Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, with this conventional technology, an actual search is performed after various search conditions have been set, and unless a desired search result is obtained, it is necessary to change the search condition and perform the search again, and each time this results in waiting for the search result time period, and make users waste time waiting
Also, there is a large load on the network due to multiple searches
[0005] In addition, when the included search results hit (hit) a plurality of services, it takes too much time and effort on the part of the user to select a desired service from numerous services

[0030] FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a network system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. By connecting the user-operable device 100 and the service providing devices 101, 102, and 103 to the LAN 400, a network is constituted as an information processing system. The service providing means 101, 102, and 103 provide their various functions to the outside as services. In response to a command from the user 99 (or based on the judgment of the user-operable device 100 itself), the user-operable device 100 uses services provided by the service providing devices 101, 102, and 103 through the network.

[0031] In addition, in order for the service providing apparatuses 101, 102, and 103 to provide services, the service providing apparatuses 101, 102, and 103 may present information indicating their held services to the outside in advance. The user can operate the device 100 to transmit a packet representing the search request to the LAN 400, and by doing so...

[0054] An information processing system is described as a second embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment takes the case of using the duplication case as an example, and the present embodiment describes a method of reducing the number of services by detecting that the user has placed a document on the reader section 200 . The structure and the like of the system are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and thus the same configurations and processes are assigned the same reference numerals as described above and are not described.

[0055] The case of using the copy function refers to the state in which the copy key 604 in FIG. 8 is pressed and the screen of FIG. 9 is displayed. The service list is the service list 511 in FIG. 12, and in FIG. 9, the service list 626 is displayed. Here, the sensor detects the size of the document that the user has placed on the reader part 200, for example, it is judged that the document is A3 size. Here, as ...

Abstract

The invention provides service search technology that is more user-friendly and that places less of a burden on the network. To accomplish this, services on a network are searched and the search results that are obtained are used to create a service list, which is saved (S 701 through S 703 ). The saved service list is read and displayed (S 712 ). A user inputs an operation to indicate a service to be received (S 704 through S 706 ). The services that are included in the service list are changed according to this input operation (S 709 through S 711 ).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and systems for searching services on a network. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is a network system in which a plurality of information devices are connected, and the network system can acquire desired services from devices on the network through operations on client devices. A conventional system issues a search request for services on a network, presents search results to a user as a result list, allows the user to select a desired service from the service list, and then provides the specified service. [0003] For example, the system disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-109693 is a known example of a system that performs such a search. With this technology, when searching for a device such as a digital hybrid device, etc., using the device class (printer, etc.), static data (stable functions, etc.), and dynamic data (consumption information, etc.) device search request and di...
