Referring to FIG. 6, CPU 111 provided in MFP 4 functioning as a contracting apparatus includes a receiving unit 71 that receives request data, a data output unit 73 that outputs data included in the request data, and a program execution unit 75. ,including.

  The receiving unit 71 receives request data. Here, since the request data is transmitted by e-mail, when the contracting user inputs an operation for receiving the e-mail to the operation unit 115, the receiving unit 71 controls the data communication control unit 117 to receive the e-mail from the mail server 300. The electronic mail transmitted by the MFP 3 functioning as the requesting apparatus is received. The receiving unit 71 outputs data included in the business consignment job included in the request data to the data output unit 73, and outputs a reply program included in the request data to the program execution unit 75. Further, when receiving the e-mail, the receiving unit 71 displays a business consignment confirmation screen on the display unit 114 as a user interface with the contract user.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a business consignment confirmation screen. The business entrustment confirmation screen is included in the reply program and is transmitted from the MFP 3 as the requesting apparatus. Referring to FIG. 7, the business consignment confirmation screen displays a message “Consignment work has been received. Please press the following button when replying” and a button with the text “Return delivery data” displayed. Including. When a button indicating characters of “delivery data reply” is designated, a reply program included in the received request data is executed. After executing the requested processing, the contract user only has to display the business consignment confirmation screen on the display unit 114 again and indicate a button on which “delivery data reply” is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the data output unit 73 outputs the data included in the request data. Here, the data included in the business consignment job is electronic data of an answer sheet. For example, when the data output unit 73 receives a print instruction, the data output unit 73 causes the image forming unit 30 to form an image of the electronic data of the answer sheet. When an instruction to store electronic data is received, the electronic data of the answer sheet is recorded in the HDD 116. When receiving an instruction to transmit to another device such as a personal computer owned by the user, the electronic data of the answer sheet is transmitted to the other device via the data communication control unit 117. Here, a case where the contract user inputs a print instruction will be described as an example.

  The program execution unit 75 executes a reply program included in the request data. The program execution unit 75 executes a second program that is different from the first process, and a first process result acquisition unit 75 that acquires a first process result obtained as a result of executing the first process by executing a reply program.

And are formed.

  The first processing result acquisition unit 75 acquires the result of executing the requested processing on the data included in the requested data business consignment job as the first processing result. Then, the acquired first processing result is output to the first processing result transmission unit 83. Here, the requested processing is scoring of the answer sheet image-formed by the image forming unit 30. The contract user can score the answer sheet on which an image is formed by the data output unit 73. By causing the image reading unit 20 to read the answer sheet obtained as a result of scoring, the first processing result acquisition unit 75 acquires electronic data of the scored answer sheet output by the image reading unit 20.

  The first processing result acquisition unit 75 outputs the acquired electronic data of the scored answer sheet to the first processing result transmission unit 83. When the contracting user gives an instruction to store electronic data, or gives an instruction to send it to another device, the electronic data of the answer sheet after scoring is read from the HDD 116 or via the data communication control unit 117. The electronic data of the answer sheet after scoring is acquired by receiving from another device.

  When the contract key 115G of the operation unit 115 is pressed as an interface with the contract user, the first processing result acquisition unit 75 displays a first reply screen on the display unit 114. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the first reply screen. The first reply screen is included in the reply program and is transmitted from the MFP 3 that is the requesting apparatus. Referring to FIG. 8, the first reply screen has a message “Enter English data.” And three data input method options: scan, upload from PC, and data location specification. Including. When the scanning option is selected, the document image is read by the image reading unit 20, and electronic data of the answer sheet after scoring is acquired. When the upload option is selected from the PC, the electronic data of the answer sheet after scoring stored in the PC is uploaded. When a data location selection option is selected and the file name of the direct path assigned to the electronic data of the answer sheet stored in the HDD 116 is input, the data specified by the file name stored in the HDD 116 Is read out.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the second process result acquisition unit 81 acquires a process result of a process different from the process of executing the business consignment job as the second process result. Here, another processing is billing processing for a reward generated as a result of a business consignment job, and the billing processing result is acquired. Specifically, as a result of the billing process, billing data including a reward amount, a payment method for the reward, and the like are generated, and the billing data is acquired. The user creates a bill and causes the image reading unit 20 to read the bill, thereby obtaining billing data. The second processing result acquisition unit 81 outputs the billing data to the second processing result transmission unit 61.

