[0040] System Configuration

[0041] figure 1 is a diagram showing an example configuration of the printing control system 1 according to the present embodiment.

[0042] figure 1 An example system configuration is shown, in which a plurality of terminals 300a, 300b (hereinafter collectively referred to as "terminals 300"); a plurality of image processing apparatuses 200a, 200b (hereinafter collectively referred to as "image processing apparatus 200"); And a plurality of printing control apparatuses 100a and 100b are connected via a predetermined data transmission path.

[0043] The terminal 300 is a device unit having a job transfer function. The terminal 300 , which is a PC (Personal Computer), PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or the like, transmits job data in which various execution settings are made via applications such as a printer driver and a web browser to the print control apparatus 100 .

[0181] In the present embodiment, a technique is proposed that responds to an image processing device using list information on accumulated jobs held in a print control device that unilaterally manages bibliographic information, which can acquire jobs from the image processing device.

[0182] The technique proposed in this embodiment is used to prevent the following scenarios. When the user selects a job to be executed via the job list screen in the image processing apparatus, if the selected job cannot be acquired from the print control apparatus, the desired job cannot be executed.

[0183] Therefore, in the present embodiment, a scheme is proposed in which, using a job list including only accumulated data that can be acquired from a print control device that unilaterally manages bibliographic information after job selection via the job list screen, Responses to image processing means.

[0184] In the following, only the content different from the above-mentioned embodimen...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a control apparatus, a control method, and a control system. Provided is a control apparatus (100), comprising: a request accepting unit (14); a response data generating unit (16); and a request responding unit (15), wherein, upon the request accepting unit accepting a job listing obtaining request from a processing apparatus (200), the response data generating unit obtains bibliographic information corresponding to a job of a user from a bibliographic information holding unit which holds multiple bibliographic information sets in order to unilaterally manage the multiple bibliographic information sets corresponding to all jobs including the job held by the control apparatus and jobs held by other control apparatuses, and, based on the obtained bibliographic information, generates job listing response data which include job accumulating location specifying information for specifying job accumulating locations, and wherein the request responding unit transmits the generated job listing response data to the processing apparatus and responds to the job listing obtaining request.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to techniques for printing accumulated jobs. Background technique [0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of acquiring accumulated jobs (print data) held by a print server and executing (printing) the jobs with a printer. [0003] In recent years, there are cases where such a printing control system is used in a wide-area environment. These scenarios include, for example, a situation where the system is implemented at a customer of a globally deployed business. In the above situation, a plurality of print servers are installed in offices in different countries and in different locations, thereby constructing a large-scale system. Even in such an environment, users desire a location-independent environment in which self-accumulating jobs can be executed from anywhere independently of where a printer server or a printer is installed. [0004] However, in the print control of the related art, for a la...
