Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a reading job acception section that accepts a reading job; a determination section that, in a case where the reading job acception section accepts a one page reading job subsequent to a previous one page reading job, determines an identity between the reading job and the previously accepted reading job; and a processing section that, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists as a result of determination of the determination section, processes the reading jobs as one reading job.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a reading job acception processor that accepts a reading job;
a determination processor that, in a case where the reading job acception processor accepts a one page reading job subsequent to a previous one page reading job, determines an identity between the reading job and the previously accepted reading job; and
a control processor that, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists as a result of determination of the determination processor, processes the reading jobs as one reading job,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job does not exist as the result of the determination of the determination processor, the control processor rejects the reading job.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the determination processor holds end of the previously accepted reading job for predetermined time.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the determination processor determines the identity with the accepted reading job in the predetermined time.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where the determination processor determines that the identity with the accepted reading job does not exist in predetermined time, the control processor rejects the reading job.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists, the control processor stores history as one reading job.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists, the control processor stores history as one reading job.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists, the control processor stores history as one reading job.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists, the control processor stores history as one reading job.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists, the control processor stores history as one reading job.

10. An image reading apparatus comprising:
an automatic document sending device that sends a document;
a document reading processor that reads a document, which is sent by the automatic document sending device, or a placed document; and
an information processing apparatus that processes information of reading job which is executed by the document reading processor,
wherein the information processing apparatus includes,
a reading job acception processor that accepts a reading job;
a determination processor that, in a case where the reading job acception processor accepts a one page reading job subsequent to a previous one page reading job, determines an identity between the reading job and the previously accepted reading job; and
a control processor that, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists as a result of determination of the determination processor, processes the reading jobs as one reading job,
wherein, in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job does not exist as the result of the determination of the determination processor, the control processor rejects the reading job.

11. The image reading apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein the determination processor determines whether or not a document reading by the automatic document sending device is set to a requested reading job.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
accepting a reading job;
determining an identity between the reading job and a previously accepted reading job in a case where one page reading job is accepted subsequent to the previous one page reading job;
processing the reading jobs as one reading job in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job exists; and
rejecting the reading job in a case where it is determined that the identity with the previously accepted reading job does not exist.
