The general structure of network system
Fig. 2 is the block diagram that the topology example of the network system that comprises printing equipment shown in Figure 1 is shown.Carry one in passing,, suppose to be based on for example network of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)) for this network system.
In Fig. 2, the printing equipment that Reference numeral 21 expression is shown in Figure 1, regularly or aperiodically for example counter information or error message send to master server device 27 to this printing equipment with device information by the Internet 25.
By in-house network LAN17, personal computer (PC) 22 can be communicated by letter with printing equipment 21, by print job being sent to printing equipment 21, can realize network printing.During being connected to the Internet 25, gateway apparatus 23 and 26 is as fire wall.
The printing equipment 28 that is connected to in-house network LAN29 has the configuration identical with printing equipment shown in Figure 1 21, and except being used for network printing, this printing equipment 28 also sends to device information master server device 27.Master server device 27 is connected to in-house network LAN29.
Carry one in passing, the quantity of PC or printing equipment can be different with quantity shown in Figure 2.
Operating process according to the printing equipment of the embodiment of the invention
Fig. 7 is the block diagram that the software module of the printing equipment 21 that can communicate with the external system of master server device 27 sides is shown.In Fig. 7, Reference numeral 701～709 is corresponding to the software module of printing equipment 21 sides.
The Status Flag of the step S66 reference in Fig. 3 is stored in the Nonvolatile memory devices 706.When device was switched on after outage, manager 704 was checked this Status Flag (history) by logic 705.
When Status Flag is " 1 " (step S 66 for "Yes"), manager 704 will be tabulated corresponding to the fix information of the unique identifier of device itself with as the error message of variable information and be sent to SOAP functional module 707.
In this case, fix information comprise for example embed client mode (schema) information (for example, the version of client computer ID or application program) and the information of flush mounting pattern (for example, IP address, MAC Address, device sequence number, name of product and product type), shown in the Reference numeral among the Reference numeral among Fig. 4 401 and Fig. 5 501.
SOAP functional module 707 request HTTP/SOAP client module 708 are created SGML explanation (markup language description) based on the content that receives from manager 704 (fix information and variable information), and the SGML explanation of being created is sent to specified server.The information of relevant specified server can be preserved by HTTP/SOAP client module 708 in advance, perhaps is included in the fix information.
When SOAP functional module 707 receives variable information and fix information, HTTP/SOAP client module 708 is created based on the SGML explanation of client mode with based on the SGML explanation of device pattern, for example, shown in the Reference numeral among Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 401 and 501, and create SGML explanation based on alarm mode (error listing), for example, shown in the Reference numeral among Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 402,403 and 502.
In this case, suppose that the pattern corresponding to each variable information or fix information is stored in HTTP/SOAP client module 708 addressable storage areas in advance.
Then, HTTP/SOAP client module 708 sends to specified server with the SGML explanation data of being created.SGML can be XML (eXtensible Markup Language, extend markup language) for example.
Now, will describe the situation of Status Flag in detail for " 1 ".
When the Status Flag in being stored in Nonvolatile memory devices 706 was " 1 ", manager 704 sent to device interface 701 with the query requests relevant with the state of printer 16.
Generate this status query request, whether mistake has taken place again to judge.Device interface 701 can be configured to response request and passes through the various states of sensor, thereby replys, and perhaps is configured to response detected various states in advance.
Response according to device interface 701, when finding to have taken place any type wrong, manager 704 be used to the encode code value and the major state value of value of the type discerned is set to variable information, with the above-mentioned information setting relevant with device itself is fix information, and gives SOAP functional module 707 (can also be designed to make HTTP/S OAP client module 708 itself to obtain variable information and fix information from SOAP functional module 707) with these information.The value of variable information and fix information can be appointed as the content of this value representative, send it to SOAP functional module 707 then.
