Abstract
In the case that a plurality of users execute output reservations while looking at targets to be output together, the necessity for an operation to sort the output materials by user after output is eliminated. The plurality of users are classified, the plurality of targets to be output selected in a scattered manner by the plurality of classified users are bulked together as selected targets to be output for each user, and those bulked targets to be output are output for each user.
Claims11
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying targets to be output;
- an input unit for receiving a plurality of instruction inputs to a single input area for selecting said targets to be output;
- a determination unit for determining the classifications of said plurality of instruction inputs;
- and
- an output unit for bulking said targets to be output for each classification determined by said determination unit and outputting said targets.
A control method for an information processing apparatus, comprising the following steps of:
- a step of displaying targets to be output;
- a step of receiving a plurality of instruction inputs to a single input area for selecting said targets to be output;
- a step of determining the classifications of said plurality of instruction inputs;
- and
- a step of bulking said targets to be output for each classification determined by said determination unit and outputting them.
A print apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying print objects;
- an input unit for receiving a plurality of instruction inputs to a single input area for selecting said print objects;
- a determination unit for determining the classifications of said plurality of instruction inputs;
- and
- an output unit for bulking said print objects for each classification determined by said determination unit and outputting said print objects.
A control method for a print apparatus, comprising the following steps of:
- a step of displaying print objects;
- a step of receiving a plurality of instruction inputs to a single input area for selecting said print objects;
- a step of determining the classifications of said plurality of instruction inputs;
- and
- a step of bulking said print objects for each classification determined by said determination unit and outputting them.
