IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING THEREIN CONTROL PROGRAM FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

An image processing apparatus which can execute an image process which is desired by a client while minimizing a connection time and an interactive communication between the client and the image processing apparatus is provided. To accomplish the above object, according to the invention, there is provided an image processing apparatus for receiving an agent including an operation train via a network and allowing an image processing unit to execute image processes. This apparatus is constructed to include: a control unit for controlling the image processing unit; an interpreting unit for interpreting the operation train of the agent; and a message output unit for outputting a message to the control unit in response to the operation train interpreted by the interpreting unit.
