Publication number: 20180254944Abstract: A method of providing access to stored and compressed log information of one or more image forming apparatuses is disclosed. In response to receiving a request for log information, the stored log information is searched based on the received request. An expansion range of the log information is determined based on the searched log information and predetermined setting information. The log information corresponding to the determined expansion range is expanded. A browsing request to browse a portion of the stored log information is received. The portion of the stored log information is transmitted. An association between the log information browsed based on the browsing request and the determined expansion range is machine learned. A correction to the determined expansion range is determined based on the learned association. The correction is stored as the predetermined setting information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: September 6, 2018Inventors: Tatsuya INAGI, Masaki NARAHASHI, Hiroyo TANAKA, Sou MIYAZAKI
