Abstract: The present invention provides a display screen based on a display pattern of an image processing apparatus. Instruction data in which process information representing as a series of processes at least one process performed to document data and UI information for setting execution contents of the processes are described is acquired, and the UI information is extracted. A screen structure is generated on the basis of the UI information, and a screen of screen information obtained by reflecting the setting information on the screen structure is displayed. In this manner, a display screen having versatility and expandability can be provided.

Abstract: A storage medium is readable by a computer. The storage medium stores a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for managing a job log. The function includes: creating a job log after execution of a job; generating a log image from an image handled by the job; and storing the log image in association with the job log.

Abstract: In a case where a service for performing specified processings of document data as one job is processed in a cooperative manner on a network, a service processing state is exhibited in a proper notice form in each job unit and in each processing unit in the job, so that the processing state can be properly recognized from the viewpoint of accounting, security and privacy.

Abstract: A plurality of equipment connected to a network are linked with each other to perform plural processing operations to document data. When, for example, a user defines a desired service linkage job flow by using, for example, a GUI screen displayed on a client terminal, job flow information is transmitted to a script creation server, and a script is created in which processing contents and a storage location of a document as a processing object are defined. The created script can be stored in a storage unit such as, for example, a script management server. When the user selects a desired script among plural scripts stored in the script management server, the selected script is transmitted to a linkage processing server.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display screen depending on a display pattern of an image processing apparatus. On the basis of UI information described in an instruction data, screen information, which can be operationally input and displayed, on a screen for the user is generated, and the display screen is displayed. Parameters and pieces of attribute information held by the parameters are described in the UI information, screen information depending on the attribute information is generated and displayed on a display component. The attribute information includes information representing changeable or unchangeable and an input limit value. For this reason, a display pattern and an operation input pattern of the item information displayed on the display component can be changed.

Abstract: A user defines a job flow of desired service cooperation according to a GUI screen displayed on a client terminal where parallel processing of plural parallel-executable jobs can be set. According to the thus-defined job flow, an instruction data generation server generates instruction data defining the content of processes, a storage location of a document as a subject, and other items. When the user selects desired one of the instruction data, the selected instruction data is sent to a cooperative processing server.
