Abstract

An image processing system disclosed is arranged to (i) when an image processing apparatus has received document image data and image processing request information for the document image data, cause a display section of the image processing apparatus to display an execution/non-execution selection screen for allowing a user to select whether to carry out an image processing corresponding to the image processing request information and (ii) upon acceptance of an instruction from the user to carry out the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information, carry out, with respect to the document image data, the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information.

Claims15

Dependent claims

An image processing apparatus for (i) receiving, from a second device connected thereto via a communication network, document image data and image processing request information indicative of content of an image processing to be carried out with respect to the document image data and (ii) carrying out, with respect to the document image data, the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information,

the image processing apparatus comprising:
display means for displaying information to be presented to a user of the image processing apparatus;
instruction entry means for accepting an instruction entry from the user of the image processing apparatus;
an image processing section for carrying out an image processing with respect to image data;
and
a UI screen preparation section for, upon receipt of image processing request information, causing the display means to display an execution or non-execution selection screen for allowing the user of the image processing apparatus to select whether to carry out an image processing corresponding to the image processing request information, when the instruction entry means has accepted from the user of the image processing apparatus an instruction to carry out the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information, the image processing section carrying out, with respect to document image data, the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information.

3 more elements

An image processing system in which an image scanning apparatus and an image processing apparatus are connected to a communication network, the image scanning apparatus scanning a document so as to obtain document image data, the image processing apparatus carrying out, with respect to the document image data, an image processing corresponding to image processing request information which is (i) prepared in accordance with an instruction from a user of the image scanning apparatus and (ii) indicative of content of the image processing to be carried out with respect to the document image data,

the image processing system comprising:
display means for displaying information to be presented to a user of the image processing apparatus;
instruction entry means for accepting an instruction entry from the user of the image processing apparatus;
and
an image processing section for carrying out an image processing with respect to image data,
either the image processing apparatus or a second device connected to the communication network including a UI screen preparation section for, when the image processing apparatus has received image processing request information, preparing an execution or non-execution selection screen to be displayed by the display means, the execution or non-execution selection screen allowing the user of the image processing apparatus to select whether to carry out an image processing corresponding to the image processing request information,
when the instruction entry means has accepted from the user of the image processing apparatus an instruction to carry out the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information, the image processing section carrying out, with respect to document image data, the image processing corresponding to the image processing request information.
