Benefits of technology

[0007] An aspect of the present invention is to make it possible to search print information based on the semantic contents of stored documents.
[0008] Another aspect of the present invention is to make it easy to manage print data by managing it in a wide variety of fashions in a print data search system based on the semantic contents of stored documents.
[0009] Still another aspect of the present invention is to prevent the duplicate extraction of text information which is extracted from band data to recognize semantic contents when print information is searched based on the semantic contents of stored documents in a band print system.

Problems solved by technology

However, when it is desired to search a document having specific contents although the document name and the author of a printed document are unknown, and when it is desired to selectively display the contents of a print job on a screen of a print server, and the like, it is difficult to display the contents by the conventional technology or it is necessary to search and display the contents by forming the images of the stored print job one by one, from which a problem arises in that a large load is put on a user.

Abstract

There is provided an image processing method including an extraction step of extracting text data and image forming data based on an image processing apparatus control code as a job, and a storing step of relating the information of the job, the text data, and the image forming data to each other and storing them in a memory unit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to image processing, and more specifically, to image processing executed by an image forming apparatus control code. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] When a specific job is searched from a job history in an image processing system for executing image processing by sending an image processing apparatus control code from a host to an image processing apparatus, there are conventionally a system, a method, and the like that store a document name or a file name, an application name, a user name, a print date, and the like that relate to a print job as the job history and search print data from the job history. [0005] Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-67149 described below discloses a technology for extracting text information when a job is printed and storing the text data together with the job. [0006] However, when it is desired to search a document having specific...