On the other hand, when not finding to make a mistake according to the response of device interface 701, manager 704 is provided with variable information, so that its reflection does not have mistake (code value and major state value are " 0 "), with the above-mentioned information setting relevant with device itself is fix information, and gives SOAP functional module 707 with these information.Equally, the value of variable information and fix information can be appointed as the content of this value representative, send it to SOAP functional module 707 then.
SOAP functional module 707 request HTTP/SOAP client module 708 are created SGML explanation based on pattern according to the fix information that receives from manager 704 and variable information (comprising that " 0 " is as code value and major state value), and the SGML explanation of being created is sent to specified server.Equally, the value of variable information and fix information can be appointed as the content of this value representative, send it to HTTP/SOAP client module 708 then.
When receiving request, the content of HTTP/SOAP client module 708 decision content representatives reads corresponding to pattern, and according to pattern that is read and the value that is transmitted, creates the SGML explanation based on pattern, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
By top processing, HTTP/SOAP client module 708 is created the SGML explanation according to the fix information of being asked and variable information and corresponding pattern.Therefore, do not create identifier and the type SGML explanation of nonevent pattern still that fault type is arranged based on embedding, and create the SGML explanation that the identifier of fault type and the pattern that the type has been identified are arranged based on embedding.
In addition, when starting when reading state sign (history) and unidentified generation to fault, can also the pattern of the identifier that expression do not break down be arranged and create the SGML explanation based on embedding.
Simultaneously, in main frame (external system 710 among Fig. 7) side,, the transformation (transition) of fault is managed according to the analysis of the SGML explanation that HTTP/SOAP client module 708 is notified by gateway.Especially, as shown in Figure 5, when identifying the identifier that expression do not break down by analysis,, can discern the recovery of fault for the fault that has managed as the fault that is taken place.
Or rather, when receiving the explanation of Fig. 4 and SGML shown in Figure 5, bring in constant renewal in the error condition of each device and every type.Store the error condition of upgrading into storage area.
Then, when the identifier (value of code and major state) corresponding to the fault type that is taken place before upgrading is not included in the SGML explanation that receives, and therefore and when unconfirmed, with this fault type recognition for restoring.Especially, as shown in Figure 5, when receiving SGML explanation data, for example whole mistakes of storage all are considered to restore in the past, and the host computer side device information will be updated to has normal condition.Therefore, can avoid the waste that causes because the fault that takes place not restore sends attendant to wait.
Carry one in passing, although top explanation is a SOAP functional module 707 various information are notified to HTTP/SOAP client module 708, can dispose this HTTP/SOAP client module 708, so that it initiatively obtains said fixing information and variable information from SOAP functional module 707.
The operation of the printing equipment shown in Figure 1 21 in the said structure is described with reference to figure 3 now.
Carry one in passing, Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram that illustrates according to the operation of the printing equipment 21 of the embodiment of the invention.
At first, at step S61, whether the state that CPU11 detects printer 16 variation has taken place.As long as can discern the state of printer, detection method can be an any means, for example, detects the method for the value of each sensor, perhaps discerns the not method of response.
Variation has taken place in the state on printer 16, and the service call mistake has taken place (for example, the type of error that requires the attendant to keep in repair, for example Hard disk error or paying counters error) time, bag shown in Figure 4 (T1) below utilizing sends to master server device 27 with the service call error message.The response T2 about this notice that master server device 27 sends is following respond packet shown in Figure 6.In this case, this response is＜result〉OK＜/result 〉, expression has successfully received the service call error message.
In addition, when having restored the service call mistake, the bag shown in Figure 5 below utilizing sends to master server device 27 with normal return message.
At next procedure S62, judge that the current state of printer 16 is in service call mistake generation state or is in normal condition.By this judgement, if printer 16 is in service call mistake generation state, then routine (routine) enters step S63; Otherwise routine enters step S64.Simultaneously, at step S62, be not the service call mistake mistake for example door open also and can be judged as "Yes".
At step S63, will be worth the Status Flag memory block that " 1 " writes standby RAM 12a, routine is returned step S61.On the other hand, at step S64, will be worth the Status Flag memory block that " 0 " writes standby RAM 12a, routine is returned step S61.
