Patent ID: 7103658

Claim:
A computer-readable recording medium storing a computer readable program to be executed by a computer for monitoring a processing status of a user-requested job of a rendering calculation processing, wherein the program comprises: storing information on the rendering calculation processing of a rendering file that is performed with varying a plurality of parameters, the information including influencing characteristics that each parameter gives influence to the job on a processing transition of a processing example that is desirable for the user; obtaining influencing characteristics that each parameter gives influence to the job on a processing transition of a current rendering processing; comparing the thus obtained influencing characteristics on the processing transition with the influence characteristics on the processing transition of the processing example for each parameter; deciding whether the job is a processing suitable for the user during the execution of the job processing based on a predetermined rule; and notifying to the user that the job is not a suitable processing, when the job is decided not to be a processing suitable for the user; wherein when the job has been decided as not suitable, a difference in the influencing characteristics of each parameter between the current rendering processing and the processing example is determined, and a parameter set with a greatest difference in value of the influencing characteristics is specified as a candidate parameter for correcting a set value, wherein the influencing characteristics include an average processing time for processing a predetermined number of frames for each parameter, wherein the influencing characteristics include whether there is an increase or a decrease in the processing time of each frame with respect to a processing time of an immediately preceding frame, for each parameter, and wherein the user specifies the processing example that is desirable for the user, from among jobs that have been executed in the past.
