111st, acquiring unit 112 and identifying unit 113.
Director's terminal 100 is to access http-server 300 when receiving and ordering mail and determine to order having for mail
The device of effect property.The determination result of the validity of mail is ordered in the display of display unit 130.In addition, network interface 140 be control with
The interface of the communication of other devices.
Facility information DB 120 is the database for storing predetermined condition, and the predetermined condition is used for associated with each running stores
Ground determines the validity of the order mail received from such as MFP/LP 200 device.It is stored in facility information DB 120
Predetermined condition is corresponding with the predetermined condition set for MFP/LP 200.For example, mixed colours in MFP/LP 200 for magenta
Agent and in the case that threshold value 20% is set, facility information DB 120 can store the predetermined bar of the threshold value 20% of magenta toner
Part.Threshold value is the example of predetermined condition.
In superincumbent description, describe the predetermined condition being stored in facility information DB 120 and be directed to MFP/LP 200
The predetermined condition identical situation of setting, but this is not restricted.Can the renewal frequency based on counter information DB 320
To change the predetermined condition being stored in facility information DB 120.
The situation that the predetermined condition being stored in facility information DB 120 is changed will be described using specific example.Example
Such as, it is assumed that the threshold value of the surplus for the magenta toner being stored in MFP/LP 200 is " 20% ".In this case, and
And in the case of daily refresh counter information DB 320, due to being ordered after refresh counter information DB 320 until sending
Mail, the magenta toner of surplus is reduced, so the threshold value being stored in facility information DB 120 can be configured to example
Such as " 21% ".
Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of facility information DB Example data structure.Facility information DB 120 is by running stores and running stores
Threshold value be associated.For example, the surplus (%) of black toner is associated by facility information DB 120 with threshold value " 20 ",
The surplus (%) of magenta toner is associated with threshold value " 20 ", and surplus (%) and the threshold value " 20 " of cyan toner are entered
Row association, and the surplus (%) of Yellow toner is associated with threshold value " 20 ".Facility information DB shown in Fig. 4
120 data structure is example, and if each project is associated in the same manner as described above, is then not limited to above-mentioned storage
Form.
In addition, panchromatic counter is the quantity incremental when performing panchromatic print processing.That is, panchromatic counter is
Perform the number of pages of panchromatic print processing.In addition, monochromatic counter is the quantity incremental when performing monochromatic print processing.Namely
Say, monochromatic counter is the number of pages for performing monochromatic print processing.
Receiving unit 111, which receives, orders mail.Specifically, the regular visit pop server 500 of receiving unit 111, and obtain
Take the mail for being sent to director's terminal 100.
In the case where the mail received includes ordering mail, acquiring unit 112 accesses http-server 300, and
Obtain counter information corresponding with the running stores that order mail includes.In the case where obtaining counter information, obtain single
Member 112 judges whether received mail is to order mail first.For example, master of the acquiring unit 112 according to the mail received
Whether autograph section includes character string " ordering toner Cartridge (Order Toner Cartridge) " to determine whether being to order postal
Part.When the surplus of the toner of each color tails off, character string " order toner Cartridge " is input to and ordered by MFP/LP 200
In the subject field for purchasing mail.
Then, in the case where the mail received is confirmed as ordering mail, acquiring unit 112 is by ordering mail
It is middle to search for the character string related to running stores to specify the type of running stores.For example, acquiring unit 112 is searched in mail is ordered
The character string of " cyan toner is close to be exhausted ", is " cyan toner " so as to specify the type of running stores.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of the example of the order mail of toner.As shown in figure 5, in the field of " theme ", table is described
Show the character string " order painting box " of the order mail of toner.In addition, " equipment state " field includes, " cyan toner approaches
Exhaust " character string.The character string that acquiring unit 112 is searched for is not limited to above-mentioned.For example, acquiring unit 112 can also search for word
Symbol string " cyan toner is sky ".
In addition, in the case where specifying the running stores reported by order mail, acquiring unit 112 may search for multiple characters
The combination of string.For example, in the case where searching for cyan toner, acquiring unit 112 may search for " cyan " and " toner " two
Individual single contamination.
Then, acquiring unit 112 accesses http-server 300, and from the newest meter being stored in http-server 300
Number device acquisition of information counter information corresponding with the running stores specified.For example, it is " cyan toner " in specified running stores
In the case of, acquiring unit 112 obtains from the most recent count device information being stored in http-server 300 represents cyan toner
The counter information " 19% " of agent surplus.The counter of the memory counter information in http-server 300 will be described later
Information DB data structure.
