An information processing system is proposed. A manager manages a workflow defined by combining units of processing and generates a job to execute the workflow. A memory provides the manager to store a status of each unit of processing according to the job. Plural processors each executes a corresponding unit of processing. A processing request storage provides the manager to store a unit of processing as an execution request. A processing result storage provides each processor to store a processing result of a corresponding unit of processing after extracting the unit of processing from the processing request storage and executing the unit of processing. At a predetermined timing or when the information processing system is restarted after an occurrence of an error, an output unit outputs information indicating a status of a corresponding unit of processing, based on storage statuses of the processing request storage and the processing result storage.

Information processing system and apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

A job execution apparatus includes: a receiving unit configured to receive each job; a calculation unit configured to calculate an index value representing a load needed to execute each of a pre-processing sub-job and a post-processing sub-job when each of n jobs (n is a natural number equal to or more than 2) is decomposed into a pre-processing sub-job for generating information, and a post-processing sub-job for causing an output unit to output information generated by executing the pre-processing sub-job; a pre-processing execution unit configured to sequentially execute pre-processing sub-jobs which are respectively included in jobs received by the receiving unit and registered in a pre-processing sub-job queue; and a post-processing execution unit configured to sequentially execute, upon completion of the pre-processing sub-jobs, post-processing sub-jobs which are respectively included in the received jobs and which are registered in a post-processing sub-job queue.

A storage part stores correspondence information on incorporation or change in processing sequence of processing elements. An acquiring part acquires a target processing element group. An extracting part extracts the correspondence information on the processing elements included in the target processing element group. An incorporation determining part determines a set of processing elements to be incorporated in the target processing element group on the basis of the information on the incorporation of the correspondence information. An updating part updates the processing elements included in the target processing element group and the correspondence information of the processing elements included in the target processing element group based on the set of processing elements. A processing sequence determining part determines the processing sequence of the processing elements included in the target processing element group updated on the basis of the information on the change in processing sequence in the correspondence information updated.

Information processing device, information processing method and computer readable medium for determining a processing sequence of processing elements

A sender devicestores, in header information about image information, information indicating that attribute information and image data rearranged in sequence, and produces image information by means of storing attribute information and image data in a predetermined sequence. The thus-produced image information is sent to a receiver deviceby way of a network lineWhen receipt of image information is initiated, the receiver devicerefers to the header information, thereby determining presence/absence, in the header information, of information indicating that attribute information and image data are stored in a predetermined sequence. When it has been determined that attribute information and image data are arranged in a predetermined sequence, image data included in the received image information are immediately decompressed, and the thus-decompressed image data are output in the form of a record or display.

Image information processing apparatus, and computer-readable recording medium

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.

Image processing apparatus and image process method

An image of an original document supplied from a scanner portion or the like is, in an attribute-determining portion, subjected to a process for determining whether each pixel is a character pixel or a picture pixel. Thus, separating information is transmitted to a two-layer separating portion and transmitted to a resolution converting portion as data of a separating information plane. The two-layer separating portion separates the image of the original document into a character information plane and a picture information plane in accordance with separating information. The resolution converting portion has a plurality of resolution converting methods. In accordance with transmission attribute information supplied from outside, a transmission-attribute-information recognizing portion selects a resolution converting method independently for each plane. The resolution converting portion uses the selected resolution converting method to subject each plane to the resolution converting process. Each plane submitted to the resolution conversion is formatted in an image-format-lapping portion so as to be transmitted from a transmitting portion through a network.
