Information processing system and information processing device suitable to perform process by communicating data among plurality of information processing devices connected to network, process condition setting program stored on a computer readable medium and executed in each of plurality of information processing devices, and process condition setting method

A process condition setting program stored on a computer readable medium and executable in one of a plurality of information processing devices connected to a network, said process condition setting program causing said information processing device to execute processing comprising the steps of:

• storing function information which defines, for each of said plurality of information processing devices, an individual process that does not allow processed data to be output to any information processing device other than the information processing device and a shared process that allows processed data to be output to any of all information processing devices other than the information processing device;
• reading said stored function information of all of said plurality of information processing devices to display a setting screen that allows setting of a process condition for performing a process that can be performed in at least one of said plurality of information processing devices;
• receiving said process condition;
• and
• outputting said received process condition to any one of said plurality of information processing devices.

A process condition setting method that can be performed in one of a plurality of information processing devices connected to a network, said process condition setting method comprising the steps of:

• storing function information which defines, for each of said plurality of information processing devices, an individual process that does not allow processed data to be output to any information processing device other than the information processing device and a shared process that allows processed data to be output to any of all information processing devices other than the information processing device;
• reading said stored function information of all of said plurality of information processing devices to display a setting screen that allows setting of a process condition for performing a process that can be performed in at least one of said plurality of information processing devices;
• receiving said process condition;
• and
• outputting said received process condition to any one of said plurality of information processing devices.

An information processing device for use in an information processing system comprising a plurality of information processing devices connected to a network, said information processing device comprising:

• a storage unit to store, for each of said plurality of information processing devices, function information which defines an individual process that does not allow processed data to be output to any information processing device other than the information processing device and a shared process that allows processed data to be output to any of all information processing devices other than the information processing device;
• a setting screen display unit to read the function information of all of said plurality of information processing devices stored in said storage unit and display a setting screen that allows setting of a process condition for performing a process that can be performed in at least one of said plurality of information processing devices;
• a process condition reception unit to receive said process condition;
• and
• an output unit to output said received process condition to any one of said plurality of information processing devices.
