Abstract:
A system abnormality determining method comprises the steps of transmitting fake abnormal information representing an abnormal condition of the target instrument from the target instrument to a condition determination device via a network during a test operation of the target instrument instead of condition information, determining if the condition determination device can determine the target instrument as being abnormal based on the fake abnormal information, and operating the target instrument in a normal operation condition when the condition determination device can determine the target instrument as being abnormal.
Abstract:
An area calculating unit calculates an image area of a toner image formed on a sheet recording member. A behavior detecting unit detects behavior of the recording member fed out of a conveying nip formed by a pair of conveying members. A thickness obtaining unit obtains thickness information of the recording member. An index calculating unit calculates an index value indicating windability of the recording member with respect to the conveying members based on the image area, the behavior, and the thickness information.
Abstract:
A determining unit determines whether the printer is in the predictive failure state based on the internal information of the printer acquired by the information acquiring unit. A failure risk computing unit performs a failure risk determination process for determining the size of failure risk of the printer when the printer is in the predictive failure state. The determination result is reported to a maintenance person or a user. In this way, the maintenance person or the user who receives the report can definitely grasp a degree of urgency of maintenance at that point.
Abstract:
A display terminal includes circuitry that: displays, on a display, a predetermined-area moving image, the predetermined-area moving image representing a predetermined area of a wide-view moving image having a wide angle of view; receives designation of a specific object visible in the predetermined-area moving image displayed on the display; and displays, on the display, the predetermined-area moving image such that movement of the specific object that is designated is tracked to make the specific object continuously visible in the predetermined-area moving image.
Abstract:
A display terminal includes circuitry that: receives an instruction to play back a moving image associated with a predetermined-area still image, the predetermined-area still image representing a predetermined area of a wide-view still image displayed on a display and having a wide angle of view; and in response to the instruction to play back the moving image, controls a display to display a predetermined-area moving image, based on point-of-view information indicating the predetermined area represented by the predetermined-area still image, the predetermined-area moving image representing a predetermined area of a wide-view moving image including the wide-view still image.
