Description

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing system, and a program.

PDF (Portable Document Format) that enables printing processing to be executed without going through a specific application (printer driver, etc.) in an image processing device such as a copier or MFP (Multifunction Peripheral) that has a function to print an image read by a scanner. ) Data is being used.

For example, in a system that performs printing processing using print data (electronic document data) such as PDF data in which information indicating the data structure is described at the end of the data, the print data is edited into new print data for each page. A technique for transmitting reconstructed and edited print data to a printing apparatus is disclosed (Patent Document 1).

In the print data in which the information indicating the data structure is described at the end of the data as described above, the print data (combined print data) indicating the print contents of a plurality of pages in one file is transmitted to the printing device for printing. In this case, the printing device cannot start printing the first page (first page printing) until the reception of the data for all the pages is completed. Therefore, if the print data is divided and a plurality of print data (divided print data) indicating the print contents for one page are transmitted to the printing device in one file, the data for the divided print data on the first page can be received. When finished, the first page printing can be started. Therefore, when the interpretation process takes a long time, for example, when the number of pages to be printed is large, or when the resolution is high, the printing efficiency can be improved by using the divided print data.

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the combined print data is transferred to a device having a conversion function for converting the combined print data into the divided print data each time printing is executed, and the divided print data is generated. It is necessary to equip all terminals that request printing (PC (Personal Computer) operated by the user, etc.) with a conversion function. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation and the system configuration are complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to improve printing efficiency at the time of printing a plurality of pages without inviting complication of operation and system configuration.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, one embodiment of the present invention stores print data indicating print contents for a plurality of pages in a second storage device, and stores the print data for one page corresponding to the print data. A storage processing unit that stores a plurality of divided print data indicating the print contents of the above in a first storage device, a first receiving means for receiving the print data from the second storage device, and the first receiving means. The determination means for determining whether or not the print data received by the determination means contains the identification information, and the plurality of divisions indicated by the identification information when the determination means determines that the identification information is included. A print process for performing a print process based on a second receiving means for receiving print data from the first storage device based on the identification information and a plurality of divided print data received by the second receiving means. It is an image processing apparatus characterized by having means and means.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the printing efficiency at the time of printing a plurality of pages without inviting the complicated operation and system configuration.

When the user performs an operation of instructing the start of scanning via the user interface of the PC 11 or the MFP 12 (S101), the document scanning unit 151 drives the scanner 34 to scan the document (S102), and the image data of the image on the document is displayed. To generate. The document reading unit 151 transmits a scanning completion notification to the generation unit 153 after scanning all the documents (S103).

Upon receiving the reading completion notification, the generation unit 153 acquires the setting from the setting unit 152 (S104), and performs processing according to the setting. When the division print data (PDF data divided for each page, etc.) is set to be saved (see FIG. 7 or 8), the generation unit 153 (division print data generation unit 161) is operated by the document reading unit 151. Based on the generated image data, a plurality of divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 indicating the print contents for each page are generated (S105), and the divided print data 311 to 313, 321 are generated for the storage processing unit 154. Request to upload ~ 325 to the set save destination (file server 13 in this example) (S106). Upon receiving the upload request, the storage processing unit 154 uploads the divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 (divided print data group) to the file server 13 (S107). After that, the generation unit 153 (file group information generation unit 162) generates the file group information 210, 310 corresponding to the uploaded divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 (S108), and the storage processing unit 154. The file group information 210 and 310 are requested to be uploaded to the set save destination (file server 13 in this example) (S109). Upon receiving the upload request, the storage processing unit 154 uploads the file group information 210 and 310 to the file server 13 (S110).

After that, the generation unit 153 (combined print data generation unit 163) generates combined print data 251 indicating the print contents of all pages based on the image data generated by the document reading unit 151 (S111). At this time, the combined print data 251 incorporates identification information 355 that identifies a group of divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 corresponding to the combined print data 251. After that, the generation unit 153 requests the storage processing unit 154 to transmit the combined print data 251 to the PC 11 (S112), and when the storage processing unit 154 receives the request, the storage processing unit 154 transfers the combined print data 251 to the PC 11.

The analysis unit 182 starts an analysis for generating drawing data for the transferred combined print data 251 (S203).

The analysis unit 182 (detection unit 191) detects whether or not the combined print data 251 being analyzed contains the identification information 355. When the identification information 355 is detected in the combined print data 251 the analysis unit 182 stops the analysis for the combined print data 251 (S204), and the file group indicated by the identification information 355 detected for the acquisition unit 181. Request to acquire information 210 and 310 (S205). Upon receiving the request, the acquisition unit 181 acquires the file group information 210 and 310 from the file server 13 (S206). After that, the acquisition unit 181 acquires the divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 from the file server 13 in order from the first page based on the acquired file group information 210 and 310 (S207), and the acquired divided print data. 311 to 313, 321 to 325 are transferred to the analysis unit 182 (S208). The analysis unit 182 analyzes the transferred divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 (S209), generates drawing data for one page, and transmits it to the print unit 183 (S210). The steps S207 to S210 are repeated by the number of divided print data 311 to 313, 321 to 325 (the number of pages of the original). That is, when the combined print data 251 includes the identification information 355, printing is performed using the divided print data 311 to 313 and 321 to 325.

On the other hand, when the identification information 355 is not detected in the combined print data 251 the analysis unit 182 continues the analysis for the combined print data 251 and prints the drawing data generated after the analysis for all pages is completed. It is transmitted to 183 (S211). That is, when the combined print data 251 does not include the identification information 355, printing is performed using the combined print data 251.
