PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A processing apparatus externally receives a processing request and executes the requested processing. The processing apparatus transmits the result of the processing to a processing request source if a connection to the processing request source is maintained until the requested processing is executed. The processing apparatus stores the result of executing the processing in a memory if the connection to the processing request source is disconnected before the end of the requested processing. The processing apparatus transmits the processing result stored in the memory to the processing request source if the processing requested when the processing request is received is executed but is stored in the memory.
