Publication number: 20160292541Abstract: The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a label production process program for executing steps on a computing portion of a terminal. The terminal is connected to a label producing apparatus that produces a label. The label includes an information print part having information printed thereon, and a winding part connected to the information print part and to be wound on an adherend. The steps comprises a position determination step, a mark data generation step, and a mark data output step. In the position determination step, a position of a mark to be a guidepost for a position to wind the winding part on the adherend, is determined. In the mark data generation step, mark data to form the mark at the position determined, is generated. In the mark data output step, the mark data generated is outputted to the label producing apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2016Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Ryo Yasui, Aiko Mizutani

Patent number: 8375401Abstract: An information processing device communicable with an external device has a device driver installed therein to control the external device, an application installed therein, and a controller executing the device driver and the application in parallel. The device driver, when executed, causes the controller to acquire from the external device a status code corresponding to a status of the external device, show on a display device a display representing the status of the external device, based on the status code, determine whether the application is executable, execute the application when determining that the application is executable, and transmit the acquired status code to the application in execution. The application, when executed, causes the controller to receive the status code from the transmitter, and show on the display device guidance information containing more detailed information than the display based on the status code.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Ryo Yasui

Patent number: 8161202Abstract: The peripheral device management system includes a server, a peripheral device, a data processing device. The data processing device includes an attempting unit, a confirming unit, a notifying unit, a first setting unit, and a second setting unit. The attempting unit attempts to acquire, from the peripheral device, firmware data. The confirming unit confirms, to the server, whether a newer firmware than the firmware installed on the peripheral device is available for downloading from the server. The notifying unit notifies that the newer firmware is available for downloading from the server. The first setting unit sets a first confirmation time as the confirmation time if a result of the attempting unit satisfies a prescribed condition. The second setting unit sets a second confirmation time that precedes the first confirmation time as the confirmation time if the result of the attempting unit does not satisfy the prescribed condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Ryo Yasui
