  • Publication number: 20090207460
    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.

  • Patent number: 7522296
    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.

  • Patent number: 7496233
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080055633
    Abstract: A computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for creating a job. The process includes: accepting document data created by application software; converting the document data into image processing data in a format which is interpretable when image processing is executed for the document data; determining as to whether or not at least one of the document data and the image processing data contains predetermined information; and when it is determined that the at least one of the document data and the image processing data contains the predetermined information, outputting a job indicating (i) executing the image processing for the image processing data and (ii) creating an image of an execution history of the image processing.

  • Patent number: 7307744
    Abstract: An image-processing device creates a sequential print-processing schedule for inputted print jobs on the basis of supply conditions of required resources, such as printing media and the like, and of attribute information of the print jobs. Before execution of a print job, the image-processing device acquires attribute information for the leading job in a print-waiting queue, and determines whether or not resources requested for that print job are supplied. If not, execution of that printing job is inhibited, and the next print job in line is performed. Thus, productivity of the device can be improved. However, it is also determined whether or not the print job meets a predetermined condition. If so, other jobs are blocked from overtaking the inhibited job and being performed first. The inhibited job waits until resources are supplied, and thus re-prioritization of the print jobs against the will of a user is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20050206952
    Abstract: An image processing device for executing flow processing on the basis of linking information which represents a series of flow processing relating to document data and an external processing execution request transmission process are linked, the external processing execution request transmission process transmitting an execution request for external processing which relates to document data and is executed outside the image processing device, the device includes: a receiving section which receives at least one of image display data and an image display program, which are transmitted from an external device and reflecting a result of execution of the external processing, the external device executing the external processing in accordance with the external processing execution request; and a display section which displays an image based on the at least one of image display data and an image display program received by the receiving section.
