Abstract:
The management server includes an overload detecting unit that detects whether or not the management server is overloaded, a priority deciding unit that, if the management server is overloaded, searches the image forming apparatus database for the serial number in the processing request received by the request receiving unit, obtains the information of the image forming apparatus that sends the processing request, and decides a priority of processing the processing request on a basis of the obtained information, a request processing unit that processes the processing request, the priority deciding unit having decided that the processing request has a high priority, and a delay-request requiring unit that sends a delay-request requirement to the image forming apparatus that sent the processing request, the priority deciding unit having decided that the processing request has a low priority, the delay-request requirement requiring to resend the processing request after a specified time.

Claim (Index 5):
An information processing method executed by an information processing system including a management server, and at least one image forming apparatus connected to the management server via a network, the information processing method comprising:\n by a memory device of the management server, storing an image forming apparatus database, the image forming apparatus database storing information of each of the at least one image forming apparatus in relation with a serial number of each of the at least one image forming apparatus, the serial number being a key; by an update requesting unit of each of the at least one image forming apparatus, requesting, as a processing request, the management server to update the information of the image forming apparatus; by a request receiving unit of the management server, receiving a processing request from each of the at least one image forming apparatus; by an overload detecting unit of the management server, detecting whether or not the management server is overloaded; by a priority deciding unit of the management server, if the management server is overloaded,\n searching the image forming apparatus database for the serial number in the processing request received by the request receiving unit, \n obtaining the information of the image forming apparatus that sends the processing request, and \n deciding a priority of processing the processing request on a basis of the obtained information; \n by a request processing unit of the management server, processing the processing request, the priority deciding unit having decided that the processing request has a high priority; by a delay-request requiring unit of the management server, sending a delay-request requirement to the image forming apparatus that sent the processing request, the priority deciding unit having decided that the processing request has a low priority, the delay-request requirement requiring to resend the processing request after a specified time; and by an update requesting unit of the image forming apparatus, receiving the delay-request requirement from the management server, standing by for the specified time, and then resending the processing request.