  The second processing result acquisition unit 81 displays a second reply screen on the display unit 114 as an interface with the contract user. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the second reply screen. The second reply screen is included in the reply program and is transmitted from the MFP 3 as the requesting apparatus. Referring to FIG. 9, the second reply screen shows a message “Please enter invoice data.” And three data input methods: scanning, uploading from PC, and specifying data storage location. Including options. When the scanning option is selected, the original image is read by the image reading unit 20, and electronic data of the invoice is acquired. When the upload option is selected from the PC, the electronic data of the bill stored in the PC is uploaded. When a data location selection option is selected and the file name of the direct path assigned to the electronic data of the bill stored in the HDD 116 is input, the bill specified by the file name stored in the HDD 116 is entered. The document data is read out.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the second authentication information receiving unit 79 receives the authentication information when the input of the authentication information is a condition for transmitting the first processing result or the second processing result. Specifically, an authentication information input screen is displayed on the display unit 114, and authentication information input by the contract user to the operation unit 115 is accepted according to the authentication information input screen. The second authentication information receiving unit 79 outputs the received authentication information to the first processing result transmission unit 83 or the second processing result transmission unit 85.

  The first processing result transmission unit 83 transmits the first processing result input from the first processing result acquisition unit 75 to the transmission destination specified by the first transmission destination information included in the reply program. Here, the first processing result including the electronic data of the scored answer sheet is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the first transmission destination information. Specifically, the first processing result is output to the data communication control unit 117, and the data communication control unit 117 is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the first transmission destination information. When authentication information is requested for the first processing result, the authentication information input to the second authentication information receiving unit 79 is compared with the authentication information included in the reply program. The first processing result transmission unit 83 transmits the first processing result to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the first transmission destination information on condition that the two match.

  The second processing result transmission unit 85 transmits the second processing result input from the second processing result acquisition unit 81 to the transmission destination specified by the second transmission destination information included in the reply program. Here, the second processing result including the billing data is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the second transmission destination information. Specifically, the second processing result is output to the data communication control unit 117, and the data communication control unit 117 is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the second transmission destination information. When authentication information is requested for the second processing result, the authentication information input to the second authentication information receiving unit 79 is compared with the authentication information included in the reply program. The second processing result transmission unit 85 transmits the second processing result to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the second transmission destination information on condition that the two match.

  As described above, in MFP 4 functioning as a contracting apparatus, the contracting user only has to input the first processing result and the second processing result, and a transmission method for transmitting the first processing result and the second processing result. There is no need to set the destination address. For this reason, it is possible to simplify the operation of transmitting the first processing result and the second processing result, and it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such as transmission to an incorrect destination.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of request processing. The request process is a process executed by the CPU 111 provided in the MFP 3 when the CPU 111 provided in the MFP 3 functioning as a requesting apparatus executes the request program. The request program is a part of the data processing program.

  Referring to FIG. 10, CPU 111 displays a request destination list on display unit 114 (step S01). The request destination list is stored in advance in the HDD 116, and associates the name of the contract user, the transmission method, and the destination address. Then, it is determined whether or not a request destination has been selected (step S02). The process waits until the user inputs an instruction to select the name of the contracted user to the operation unit 115 (NO in step S02). When an instruction to select the name of the contracted user is input (YES in step S02), the process is performed. Proceed to step S03. In step S03, the transmission method and the destination address associated with the selected contract user name are accepted as the request destination (step S03), and the process proceeds to step S04.

  In step S04, data to be processed is requested. When the requested data to be processed is a document image formed on a sheet, the image reading unit 20 acquires the document image output by reading the document image from the image reading unit 20. When the PC 200 outputs data to be processed as print data, the data communication control unit 117 acquires print data received from the PC 200 from the data communication control unit 117. When data to be processed is stored in the HDD included in the PC 200, for example, the data communication control unit 117 receives the data from the PC 200 by the FTP communication procedure, and acquires the data from the data communication control unit 117. . When acquiring data corresponding to a plurality of request processes, a plurality of data corresponding to the plurality of request processes are acquired.

  In the next step S05, the reply destination list is displayed on the display unit 114. The reply destination list associates reply destination names, transmission methods, and destination addresses. Then, it is determined whether or not a reply destination has been selected (step S06). The process waits until the user inputs an instruction to select a reply destination name to the operation unit 115 (NO in step S06). When an instruction to select a reply destination name is input (YES in step S06), the process is performed. Proceed to step S07. In step S07, the transmission method and destination address associated with the selected reply destination name are accepted as the first transmission destination information, and the process proceeds to step S08.

