Information processing apparatus and computer-readable medium for virtualizing an image processing apparatus

摘要

An information processing apparatus is connected via a network to both an MFP and a virtual-space management server that manages a virtual space that contains a virtual device that is created by virtualizing the MFP. The information processing apparatus includes a display control unit that displays map information on a display unit, wherein a device symbol that corresponds to the MFP is present in the map information at a position corresponding to the position of the MFP in the real world; a receiving unit that receives a selected device symbol in the map information; an output control unit that outputs image data to either a first data storage unit of the MFP that corresponds to the selected device symbol or to a second data storage unit for the virtual device that is created by virtualizing the MFP and corresponds to the selected device symbol.

主权项

1. An information processing apparatus that is connected to both an image processing apparatus and a virtual-space management device via a network, wherein
the image processing apparatus includes a first data storage unit of a multipurpose peripheral, and the virtual-space management device manages a virtual space that contains a virtual device that is created by virtualizing the image processing apparatus and includes a second data storage unit for the virtual device, the information processing apparatus comprising: a display control unit that displays map information on a display unit, wherein a device symbol that corresponds to the image processing apparatus is present at a position corresponding to a position of the image processing apparatus in a real world; a receiving unit that receives a selection of the device symbol in the map information; and an output control unit that outputs image data to the first data storage unit of the image processing apparatus that corresponds to the selected device symbol if the first data storage unit is a selected designation for the image data, and outputs the image data to the second data storage unit for the virtual device that is created by virtualizing the image processing apparatus and corresponds to the selected device symbol, if the second data storage unit is the selected designation for the image data.
