Abstract:
1. An information processing system which includes a management server and an image processing apparatus having an image reading mechanism, wherein, the management server comprises: a first accepting unit constructed to accept data from a client apparatus; a first determining unit constructed to determine whether or not an attachment file to be attached to the data accepted by the first accepting unit is insufficient; a first generating unit constructed to, according to the first determining unit determining that the attachment file to be attached to the data accepted by the first accepting unit is insufficient, generate a scan ticket to be used to generate image data serving as the attachment file by the image reading mechanism of the image processing apparatus; an associating unit constructed to associate the scan ticket generated by the first generating unit with the data for which the attachment file to be attached thereto is insufficient; and a first transmitting unit constructed to transmit the scan ticket to the image processing apparatus in response to a request from the image processing apparatus, wherein the image processing apparatus comprises: a request unit constructed to transmit the request of the scan ticket to the management server; a second accepting unit constructed to accept, from among scan tickets transmitted by the first transmitting unit in response to the request by the request unit, designation of a scan ticket to be used in an image reading process; a second generating unit constructed to perform the image reading process with the image reading mechanism by using the scan ticket accepted by the second accepting unit, and generate image data; and a second transmitting unit constructed to transmit the image data generated by the second generating unit to the management server, and wherein the management server further comprises an attaching unit constructed to attach the image data transmitted from the image processing apparatus by the second transmitting unit to the data associated with the scan ticket used in the generating of the image data.
