Patent Images
1. A network terminal management apparatus for communicating via a network with a user terminal, the network terminal management apparatus comprising:
- a terminal type recognition unit arranged to recognize whether a user terminal which accesses the network terminal management apparatus is a multifunction device;
a terminal information acquiring unit arranged to acquire, from the user terminal, terminal information held by the user terminal, if the user terminal is recognized to be a multifunction device by the terminal type recognition unit;
a task list generating unit arranged to generate a list of tasks associated with the acquired terminal information; and
a task list sending unit arranged to send information of the associated list to the user terminal.

Abstract
A network terminal management apparatus is able to manage terminals using a simple method, without the user feeling that convenience in terms of operability has been compromised. This network terminal management apparatus generates a list table of target tasks in which user terminal information is included, and sends the information of the list table to the user terminal. This enables the user to select desired target tasks from the displayed list table and enjoy services even with a multi-function processor having low operability.
