Application: Data processing method for managing first image processing device and second image processing device using server (Patent ID: US20230385004A1)
The patent filed by Brother Industries Ltd. describes a data processing method for managing first and second image processing devices using a server. The method involves receiving a request to replace the first image processing device, acquiring data from the first device, storing the acquired data, and communicating with the second device.

The method ensures seamless transition and transfer of settings information between the devices.
Additionally, the patent includes claims detailing specific steps and conditions for implementing the data processing method. These claims cover aspects such as acquiring data when a function is deactivated, storing job information, managing user identification information, receiving completion notifications, and issuing return notifications. The method also involves querying the server for data acquisition, determining data applicability, and sending instructions for function deactivation. The patent aims to streamline the replacement process for image processing devices while maintaining data integrity and user convenience.
