INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR PROCESSING INFORMATION, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

An information processing system that includes at least one information processing apparatus and executes programs, each of which performs a predetermined process, the information processing system including a memory unit configured to store, for each of applications performing a sequence of processes using electronic data, program identification information identifying at least one program performing each process of the sequence of processes, flow information defining an execution order of the at least one program, and app identification information identifying each of the applications, while associating the program identification information, the flow information, and the app identification information, a registering unit, and a process executing unit, in receipt of a request including information related to the electronic data and the app identification information from a second apparatus, configured to cause the program identified by the program identification information in accordance with the execution order defined in the flow information.

主权项

1. An information processing system including at least one information processing apparatus and executing a plurality of programs, each of which performs a predetermined process, the information processing system comprising:
a memory unit configured to store, for each of applications performing a sequence of processes using electronic data,
program identification information identifying at least one program, which is from among the plurality of programs and performs each process of the sequence of processes,flow information defining an execution order of the at least one program, andapp identification information identifying each of the applications,while associating the program identification information, the flow information, and the app identification information; a registering unit, in response to generation of flow information of the sequence of processes to be executed by a selected application selected by a user from among the applications on a first screen displayed in a first apparatus from among the at least one apparatus coupled to the information processing system using the program identification information and a user operation for defining the execution order, configured to cause the generated flow information and the app identification information for identifying the selected application to be stored in the memory unit while associating the generated flow information and the app identification information, and a process executing unit, in receipt of a request including information related to the electronic data used for the sequence of processes and the app identification information from a second apparatus from among the at least one apparatus, configured to cause the program identified by the program identification information defined in the flow information in accordance with the execution order defined in the flow information to perform the sequence of processes based on the information related to the electronic data.
