An image processing apparatus subjects input image information to a predetermined image processing and outputs the image information. The image processing apparatus includes an UI processor that receives a plurality operation requests for the image information; and a request processor that interprets a combination of an input mode, of a plurality of input modes, which performs input processing, and an output mode, of a plurality of output modes, which performs output processing, and that requests the input processing from the input mode and requests the output processing from the output mode.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer program product configured to execute data processing for plural requests without duplicating common data processing

A disclosed information processing apparatus enables the output of various information managed by the apparatus in the form of a report adapted to user requirements in terms of format and output method, by generating report data based on data that is not dependent on any particular report output format or method. The information processing apparatus includes a data input unit, a data processing unit, a data output unit, and a user interface (UI). The data input unit generates data that is not dependent on any particular output format or output method, in accordance with report identifying information received via the UI. The data is processed by the data processing unit in accordance with an output format entered via the UI. The processed data is output by the data output unit in accordance with an output method entered via the UI.

An information processing apparatus includes a generating unit that, based on schema information defining a structure of an object, generates the object that has a duplicating function for generating a clone as a copy of self. There is a receiving unit that receives a generation request for generating the object and a requesting unit that requests generation of the clone to the object when the duplicating function of the object for which the generation request is received is determined to be available. Further, there is an output unit that outputs the clone generated by the object, whose duplicating function is determined to be available, to a source that has issued the generation request for generating the object.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer program product

A request receiving unit receives requested information input by a user. A corresponding-program acquiring unit acquires processing-program identification information corresponding to the requested information from a corresponding-program storing unit. A processing-program reading unit reads a processing program corresponding to the processing-program identification information from a processing-program storing unit. The request receiving unit acquires information corresponding to the requested information from the information storing unit by executing the processing program read by the processing-program reading unit.