Identifying unit 113 will enter from the counter information that http-server 300 is got and the threshold value corresponding to running stores
Row compares, to determine to order the validity of mail.Specifically, the slave unit information DB 120 of identifying unit 113 first obtain with
Threshold value corresponding to running stores.It is then determined that the threshold value that gets slave unit information DB 120 of unit 113 with from http-server
300 counter informations obtained are compared, to determine to order the validity of mail.
For example, in the case where receiving the order mail of cyan toner, the slave unit information DB 120 of identifying unit 113 is obtained
Take the threshold value " 20% " of cyan toner.Subsequently, as the surplus of the cyan toner got from http-server 300
" 19% " is less than threshold value " 20% ", it is determined that unit 113 judges that the order mail related to cyan toner is effective.
On the contrary, in the case where receiving the order mail of Yellow toner, the slave unit information DB 120 of determining unit 113
Obtain the threshold value " 20% " of Yellow toner.Subsequently, as the surplus of the Yellow toner got from http-server 300
" 28% " is more than threshold value " 20% ", it is determined that unit 113 judges that the order mail related to Yellow toner is invalid.
Then, it is determined that unit 113 shows the result of determination relevant with the validity for ordering mail on display unit 130.
In the case of judging that order mail is effective, identifying unit 113 can show order bar on display unit 130.
(the first configuration of http-server)
Fig. 6 is the schematic diagram of the first example arrangement of http-server.Http-server 300 includes control unit 310, meter
Number device information DB 320 and network interface 330.In addition, control unit 310 includes receiving unit 311 and input block 312.
Http-server 300 is device of the management from the counter informations received of MFP/LP 200.Network interface 330 is
The interface of control and the communication of other devices.
Counter information DB 320 is to store the meter received from MFP/LP 200 with report date and time correlation connection
The database of number device information.
Fig. 7 is the schematic diagram of counter information DB Example data structure.Counter information DB 320 will report the date and
Time, unit type and counter information are associated each other.Report the date and the time represent by counter information report to
The date and time of http-server 300.Unit type is the number for identifying the equipment of report count device information.Panchromatic meter
Number device is the number of pages that MFP/LP performs panchromatic print processing.That is, when performing panchromatic print processing every time, panchromatic counter
It is incremented by.In addition, monochromatic counter is the number of pages for performing monochromatic print processing.That is, whenever monochromatic print processing is performed,
Monochromatic counter is incremented by.The surplus (%) of black toner is the surplus of the black toner in MFP/LP 200.Cyan
The surplus (%) of toner is the surplus of the cyan toner in MFP/LP 200.The surplus (%) of magenta toner
It is the surplus of the magenta toner in MFP/LP 200.The surplus (%) of Yellow toner is the Huang in MFP/LP 200
The surplus of colour toners.
For example, counter information DB 320 will record " 2,014,/01,/06 12:00 " date and time and unit type
" Z123-456789 ", panchromatic counter " 1567 ", monochromatic counter " 588 ", the surplus (%) " 62 " of black toner, green grass or young crops
The surplus (%) " 19 " of colour toners, the surplus (%) " 55 " of magenta toner, the surplus (%) of Yellow toner
" 28 " are associated, as newest history.
The data structure of facility information DB 120 shown in Fig. 7 is example, and if each project with above-mentioned phase
Same mode is associated, then is not limited to above-mentioned storage format.For example, counter information DB 320 will disappear with multiple in the figure 7
The counter information that consumption condition closes is stored as recording.But the counter information related to running stores can be stored in record.
Receiving unit 311 receives the counter information from MFP/LP 200.For example, counter information includes the report date
To time, unit type and the counter information related to each running stores.Report that date and time can be receiving unit
311 receive the date and time of counter information.
The counter information received from MFP/LP 200 is stored in counter information DB 320 by input block 312.
(receiving to order the first sequential of mail)
Fig. 8 is the first timing diagram for receiving to order the processing of mail.That is in MFP/LP when Fig. 8 shows to receive to order mail
200th, the stream of the communication performed among smtp server 400, pop server 500, http-server 300 and director's terminal 100
Journey.
MFP/LP 200 is to the regular transmitting counter data of http-server (step S10 and step S11).For example, MFP/
The surplus of 200 daily 12 points of toners that each color is sent to http-server of LP.Then, http-server 300 is based on
The counter data received carrys out refresh counter information DB 320.
In the case where running stores meet predetermined condition, MFP/LP 200 is sent to smtp server 400 orders mail (step
Rapid S12).Then, smtp server 400 forwards to pop server 500 and orders mail (step S13).
Director's terminal 100 inspects periodically the mail (step received by pop server 500 by using mail reception function
Rapid S14).For example, director's terminal 100 is per minute to check the mail received by pop server.Received in pop server 500
Mail include be sent to director's terminal 100 order mail when, director's terminal 100 receive the order mail (step
S15)。
In the case where receiving order mail, director's terminal 100 accesses http-server 300 and inquires about running stores
Counter information (step S16).Http-server 300 obtains the counter information of running stores, and sends it to responsible
The counter information of people's terminal 100, wherein running stores is that record corresponding with newest history obtains from counter information DB 320
(the step S17) got.
