Patent ID: 10943159

Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a controller circuit configured to determine a feed-time-period, calculate a variation-value for each variation-calculation-span, detect that a successive-occurrence-number reaches a successive-occurrence-reference-number, determine a number-of-fed-media-at-wear-detected-time, divide the number-of-fed-media-at-wear-detected-time by a number-of-total-operation-days to calculate an average-number-of-fed-media-per-day, and divide an allowed-number-of-media-to-be-fed-after-wear-detection by the average-number-of-fed-media-per-day to calculate a predicted-number-of-days, the allowed-number-of-media-to-be-fed-after-wear-detection being a number of feedable media from the point at which the successive-occurrence-number reaches the successive-occurrence-reference-number to a point at which a part is replaced, the predicted-number-of-days being a number of days in which the allowed-number-of-media-to-be-fed-after-wear-detection is to be consumed starting from a day on which the successive-occurrence-number reaches the successive-occurrence-reference-number.
