摘要:
According to the claimed invention, an information processing apparatus generating a workflow that defines a processing order of a plurality of processes, and having a storage that stores workflow information used to define processing in the respective processes included in the workflow, comprises a reception unit adapted to receive a processing status of a processing step of interest of the plurality of processes defined in the workflow from a device executing the processing step of interest, a checking unit adapted to check if the processing status of the processing step of interest matches a workflow generation condition, and a first generation unit adapted to generate, when the checking unit determines that the processing status of the processing step of interest matches the workflow generation condition, a workflow based on the workflow information stored in the storage unit and the processing status of the processing step of interest.
摘要:
A requested print job is divided and distributed to a plurality of printers to efficiently and correctly print data of the print job, with only a simple user instruction of distributed printing. Under the control of a distribution controller, data of a print job is divided into data corresponding to the number of printers from which the data is output, and spooled in specific file formats in accordance with a combination of the printers. In accordance with the spooled data, divided print data is generated and distributed to the printers via a network under the control of a transmission controller.

A print server system where a user can select a spooler of a server or that of a client from which a stored image is to be print-outputted. Clients 12, 14 and 15 respectively have a first storage in which an image for which the client requested printing is stored. All the images for which printing have been requested from the clients are stored in a second storage in a server 16 which manages a printer 18. Upon actual print operation, a user designates one of the storages from which the stored image is to be transmitted to the printer, in accordance with a displayed screen image.
摘要:
A data processing apparatus, such as a facsimile apparatus, connected to a LAN, that transmits and/or receives data to or from another apparatus, wherein even if an error or failure such as a printer error or an insufficiency of available space in image memory for storing image data occurs, the required process is continued by transferring the image data from the data processing apparatus to another apparatus also connected to the LAN. The data processing apparatus has the capability of detecting an error in the LAN when the apparatus is connected to the LAN. This allows the data processing apparatus to operate correctly without problems that might otherwise occur due to the error in the LAN. The data processing apparatus also has the capability of operating in an adequate process mode corresponding to a process command contained in a received packet. This allows effective use of the data processing apparatus.
摘要:
Secrecy of printed matter is raised and charges for a storing area are more accurately charged. According to the invention, a printing apparatus is instructed so as to store print data corresponding to a print request into one of a plurality of storing areas. The print data is transmitted to the printing apparatus. The user is notified of authentication information corresponding to the print data stored in one of the plurality of storing areas.
摘要:
A specific memory box is temporarily formed every job which is requested by a client apparatus and the user of the client apparatus uniquely processes the job information at a high speed. In response to a print request from a client apparatus which can be connected to a network, a printer apparatus is instructed to form a memory box for managing the job information in a memory apparatus of the printer apparatus. When the job information whose printing has been requested by the client apparatus is inputted and registered into the formed memory box, the client apparatus is notified of printer management information of the job information inputted and registered in the memory box.
摘要:
When data is to be sent from a communication apparatus connected to a local area network (LAN) to a destination communication apparatus via a communication line, communication parameters related to the destination communication apparatus are inquired to a predetermined terminal apparatus upon reception of a transmission request from a terminal apparatus connected to the LAN. Communication control of the data is performed in accordance with the transmission request based on the communication parameters obtained by the inquiry. Also transmission control of the data is performed in accordance with a communication mode decided based upon the result of an interpretation of reception capability of the destination communication apparatus.
摘要:
A communication system, and an apparatus therefor, are used in combination with an integrated service digital network. The proposed system, and the apparatus, can achieve a change of service from an equipment to another, for example from a telephone unit to a facsimile unit, both connected to the same telephone line, without disconnecting a call made through the telephone line. For this purpose, the proposed system or apparatus has a discriminating unit for identifying a request for communication released from another unit connected to the same telephone, and a communication control unit for automatically communicating with a destination unit with which said other unit has been communicating through said telephone line.
摘要:
Even when an error has occurred in a device that is executing an activity, the workflow is continued as much as possible. When an error has occurred in an activity that is in progress in a device X, a server notifies the device X of an alternative device. The name of the alternative device (device Y) is displayed on the device X. The operator can send a job catalog request from the device Y to the server and select an aborted job from the provided job catalog. The server is notified of the selected job. When password authentication has succeeded, the device Y is permitted to continue the activity.
