Patent ID: 8228519

Claim:
An image processing system, comprising: a first apparatus that generates first data for designating a first job; and a second apparatus that rasterizes a plurality of objects based on the first data generated by the first apparatus so as to synthesize the plurality of objects; wherein, with respect to each of the plurality of objects, the first apparatus generates an object name of a concerned object according to a predetermined rule, by adding information pertaining to the concerned object, including any one of: a width of an image of the concerned object, a height of the image of the concerned object, information for specifying a cut position when the image is cut out, information for specifying an image operation when the image is enlarged, reduced or rotated, a device name of an apparatus that outputs the concerned object, a resolution and a color mode, which is necessary when rasterizing the concerned object, to a formal name of the concerned object; and wherein the second apparatus stores a plurality of rasterized objects, acquired by rasterizing the plurality of objects, into a cache memory, and registers object names, respectively generated with respect to the plurality of rasterized objects, into a table; and wherein, when generating second data for designating a second job being not prior to the first job, the first apparatus inquires whether or not object names of rasterized objects to be used in the second job are registered in the table from the second apparatus, so as to add an object unregistered in the table to the second data.
