Image Processing System

An image processing system including a terminal that makes a request to process image data, and one or more image processing devices that process the image data in accordance with the request to process the image data from the terminal,

• the terminal comprising:
• a holder that holds the image data;
• a process instruction receiver operable to receive, from a user, an instruction to process the image data held by the holder;
• a process requester operable to transmit, to each of the one or more image processing devices, the request to process the image data, which includes user specification information and image data specification information, the user specification information specifying the user that transmitted the instruction to process the image data, and the image data specification information specifying the image data relating to the instruction to process the image data;
• and
• an image data transmitter operable to, when a request to transmit the image data, which includes the image data specification information, is received from one of the one or more image processing devices, transmit the image data to the image processing device, and
• each of the one or more image processing devices comprising:
• a receiver operable to receive the request to process the image data from the terminal;
• an authenticator operable to authenticate a user of the image processing device;
• an execution instruction receiver operable to, when the user authenticated by the authenticator is identical to the user specified by the user specification information relating to the request to process the image data, receive an instruction to execute the request to process the image data;
• an image data requestor operable to, when the execution instruction receiver receives the instruction to execute the request to process the image data, make the request to transmit the image data to the terminal;
• and
• an image processor operable to receive, from the terminal, the image data requested by the image data requester to perform image processing on the image data.
