SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOTE MANAGEMENT OF IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system for remote management of image processing devices, the system comprising:
- a plurality of image processing devices which each detect their own first state information according to a power state transition or an operation state, provide the first state information via a network, and respond to polling; and
a management server which manages the first state information provided from each image processing device and second state information obtained from a polling response, and manages a history of each image processing device based on the first state information and the second state information.

Abstract
A remote management system includes a plurality of image processing devices which each detect their own first state information according to a power state transition or an operation, provide the first state information via a network, and respond to polling; and a management server which manages the first state information provided by each image processing device and second state information obtained from a response to polling, and manages a history of each image processing device based on the first state information and the second state information. The remote management system can remotely collect and manage operation state, error information that can cause a malfunction, error information generated by abnormal operation as well as malfunction of individual image processing devices and can collect/manage state information such as image processing device internal operation state information, image processing device malfunction, network connection failure, and software error.

15. An image processing device which acquires and stores an image, the device comprising:
-
a power manager which supplies an operating voltage to the image processing device and provides power-on information, power-off information or reboot information according to a power state transition; an image acquisition unit which acquires an image and provides an image signal; a data storage which is realized by a hard disk drive (HDD) and stores image data corresponding to the image signal; a data processor which digitally processes the image signal provided from the image acquisition unit and provides image data loss information or storage state error information when data loss or a storage error occurs in processing the image signal; and a state manager which generates storage failure state information when the amount of data stored in the data storage does not increase for a predetermined time, polls each processor operating software and generates software error information when a processor responds with abnormal information or there is no polling response, generates processor error information when a processor'"'"'s operation is stopped, and transmits the information provided from the data processor and the power manager and the generated information to a management server.

16. A management server which manages an image processing device, the server comprising:
-
a state information processor which periodically polls the image processing device, and when there is no polling response, detects malfunction of the image processing device, an operation error or network connection failure, and generates device error information, network connection failure information or software error information; a database which stores the device error information, network connection failure information or software error information generated by the state information processor; a state information provider which transmits the device error information, network connection failure information software error information to at least one console in real time or transmits the device error information, network connection failure information or software error information using a text message or an e-mail; and a history manager which manages history information based on the device error information, network connection failure information or software error information stored in the database.

17. A method for remote management of image processing devices, comprising
at a management server, accessing and registering a plurality of image processing devices via a network; -
at each image processing device, transmitting first state information, detected by the image processing device, to the management server; at the management server, generating second state information based on a response to periodic polling; at the management server, providing the first state information and the second state information to an operator console in real time; at the console, outputting the first state information and the second state information; and at the management server, managing history information based on the first state information and the second state information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
