Information processing system for resetting of configuration data

摘要

The setting management service determines whether or not to hand over configuration data before being replaced to an image forming apparatus after being replaced based on a changed content of device configuration information of the image forming apparatus after being replaced and a handover condition associated with configuration data of the image forming apparatus when the image forming apparatus is replaced, and specifies a setting item required for a reset based on a content of a change flag indicating whether or not a user has changed a setting of configuration data from an initial value to thereby notifies the specified setting item to the image forming apparatus when configuration data is not handed over. The image forming apparatus that has received the notification displays a screen that prompts a reset of the setting item required for the reset.

主权项

1. An information processing system comprising:
an image forming apparatus; and a management apparatus that manages operation setting information for switching an operation in the image forming apparatus, wherein the management apparatus comprises:
a configuration information acquiring unit configured to acquire device configuration information retained by the image forming apparatus after being replaced from the image forming apparatus via the network and store the device configuration information in a storage unit;a generating unit configured to the generate operation setting information for applying to the image forming apparatus; anda transmitting unit configured to transmit the generated operation setting information to the image forming apparatus via a network,wherein the generating unit:
generates the operation setting information for applying to the image forming apparatus based on the acquired device configuration information,compares the device configuration information, which is included in the image forming apparatus before being replaced and is stored in the storage unit, with the acquired device configuration information after being replaced to thereby determine the changed content of device configuration information accompanied with replacement of the image forming apparatus when the image forming apparatus has been replaced, anddetermines, based on the changed content, for each setting item whether or not to hand over a setting of first operation setting information indicating operation setting information corresponding to the image forming apparatus before being replaced to a setting of second operation setting information indicating operation setting information corresponding to the image forming apparatus after being replaced, and further determines whether or not the setting item not to be handed over to the second operation setting information as a result of the determination is required for a reset, andwherein the transmitting unit transmits the generated operation setting information for applying to the image forming apparatus after being replaced and the setting item required for the reset determined by the generating unit to the image forming apparatus after being replaced via the network, and wherein the image forming apparatus comprises:
a setting information acquiring unit configured to acquire the operation setting information for applying to the image forming apparatus and the setting item required for the reset from the transmitting unit provided in the management apparatus; anda displaying unit configured to display a screen that prompts the reset of the acquired setting item required for the reset.