Step S65 cuts off the power supply/state after the power-on servicing as the user.At step S65, printer 21 is carried out initialization process.In this case, the such processing of " initialization process " expression: storer is carried out initialization, read various control programs from Nonvolatile memory devices, simultaneously, with reference to the switch of whether need pointing out to start (switch), and when starting the URL of referential expression master server device 27 or scheduling (schedule) information of the transmission intercal between port and the master server device 27.
Step S66 below, reference is as the Status Flag of historical storage in standby RAM 12a, if this Status Flag is " 1 ", then routine enters step S67; If " 0 " then stops this processing.The nearest state of printing equipment was the state that service call mistake (or other mistake) takes place when in other words, the one state sign was represented last the startup.When satisfying certain predetermined condition when the processing at this process flow diagram finishes, printer 16 is to its state of external notification.About this predetermined condition, can suppose various conditions, for example, the history accumulation that arrives state notifying situation, various state or particular state constantly according to the inner timer of device acquires a certain degree or the situation of quantity, taken place to require emergency notice state situation or receive the situation of state request from master server device 27 or other external device (ED).
At step S67, judge the current service call mistake (perhaps other mistake) that whether taking place.In other words, judge the service call mistake (perhaps other mistake) that when current the startup, is still taking place.If the current service call mistake (perhaps other mistake) that taking place, then routine enters step S68; Otherwise routine enters step S69.
At step S68, carry out by the represented service call error notification (T3) of bag shown in Figure 4, thereby finish this processing.
On the other hand, at step S69, will send to master server device 27 by the represented notice (T4) of normally returning of bag shown in Figure 5, thereby finish this processing.For example, although the nearest state of printing equipment 21 is states that the service call mistake takes place during last the startup, owing to restored this service call mistake when current restarting, reset condition is notified to master server device 27.
Then, as response (T5), return respond packet shown in Figure 6 to normally returning notice.Equally, this response is＜result〉OK＜/result 〉.
In addition, in response to receiving and discern respond packet shown in Figure 6, printing equipment 21 is removed the Status Flag of institute's reference in the step S66 of Fig. 3.By doing like this,, can obtain the "No" result when when step S66 checks again.When after outage when switching on, what unnecessary step S69 was forbidden in this removing processing normally returns notice, thereby suppresses the increase of unnecessary communication.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, when each state changes (step S63 and S64), the nearest state (step S61 and S62) of the service call mistake (or other mistake) that will take place at printer 16 stores standby RAM 12a into, when the user carries out outage/power-on servicing and restarts printing equipment (step S65), if the nearest state during last the startup is the service call mistake to take place or other wrong state (step S66) takes place, then send the current state (step S68 and S69) of printer 16.
This makes when having restored by outage/power-on servicing of user when wrong, and master server device 27 sides can be known and restored the service call mistake.
Specifically, although at every turn owing to user's master server device 27 that cuts off the power supply/when printing equipment is restarted in power-on servicing current state sent to can cause the increase of communicating by letter, but present embodiment provides step S66, in step S66, only the nearest state when last the startup is when certain wrong state (service call error condition) has taken place, just send current state, therefore, can be expeditiously the recovery of service call mistake be notified to master server device 27, and increase the traffic.
Carry one in passing, although top explanation requires the error notification conduct in step S68 to send to the notice of master server device 27 after restarting owing to outage/power-on servicing, but this notice only is confined to normally return notice in step S69, and the not error notification of execution in step S68.Can further suppress the traffic like this.
In addition, in the superincumbent explanation, although be confined to the service call mistake as the mistake on the printer 16 of device, for example Hard disk error or paying counters error can be applied to for example mistake of paperboard, or the mistake of warning such as toner deficiency for example.
Now, explanation is used to the bag data notified in the present embodiment.
