  The status update request issuing unit 413 changes the job status of the print job managed in the cloud print service 102.

  This job status indicates the processing status of the print job. For example, the print job is input to the cloud print service 102 (QUEUED), the print job is being processed (IN_PROGRESS), and the print job is printed. For example, the process is interrupted (STOPPED), the print job print process is completed (DONE), or the print job print process is canceled (ABRTED).

  The printer status determination unit 414 determines whether or not a print job can be printed to the multifunction device 106. If the print job can be printed, the printer status determination unit 414 downloads the print job from the cloud print service 102 and then sends the print job to the multifunction device 106. Do the input.

  The job download unit 415 receives a print job from the cloud print service 102 based on the print job information, and the job print unit 416 prints out the print job.

  Next, the printing process in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S <b> 501, the job reception unit 401 receives, from the client PC 104, a print job generated when the user designates a file or the like desired to be printed and issues a print instruction on the client PC 104.

  In step S502, the job management unit 402 stores the print job received in step S501 in a queue (not shown).

  In step S503, the job conversion unit 403 converts the print job stored in step S502 into a format (for example, PDF or raster data) that can be printed by the multi-function peripheral 106.

  The multifunction device 106 may be an arbitrarily configured multifunction device 106 when performing user registration with the cloud print service 102, or is selected by the client PC 104 from a plurality of multifunction devices 106 that can be used by the user. The multifunction machine 106 may be used.

  These multifunction devices 106 are registered in the cloud print service 102 in advance.

  In step S504, an event indicating that there is a print job that can be printed is issued and notified to the multifunction peripheral 106.

  In step S505, the event reception unit 411 receives the event notification transmitted from the cloud print service 102 in step S504.

  In step S506, the job management unit 412 stores the print job information included in the event received in step S505 (refer to FIG. 6 for details).

  In step S507, the status update request issuing unit 413 requests the cloud print service 102 to change the job status (for example, OFFLINE notification) regarding the notification in step S605 or step S606.

  In step S508, the job status change receiving unit 406 receives the job status update request received from the multi-function peripheral 106 in step S507, and sets the job status according to the received content. For example, when an OFFLINE notification is made, the MFP 106 manages that it is in an OFFLINE state.

  In step S509, the printer status determination unit 414 confirms that the print processing of the print job is in an executable state, and then the job download unit 415 downloads the print job to the cloud print service 102. Do.

  The job status change accepting unit 406 receives a job status update request for the print job that has undergone the printing process, and sets the job status according to the received content (see FIG. 7 for details).

  In step S <b> 510, the job transmission unit 405 receives a request from the multifunction device 106 and returns a print job (printable data format). Note that the process of step S510 is performed during the process of step S509.

  In step S511, the job print unit 416 executes processing for printing all print jobs transmitted from the cloud print service 102 in step S510.

  In step S512, the status update request issuing unit 413 requests the cloud print service 102 to change the job status (for example, DONE) of each print job according to the print result.

  In step S513, the job status change accepting unit 406 receives the job status update request received from the multi-function peripheral 106, and sets the job status according to the received content.

  Next, job management processing will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S <b> 601, the job management unit 412 analyzes an event received from the cloud print service 102 and acquires information necessary for downloading a print job (printable format) from the cloud print service 102.

  In step S <b> 602, the job management unit 412 confirms whether there is an area for storing print job information related to the print job in the unique queue (see FIG. 8) managed in the multifunction device 106.

  FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the unique queue. The print job included in the event received from the cloud print service 102 from the top (in the figure, from the first to the second, the third,...). Store information.

  The print job information includes, for example, a job ID that uniquely identifies a print job received from the cloud print service 102, a user name of the print job instructed to print from the client PC 104, a print setting, and a storage location of the cloud print service 102 From the URL for downloading the print job.

  In consideration of limiting the data capacity in the multifunction device 106, the unique queue is also limited in events to be registered.

  When a print job is downloaded from the cloud print service 102 and is ready for printing in the multifunction device 106, the print job information corresponding to the print job is dequeued from the unique queue.

  In step S603, if there is an area for storing print job information in the unique queue, the job management unit 412 checks whether the same print job information, that is, print job information having the same job ID has already been stored.

  In step S604, the job management unit 412 stores the print job information in the unique queue.

  In step S605, the status update request issuing unit 413 notifies the cloud print service 102 of a request to change the job status of the print job to “IN_PROGRESS”.

  This change prevents the cloud print service 102 from issuing an event for this print job.

  In addition, when there is a preceding print job whose job status is being processed, a notification is received that an event will not be issued for a newly accepted print job (for example, in addition to the job status described above, the job status Change from QUE to PROCESS).

  In step S606, if there is no free space in the unique queue, the cloud print service 102 is temporarily notified not to issue an event for any more print jobs.

  As this notification, there is a notification for stopping issuance of an unnecessary event, for example, a method for notifying that the multi-function peripheral 106 itself is OFFLINE.

  Next, printer status determination processing will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is repeated for all print jobs stored in the unique queue.

  In step S701, the printer status determination unit 414 checks the free state of the printing memory of the multi-function peripheral 106. If it is determined that there is a free space, the process proceeds to step S702. The process proceeds to step S708.

  In step S <b> 702, the printer status determination unit 414 checks the status of the output device such as the photosensitive drum of the multifunction machine 106, checks whether the print job can be printed, and can execute the printing process. If it is determined that it is in a state, the process proceeds to step S703. If it is not determined that the print process is executable, the process proceeds to step S708.

  In step S703, the printer status determination unit 414 dequeues from the unique queue, and acquires the job ID and download URL of the print job.

  In step S704, the job download unit 415 acquires a print job from the cloud print service 102 based on the job ID acquired in step S703 and the download URL.

  In step S <b> 705, the job print unit 416 generates a print job in a format that can be printed on the multifunction peripheral 106 based on the print job acquired in step S <b> 704, and inputs the print job to the multifunction peripheral 106.

  In step S706, the printer status determination unit 414 checks the status of the MFP 106 on the cloud print service 102 in which event reception from the cloud print service 102 is stopped when the unique queue is stored to the maximum. .

  In step S707, when the event reception from the cloud print service 102 is in a stopped state, the status update request issuing unit 413 makes a transition to a state so that the event reception can be performed again. The notification for receiving the event again (for example, recovering OFFLINE) is notified to the cloud print service 102 again.

  In step S708, if either the print memory or the output device status of the multifunction peripheral is invalid, the printer status determination unit 414 re-executes the printer status determination processing after a predetermined time.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, when a print job that is currently being printed is input, the MFP performs a process of accepting the issue of an event. However, when an arbitrary print job starts or ends from the beginning. It is also possible to perform a process of accepting event issuance.
