  • Patent number: 11029899
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210137449
    Abstract: A system that can include a processor that obtains voice data of a subject. The processor can compare the voice data of the subject with reference normal and abnormal voice data. If the voice data of the subject is abnormal, the processor can generate an abnormal subject voice data that is indicative of differences between the subject voice data and the normal voice data. By comparing the generated abnormal subject voice data with the reference normal and abnormal voice data, the processor can determine what condition the subject may be suffering from and the severity of that condition.
