Abstract
An image processing apparatus acquires information included in application data created by an application but not in image data generated by interpreting the application data, adds the acquired information to the generated image data generated based on the application data as attribute information (meta data) of the generated image data, and outputs the generated image data and the attribute information which has been added to the generated image data to an external device.
Claims13
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a generation unit configured to generate image data by interpreting application data created by an application;
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire information included in the application data but not in generated image data generated by the generation unit;
- an addition unit configured to add the information acquired by the acquisition unit to the generated image data as attribute information of the generated image data;
- and
- an output unit that outputs the generated image data and the attribute information which has been added to the generated image data by the addition unit.
A control method of an image processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- generating image data by interpreting application data created by an application;
- acquiring information included in the application data but not in generated image data generated in the generating step;
- adding the information acquired in the acquiring step to the generated image data as attribute information of the generated image data;
- and
- outputting the generated image data and the attribute information which has been added to the generated image data in the adding step.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable process, the computer-executable process causing a computer to perform the steps comprising:
- generating image data by interpreting application data created by an application;
- acquiring information included in the application data but not in generated image data generated in the generating step;
- adding the information acquired in the acquiring step to the generated image data as attribute information of the generated image data;
- and
- outputting the generated image data and the attribute information which has been added to the generated image data in the adding step.
