Image forming apparatus, information processing system, image forming method, and program

An image forming method performed by an image forming apparatus that forms an image on paper in accordance with a printing job, the image forming method comprising:

• a communication step of receiving meeting information concerning a meeting, the meeting information including a video comprising images and voices captured in the meeting;
• a storage step of storing the meeting information received by the communication step;
• an editing control step of editing the meeting information stored by the storage step in accordance with an execution time of the printing job, the editing control step editing a reproduction time of the meeting information such that the reproduction time is at most the execution time of the printing job;
• an operation display step of freely outputting the images or voices captured in the meeting based on the meeting information edited by the editing control step;
• and
• an output control step of controlling output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output by the operation display step,
• wherein:
• the output control step finishes output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output by the operation display step before completion of the printing job;
• the editing control step edits the meeting information stored in the storage unit in accordance with progress in the meeting;
• the editing control step edits a reproduction time of the images or voices of the meeting information such that the reproduction time becomes the execution time of the printing job or shorter;
• and
• the editing control step adjusts a ratio of a first reproduction time of edited contents of the meeting information to a second reproduction time of real-time contents of the images or voices captured in the meeting in accordance with a knowledge level of a user who has instructed the printing job.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program for causing a computer controlling an image forming apparatus that forms an image on paper in accordance with a printing job to execute:

• a communication unit that receives meeting information concerning a meeting, the meeting information including a video comprising images and voices captured in the meeting;
• a storage unit that stores the meeting information received by the communication unit;
• an editing control unit that edits the meeting information stored in the storage unit in accordance with an execution time of the printing job, the editing control step being configured to edit a reproduction time of the meeting information such that the reproduction time is at most the execution time of the printing job;
• an operation display unit that freely outputs the images or voices captured in the meeting based on the meeting information edited by the editing control unit;
• and
• an output control unit that controls output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output from the operation display unit,
• wherein:
• the output control unit finishes output of the images or voices captured in the meeting and output from the operation display unit before completion of the printing job;
• the editing control step edits the meeting information stored in the storage unit in accordance with progress in the meeting;
• the editing control step edits a reproduction time of the images or voices of the meeting information such that the reproduction time becomes the execution time of the printing job or shorter;
• and
• the editing control step adjusts a ratio of a first reproduction time of edited contents of the meeting information to a second reproduction time of real-time contents of the images or voices captured in the meeting in accordance with a knowledge level of a user who has instructed the printing job.
