Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to obtain information regarding past usage of a device managed by a manager from stored information, the stored information storing information regarding the past usage of a device in connection with identification information of the device, extract, of obtained information regarding the past usage, information on an item predetermined according to a role that the manager has, and send extracted information to a terminal of the manager.

Claims (27)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

obtain information regarding past usage of a device managed by a manager from stored information, the stored information storing information regarding the past usage of a device in connection with identification information of the device,

extract, of obtained information regarding the past usage, information on an item predetermined according to a role that the manager has, and

send extracted information to a terminal of the manager.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive identification information of the manager and obtain information on a device managed by the manager from information regarding the manager linked with the identification information of the manager.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the information regarding the manager includes information on a place where the device managed by the manager is installed.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive identification information of the manager and obtain a role of the manager from information regarding the manager linked with the identification information of the manager.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the identification information of the manager and obtain a role of the manager from the information regarding the manager linked with the identification information of the manager.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the identification information of the manager and obtain a role of the manager from the information regarding the manager linked with the identification information of the manager.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein when a plurality of roles is obtained for the manager, the processor is configured to cause a display of a selection screen and prompt a selection from among the plurality of roles.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein when a plurality of roles is obtained for the manager, the processor is configured to cause a display of a selection screen and prompt a selection from among the plurality of roles.
