Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes specifying unit and a display. The specifying unit specifies whether or not a failure occurring in the information processing apparatus can be suppressed, based on predetermined information. The display that displays information for enabling suppression of the failure in a case where it is determined by the specifying unit that the failure can be suppressed.

Claims (28)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

detect a failure occurring in the information processing apparatus; and

in response to detecting the failure occurring in the information processing apparatus, specify whether the failure occurring in the information processing apparatus can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, based on predetermined information; and

a display that displays failure handling information related to enabling suppression of recurrence of the failure in response to specifying that the failure can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus,

wherein the failure that can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus includes a failure caused by a consumable of the information processing apparatus.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a probability that a failure based on failure information of the information processing apparatus is to be suppressed,

wherein the display displays the received probability.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit information including the failure information of the information processing apparatus to the information processing apparatus.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

acquire information including information on a failure occurring in a different image forming apparatus by communication with the different image forming apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a probability that a failure based on failure information of information processing apparatus and the acquired information is to be suppressed,

wherein the display displays the received probability.

6. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a processor, configured to:

detect a failure occurring in the image forming apparatus; and

in response to detecting the failure occurring in the image forming apparatus, specify whether the failure occurring in the image forming apparatus can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, based on predetermined information; and

a display that displays failure handling information related to enabling suppression of recurrence of the failure in response to specifying that the failure can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, wherein the failure that can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus includes a failure caused by a consumable of the information processing apparatus, and displays information relating to a different image forming apparatus which handles the suppression of recurrence of the failure.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing instructions that are executable by a processor to:

detect a failure occurring in an information processing apparatus;

in response to detecting the failure occurring in the information processing apparatus, specify whether the failure occurring in the information processing apparatus can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, based on predetermined information; and

displays failure handling information related to enabling suppression of recurrence of the failure in response to specifying that the failure can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus, wherein the failure that can be suppressed before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus includes a failure caused by a consumable of the information processing apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the failure handling information is information for offering a subscription of a service for the suppression of the recurrence of the failure before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus.

9. The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the failure handling information is information for offering a subscription of a service for the suppression of the recurrence of the failure before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 7 , wherein the failure handling information is information for offering a subscription of a service for the suppression of the recurrence of the failure before the failure occurs in the information processing apparatus.
