Embodiment Construction

[0011] Next, an information management system, an information management method, and a cartridge according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 It is a figure which shows the structural example of the information management system 1 of embodiment. The information management system 1 includes one or more image forming apparatuses 100 and a management server 300 . The image forming apparatus 100 is an apparatus that forms an image on a sheet using consumables. The image forming apparatus 100 is, for example, a multifunction peripheral. The management server 300 is an information processing device that stores information on consumables used in each image forming apparatus 100 . Image forming apparatus 100 and management server 300 are communicably connected to each other via network 400 . Next, each device will be described in detail.

Abstract

The present invention provides an Information management system, information management method, and cartridge. According to one embodiment, the information management system includes a storage deviceand a control unit. The storage device is provided in a management server communicatively connected to an image forming apparatus to which a cartridge having a consumable item is detachably attached,via a network, and stores information on the consumable item or the cartridge. The control unit limits a predetermined function related to image formation of the image forming apparatus when, based onidentification information indicating the cartridge stored in a cartridge storage device provided in the cartridge attached to the image forming apparatus, information on the consumable item or the cartridge is acquired from the storage device, and the acquired information satisfies a predetermined condition indicating that the cartridge is not a genuine cartridge.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information management system, an information management method and a box. Background technique [0002] In recent years, control related to consumables has been performed in image forming apparatuses. For example, a radio frequency identification (RFID, Radio Frequency Identification) is given to a cartridge containing a developer such as toner which is a consumable. In addition, in RFID, control related to the developer is performed by recording information related to the developer. However, there are cases where the information on the developer is recorded on the RFID cartridge by fraudulent means and distributed. In the conventional system, such an abnormal cartridge cannot be detected, and the developer-related control cannot be performed satisfactorily in some cases. Contents of the invention [0003] An information management system according to an embodiment includes a storage device and a control unit. ...
