Patent number: 11029899Abstract: In a maintenance system, a controller of an information processing device is configured to perform receiving; storing; determining; and transmitting. The receiving receives a set of input information including device information, time information, and setting information via an input interface. The device information specifies a target image forming device. The time information specifies access time to access the target image forming device. The setting information relates to control data to be set in the target image forming device. The storing stores correlation information correlating the device information with the time information and setting information in a memory. The determining determines whether the access time has come. The transmitting transmits, in response to determining that the access time has come, the control data to the target image forming device via a network interface. The target image forming device is specified by the device information correlated by the correlation information.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Naoki Yoshida, Eriko Takahashi, Shintaro Kunimoto, Takashi Nishizaki
