Image forming system and method thereof for parsing instant messaging information

An image forming system for parsing instant messaging information, comprising:

• a receiver, configured to receive instant messaging information;
• a parser, configured to determine a data type of the instant messaging information;
• a processor, configured to process the instant messaging information based on the determined data type of the instant messaging information, and convert the instant messaging information into image information recognizable and printable by an image forming device, the image forming device including an imager;
• and
• the imager, configured to control the image forming device to print the image information,
• wherein the data type of the instant messaging information, determined by the parser, includes:
• a first data type of the instant messaging information including text and image;
• a second data type of the instant messaging information including website link, wherein the processor includes an embedded browser, and when the data type of the instant messaging information is the second data type, the embedded browser acquires related content corresponding to the website link, the processor converts the related content to the image information recognizable and printable by the image forming device, and the processor sends the image information to the imager;
• and
• a third data type of the instant messaging information including non-text, non-image, and non-website-link,
• wherein:
• when the data type of the instant messaging information is the first data type, the processor converts the instant messaging information directly into the image information recognizable and printable by the image forming device and sends the image information to the imager.
