    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that efficiently executes a series of tasks related to reading a document. An information processing system includes an upstream server, image forming apparatuses and a regional server. An apparatus-information-acquiring unit of the upstream server acquires apparatus information from plural image forming apparatuses. A task-sharing unit shares the respective tasks of a series of tasks for document data that is read by a specified image forming apparatus, based on a storage unit that is an apparatus-information-storage unit that stores an ID, position information that indicates a position in a network, and performance information for that image forming apparatuses that is included in the apparatus information. The task-sharing unit, in accordance with the ID and performance information of plural image forming apparatuses, determines and shares tasks so as to be executed by image forming apparatuses that are at nearby positions in the network.

    Abstract: Provides is an information processing apparatus that is capable of efficiently executing a series of tasks related to reading a document. In the information processing system according to the present disclosure a document reading apparatus includes a performance-information-transmitting unit that transmits performance information in accordance with a request from the information processing apparatus. An information processing apparatus includes a performance-information-acquiring unit, a task-sharing unit, and a task-execution-control unit. The performance-information-acquiring unit acquires performance information of the document reading apparatus. The task-sharing unit, in accordance with the performance information that is acquired by the performance-information-acquiring unit, determines which tasks of a series of tasks for data of a document that is read by the document reading apparatus will be executed by an own apparatus and by the document reading apparatus, and shares the tasks. The task-execution-control unit causes tasks that are determined by the task-sharing unit to be tasks that will be executed by the own apparatus to be executed by the own apparatus, and causes tasks that are determined to be tasks that will be executed by the document reading apparatus to be executed by the document reading apparatus, and processes the tasks as a series of tasks.
