Abstract
An image processing server in charge of a first image processing operation determines a reference value for a reference item; generates first reference information; calculates its charge; generates first charge information indicating its calculated amount of charge; and transmits the first reference information and the first charge information to the next location, separately from image data obtained by the first image processing operation. An image processing server in charge of a second image processing operation calculates its charge based on the reference value determined by the image processing server in charge of the first image processing operation; generates second charge information indicating its calculated charge; and transmits this second charge information, the first reference information and first charge information generated by the image processing server in charge of the first image processing operation, to the next location, separately from image data obtained by the second image processing operation.
