Application: Recording device, recording system and control method therefor (Patent ID: US20230367523A1)
The patent filed by Brother Industries Ltd. describes a recording device that performs an initial introduction process to enable recording operations by a recording unit, determines if the introduction process is completed normally, and shifts the device to a state where recording operations are permitted within a specific number of recordings. The device includes a controller, a communication interface for interacting with a server, and a memory for storing recording permission information. The system also involves a server that communicates with the recording device, allowing for the transmission of results and determination of completion based on various factors such as communication settings, consumed coloring agent amount, image data analysis, and identification information data.
Overall, the patent outlines a method for controlling a recording system that includes a recording device and a server, where the recording device can transition from an initial state to a state where recording operations are permitted based on the completion of an initial introduction process. The system involves communication between the recording device and the server, with various processes such as transmitting results, determining completion based on different criteria, and storing and transmitting identification information. Additionally, the device can interact with external storage media, perform communication setting determining processes, and provide access destination notifications through a communication interface. The patent emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the initial introduction process is completed normally before enabling recording operations within a specified limit.
