Abstract
In an image processing system, a control device (11) of a first host PC (1) controls (i) a storage device (12) of the first host PC (1) to store an icon registered on the first host PC (1), (ii) the icon to be registered on a multifunction peripheral (5), and (iii) the icon to be transmitted to a first client PC (3). In the image processing system, a control device (31) of the first client PC (3) controls a storage device (32) of the first client PC (3) to store the icon received from the first host PC (1), and controls a display device (35) of the first client PC (3) to display the icon.
Claims7
An image processing system, comprising:
- a client device;
- a host device;
- and
- an image processing apparatus,
- an icon, associated with operation setting information, being registered on the image processing apparatus, a display device of the image processing apparatus displaying the icon in response to a request to display the icon, and the image processing apparatus operating in accordance with an operation condition indicated by operation setting information associated with a selected icon,
- the client device including a storage device and a control section,
- the control section of the client device controlling (i) the storage device of the client device to store a first icon registered on the client device and (ii) only a third icon to be transmitted to the host device, the third icon being included in the first icon stored in the storage device of the client device and being registered on the client device through an entering operation which is carried out with respect to the client device by a user of the client device,
- the host device including a storage device and a control section,
- the control section of the host device controlling (i) the storage device of the host device to store the third icon received from the client device and (ii) the third icon to be registered on the image processing apparatus,
- the control section of the host device controlling (i) the storage device of the host device to store a second icon registered on the host device and (ii) only a fourth icon to be registered on the image processing apparatus and to be transmitted to the client device, the fourth icon being included in the second icon stored in the storage device of the host device and being registered on the host device through an entering operation which is carried out with respect to the host device by a user of the host device,
- the client device including a display device, and
- the control section of the client device controlling (i) the storage device of the client device to store the fourth icon received from the host device and (ii) the display device of the client device to display the third icon and the fourth icon which are stored in the storage device of the client device in response to a request to display the third icon and the fourth icon.
An image processing method, in which an icon associated with operation setting information is registered on an image processing apparatus, a display device of the image processing apparatus displays the icon in response to a request to display the icon, and the image processing apparatus operates in accordance with an operation condition indicated by operation setting information associated with a selected icon,
- the image processing method comprising the steps of:
- causing a storage device of a client device to store a first icon registered on the client device, and transmitting, to a host device, only a third icon which is (i) included in the first icon stored in the storage device of the client device and (ii) registered on the client device through an entering operation which is carried out with respect to the client device by a user of the client device;
- causing a storage device of the host device to store the third icon received from the client device, and causing the third icon to be registered on the image processing apparatus;
- causing the storage device of the host device to store a second icon registered on the host device, and causing only a fourth icon to be registered on the image processing apparatus and to be transmitted to the client device, the fourth icon being included in the second icon stored in the storage device of the host device and being registered on the host device through an entering operation which is carried out with respect to the host device by a user of the host device;
- and
- causing the storage device of the client device to store the fourth icon received from the host device, and causing a display device of the client device to display the third icon and the fourth icon which are stored in the storage device of the client device in response to a request to display the third icon and the fourth icon.
