In the proposal system, sales performance information that is related to a device is acquired and information that is related to a usage situation of a device is accepted from a customer. A device to be a purchase target is inferred by a learned model based on the information that is related to the usage situation of the device and the sales performance information, and then a proposal information is outputted as a result of that inference.

Proposal system, method, and computer-readable storage medium for storing program

An electronic album generating apparatus includes an accepting unit configured to accept order information of an electronic album from a user, a specifying unit configured to specify a theme of the electronic album; a selecting unit configured to select, from a plurality of learned models generated by machine learning based on a past order of the user from whom the order information was accepted, a learned model to be used to generate the electronic album a generating unit configured to generate an electronic album based on the order information and the learned model selected by the selecting unit. In a case in which the learned model generated by machine learning based on the past order of the user has not learned the theme specified by the specifying unit, the selecting unit selects another learned model which has learned the theme.

Electronic album generating apparatus, electronic album generating method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

To provide a liquid storage container equipped with a plug member that can prevent leakage of a liquid from the liquid storage container and can be opened without causing scatter of the liquid, and a liquid ejection apparatus equipped with the liquid storage container. For the purpose, at least one of a connection part of the convex part with the cover part and an apical part of the convex part most apart from the connection part is provided offset from the centroid of the cover part, seen from a direction orthogonal to an opening surface of a supply port in a state that the plug member is mounted on a supply port of the liquid storage container.

Liquid storage container and liquid ejection apparatus

A liquid container unit includes: a liquid container including: a plurality of liquid storage portions; and a plurality of injection ports which are provided to the respective plurality of liquid storage portions, and are configured to enable injection of liquid into the plurality of liquid storage portions; and an injection port cover which is provided to the liquid container so as to be rotatable and is configured to cover the plurality of injection ports so as to be openable and closable, the injection port cover including a plurality of stopper members configured to close the plurality of injection ports when the injection port cover is closed.

Liquid container unit and recording apparatus

There are provided a liquid container including a plug member which prevents leakage of a liquid from the liquid container and can be opened without scattering the liquid and a liquid ejection apparatus including the liquid container. For that purpose, a projecting portion in the plug member is provided below a center part of the plug member in a gravity direction in an attitude at the time of use of the liquid ejection apparatus.

Liquid container and liquid ejection apparatus

A liquid supplying mechanism includes: a tank including a liquid storage section configured to store a liquid, and a liquid injection port configured to inject the liquid into the liquid storage section; and a bottle configured to replenish the liquid into the tank. The bottle includes: a bottle section configured to store the liquid; and a protruding section, which protrudes from the bottle section, and is insertable into the liquid injection port so as to inject, into the liquid storage section, the liquid stored in the bottle section. The liquid injection port includes: a protruding section insertion portion into which the protruding section of the bottle is insertable; and a protruding section fixing portion, which is engageable with the protruding section of the bottle, to thereby be capable of fixing the bottle to the tank.

Liquid supplying mechanism, and liquid ejection apparatus

An object is to provide a liquid ejecting apparatus that enables a liquid storage container to be properly and easily refilled with a liquid from a liquid refilling container without causing color mixture in the liquid storage container. The liquid ejecting apparatus includes liquid storage containers each configured to feed the liquid to a liquid ejecting portion and liquid refilling containers each configured to refill the liquid storage container with the liquid. A first fitting unit is provided around a liquid injection port in each of the liquid storage containers. A second fitting unit is provided around a liquid pour-out port in each of the liquid refilling containers. The second fitting unit is fitted to the first fitting unit to enable the liquid to be delivered from the liquid pour-out port to the liquid injection port.

Liquid ejecting apparatus and liquid refilling container

A notification device can suppress the occurrence of a user's mistake in supplementing a printing liquid. An acquisition unit that acquires information relating to a residual amount of each of a plurality of printing liquids supplied to a printing apparatus and a determination unit that determines whether or not each of the plurality of printing liquids is a printing liquid of a notification target of which a residual amount is a predetermined amount or less based on the acquired information are included. In addition, a notification unit that, in a case where a plurality of printing liquids of the notification target determined by the determination unit are present, notifies of information relating to the residual amount of a predetermined printing liquid is included. This notification unit performs a notification with priority for a predetermined printing liquid satisfying a predetermined condition among the plurality of printing liquids of the notification target.

Notification device, notification method, and printing apparatus

A liquid storage container unit according to the present invention includes: a liquid storage container provided with an opening; a plug which is attachable to and detachable from the opening and provided with a front edge to be inserted in the opening; and a support member which connects the plug and a member other than the plug and supports the plug, wherein the support member is molded into a shape with a curved portion and the front edge of the plug comes closer to the inner side surface of the curved portion of the support member in a state in which the plug is removed from the opening than in a state in which the plug is attached to the opening.
