20110205586 | PRINTING SYSTEM, CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEM, PRINTING SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A cloud computing system includes an input data storage unit, a data input unit, an output data storage unit, and a data extraction unit. When an execution instruction is externally input, the cloud computing system reads data from the input data storage unit and processes the read data. Then, the cloud computing system stores a result of processing of the data on the output data storage unit. | 08-25-2011 |
20110246602 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus according to the present invention transmits first processing request data in accordance with the content of a user instruction through an operation screen displayed on a Web browser to a Web server, receives a request based on the first processing request data from the Web server, and executes processing in accordance with the received response data. Moreover, before completion of the execution of the processing, the information processing apparatus transmits second processing request data to the Web server at the timing specified by the Web server, and displays an operation screen indicating the state of the processing according to response data received from the Web server. | 10-06-2011 |
20110261398 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND A CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - With an information processing apparatus, if a user operates a “back” button of a web browser while a job is being executed, a script for controlling the job currently being executed is lost, and the job can no longer be controlled. An information processing apparatus of the present invention can communicate with a web server, and includes a web browser that displays an operation screen provided by the web server. This information processing apparatus manages the status of a job to be executed, and restricts acceptance of an instruction for screen transition from the user according to the managed status of the job while the job instructed by the web server is being executed. | 10-27-2011 |
20120236359 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus includes a management unit, a printer information acquisition unit, a status acquisition unit, a creation unit, and a transmission unit. The management unit manages printer information of a plurality of printers. The printer information acquisition unit acquires, from the managed printer information, printer information corresponding to a login request accepted from a client terminal. The status acquisition unit acquires statuses of printers indicated by the printer information acquired by the acquisition unit. The creation unit creates, based on the printer information acquired by the printer information acquisition unit and the statuses acquired by the status acquisition unit, a screen which can discriminate printers capable of printing at the client terminal. The transmission unit transmits the screen created by the creation unit to the client terminal. | 09-20-2012 |
