Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a first hardware processor that sets cooperative processing including first processing and second processing that cooperate with each other in a server that provides a service that determines the cooperative processing; a second hardware processor that receives a command to execute the first processing; a third hardware processor that generates alternative processing in place of the first processing in a case where it is detected that the command cannot be received after the cooperative processing has been set; and a fourth hardware processor that executes the alternative processing.
Claims14
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a first hardware processor that sets cooperative image processing including first image processing and second image processing that cooperate with each other in a server that provides a service that determines the cooperative image processing;
- a second hardware processor that receives a command to execute the first image processing;
- a third hardware processor that generates alternative image processing in place of the first image processing in a case where it is detected that the command cannot be received after the cooperative image processing has been set;
- a fourth hardware processor that executes the alternative image processing,
- a fifth hardware processor that establishes a first communication path in order for the first hardware processor to communicate with the server;
- a sixth hardware processor that establishes a second communication path different from the first communication path in order to receive the command;
- and
- a seventh hardware processor that monitors a state of the second communication path, wherein
- the third hardware processor determines that the command cannot be received in a case where the seventh hardware processor detects a state in which communication through the second communication path is not possible.