The example of the bag data of error notification
Fig. 4 is the view of example that the bag data of the SGML that is sent according to present embodiment (T1 among Fig. 3 and T3) when the error notification are shown.The bag data description is based on pattern.The bag data are to adopt the example of the bag data of SOAP (Simple ObjectAccess Protocol, Simple Object Access Protocol) on HTTP, send to master server device 27 from printing equipment 21, with notification error (being called em_postAlert).
These data are write with XML (extend markup language) form.Obviously, the form of Shi Yonging is not limited to XML.For example, can use HTML (HyperTextMarkup Language, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)).The postAlert bag is when making a mistake on printer 16, and with the order of error message notification to master server device 27, this order contains: the information in bag source for example shown in Figure 4, and it represents fix information; Client information (＜client〉mark), its expression is as the device in wrong source; Perhaps warning message tabulation (＜alertlist〉mark), it represents variable information.＜client〉mark comprises:＜id 〉, be used to discern client computer;＜type 〉, be used to discern the type of client computer; And＜appVersion 〉, be used for the version of recognition application.In addition, alertList comprises:＜device〉tabulation, be used for recognition device;＜alert〉tabulation; And counter information＜counterList 〉.
In addition, as fix information＜device in, explanation:＜mac respectively 〉, be used to discern back 4 bytes as the MAC Address of the destination of bag;＜ip 〉, be used to discern the IP address; Sequence number＜serialNumber 〉; Name of product＜productName〉and type＜type.Simultaneously, at＜alert〉in, explanation: error code＜code respectively 〉, its main portion＜majorstatus, the wrong text message＜opmessage of expression and timestamp information＜timestamp.
＜counterList〉in, explanation respectively: service mode numbering＜id 〉; And＜value 〉, it is by the specified count value of service mode numbering.
Carry one in passing, in the above-mentioned explanation of Fig. 4, " client computer " is meant for example device of printer etc.
Normally return the example of the bag data of notice
Fig. 5 is the view that illustrates according to the example of the present embodiment bag data that (T4 among Fig. 3) sends when notification error normally returns.Identical with the mode of Fig. 4, the explanation of these bag data is also based on pattern.The bag data are to adopt the example of the bag data of SOAP on HTTP, send to master server device 27 from printing equipment 21, return (being called em_postAlert) to notify normally.
Although use the pattern identical with bag data shown in Figure 4, but＜alert〉in, with error code＜code〉and main portion＜majorstatus be set to " 0 ", and will represent wrong text message＜opmessage〉be set to " NULL (sky) ".By being arranged in such a way＜alert 〉, this bag expression mistake is restored.
In addition, because by being included in shown in Figure 4＜device respectively〉following content in the mark, promptly be used to discern as back 4 bytes of the MAC Address of the destination of bag＜mac, be used to discern the IP address＜ip and sequence number＜serialNumber, can specified device, the device that therefore can specify error have been restored.
And, although em_postAlert is used as the pattern of the recovery of notification error, also can use other SOAP function to replace.
By this way, owing to can use the alarm mode identical (＜alert 〉) to carry out notice shown in Figure 5, that normally return from mistake with Fig. 4, so can simplify Notification Format.Therefore, can more effectively handle in notification received master server device 27 sides.
For example, alarm mode can be independent of and the pattern of the notice that is provided for representing normally returning from mistake.Yet as preferred embodiment, present embodiment requires at first to analyze alarm mode 502 in master server device 27 sides, will with 402 identical＜majorstatus among Fig. 4 the illustrated value of pattern is identified as " 0 ", thereby judges the recovery of service call mistake.Therefore, the mode decision that can alleviate master server device 27 sides is handled.
The example of response notice
Fig. 6 illustrates according to present embodiment to respond error notification (Fig. 4) and normally return notice (Fig. 5), and writes the view of this response based on pattern according to the mode identical with Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
These data in the present embodiment, send/receive these data by use SOAP on HTTP also in the mode identical with bag data among Fig. 5, write with the XML form.In the em_postAlert respond packet, response em_postAlert order is with structural information＜result〉be set to " OK " or " NG ", return then.
