[0041] First, a description is provided about the application program configuration and the system configuration of the present embodiment.
[0042] application configuration
[0043] FIG. 1 is a diagram of an editing application for explaining a task cooperation processing flow according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , a tree structure is created by interconnecting a plurality of tasks shown by circles 1 and dendritic linear elements 2 to form / define a series of processing operations. In this application, on a display device, the user can easily create a task cooperative processing flow by setting these tasks (circle 1) using a typical GUI system and connecting them with linear elements 2. It should be noted that, in FIG. 1 , linear elements are used to branch the processing into two branches, ie, "fax→print" and "save to folder→notify e-mail". In addition, the user interface including the manner of displaying the task collaboration process flow and the proc...

[0109] In the first embodiment described above, processing is described based on the assumption that a computer or other information processing device runs a task cooperation processing flow execution system. However, it is also conceivable that the task cooperation processing flow execution system is constituted either by a computer and a device such as a print processing apparatus, or by a device alone. If a device is used to run the execution system of the task cooperation process, the execution application program can be stored on a fixed disk or other storage medium in the device, and the task cooperation process process to be executed can be stored on a separate storage medium and made portable. Alternatively, each application program to be run can be recorded on a detachable storage medium. Here, it is assumed that at least the task cooperation processing flow is recorded on a portable storage medium such as a USB memory.
[0110]In this case, when the USB memory is c...

[0113] The above first and second embodiments are based on the assumption that the task cooperation processing flow is kept within the information processing device or the print processing device or the like. However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and the task cooperation processing flows may be kept on the shared server 402, and by downloading the task cooperation processing flows from the shared server 402, they may be executed by the information processing device and the print processing device. In this case, flow information and output data generated during execution of the task cooperation processing flow are sent from the execution system (information processing apparatus (PC) and device) to the shared server 402, and they are managed by the shared server 402. If the task cooperation processing flow is suspended, saving of output data (S902) and registration of unexecuted information and task cooperation processing flow are performed on the s...
