Data processing apparatus, data processing program, data processing method, server, process execution instructing program, and process execution instructing method

A data processing program embodied on a computer readable medium and causing a computer to execute processing including the steps of:

• receiving a Web page from a server and causing said server to execute a process determined by said Web page based on an instruction input in accordance with said Web page;
• accepting control information upon reception of a setting command from said server, and storing said accepted control information in association with control identification information for identification of said control information;
• transmitting said control identification information associated with said stored control information to said server;
• and
• upon reception of a job execution command from said server including said control identification information and a result of execution by said server of the process determined by said Web page, executing a process based on the result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control information associated with said control identification information.

A data processing method executed by a data processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a Web page from a server and causing said server to execute a process determined by said Web page based on an instruction input in accordance with said Web page;
• accepting control information upon reception of a setting command from said server, and storing said accepted control information in association with control identification information for identification of said control information;
• transmitting said control identification information associated with said stored control information to said server;
• and
• upon reception of a job execution command from said server including said control identification information and a result of execution by said server of the process determined by said Web page, executing a process based on the result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control information associated with said control identification information.

A server comprising:

• a substitute process execution portion to transmit a Web page in response to a request from an external apparatus, and execute a process determined by said Web page in response to reception of a process execution instruction from said external apparatus;
• a setting instructing portion to transmit a setting command to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to set control information for use in execution of a prescribed process and transmit control identification information for identification of the set control information;
• an identification information receiving portion to receive said control identification information from said external apparatus in response to transmission of said setting command;
• and
• a command transmitting portion to transmit a job execution command including a result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control identification information to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to execute a process using the result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control information.

A process execution instructing program embodied on a computer readable medium and causing a computer to execute processing including the steps of:

• transmitting a Web page in response to a request from an external apparatus, and executing a process determined by said Web page in response to reception of a process execution instruction from said external apparatus;
• transmitting a setting command to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to set control information for use in execution of a prescribed process and transmit control identification information for identification of the set control information;
• receiving said control identification information from said external apparatus in response to transmission of said setting command;
• and
• transmitting a job execution command including a result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control identification information to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to execute a process using the result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control information.

A process execution instructing method executed by a server, comprising the steps of:

• transmitting a Web page in response to a request from an external apparatus, and executing a process determined by said Web page in response to reception of a process execution instruction from said external apparatus;
• transmitting a setting command to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to set control information for use in execution of a prescribed process and transmit control identification information for identification of the set control information;
• receiving said control identification information from said external apparatus in response to transmission of said setting command;
• and
• transmitting a job execution command including a result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control identification information to said external apparatus, to cause said external apparatus to execute a process using the result of execution of the process determined by said Web page and said control information.
