An information processing apparatus includes: a reliability determination unit that determines reliability required for processing a processing target based on the processing target; a processing determination unit that makes a comparison between the reliability determined by the reliability determination unit and reliability of a processing main body and determines whether or not the processing main body can be caused to process the processing target; a processing target change unit that changes the processing target so as to change the reliability of the processing target if the processing determination unit determines that the processing main body cannot be caused to process the processing target; and a processing request unit that requests the processing main body to process the processing target changed by the processing target change unit.

Information processing apparatus to process a processing target, information method, and computer readable medium

An information processing device includes an image forming device, an execution sub-job determining unit, a sub-job execution destination determining unit and an execution instructing unit. The image forming device is designated as a destination and executes at least a sub-job executed N-th as the last sub-job out of N sub-jobs in a case where a job is divided into N sub-jobs. The execution sub-job determining unit determines a sub-job other than the executed N-th sub-job within a range of the occupiable time of the image forming device in a case where there is an available capacity in the image forming device. The sub-job execution destination determining unit determines the execution destination of each sub job. The execution instructing unit instructs a calculation resource to execute the first to (i&#x2212;1)-th sub-jobs and instructs the image forming device to execute the i-th to N-th sub-jobs.

Method of optimizing job distribution process by analysis of transmission time and processing time

An image processing apparatus according to an aspect of the invention includes a first storage unit, a second storage unit, a control unit, and a construction unit. A program of at least one module including a buffer module among modules of an image processing unit is stored in the first storage unit. An image processing program and a shared library can be additionally stored in the second storage unit. The image processing program is used to perform image processing and a program of a module generation unit is registered in the shared library. The control unit instructs at least one module in the image processing unit to perform image processing during construction of the image processing unit. The construction unit constructs the image processing unit.

Image processing apparatus, storage medium in which image processing program is stored, and image processing method

An image processing device including a storage section, a parallel processing controller, a sequential processing controller, and a selection section which selectively operates the two control sections. The parallel processing controller connects one or more of the image processing modules such that first buffer modules are connected at least one of preceding and following each image processing module, to formulate a first image processing section, and controls such that individual image processing modules perform image processing in parallel with one another. The first buffer modules perform exclusive access control. The sequential processing controller connects one or more of the image processing modules such that second buffer modules are connected at least one of preceding and following each image processing module, to formulate a second image processing section, and controls such that the individual image processing modules perform image processing sequentially. The second buffer modules do not perform exclusive access control.

Image processing device and method and storage medium storing program

An image processing device including an image processing section having one or more image processing modules and buffer modules having a buffer is provided. The buffer module, recognizes a number of image processing modules which are connected at the following stage of its own module; stores, for each of the following image processing modules, a head position of un-read image data among image data which is stored in the buffer; and each time image data is requested from an following image processing module, causes the image processing module to read, in a read data amount which is set in advance for its own module at each of the individual following image processing modules or which is designated each time of the request, image data which is stored in the buffer, from the head position corresponding to the image processing module.

Image processing device, method, and storage medium which stores a program

An image processing section of an image processing device is constructed by plural image processing modules being connected in a pipeline form, such that a buffer module is connected at at least one of preceding and following stages of each module. A buffer control section of the buffer module: when image data is outputted from the preceding image processing module, causes the module to write, immediately or after completion of reading, based on weather the following image processing module is reading data from the buffer; and when image data is requested from the following image processing module, causes the module to read, immediately or after completion of writing, based on weather the preceding image processing module is writing data to the buffer.

An image processing device has an image processing section. The image processing section has one or more image processing modules and one or more buffer modules. Each image processing module has an image processing engine and a control section. The image processing engine carries out an image processing on image data in units of a unit processing data amount. The control section inputs the image data to the image processing engine. The one or more image processing modules is selected from a plurality of the image processing modules for carrying out the image processing by the image processing engine, and the buffer module is connected to at least one of an image processing module which is selected.

An image processing device including an image processing section having: one or more image processing modules, each image processing module having an image processing engine and a control section; and one or more buffer modules having a buffer for storing image data. The image processing module is realized by a program, which corresponds to the image processing engine, and a program, which corresponds to the control section, being executed by a CPU of the image processing device, and a portion of or an entirety of the program corresponding to the control section is used in common for, among the plurality of types of image processing modules, image processing modules whose units of writing image data to the buffer of the buffer module connected at the following stage of its own module are the same.

In a pipeline process in which plural image processing sections (image processing modules), for example, an image inputting section, a histogram producing section, and a binarizing sectionare connected in a pipeline manner, each of the image processing sections, andis provided with a function of reinitializing a state to cause each process to be again performed with being started from the beginning of an image, whereby image data to be processed can be reread.
