Abstract

An information processing system includes a reading device configured to perform reading processing for reading an original, and one or more controllers configured to function as an acquisition unit that acquires a number of processing operations per unit time period of the reading processing, and an acquisition unit that acquires operation rate information about the reading device based on the number of processing operations per unit time period of the reading processing and a predetermined number of processing operations of the reading processing.

Claims (23)

1. An information processing system comprising:

a printer configured to perform print processing of printing image data on a print medium; and

one or more controllers configured to:

acquire a number of times of printing per unit time period of the print processing, and

based on a first sum number of times that is a sum of the number of times of execution of the print processing in a first predetermined time period and based on the number of times of execution per unit time period of the print processing and based on the first predetermined time period, notify an execution status of the print processing in a device including the printer.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the execution status of the print processing in the device including the printer is a result of dividing the first sum number of times by the number of times of execution per unit time period of the print processing and by the first predetermined time period.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 , wherein based on a number of times of execution of task processing unrelated to the print medium, an execution status of the task processing in the device including the printer is notified.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 , wherein the one or more controllers are further configured to:

based on a second sum number of times that is a sum of the number of times of execution of the task processing in a second predetermined time period and based on the second predetermined time period, the execution status of the task processing in the device including the printer is notified.

5. The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the execution status of the task processing in the device including the printer is a result of dividing the second sum number of times by the second predetermined time period.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a scanner configured to read an original and generate image data, wherein

based on a number of times of execution of read processing executed by the scanner, an execution status of the read processing in a device including the printer and the scanner is notified.

7. The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein

the one or more controllers are further configured to:

based on a third sum number of times that is a sum of the number of times of execution of the read processing in a third predetermined time period and based on the number of times of execution per unit time period of the read processing and based on the third predetermined time period, notify the execution status of the read processing in the device including the printer and the scanner.

8. The information processing system according to claim 7 , wherein the execution status of the read processing in the device including the printer is a result of dividing the third sum number of times by the number of times of execution per unit time period of the read processing and by the second predetermined time period.

9. The information processing system according to claim 8 , wherein

the one or more controllers are further configured to:

notify an execution status of the device, and

the execution status of the device is a result of dividing, by three, a sum of the execution status of the task processing, the execution status of the print processing, and the execution status of the read processing.

10. The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein each of the number of times of execution per unit time period of the read processing, the number of times of execution per unit time period of the print processing, and the number of times of execution per unit time period of the task processing is a number of times per month.

11. The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein the one or more controllers are capable of notifying a device different from the device of the execution status in the device, the execution status of the task processing, the execution status of the print processing, and the execution status of the read processing.
