Abstract

The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a computer program product for processing image. A screen control unit reads an element definition-file and a layout-data file, interprets the element definition-file, reads a screen-element file specified by a result of the interpretation, and arranges a screen element represented by the screen-element file at a layout location indicated by the layout-data file thereby generating an operation screen. A screen-information management unit manages the screen-element file. The communications unit receives an instruction from a user and sends the instruction to a CPU, and. The communications unit sends update information from the CPU to the screen control unit.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an image processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The image processing system includes an information processing device 1 and a multifunction product (MFP) 10 connected to each other via a wired or wireless connection unit (not shown). The information processing apparatus 1 creates an element definition file (element definition-file), a screen element file (screen-element file), and a layout data file for generating an operation screen to be displayed on the MFP 10 . The MFP 10 generates an operation screen using the element definition file, the screen element file, and the layout data file, and displays the operation screen.

[0029] figure 2 is a block diagram for explaining the hardware configuration of the MFP 10 . The MFP 10 includes a scanner 172, a plotter 174, ...