  In step S08, it is determined whether authentication information has been accepted. An authentication information display screen is displayed on the display unit 114 to determine whether or not authentication information has been input. If authentication information is input, the process proceeds to step S09. If authentication information is not input, the process proceeds to step S10. In step S09, a first program with authentication conditions is generated, and the process proceeds to step S11. Specifically, on the condition that the authentication information input in step S08 is input, the computer transmits the data to the destination address by the transmission method included in the first transmission destination information received in step S07. A first program to be executed is described in a markup language. A first program describing a process for transmitting data may be stored in advance, and the transmission method and destination address may be rewritten. On the other hand, in step S10, a first transmission process is generated, and the process proceeds to step S11. Specifically, a first program for causing the computer to execute a process of transmitting data to the destination address by the transmission method included in the first destination information received in step S07 is described in a markup language.

  In the next step S11, the billing destination list is displayed on the display unit 114. The billing destination list associates a billing destination name, a transmission method, and a destination address. Then, it is determined whether or not a billing destination has been selected (step S12). The process waits until the user inputs an instruction to select the billing destination name to the operation unit 115 (NO in step S12). When the instruction to select the billing destination name is input (YES in step S12), the process is performed. Proceed to step S13. In step S13, the transmission method and destination address associated with the selected billing destination name are accepted as second transmission destination information, and the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, it is determined whether authentication information has been accepted. An authentication information display screen is displayed on the display unit 114 to determine whether or not authentication information has been input. If authentication information is input, the process proceeds to step S15. If authentication information is not input, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S15, a second program with an authentication condition is generated, and the process proceeds to step S17. Specifically, on the condition that the authentication information input in step S14 is input, the computer transmits the data to the destination address by the transmission method included in the second transmission destination information received in step S13. A second program to be executed by the program is described in a markup language. A program describing data transmission processing may be stored in advance, and the transmission method and destination address may be rewritten. On the other hand, in step S16, a second transmission process is generated, and the process proceeds to step S17. Specifically, a second program for causing the computer to execute a process of transmitting data to the destination address by the transmission method included in the second destination information received in step S13 is described in a markup language.

  In step S17, a reply program is generated, and the process proceeds to step S18. The reply program includes the first program generated in step S09 or step S10 and the second program generated in step S15 or step S16.

  Then, request data including the data acquired in step S04 and the reply program generated in step S17 is transmitted to the request destination accepted in step S03, and the process is terminated. Specifically, the request data is output to the data communication control unit 117, and the data communication control unit 117 is made to transmit it to the destination address by the transmission method included in the request destination.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of contract processing. The contract process is a process executed by the CPU 111 included in the MFP 4 when the CPU 111 included in the MFP 4 functioning as a contract apparatus executes a contract program. The contract program is a part of the data processing program.

  Referring to FIG. 11, CPU 111 determines whether request data has been received (step S21). It is determined whether or not the request data transmitted by the MFP 3 functioning as the requesting device has been received. The process waits until request data is received (NO in step S21). When request data is received (YES in step S21), the process proceeds to step S22. That is, the contract process is a process executed on condition that the request data is received.

  In step S22, data included in the request data is output. The output method follows an instruction that the contract user inputs to the MFP 4. If the contract user inputs a print instruction, the image forming unit 30 forms an image of the data, and if an instruction to store the data in the HDD 116 is input, an instruction to record the data in the HDD 116 and transmit it to another apparatus can be input. For example, the data is transmitted to another device via the data communication control unit 117.

  Then, it is determined whether a reply instruction has been accepted (step S23). The business commission confirmation screen shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 114, and when a button with the characters “delivery data reply” is designated, a reply instruction is accepted. The process waits until a reply instruction is accepted (NO in step S23). If a reply instruction is accepted, the process proceeds to step S24.

  In step S24, a reply program is executed, and the process proceeds to step S25. The reply process for executing the reply program will be described later. In step S25, it is determined whether the reply process is successful. If the reply process is successful, the process ends. If unsuccessful, the process proceeds to step S26. In step S26, an error process is executed and the process ends. In the error process, for example, an error message such as “Reply failed” is displayed on the display unit 114.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of reply processing. The reply process is a process executed by the CPU 111 when the reply program is executed by the CPU 111 in step S24 of FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 12, CPU 111 obtains the result of executing the requested process on the data included in the requested data as the first process result (step S31). The acquisition method is determined by an instruction input to the MFP 4 by the contract user. When the contracting user instructs scanning, the image reading unit 20 acquires data output by reading the document image as the first processing result. When the contracting user instructs reading data, the data read from the HDD 116 is acquired, and the data When uploading is instructed, data uploaded from another device is acquired.

  In the next step S32, it is determined whether or not an authentication condition is set. In the reply program, it is determined whether authentication information is associated with the first destination information indicating the destination of the first processing result. If the authentication information is associated, it is determined that the authentication condition is set, and the process proceeds to step S33. If not, the process proceeds to step S35.

