Image processing system, setting control method, image processing apparatus, and storage medium

A setting control method of controlling settings of an image processing device, comprising:

• retaining, in a database, information of jobs executed by the image processing device;
• receiving input data that represents a user's intent and includes one or more words;
• determining, based at least on a first specific word included in the input data, whether to refer to the database,
• acquiring, when it is determined to refer to the database, one or more setting values from the database using an extraction condition corresponding to a second specific word that is included in the input data,
• setting up a new job to be executed by the image processing device based on the one or more setting values,
• wherein a setting item that is allowed to be set from the database is predefined for a job that is executable by the image processing device, and
• the one or more setting values acquired from the database includes a setting value of the setting item that is allowed to be set from the database.

An image processing apparatus comprising:

• an image processing device;
• and
• a controller for controlling settings of the image processing device;
• wherein the controller is configured to
• retain, in a database, information of jobs executed by the image processing device;
• receiving input data that represents a user's intent and includes one or more words;
• determine, based at least on a first specific word included in the input data, whether to refer to the database,
• acquire, when it is determined to refer to the database, one or more setting values from the database using an extraction condition corresponding to a second specific word that is included in the input data, and
• set up a new job to be executed by the image processing device based on the one or more setting values,
• wherein a setting item that is allowed to be set from the database is predefined for a job that is executable by the image processing device, and
• the one or more setting values acquired from the database includes a setting value of the setting item that is allowed to be set from the database.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a processor of an image processing apparatus including an image processing device to operate as a control unit for controlling settings of the image processing device,

• wherein the control unit is configured to
• retain, in a database, information of jobs executed by the image processing device;
• receiving input data that represents a user's intent and includes one or more words;
• determine, based at least on a first specific word included in the input data, whether to refer to the database,
• acquire, when it is determined to refer to the database, one or more setting values from the database using an extraction condition corresponding to a second specific word that is included in the input data, and
• set up a new job to be executed by the image processing device based on the one or more setting values,
• wherein a setting item that is allowed to be set from the database is predefined for a job that is executable by the image processing device, and
• the one or more setting values acquired from the database includes a setting value of the setting item that is allowed to be set from the database.
