In order to charge a proper amount of money to the transmitting source and the destination, an MFP accepts transmitting source specifying information for identifying a transmitting user, destination specifying information for specifying a data destination, specifying of the data, and a processing procedure defining processing executed with respect to the specified data. The MFP acquires apparatus identification information for identifying a destination apparatus corresponding to the destination and capacity information defining processing executable by the destination apparatus. The MFP then compares the processing procedure with acquired restriction information. When the processing defined by the capacity information does not include part of the processing defined by the processing procedure, the MFP charges a processing charge for the data in a divided manner to the transmitting user and the destination user.

Charging system for charging for image processing conducted based on image data, image processing apparatus, and charging program embodied on computer readable medium

After a print request is made from a personal computer to a multifunction peripheral, when a user who logs into the multifunction peripheral instructs an execution of the print request in the multifunction peripheral, the multifunction peripheral requests the personal computer to transmit image data. Then, the personal computer transmits the requested image data to the multifunction peripheral. The multifunction peripheral executes the printing using the received image data. When the printing is completed, the multifunction peripheral transmits a completion notification indicating that the printing is completed to the personal computer. When receiving the completion notification, the personal computer transmits a completion notification having the same content as the received completion notification to the multifunction peripheral.

Image processing system

An image processing apparatus includes a request information reception portion that receives a request to execute an image-related process relating to an image from another image processing apparatus and obtains limited functions information from another image processing apparatus relating to a right of a user that specified the request to use a function, a substitute allowance determining portion determining whether the user has the right to use the function necessary to execute the image-related process of the request, based on the obtained limited functions information, and a substitute process command portion controlling each portion of the image processing apparatus to execute the image-related process when it is determined that the user has the right, and not to execute that image-related process when it is determined that the user does not have such right.
