device management system which cooperates with a power managment system for managing power consumption consumed by a plurality of electronic devices, control method for device management system, and storage medium

摘要

A device management system that manages specific information for specifying a plurality of image forming apparatuses that are the object of management, manages identification information corresponding to the image forming apparatus by association with the specific information, requests information related to power consumption of the image forming apparatus from the power management system by use of the identification information that is managed by a second management unit and manages information related to acquired power consumption by association with the specific information for the image forming apparatus.

主权项

1. A device management system that communicates through a network with a power management system that associates identification information for identifying a configuration for power supply with a plurality of electronic devices that includes at least one image forming apparatus to thereby manage power consumption consumed by the plurality of electronic devices, the device management system comprising:
a first management unit configured to manage specific information for specifying each image forming apparatus of a plurality of image forming apparatuses that is an object of management; a second management unit configured to manage identification information corresponding to each image forming apparatus by association with the specific information for specifying each image forming apparatus; a request unit configured to request the power management system for information related to power consumption of each image forming apparatus by use of the identification information that is managed by the second management unit; and a third management unit configured to manage the information related to power consumption acquired by the request unit by association with the specific information for specifying each image forming apparatus, wherein the identification information that identifies the configuration of the power supply is identification information read from an IC chip.
