Abstract
An information processing apparatus capable of combining images using a ticket in order to lighten user's load concerning operations for setting an image composition process and for selecting a target process definition. The information processing apparatus processes an image read by an image reading unit according to a process definition described by combining one or more information processes. A first addition unit adds a process setting for combining images to the process definition. A combination unit combines the images according to the process definition that is added by the first addition unit.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus that processes an image read by an image reading unit according to a process definition described by combining one or more information processes, comprising:
- a first addition unit configured to add a process setting for combining images to the process definition;
- and
- a combination unit configured to combine the images according to the process definition that is added by said first addition unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image reading unit configured to read an image;
- a selection unit configured to select a predetermined process definition from a list of process definitions each of which is described by combining one or more information processes;
- an execution unit configured to execute a process according to the process definition selected by said selection unit;
- a sending unit configured to send the image acquired by said image reading unit and the process definition to an information processing apparatus;
- a first division unit configured to divide the process definitions of the process definition list into a group including the process setting for combining images and a group not including the process setting for combining images;
- and
- a presentation unit configured to present the process definitions used as the selection targets in said selection unit according to the result of the process by said first division unit.
A control method for an information processing apparatus that processes an image read by an image reading unit according to a process definition described by combining one or more information processes, the control method comprising:
- an addition step of adding a process setting for combining images to the process definition;
- and
- a combination step of combining the images according to the process definition that is added in said addition step.
A control method for an image processing apparatus including an image reading unit of reading an image, a selection unit of selecting a predetermined process definition from a list of process definitions each of which is described by combining one or more information processes, an execution unit of executing a process according to the process definition selected by the selection unit, and a sending unit of sending the image read by the image reading unit and the process definition to an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a first division step of dividing the process definitions of the process definition list into a group including the process setting for combining images and a group not including the process setting for combining images;
- and
- a presentation step of showing the process definitions used as the selection targets in the selection unit according to the result of the process in said first division step.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- an execution step of processing an image read by an image reading unit according to a process definition described by combining one or more information processes;
- an addition step of adding a process setting for combining images to the process definition;
- and
- a combination step of combining the images according to the process definition to which the process setting is added in said addition step.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an information processing apparatus including an image reading unit of reading an image, a selection unit of selecting a predetermined process definition from a list of process definitions each of which is described by combining one or more information processes, an execution unit of executing a process according to the process definition selected by the selection unit, and a sending unit of sending the image read by the image reading unit and the process definition to an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- a first division step of dividing the process definitions of the process definition list into a group including the process setting for combining images and a group not including the process setting for combining images;
- and
- a presentation step of showing the process definitions used as the selection targets in the selection unit according to the result of the process in said first division step.
