Abstract:
1. An information processing method of registering a plurality of tasks that execute an individual processing in accordance with a parameter and a processing flow, which defines an order of the plurality of the tasks for cooperation processing, in a manner that the processing flow can be used by a plurality of users, comprising: a first registration step of registering a first processing flow into storage means in association with a first user in response to a registration request of the first processing flow from the first user; a copying step of, when registering the first processing flow in association with another user different from the first user, making a copy of the first processing flow as a second processing flow for said another user; a determining step of, with regard to each task in the second processing flow, determining based on attribute information of the task whether or not the task is a personal task in which the parameter of the task can be altered by said another user; a first alteration step of altering the parameter of each task in the second processing flow, which is deemed to be a personal task in said determining step, based on parameter information included in a user information set in relation to the another user; and a second registration set of registering the second processing flow, where the parameter has been altered by said first alteration step, into storage means as a processing flow that can be used by said another user.
