A device management system includes a device mapping unit configured to hold, in association with each piece of device management identification information indicating identification information for managing corresponding one of a plurality of devices, a device state indicating an installation state or an operating state of the device, device-specific identification information identifying the device, and installation planned device-specific identification information identifying a device that is planned to be replaced with the former device; and an update unit configured to, in response to receiving an installation request for a device, which includes device-specific identification information, replace device-specific identification information associated with device management identification information associated with installation planned device-specific identification information identical to the device-specific identification information included in the installation request, with the installation planned device-specific identification information.

Device management system, device management method, and server apparatus

A data processing apparatus includes a request receiving unit that receives a request from a program that causes a device to perform a predetermined process; an emulating unit that emulates a process performed by the device in accordance with the request; an instruction receiving unit that receives an instruction to change a status of the emulating unit from a user; a status changing unit that causes the emulating unit to change the status in accordance with the instruction to change the status; and a storing processing unit that stores, in response to generation of the request or generation of the instruction to change, information indicating the request or information indicating the instruction to change in a first storing unit, wherein the emulating unit emulates the process performed by the device under a status changed by the status changing unit.

Data processing apparatus and data processing method

A device includes an operation unit; a first processing unit sending a display request; a detection unit detecting a change of an authentication state of a user; a first communication unit receiving the display request, designating identification information identifying the configuration element, and transmitting the display request or transmitting notification information indicating the change of the authentication state to the operation unit. Further, the operation unit includes a second communication unit receiving the display request or the notification information, and a second processing unit displaying the configuration element in a form that is different from a form designated in the display request received by the first communication unit, or changing a display manner of the configuration element in accordance with the notification information.
