APPARATUS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, APPARATUS MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An agent unit acquires apparatus status information that indicates a status of the electronic apparatus from an electronic apparatus. A remote maintenance server transmits an acquisition instruction of the apparatus status information to the agent unit and receives the apparatus status information from the agent unit if acquisition of the apparatus status information succeeded. The remote maintenance server (a) acquires operation schedule information on the electronic apparatus, (b) transmits an acquisition instruction of the apparatus status information to the agent unit, (c) registers a retransmission schedule of the acquisition instruction so as to transmit the acquisition instruction at a timing within an operation period of the electronic apparatus determined from the operation schedule if acquisition of the apparatus status information failed, and (d) transmits the acquisition instruction to the agent unit at the timing of the retransmission schedule.

主权项

1. An apparatus management system, comprising:
an electronic apparatus; an agent unit configured to acquire apparatus status information that indicates a status of the electronic apparatus from the electronic apparatus; and a remote maintenance server configured to transmit an acquisition instruction of the apparatus status information to the agent unit and receive the apparatus status information from the agent unit if acquisition of the apparatus status information succeeded; wherein the remote maintenance server is further configured (a) to acquire operation schedule information on the electronic apparatus, (b) to transmit an acquisition instruction of the apparatus status information to the agent unit, (c) to register a retransmission schedule of the acquisition instruction so as to transmit the acquisition instruction at a timing within an operation period of the electronic apparatus determined from the operation schedule if acquisition of the apparatus status information failed, and (d) to transmit the acquisition instruction to the agent unit at the timing of the retransmission schedule.
