Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus include a processor configured to: obtain a type of use, a tendency of use, or a use condition of the image forming apparatus by a user; and transmit a log regarding use of the image forming apparatus by the user with the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition being distinguishable.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An image forming apparatus comprising: a processor configured to: obtain a type of use, a tendency of use, or a use condition of the image forming apparatus by a user; and transmit a log regarding use of the image forming apparatus by the user with the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition being distinguishable. 2 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit the log to a predetermined destination in accordance with the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition. 3 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to transmit the log with additional information indicating the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition attached. 4 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the type of use from setting information set by the user for the image forming apparatus. 5 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the type of use from setting information set by the user for the image forming apparatus. 6 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the type of use from setting information set by the user for the image forming apparatus. 7 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from a use history of the image forming apparatus by the user. 8 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from a use history of the image forming apparatus by the user. 9 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from a use history of the image forming apparatus by the user. 10 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from the use history each time a number of times of use of the image forming apparatus reaches a certain value. 11 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from the use history each time a number of times of use of the image forming apparatus reaches a certain value. 12 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the tendency of use from the use history each time a number of times of use of the image forming apparatus reaches a certain value. 13 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image formation, the process comprising: obtaining a type of use, a tendency of use, or a use condition of the image forming apparatus by a user; and transmitting a log regarding use of the image forming apparatus by the user with the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition being distinguishable. 14 . An image forming method comprising: obtaining a type of use, a tendency of use, or a use condition of the image forming apparatus by a user; and transmitting a log regarding use of the image forming apparatus by the user with the obtained type of use, the obtained tendency of use, or the obtained use condition being distinguishable.
