Setting data personalized for a user authenticated by the authentication unit is obtained, and the plurality of processes is registered as a sequential processing flow. The processing flow is executed with a part of the processing flow replaced by processing personalized for the user set in the setting data, upon executing the registered processing flow. | 07-02-2009 |
20100007908 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus which is capable of flow easily and efficiently resuming an interrupted processing. The image processing apparatus executes a processing flow for sequentially carrying out a plurality of processes. When execution of the processing flow is interrupted due to occurrence of a power failure, the image processing apparatus creates a recovery processing flow for carrying out yet-to-be-executed ones of the processes included in the processing flow, after restart of the image processing apparatus, and executes the created recovery processing flow. | 01-14-2010 |
20100238481 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - An image processing apparatus that enables a user who is restricted in use of a function to use the restricted function easily and exactly only for a specific process flow. A function restriction unit restricts execution of a function of the image processing apparatus based on restriction information set for every user. A process-flow generation unit generates a process that is achieved by combining a plurality of functions as a process flow according to an instruction from a user. An authentication unit authenticates the user according to his user account. A storage unit stores a process flow that is generated by the process-flow generation unit according to an instruction from an authenticated first user as a process flow on which a second user who is restricted in use of at least one of functions included in the process flow can issue an execution instruction to an execution unit. | 09-23-2010 |
20110157640 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - An image forming apparatus includes a processing flow execution unit configured to combine a plurality of processes using a plurality of functions included in the image forming apparatus to set the processes as a series of processing flow. If an instruction to execute a part of the processes in the processing flow on trial is received from after a set event occurs and before a waiting time elapses, the processing flow execution unit executes the part of the processes in the processing flow on trial, and executes the processing flow if the waiting time has elapsed without receiving the instruction to execute a part of the processes in the processing flow after the set event occurred. | 06-30-2011 |
20110199646 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus may execute a process defined in a job ticket. The image processing apparatus includes a holding unit to hold a job ticket defining a plurality of processes. A display control unit of the image processing apparatus performs control to display, on a display unit, pieces of information about the plurality of processes defined in the job ticket held in the holding unit. | 08-18-2011 |
20120033259 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus includes a web relay unit and, in a case where a file input field exists in screen information acquired from a web service provided by the web server capable of communicating via a network, the web relay unit extracts a file downloaded from another web service which can collaborate with the web service from a storage device, converts the file input field included in the screen information into a selection box, and transmits, to the web browser, screen information in which the extracted file is set to the option of the selection box. | 02-09-2012 |
20120036470 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a tab browser that can hold a plurality of pieces of screen information provided by a Web server in different windows and that can switch any of the windows into an active state by a user selecting a tab relating to that window. In the information processing apparatus, a determination unit, if a request for screen information from the user is accepted, determines whether there is any window that is not active among the windows held by the tab browser. If it is determined that a window that is not active exists among the windows held by the tab browser, a control unit closes the window that is not active. After the window that is not active was closed, a request unit requests the screen information requested by the user from the Web server. | 02-09-2012 |
20120144478 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, PROCESSING FLOW CONTROL METHOD, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus capable of reducing the number of processing flows and also reduce time and effort required by a user in searching a desired processing flow. The image processing apparatus including an authentication unit adapted to execute user authentication, and an execution unit adapted to execute processing on image data with a plurality of processes as a sequential processing flow while cooperating a plurality of different functions with one another. Setting data personalized for a user authenticated by the authentication unit is obtained, and the plurality of processes is registered as a sequential processing flow. The processing flow is executed with a part of the processing flow replaced by processing personalized for the user set in the setting data, upon executing the registered processing flow. | 06-07-2012 |
20120282442 | Mold Manufacture Method and Mold Formed by Said Method - There are provided a mold manufacture method capable of easily manufacturing a mold having a nanosized fine structure, and a mold obtained using such method. The mold manufacture method includes: a step of forming a self-assembled film | 11-08-2012 |
20130188203 | NETWORK SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROLLING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM - The storage unit stores first ability information indicating an image processing ability of each of the plurality of image reading apparatuses and second ability information indicating an image processing ability of the image processing apparatus. The accepted job is instructed to execute by any one of the plurality of image reading apparatuses and specifies at least image processing. The selecting is performed on either an image reading apparatus instructing to execute the job or the image processing apparatus based on the first ability information and the second ability information. When the image reading apparatus is selected, the image reading apparatus is controlled to execute the image processing specified in the job. When the image processing apparatus is selected, the image processing apparatus is controlled to execute the image processing specified in the job on data read by the image reading apparatus. | 07-25-2013 |
