Patent ID: 8122296

Claim:
An information processing apparatus configured to calculate an operation rate of an image forming apparatus by using a specified period in which the image forming apparatus is operating and a sum of job execution times of a plurality of jobs executed in the specified period, the information processing apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire job log information and error log information from the image forming apparatus; an identification unit configured to identify a job processing time from a job start time and a job end time of each job recorded in the job log information which is acquired by the acquisition unit and identify a job suspension time of each job from an occurrence time and a recovery time of an error of each log recorded in the error log information; a calculation unit configured to calculate the job execution time based on the job processing time and the job suspension time which are identified by the identification unit; and a summing unit configured to sum up the job execution times calculated by the calculation unit, wherein the information processing apparatus can simultaneously execute the plurality of jobs, and wherein when a plurality of jobs whose periods from a job start time to a job end time recorded in the job log information are overlapping are detected, the summing unit refers to the job start times and the job end times in the job log information corresponding to the plurality of jobs, and an occurrence time and a recovery time of an error that occur during execution of the plurality of jobs which are detected based on the error log information and, when the plurality of jobs are executed in an overlapping manner, the summing unit calculates the operation rate of the image forming apparatus by using a time which is calculated by subtracting the overlapping job execution time from the sum of the job execution times of the plurality of jobs summed up by the summing unit and using the specified period in which the image forming apparatus is operating.
