Job processing system, job processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium

摘要

A job processing system includes first and second job processing apparatuses. The first job processing apparatus includes the followings. A first calculation unit calculates first estimated completion time expected if the job is processed by the first job processing apparatus. A first transmission unit transmits the job and the first estimated completion time. The second job processing apparatus includes the followings. A reception unit receives the job and the first estimated completion time. The second calculation unit calculates second estimated completion time expected if the job is processed by the second job processing apparatus. The discarding unit discards the job if the first estimated completion time is earlier than the second estimated completion time. The notification unit notifies the first job processing apparatus of start of processing if the first estimated completion time is later than the second estimated completion time. The processed job transmission unit transmits the processed job.

主权项

1. A job processing system comprising:
a first job processing apparatus; and a second job processing apparatus connected to the first job processing apparatus via a communication line, the first job processing apparatus including
a first calculation unit that calculates, in a case where a job to be processed occurs in the first job processing apparatus, first estimated completion time for a case where the job is processed by the first job processing apparatus, anda first transmission unit that transmits at least the job and the first estimated completion time to the second job processing apparatus, and the second job processing apparatus including
a reception unit that receives the job and the first estimated completion time from the first job processing apparatus,a second calculation unit that calculates second estimated completion time for a case where the received job is processed by the second job processing apparatus,a discarding unit that discards the received job in a case where the first estimated completion time is earlier than the second estimated completion time,a notification unit that starts processing the received job in a case where the first estimated completion time is later than the second estimated completion time and that notifies the first job processing apparatus that processing of the received job has been started, anda processed job transmission unit that transmits the processed job to the first job processing apparatus in response to completion of the processing of the received job.
