Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system that allows a user to receive a document from an image processing apparatus and execute a processing flow on the document based on the identification information embedded in the document. The system includes an embedding unit in the image processing apparatus, a management unit in the server, and a reception and transmission unit in the information processing apparatus. The technical effect of this system is that it provides a convenient way for users to execute processing flows on document data from an image processing apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is infeasible to realize the above-mentioned processing.

Embodiment Construction

[0032]Various exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the subject matter will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0033]First, a system according to a first exemplary embodiment is described in detail below.

[0034](System Configuration)

[0035]FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a system configuration of an image processing system according to the present exemplary embodiment.

[0036]The system illustrated in FIG. 1 includes an MFP 110, a processing flow management server apparatus 120, a PC 130, an extended application distribution server apparatus 140, and a document management server apparatus 150, which are connected via a network 100.

[0037]The network 100 constitutes an infrastructure that enables each apparatus to communicate with each other. For example, the network 100 is Intranet, a private internet, or any other network system.

[0038]The MFP 110 has a copy function. Further, the MFP 110 has a data transmission function. More specifically, the MFP 110...

Abstract

A system includes an image processing apparatus, a server apparatus, and an information processing apparatus. The system receives document data from the image processing apparatus. The document data includes identification information to be referred to in identifying a processing flow including sequentially continuing tasks to be executed on the document data. The system extracts the identification information from the received document data and transmits a processing flow execution request that includes the document data to the server apparatus, based on the extracted identification information.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field[0002]The present subject matter relates to a system and a control method.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]It is conventionally feasible for a system to realize a plurality of pieces of processing according to an instruction. As discussed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2004-133926, when a plurality of pieces of processing is described in an instruction, a conventional system performs the plurality of pieces of processing according to a described instruction.SUMMARY[0005]In this case, it is presumed that the system preliminarily defines a processing flow including a plurality of sequentially combined tasks, each being executable on document data, and executes a processing flow selected by a user on the document data selected by the user. The task is, for example, scanning a document to be processed, performing a printing based on document data, or transmitting the document data by means of an appropriate communication tool (e.g., electron...
