Patent number: 10861082Abstract: A management server receives, from a terminal device, authentication information of a target user and first relationship information related to a target printer. In response to transmission of the authentication information to a purchase server, the management server receives, from the purchase server, M number of pieces of color-material identification information identifying M number of types of color material that have been previously purchased by the target user. The management server extracts, from among the M number of pieces of color-material identification information, N number of pieces of color-material identification information, identifying N number of types of color material, by using the first relationship information. The management server transmits, to the terminal device, second relationship information for controlling the terminal device to display a screen used for purchasing at least one type of color material from among the N number of types of color material.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Sugamata

Patent number: 8194062Abstract: A display terminal includes a nonvolatile display device and a power-off control device. The display device has a display region and holds display in the display region even if a supply of power from a power source is cut off. The power-off control device updates only the display in a partial display region, which is a part of the display region, with display of notification information indicating that the power supply has been cut off. The power-off control device also performs processing to cut off the supply of power from the power source to the display terminal.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Sugamata

Patent number: 8194091Abstract: A portable display device transitions between a first and second state. The device has a display portion, a power source for supplying power in the first state and supplying less power in the second state than in the first state, a controller that drives the display portion, an operation portion that executes commands, and a mode storage portion that stores one of a first and second mode. The first mode corresponds to displaying preset information, and the second mode corresponds to particular information to be continuously displayed. The particular information is information displayed in the display portion when the device is in the first state. When the device is in the second state, the preset information is displayed in the display portion when the first mode is stored in the mode storage portion, and the particular information is continuously displayed when the second mode is stored in the mode storage portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Sugamata

Publication number: 20100205565Abstract: A display device includes a display unit, an information acquisition unit, and a display control unit. The information acquisition unit acquires list information containing title information on a plurality of data files or information corresponding to the title information. The display control unit displays a title list which is a list of the title information on the data files on the display unit based on the list information acquired by the information acquisition unit. In the display device, the list information contains information on security setting for every data file. The display control unit, in displaying the title list on the display unit, displays predetermined information in place of the title information based on the information on security setting with respect to the data file to which security setting is given.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Sugamata
