Abstract
When a hot folder monitoring section detects entry of a data file into a hot folder, a job ticket creating section creates a print job for the entered data file. A print data transmitting section transmits the created print job to a printer. If the hot folder monitoring section determines that the data file is entered from an input source folder to the hot folder, the print system transfers the data file to the input source folder.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus including a processor comprising:
- a processing condition setting unit configured to set a processing condition for performing data processing using a data file entered into a processing folder;
- a determination unit configured to determine entry of the data file from an input source folder into the processing folder;
- a processing unit configured to perform the data processing using the data file entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, based on the processing condition set by the processing condition setting unit;
- and
- a transfer unit configured to transfer the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, back to the input source folder,
- wherein the transfer unit transfers the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, into an alternate folder different from the input source folder in a case where the data file cannot be transferred back to the input source folder, and
- wherein the data processing of the processing unit is performed by the processor included in the information processing apparatus.
A method for processing information, comprising:
- setting a processing condition for performing data processing using a data file entered into a processing folder;
- determining entry of a data file from an input source folder into the processing folder;
- performing the data processing using the data file entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, based on the set processing condition;
- and
- transferring the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, back to the input source folder
- wherein the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, is transferred into an alternate folder different from the input source folder in a case where the data file cannot be transferred back to the input source folder.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for processing information, the program comprising:
- computer-executable instructions for setting a processing condition for performing data processing using data file entered into a processing folder;
- computer-executable instructions for determining entry of a data file from an input source folder into the processing folder;
- computer-executable instructions for performing the data processing using the data file entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, based on the processing condition;
- and
- computer-executable instructions for transferring the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, back to the input source folder,
- wherein the data file, entered from the input source folder into the processing folder, is transferred into an alternate folder different from the input source folder in a case where the data file cannot be transferred back to the input source folder.
