Patent ID: 8893136

Claim:
An automated operation list generation device for generating an automated operation list, the automated operation list causing a plurality of operations, which form a process to generate an image according to a desired purpose, to be automatically executed in a desired order with using an image analysis application that is able to execute the operations in any order according to input by the user, the device comprising: a processing device including a central processing unit (CPU); and an inputting unit configured to receive an input of selection of a desired operation from the operations in a desired order and, as necessary, input of a necessary processing parameter for the selected operation, wherein said CPU is configured to perform as: an operation information obtaining unit configured to obtain operation information based on the operation corresponding to the input received by the inputter, the operation information classifying the operation corresponding to the input into a non-routine operation, which requires input of a processing parameter during execution of the automated operation list, or a routine operation other than the non-routine operation in advance; and an automated operation list generating unit configured to generate the automated operation list based on the obtained operation information by registering, if the operation corresponding to the input is a routine operation, the operation corresponding to the input in the automated operation list with associating, as necessary, a necessary processing parameter for the operation with the operation, and if the operation corresponding to the input is a non-routine operation, registering the operation corresponding to the input in the automated operation list.
