Abstract
An image output management apparatus includes a determination unit and a generating unit. The determination unit compares, with one another, pieces of request information for requesting image output, and thus determines pieces of request information satisfying a predetermined similarity condition. The generating unit generates presentation information as prior information. The presentation information indicates the pieces of request information satisfying the similarity condition. The prior information is presented to a user before execution of image output according to the pieces of request information.
Claims13
An image output management apparatus comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to:
- receive a plurality of print jobs comprising a plurality of document data, wherein the plurality of print jobs comprises a first print job including a first document data and a second print job including a second document data from an apparatus used by a user, wherein each of the plurality of document data includes user information and file information, the user information being information for identifying a user who requests output, the file information indicating a file name of a file that is to be output;
- determine whether the first document data and the second document data, which have not been printed, satisfy a similarity condition by comparing with one another, the plurality of document data in terms of the user information and the file information included in each of the plurality of document data, and thus regards the first document data and the second document data that are transmitted from an identical user and that correspond to an identical file name, as the similar documents satisfying the similarity condition;
- generate presentation information indicating similar documents comprising the first document data and the second document data satisfying the similarity condition with the first document data being automatically presented a deletion candidate prior to printing as the first document has an older creation date than the second document, and
- present the presentation information to the user before printing any of the first print job and the second print job.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute functions comprising:
- receiving a plurality of print jobs comprising a plurality of document data, wherein the plurality of print jobs comprising a first print job including a first document data and a second print job including a second document data from an apparatus used by a user, wherein each of the plurality of document data includes user information and file information, the user information being information for identifying a user who requests output, the file information indicating a file name of a file that is to be output;
- determining whether the plurality of document data comprising the first document data and the second document data, which have not been printed, satisfy a similarity condition by comparing with one another, the plurality of document data in terms of the user information and the file information included in each of the plurality of document data, and thus regards the first document data and the second document data that are transmitted from an identical user and that correspond to an identical file name, as the similar documents satisfying the similarity condition;
- and
- generating presentation information indicating similar documents comprising the first document data and the second document data satisfying the similarity condition with the first document data being automatically presented a deletion candidate prior to printing as the first document has an older creation date than the second document, and
- present the presentation information to the user before printing the first print job and the second print job.
