DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS, DISTRIBUTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A distribution apparatus comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect a work required for a device based on information received from the device;
a first distribution unit configured to distribute image data for a display of information relating to the required work detected by the detection unit to the device;
a determination unit configured to determine whether the device has shifted its operation into a maintenance state based on information received from the device to which the first distribution unit has distributed the image data; and
a second distribution unit configured to distribute a subsequent part of the image data that follows a part having been displayed immediately before the device shifts its operation into the maintenance state, if the determination unit determines that the device has shifted its operation into the maintenance state, to a terminal apparatus of a worker who performs the work.

Abstract
A distribution apparatus includes a detection unit configured to detect a work required for a device based on information received from the device. A first distribution unit is configured to distribute image data for a display of information relating to the required work detected by the detection unit to the device. A determination unit is configured to determine whether the device has shifted its operation into a maintenance state, based on information received from the device to which the first distribution unit has distributed the image data. A second distribution unit is configured to distribute a subsequent part of the image data that follows a part having been displayed immediately before the device shifts its operation into the maintenance state, if the determination unit determines that the device has shifted its operation into the maintenance state, to a terminal apparatus of a worker who performs the work.

6. A distribution method comprising:
-
detecting a work required for a device based on information received from the device; instructing distribution of image data for a display of information relating to the required work to the device if the work required for the device is detected; determining whether the device has shifted its operation into a maintenance state based on information from the device that has received the image data; and distributing a subsequent part of the image data that follows a part having been displayed immediately before the device shifts its operation into the maintenance state, if it is determined that the device has shifted its operation into the maintenance state, to a terminal apparatus of a worker who performs the work. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A computer readable storage medium storing a control program that causes a computer to execute a distribution method, comprising:
-
computer-executable instructions for detecting a work required for a device based on information received from the device; computer-executable instructions for instructing distribution of image data for a display of information relating to the required work to the device if the work required for the device is detected; computer-executable instructions for determining whether the device has shifted its operation into a maintenance state based on information from the device that has received the image data; and computer-executable instructions for distributing a subsequent part of the image data that follows a part having been displayed immediately before the device shifts its operation into the maintenance state, if it is determined that the device has shifted its operation into the maintenance state, to a terminal apparatus of a worker who performs the work.
