An information processing apparatus that is capable of managing information about operations preceding start of usage of a function while associating with information about operations performed between the start and end of usage of the function. The information processing apparatus includes an operation panel, a display control unit, and a recording unit. The operation panel has a display function and accepts an operation from a user. The display control unit controls the operation panel so as to display an operation object that causes to execute a predetermined function on a screen of the operation panel. The recording unit records information about events concerning operations performed between start and end of the predetermined function and information about an event preceding the start of the predetermined function into a storage unit while associating them to each other.

A server apparatus collects, from a plurality of information processing apparatuses, time series information indicating a change over time in settings and a state of each information processing apparatus, and error information indicating an error that has occurred in each information processing apparatus, generates learning data including the collected information, and generates a diagnostic model, which is a trained model for a malfunction diagnosis in the information processing apparatus, through learning based on the generated learning data. The information processing apparatus obtains the diagnostic model from the server apparatus, outputs a diagnosis result indicating a likelihood that an error will occur in the information processing apparatus by collecting information necessary for the malfunction diagnosis within the information processing apparatus and executing the malfunction diagnosis using the collected information and the obtained diagnostic model.

An information processing apparatus configured to manage operation log information about an external apparatus and communicate with a communication apparatus communicating with the external apparatus, includes at least one controller configured to acquire the operation log information about the external apparatus and to transmit, upon receiving a notification from the communication apparatus, state information based on the operation log information, to the communication apparatus. The notification indicates a communication error in communication between the external apparatus and the communication apparatus, wherein a message based on the state information is displayed on the communication apparatus.

Communication system and information processing apparatus that manage log information about an external apparatus, and control method therefor

A communication system includes a server that stores setting information notified from a communication apparatus. The communication apparatus is operable in a first mode and a second mode and includes a reception device to receive an instruction, and a controller to, in accordance with a changing instruction regarding a predetermined function received via the reception device when the first mode is set, notify the server of setting information based on the changing instruction and, in accordance with the changing instruction when the second mode is set, not notify the server of the setting information based on the changing instruction. When a switching instruction for switching from the first mode to the second mode is received, the communication apparatus notifies the server of the setting information which corresponds to the changing instruction received before the switching instruction was received and which has not been notified to the server.

An information processing apparatus is configured in the following manner. When a client is connected to a server, the client transmits all of setting information that the client handles as a synchronization target to the server. The server returns an error response to prohibit synchronization in response to transmission of a setting item that the server does not handle as the synchronization target among the setting information transmitted from the client. After that, the client apparatus does not notify the server of a content of an update with respect to the setting information of the setting item to which the error response is returned when the client is connected to the server.
