Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing method

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

if communication with a management apparatus managing the information processing apparatus failed, record a failure time and a restoration time in a storage unit of the information processing apparatus, the failure time being a time of the failure of the communication with the management apparatus, the restoration time being a time of restoration of the communication;

receive a presentation instruction to present information about utilization of the information processing apparatus;

if communication with the management apparatus failed before reception of the presentation instruction, transmit the failure time and the restoration time to an external storage device different from the management apparatus; and

present, via a display or audio output interface of the information processing apparatus, the information about utilization of the information processing apparatus between the failure time and the restoration time, the presented information about utilization being separate and distinct from the failure time and the restoration time and being received from the external storage device.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive an execution instruction to perform a function included in the information processing apparatus; and,

even if communication with the management apparatus fails, perform the function.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein information used in execution of the function is stored in the external storage device, and

wherein the processor is configured to:

even if communication with the management apparatus fails, when communication with the external storage device is successfully performed, perform the function.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the function includes printing, and

wherein the information used in execution of the function includes a print job.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

in execution of the function, cause the external storage device to store, as the information about utilization, information including content of the execution instruction, a user who transmits the execution instruction, and a date and time of reception of the execution instruction.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

if no failure has occurred in communication with the management apparatus before reception of the presentation instruction, present a message that no failure has occurred in communication with the management apparatus.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

regard a case in which the failure time and the restoration time are not recorded in the storage unit, as a case in which no failure has occurred in communication with the management apparatus, and, in response to the presentation instruction, present a message that no failure has occurred in communication with the management apparatus.

8 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

if communication with a management apparatus managing an information processing apparatus failed, recording a failure time and a restoration time in a storage unit of the information processing apparatus, the failure time being a time of the failure of the communication with the management apparatus, the restoration time being a time of restoration of the communication;

receiving a presentation instruction to present information about utilization of the information processing apparatus;

if communication with the management apparatus failed before reception of the presentation instruction, transmitting the failure time and the restoration time to an external storage device different from the management apparatus; and

presenting, via a display or audio output interface of the information processing apparatus, the information about utilization of the information processing apparatus between the failure time and the restoration time, the presented information about utilization being separate and distinct from the failure time and the restoration time and being received from the external storage device.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

if communication with a management apparatus managing an information processing apparatus failed, recording a failure time and a restoration time in a storage unit of the information processing apparatus, the failure time being a time of the failure of the communication with the management apparatus, the restoration time being a time of restoration of the communication;

receiving a presentation instruction to present information about utilization of the information processing apparatus;

if communication with the management apparatus failed before reception of the presentation instruction, transmitting the failure time and the restoration time to an external storage device different from the management apparatus; and

presenting, via a display or audio output interface of the information processing apparatus, the information about utilization of the information processing apparatus between the failure time and the restoration time, the presented information about utilization being separate and distinct from the failure time and the restoration time and being received from the external storage device.
