Abstract:
Portable information devices each include a portable-side communication unit to communicate with an image processing apparatus within a range of a predetermined distance, and a portable-side control unit. The portable-side control unit executes the steps of: specifying a linked process; displaying an operation screen for accepting a setting value corresponding to the linked process in a state in which the portable-side communication unit is unable to communicate with the image processing apparatus; accepting a setting value from a user; in response to the portable-side communication unit becoming able to communicate with the image processing apparatus, transmitting a setting request and receiving a response to the setting request from the image processing apparatus; if the response indicates to start the linked process, transmitting/receiving data in cooperation with the image processing apparatus; and if the response requests a setting value, displaying an operation screen for setting the requested setting value.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface capable of communication over a plurality of frequency bands and a controller configured to determine whether the content of communication of the communication interface satisfies a predetermined condition. The controller is configured to execute control for switching the frequency band of communication via the communication interface to another frequency band over the frequency bands when the content of communication of the communication interface satisfies a predetermined condition.

A simulation device includes: a simulator simulating an information processing device; a virtual execution controller executing a job identical to a job executed by the information processing device, while a parameter different from a parameter set in the information processing device, is set in a virtual device in which the simulator simulates the information processing device, by controlling the simulator, when the information processing device is out of a preset admissibility condition; a parameter determinator determining the parameter set in the virtual device, as a change parameter, when the virtual device while the virtual device executes the job, satisfies the admissibility condition; and a setter controlling the information processing device such that the determined change parameter is set in the information processing device, when an environment of the information processing device becomes identical to an environment when the information processing device is out of the admissibility condition.
Abstract:
A simulation device includes a hardware processer that simulates an apparatus. When an state of the apparatus does not satisfy a allowable condition, the hardware processor determines a group of the plurality of jobs being executed as an error group, and allows a virtual device to carry out a plurality of jobs that are generated when a parameter defined by at least one of the plurality of jobs included in the error group is changed. When a state of the virtual device satisfies the allowable condition, the hardware processor determines a group of the plurality of jobs executed as a change job group. When the apparatus carries out a plurality of new jobs, the hardware processor allows the apparatus to change each of parameters of the plurality of new jobs to a parameter defined by a change job included in the change job group.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a hardware processor that: detects a defect that occurs when an image processor performs an image process on process data; produces verification data when the defect is detected during the image process, wherein the verification data is formed in a case that at least one portion of the process data, to be processed by the image processor, is changed and causes a same defect that occurs during the image process on the process data; and externally outputs the verification data instead of the process data.
