  • System for job control of a document processing system and method for job control of document processing process
    Patent number: 7589851
    Abstract: A job control system for a document processing system wherein a number of tasks is performed in a workflow includes a user interface to define or change parameters. The job control system includes an identifier to identify and mark dependencies of one or more intermediate and/or final results to parameters. This enables a verifier, also part of the job control system, to verify, during execution of the job, a change in parameter and to determine whether or not an intermediate and/or final result obtained before the change in parameter is still useable despite the occurred change in parameter. The job control system furthermore includes a memory for storing the usable intermediate and/or final results. This enables, in case a parameter is changed, to use those results that are still useable, thus saving time.
