The storage address is the destination information of the online storage used by the user. The value of the storage address may be a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), for example. Note that the storage address of each user may be different or common. FIG. 5 shows an example in which each user can use a different storage address.

  The user information management unit 42 returns the storage information acquired from the user information storage unit 43 to the application data transmission unit 13. The application data transmission unit 13 receives the storage information (S104). Subsequently, the application data transmission unit 13 transmits (uploads) the application data included in the print request to the storage server 50 specified based on the storage address included in the storage information (S105). At this time, the application data transmission unit 13 acquires an access right to the storage server 50 based on the storage account included in the storage information. As a result, the application data is stored in a storage destination (for example, a folder) corresponding to the storage account.

  Subsequently, the job information generation unit 14 generates job information related to the print request received in step 101, and stores the generated job information in the job information storage unit 112 (S106).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the job information storage unit. As shown in FIG. 6, the job information storage unit 112 stores job information including a job ID, a user ID, a print data ID, an application data ID, and the like for each print request.

  The job ID is identification information assigned for each job information. The job ID may be generated by the job information generation unit 14 in step S106, for example. The user ID is a user ID included in the print request related to the job information. The print data ID is print data identification information generated with respect to the print request related to the job information.

For example, the application data ID may be a URL. The print data ID is specified in step S102. The application data ID is specified in step S105.

  After the execution of the processing in FIG. 4, the user can move to one of the image forming apparatuses 20 and cause the image forming apparatus 20 to execute a print job related to application data that is the target of the print instruction.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the image forming apparatus in response to an operation by the user.

  For example, a login screen is displayed on the operation panel of the image forming apparatus 20. For example, when authentication information such as a user ID and a password is input by the user via the login screen, the login control unit 21 performs an authentication process on the authentication information (S201). For example, an authentication request including authentication information is transmitted from the login control unit 21 to the authentication server 40. The authentication unit 41 of the authentication server 40 performs authentication processing by checking the authentication information included in the authentication request with the user ID and password included in the user information stored in the user information storage unit 43. Run. The authentication server 40 returns the authentication result to the login control unit 21.

  If the authentication result indicates successful authentication (Yes in S202), the job list acquisition unit 22 includes a job list acquisition request including a user ID that has been successfully authenticated (hereinafter referred to as a “login user ID”). Is transmitted to the print server 10 (S203). In response to the acquisition request, a job list including job information including the login user ID is returned from the print server 10. Upon receiving the job list (S204), the job list acquisition unit 22 displays the job list on the operation panel of the image forming apparatus 20 (S205).

  When one or more pieces of job information are selected from the job list and a print job execution instruction is input (Yes in S206), the print data request unit 23 includes the job ID of the selected job information. A print data acquisition request is transmitted to the print server 10 (S207). When print data returned from the print server 10 in response to the acquisition request is received by the print data request unit 23 (S208), the job execution unit 24 sends a print job relating to the received print data to the image forming apparatus 20. (S209).

  Next, a processing procedure executed by the print server 10 in response to a job list acquisition request transmitted from the image forming apparatus 20 in step S203 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the print server in response to a job list acquisition request.

  In step S301, the job list reply unit 15 receives a job list acquisition request. Subsequently, the job list reply unit 15 acquires job information including the user ID included in the acquisition request from the job information storage unit 112 (S302). Subsequently, the job list reply unit 15 returns a job list constituted by the acquired job information to the image forming apparatus 20 that has transmitted the job list acquisition request (S303).

  Next, a processing procedure executed by the print server 10 in response to a print data acquisition request transmitted from the image forming apparatus 20 in step S207 in FIG. 7 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the print server in response to a print data acquisition request.

  In step S401, the data acquisition unit 16 receives a print data acquisition request. The acquisition request includes a job ID. Hereinafter, the job ID is referred to as “target job ID”.

  Subsequently, the data acquisition unit 16 refers to the job information related to the target job ID (hereinafter referred to as “target job information”) among the job information stored in the job information storage unit 112, and the target job ID. It is determined whether the print data corresponding to is stored in the print data storage unit 111 (S402). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a value is set for the print data ID of the target job information. When a print job related to the target job information has not been executed, a value is set in the print data ID of the target job information.

  When a value is set in the print data ID of the target job information (hereinafter referred to as “target print data ID”) (Yes in S402), the data acquisition unit 16 prints the print data related to the target print data ID. Obtained from the data storage unit 111 (S404). Subsequently, the print data transmission unit 17 returns the print data to the image forming apparatus 20 that has transmitted the print data acquisition request (S405). Subsequently, the print data deletion unit 18 deletes the print data related to the target print data ID from the print data storage unit 111 and sets the value of the print data ID from the target job information stored in the job information storage unit 112. Delete (S406).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of job information from which the value of the print data ID has been deleted. In FIG. 10, the job information with the job ID “2” corresponds to the job information from which the value of the print data ID is deleted.

  In this way, the print data relating to the job information targeted for the print job is deleted. However, the job information remains stored in the job information storage unit 112 without being deleted. Therefore, when the process of FIG. 8 is executed again, the job information is returned to the image forming apparatus 20 in the job list. That is, the job information can be selected again as a print job execution target. When a print data acquisition request is received by the data acquisition unit 16 regarding such job information, it is determined in step S403 that no value is set for the print data ID of the target job information (No in S402). ).

  In this case, the same processing as steps S103 and S104 of FIG. 4 is executed by the data acquisition unit 16 based on the user ID included in the target job information (S406, S407). As a result, storage information for the user ID is acquired.

  Subsequently, the data acquisition unit 16 acquires (downloads) application data corresponding to the application data ID included in the target job information from the storage server 50 associated with the storage address included in the storage information (S408). ). At this time, the data acquisition unit 16 acquires an access right to the storage server 50 based on the storage account included in the storage information. Subsequently, the print data generation unit 12 generates print data for the acquired application data (S409). Subsequently, the print data transmission unit 17 returns the generated print data to the image forming apparatus 20 that is the transmission source of the print data acquisition request (S410).

  In the above step S405, for the sake of convenience, an example in which the values of the print data and the target print data ID are deleted in response to the return of the print data has been described. However, such deletion is performed for a print job in the image forming apparatus 20. It may be done waiting for completion. Alternatively, such deletion may be performed periodically. When the deletion is periodically performed, flag information indicating that the print job has been executed may be added to the job information targeted for the print job. The print data deleting unit 18 periodically refers to the job information stored in the job information storage unit 112 and determines whether there is job information to which such flag information is assigned. When there is corresponding job information, the print data deletion unit 18 deletes the print data related to the print data ID of the job information from the print data storage unit 111 and deletes the value of the print data ID of the job information.

  By executing the processing procedure described with reference to FIG. 9, for example, after the user causes the image forming apparatus 20 to execute a print job related to job information related to certain application data, the storage server that stores the application data is stored. 50, the application data can be edited. After that, when the user selects the job information as the target of the print job again, print data is generated for the edited application data (that is, application data whose contents are partly or entirely different from the previous data). Print job. In other words, the user can cause the image forming apparatus 20 to execute a print job for the application data without editing the application data using the client terminal 30 again.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the convenience relating to the output form in which the output target in the device (image forming apparatus 20) is selected from the data (application data) stored in the storage device (storage server 50). Can be improved.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the application data is stored in the storage server 50, so that consumption (pressure) of the storage capacity in the print server 10 can be suppressed.
