Method for managing electronic apparatus, electronic apparatus, and management system for the same

摘要

A digital image processing multifunction apparatus is provided with an apparatus-side communication controlling section to communicate with either of portable terminals. When receiving a demand of the apparatus management information of the electronic apparatus from either of portable terminals, the apparatus-side communication controlling section identifies the portable terminal on the basis of a terminal information controlling section and transmits the apparatus management information in accordance with the portable terminal from an information management table. Thus, even in case where it is difficult to install and manage the electronic apparatus under a network environment, it is possible to provide a management system for the electronic apparatus which can collect apparatus management information relating to electronic apparatus easily and efficiently by utilizing portable terminals such as portable telephones which currently most people subscribe for so as to take proper actions promptly, without introducing a network environment.
