Cooperation instruction information creation device and cooperation instruction information creation method for document services on a network

摘要

Even if there exists use restriction in each of devices on a network, cooperation instruction information is created to enable execution of a cooperative processing. A script creation server performs user authentication of a client terminal and acquires user information. Next, the script creation server makes a retrieval request to a service retrieval server for services which the user can use at present, and transmits user information, and then, acquires a service list. When judging that a service is selected as one of structural elements of a job flow, the script creation server causes the user information to reflect the cost and the like required to perform the selected service. Then, the script creation server judges whether the job flow is completed, and creates a script on the basis of information relating to the job flow and inputted function information when it is judged that the job flow is completed.