  In step S <b> 33, an authentication information input screen is displayed on the display unit 114, and it is determined whether or not authentication information input by the contract user to the operation unit 115 is received. The process waits until authentication information is accepted (NO in step S33). If authentication information is accepted (YES in step S38), the process proceeds to step S34. In step S34, the received authentication information is compared with the authentication information associated with the first transmission information, and it is determined whether the verification is successful. If the two match, it is determined that the collation is successful, and the process proceeds to step S35. If not, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S35, the first processing result is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method included in the first transmission destination information.

  In the next step S36, it is determined whether or not billing data (second processing result) has been acquired. The method for obtaining the billing data is determined by an instruction input to the MFP 4 by the contract user. When the contracting user instructs scanning, the image reading unit 20 acquires data output by reading the document image as billing data. When the contracting user instructs data reading, the declaiming data read from the HDD 116 is acquired and billing data is acquired. When instructed to upload, the billing data uploaded from another device is acquired.

  In the next step S37, it is determined whether authentication conditions are set. In the reply program, it is determined whether authentication information is associated with the second destination information indicating the destination of the second processing result. If the authentication information is associated, it is determined that the authentication condition is set, and the process proceeds to step S38. If not, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S <b> 38, an authentication information input screen is displayed on display unit 114, and it is determined whether or not authentication information input by the contract user to operation unit 115 has been received. The process waits until authentication information is accepted (NO in step S38). If authentication information is accepted (YES in step S38), the process proceeds to step S39. In step S39, the received authentication information is compared with the authentication information associated with the second transmission information, and it is determined whether the verification is successful. If the two match, it is determined that the collation has succeeded, and the process proceeds to step S40. If not, the process proceeds to step S42. In step S40, the billing data (second processing result) is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method included in the second transmission destination information, and the process proceeds to step S41.

  In step S41, “OK” indicating that the return process is successful is set in the return value, and the process returns to the contract process. On the other hand, in step S42, “NG” indicating that the reply process has failed is set in the return value, and the process returns to the contract process.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which a process for creating an invoice is requested separately from a process for scoring an answer sheet. However, an answer sheet can be used without requesting a process for creating an invoice. Only the process of scoring may be requested.

  As described above, the data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the MFP 3 that functions as a requesting device that requests processing, and the MFP 4 that functions as a contracting device that returns a processing result of executing the processing. The functioning MFP 3 receives first transmission destination information indicating a destination to which the first processing result including the result data obtained as a result of executing the requested request processing is received, and the first processing result is set to the set first received information. A first program for causing a computer to execute a process to be transmitted to a transmission destination specified by one transmission destination information is generated, and a reply program including the first program is transmitted. On the other hand, when the MFP 4 functioning as the contracting apparatus receives the reply program and executes the reply program to acquire the first processing result obtained as a result of executing the received request process, the acquired first processing result is obtained. Is transmitted to the destination address by the transmission method specified by the first transmission information. Therefore, the MFP 3 that functions as the requesting device can set a return destination of the first processing result. Further, in the MFP 4 functioning as a contracting apparatus, it is only necessary to input the first transmission result, and it is not necessary to input the transmission method and the destination address. For this reason, it is possible to simplify the operation of transmitting the first processing result, and it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation of transmitting to the wrong destination.

  In addition, when receiving the authentication information, since the same authentication information as the authentication information is received, a process for transmitting to the transmission destination specified by the set first transmission destination information is generated. The processing result processed by a third party is not received by mistake. As a result, it is possible to reliably request processing.

  In addition, when electronic data of answer sheets for a plurality of subjects to be requested is acquired, a plurality of first items each indicating a destination to which a plurality of subjects are obtained as a result of scoring a plurality of subjects The transmission destination information is received, and a first program for causing the computer to execute a plurality of processes for transmitting the scoring results of a plurality of subjects to the transmission destinations specified by the plurality of first transmission destination information is generated. For this reason, the result of scoring the answer sheets of a plurality of subjects can be transmitted to different destinations.

  Also, the second transmission destination information indicating the destination to which the billing data obtained as a result of the bill issuing process is transmitted is received, and the processing for transmitting the billing data to the transmission destination specified by the second transmission destination information A second program to be executed is generated. For this reason, the destination to which the result of scoring the answer sheet is transmitted can be different from the destination to which the billing data is transmitted.

  Further, since the reply program is written in a markup language, the MFP 4 functioning as a contracting apparatus can execute the reply program even if a special program is not stored as long as the browser program is installed. .

  Although the data processing system 1 has been described in the present embodiment, a data processing method for executing the processing shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 and a data processing program for causing a computer to execute the data processing method It goes without saying that the invention can be understood as.

  The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
