Application: Data processing system and a method for providing status information of the data processing system (Patent ID: US20240086294A1)

The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a method for graphically displaying the status information of a data processing system using a donut chart. The chart includes an inner hole region linked to a specific system status and outer segments representing other system statuses, with the size of each area proportional to the amount of time each status occurred during a monitoring period. The method involves monitoring the system, selecting a particular status, creating the chart, and displaying the statuses based on their occurrence time.

Additionally, the patent includes claims detailing steps for monitoring online and offline system statuses, displaying advice based on monitored time thresholds, using different colors for segments and legends for clarity, and providing numerical indications for each status. The patent also covers the implementation of the method in a data processing system, specifically in a printing system, through an electronic controller or software medium. Overall, the patent aims to offer an efficient and visually intuitive way to represent system statuses and provide valuable insights to operators based on monitoring data.
