An image output system includes input section for inputting an image or data, instruction acceptance section for accepting an instruction of outputting the input image or an image generated from the input data, image output section for outputting the instructed image, and log-recording section for recording an image log, including at least the image to be output and the result information of an output process for the image to be output, irrespective of whether or not the output of the instructed image has been completed successfully.

Image output system having image log recording function, and log recording method in image output system

Without using a script that describes a procedure, document parts are extracted from structured documents and inserted or substituted in a template to synthesize a document. An extraction instruction to retrieve document parts, and repetitive duplication and insertion/substitution instructions are provided to the structured documents. Therefore, document part retrieval, repetitive duplication, and a document part (location) in which a document part is to be inserted or substituted are specified, and instructions retrieved from plural inputted structured documents are dynamically synthesized to create a document processing description, so that a document processing description script becomes unnecessary. Consequently, the inconvenience of managing scripts in addition to original documents is eliminated.

Structured document processing system and structured document processing method

A data transmission apparatus having a storage device for storing at least one structure data piece of a data processing device in a receiving data processing apparatus, a computation device for computing a transmission error detection code from the structure data stored in the storage device and a device for attaching the transmission error detection code computed by the computation device to the structure data stored in the storage device. The data transmission apparatus further includes a transmitter for transmitting the structure data to which the transmission error detection code is attached to a receiving apparatus, a receiver for receiving a retransmission request for each structure data piece returned from the receiving apparatus when a transmission error is detected based on the transmission error detection code and structure data transmitted by the transmitter, and a device for responding to the restransmission request for each structure data piece received by the reception means by retransmitting the corresponding structure data piece to the receiving apparatus.

Data transmission apparatus and method

An apparatus and method for creating a drawing program used by a printer to print a document calculates the load on the printer for printing portions of the document, and embeds the calculated loads in the drawing program. Document data is converted into page description language commands that are used by a printer to print the document. Load parameters indicating the time and/or the memory capacity required by the printer to process each command of the page description language are stored in a memory unit. The load of the printer for each of the converted commands is calculated for each process unit of the document, which corresponds to a command string, based on the load parameters. A drawing program to be processed by the printer is then created from commands and the calculated loads.

Drawing program creating method

In a name service apparatus, a virtual resource management table has three sorts of fields, name, position and procedure. For a virtual resource, its name, position of an actual resource and name of procedure to handle the actual resource are held in correspondence to each other. On receiving inquiry request for name, a communication section requests a retrieval section of a name resolution section to carry out name resolution. The retrieval section retrieves the virtual image management table using the received name as a key. If the received name is a virtual resource, the position of the actual resource and the procedure name are obtained from the table and access to the virtual resource becomes possible.

Name service apparatus using resource management, name resolution and

When the name of a resource is inputted to a given context holder, a name analysis unit analyzes the name and a name translation unit converts it into first or second resource implementation representations. A name resolution unit receives the first or second resource implementation representations from each context holder. When the result of conversion is of the second resource implementation representations, the name resolution unit outputs a resource name of a second series or string of resource elements included in the second resource implementation representations to its corresponding context holder. This operation is executed on a chain basis to solve the name. A resource implementation unit outputs a handle for the resource corresponding to the result of name resolution therefrom. A user can obtain access to a virtual resource corresponding to the input name by using the handle. Owing to the above construction, an apparatus for and a method of managing resources can be provided which is capable of embodying a high-flexible distributed system providing name spaces for performing local resource access every users, which reflect preference and intentions for an access method by each individual user.

A program debugging system for a distributed data processing system of the type in which a plurality of processes communicate with one another to realize their concurrent and parallel operations. The debugging system includes a plurality of satellite debugging units, coupled respectively with the plurality of processes, for debugging the processes; a central debugging unit for remotely controlling the plurality of satellite debugging units; and a remote-procedure-call detecting unit for previously detecting an issuance or an end of a remote procedure call in the process to be debugged by the satellite debugging units. In the debugging system, each of the satellite debugging units includes an execution interrupting unit for interrupting the execution of the process to be debugged and transmitting a message of the execution-interruption to the central debugging unit; an execution restarting unit for restarting the execution of the interrupted process and transmitting a message of the execution-restart to the central debugging unit; an interruption-time notifying unit for calculating an execution-interruption time on the basis of the interruption and restart of the execution of the process and for transmitting the calculated interruption time to the central debugging unit; and an execution delay unit for delaying, when the remote-procedure-call detecting unit detects the issuance of a remote procedure call by a process, the execution of the remote procedure call according to information including the execution-interruption time of another process that is transmitted from the central debugging unit.
