PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a load on an application server by controlling a communication path established between a communication relay device and the application server.SOLUTION: A communication relay device 3 configured to relay communication between an image processor 4 and an application server 8 sets a communication path 11 between the communication relay device and the application server 8 as a job is generated in the image processor 4 or the application server 8, and transmits and receives job data 14 via the set communication path 11 between the communication relay device and the application server 8. When a new job is generated in the image processor 4 or the application server 8 in a state that the communication path 11 is already established between the communication relay device and the application server 8, the communication relay device 3 sets either the new communication path 11 or the existing communication path 11 as a communication path for transmitting and receiving the job data 14 of the new job.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