Director's terminal 100 will be entered from the counter information that http-server 300 is sent and the threshold value corresponding to running stores
Row compares, and thus judges to order the validity (step S18) of mail.In the case of judging that order mail is effective, director is whole
End 100 shows the screen (step S19) accepted an order on display unit 130.
(handling process for judging validity)
Fig. 9 is the flow chart for the example flow for judging validity.Director's terminal 100 is determined by using mail reception function
Phase checks the mail (step S20) received by pop server 500.In the case where the mail for being not sent to director reaches
(step S20:It is no), director's terminal 100 checks again for mail after the scheduled time.On the contrary, it is being sent to the postal of director
(step S20 in the case that part reaches:It is), director's terminal 100 receives the mail (step S21).
Director's terminal 100 is judged in the mail received with the presence or absence of order mail (step S22).For example, it is responsible for
People's terminal 100 is by checking whether the subject field of mail received includes the character string of " order toner Cartridge " to determine to order
Purchase mail.
In the mail received exist order mail in the case of (step S22:It is), director's terminal 100 is from http
The newest history of server 300 obtains the counter information (step S23) of running stores.For example, include " cyan tune ordering mail
Toner is close to exhausting " character string in the case of, counter information DB that director's terminal 100 has from http-server 300
The surplus (%) of cyan toner is obtained in 320 newest history.
The comparison of the threshold value of counter information and running stores of the director's terminal 100 based on running stores judges having for mail
Effect property (step S24).For example, by the surplus " 19% " of the cyan toner obtained is less than the threshold value of cyan toner
" 20% ", so director's terminal 100 judges that order mail is effective.
Judging to order (step S25 in the case that mail is effective mail:It is), director's terminal 100 shows running stores
Ordering information (step S26).For example, the terminal 100 of director shows the order bar of running stores on display unit 130.Phase
Instead, judging to order (step S25 in the case that mail is invalid mail:It is no), director's terminal 100 is on display unit 130
It is invalid mail (step S27) that mail is ordered in display.
As described above, according to the management system 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention, because the use of director's terminal 100 passes through
The counter information that the emergency route different from the path of transmission order instruction is got, to judge the validity of order instruction,
So it is able to confirm that the validity of order instruction.
In the foregoing description, the availability deciding for ordering mail is performed, so as to find by distorting mail or spoofed mail
The unsuitable order instruction carried out.But the present embodiment is not necessarily limited to perform the situation of unsuitable order instruction intentionally.Example
Such as, a certain failure occurs in the equipment (such as MFP/LP) for performing order instruction, and is set by what is broken down
In the case of the standby unsuitable order instruction of execution, or the unsuitable order performed in the user misoperation due to equipment
In the case of instruction, the judgement of the term of validity (appropriateness) according to the present embodiment is performed, thus, it is possible to find unsuitable order
Instruction.
However, in the foregoing description, director's terminal obtains residual quantity of toners from http-server 300, and surplus
Surplus judges that order mail is effective in the case of being less than threshold value, judges that mail is invalid in other cases.However, it can be considered that sentence
Fixed other conditions.It is not to judge that order mail is invalid immediately for example, in the case where surplus is more than or equal to threshold value, and
It is in the case where surplus is more than or equal to threshold value, when reception order mail continues pre-determined number, mail will be ordered for the first time
It is invalid to judge.In addition, pre-determined number can change according to the equipment (such as, MFP/LP) as the transmission source for ordering mail.
Specifically, it is assumed for example that default value is 3 times.When receiving order mail from some single equipment, surplus is more than or equal to threshold value
State be continuously determined as three times it is invalid after, the pre-determined number of the specific individual equipment can be reduced to 2 or 1.According to above-mentioned
Configuration, in the case where failure in due to the maloperation of user, equipment etc. inadvertently performs invalid order instruction, passes through
The invalid convenience that can avoid reducing user of order instruction is judged immediately.In addition, order instruction was once determined as invalid set
It is invalid for that can be judged as from next early stage.Therefore, it is possible to prevent from sending article in response to invalid order.
In addition, in the foregoing description, in the case where ordering mail and being judged as invalid mail, director's terminal shows this
It is invalid mail to order mail.In addition, for example, in the case where ordering mail and being judged as invalid mail, director's terminal can
To store its number, show ordering information, without holding itself out to be invalid mail until number reaches predetermined value, and it first
Invalid mail is held itself out to be during secondary arrival threshold value.In addition, pre-determined number can be by same way as above according to being used as order
