Information processing apparatus and information processing method

摘要

An information processing apparatus, which stores attribute data of a job executed by an image processing apparatus, and reference information of image data associated with the job in a storage device as a job log, saves image data corresponding to reference information in the storage device as cached data. Then, the apparatus acquires image data corresponding to reference information included in a job log from the cached data in the storage device, and outputs a job log appended with the acquired image data to an external system.

1. An information processing apparatus, which processes job logs corresponding to jobs executed by an image processing apparatus, said information processing apparatus comprising:
a reception unit configured to receive a job log corresponding to a job executed by the image processing apparatus; a saving unit configured to save, when attribute data of a first job log received by the reception unit indicates an input job, image data included in the first job log as cached data corresponding to reference information of image data associated with the job; an output unit configured to output a job log received by the reception unit to an external system; and an acquisition unit configured to acquire, when attribute data of a second job log received by the reception unit does not indicate the input job but indicates an output job, image data corresponding to reference information included in the second job log from the cached data, wherein the saving unit is configured to save the image data included in the first job log as the cached data before the first job log is output to the external system by the output unit, wherein the output unit is configured to output the second job log, the image data acquired by the acquisition unit being appended with the second job log, and wherein said input job is a job by which the image processing apparatus acquires data for one or more subsequent output jobs.
