Provided is a cloud providing a cloud service for displaying content, the cloud including: a first server configured to receive a sharing request for content, from an electronic device; a second server configured to determine whether the content is displayable on a display device connected to the cloud, based on a type of a file format of the content; a third server configured to render the content and generate an image file from the rendered content, when it is determined that the content is not displayable; and a fourth server configured to control display of one of the content and the image file on the display device.

Cloud system and method of displaying, by cloud system, content

A management apparatus and a billing method which calculates a billing charge by using a cumulative output amount for a target billing period. In the management apparatus and billing method a billing charge is calculated by using a cumulative output amount for a target billing period, a cumulative output amount quota having the cumulative output amount for the target billing period, and a quota unit price corresponding to the cumulative output amount quota of at least one image forming apparatus.

Management apparatus and billing method thereof

A method of controlling printing of a server apparatus is provided. The method includes: receiving printing data, receiving error information from at least one image forming apparatus; determining an error state level corresponding to the error information among a plurality of error state levels; and when the determined error state level is an allowed level to print, transmitting the printing data to the image forming apparatus and deleting the stored printing data, and when the error state level is a disallowed level, not transmitting the printing data.

Image forming apparatus, server apparatus, and method of controlling printing of server apparatus

A method of charging for printing including setting a basic charge in the image forming apparatuses, receiving information about a recording agent installed in the image forming apparatus at predetermined intervals, determining whether or not the recording agent of the image forming apparatuses is replaced, based on the received information about the recording agent, counting a number of times the recording agent of the image forming apparatuses is replaced in a charging period, based on the determination as to whether or not the recording agent is replaced, and calculating a printing cost for the image forming apparatuses, using the counted number of times the recording agent is replaced and the basic charge as set.

Management server and method of charging for printing

A method of managing errors of at least one image forming apparatus, the method involving collecting information regarding the errors disrupting normal operation of the at least one image forming apparatus, analyzing the severity of each of the errors based on the collected information, and outputting a severity analysis result for each of the errors.

Systems and methods of managing errors of an image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus management server, a Service Continuity Score (SCS) calculating method of the management server, and an image forming apparatus management system. A setup manager sets a priority with respect to items required to calculate an SCS indicative of a normal operation time of an image forming apparatus, an incident manager registers and manages an incident related to the image forming apparatus, and an SCS manager calculates the SCS using the registered incident and the priority set for the items.
