Information processing device, information processing system, and recording medium

摘要

In an information processing device connected to an external device via a network, the external device includes an application platform of an image forming device and the information processing device includes a platform emulator that emulates the application platform. The platform emulator includes an implementing information acquiring part that receives a list of information items of interfaces implemented on the application platform in the external device from the external device and stores the list of information items in a holding part, a determining part that determines, in response to an interface calling request from an application using the platform emulator, whether an interface is implemented in the external device based on the stored list of information items, and an external calling part that transmits, when the interface is implemented, a request of execution of the interface to the external device.

主权项

1. An information processing system, comprising:
a platform development device including a program including application programming interfaces called by applications of an image forming device; and an application development device connected to the platform development device via a network, the application development device including an emulator that emulates a process performed by the image forming device caused by the program, the emulator including circuitry configured to:
receive implementation information indicating application programming interfaces implemented in the program of the platform development device from the platform development device via the network;determine, in response to an interface calling request from an application that uses the emulator, whether an application programming interface is implemented in the platform development device based on the received implementation information;transmit a request of execution of the application programming interface to the platform development device via the network when a result of the determination indicates that the application programming interface is implemented in the platform development device; andperform emulation of the application programming interface called by the application when the result of the determination indicates that the application programming interface is not implemented in the platform development device.
