Abstract:
A cooperation system and a program for operating a plurality of apparatuses in cooperation is provided. The program is capable of implementing a user interface for easily adding a necessary operation while one or more first apparatuses and one or more second apparatuses are involved in a cooperation operation, wherein a necessary operation can be added to the cooperation operation at least until the reception of the target data from all the first apparatuses is completed.

Claim (Index 1):
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for an information processing apparatus comprising a processor, a touch screen device including a display, a user interface that receives an operation, and a communication interface that communicates with a plurality of apparatuses including a first apparatus and a second apparatus, the information processing apparatus being configured as a portable device,\n wherein the information processing apparatus performs a cooperation operation to instruct the first apparatus to execute a first operation and, after the first operation of the first apparatus is executed, to instruct the second apparatus to execute a second operation, wherein the computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to perform:\n receiving a start instruction through the user interface to start the cooperation operation according to cooperation operation information selected from among a plurality of pieces of cooperation operation information stored in a storage device, wherein the cooperation operation information includes a plurality of pieces of apparatus identifying information for identifying a plurality of apparatuses and a plurality of pieces of operation information for identifying operations executed by each of the apparatuses identified by the apparatus identifying information, the cooperation operation information being information identifying an executing sequence of the operations identified by the operation information, wherein the plurality of pieces of apparatus identifying information includes first apparatus identifying information for identifying the first apparatus and second apparatus identifying information for identifying the second apparatus; \n acquiring the cooperation operation information, from the storage device, which corresponds to the cooperation operation instructed by the start instruction received through the user interface; \n starting, when determined that the start instruction is received, the cooperation operation by transmitting a plurality of pieces of operation instruction information for instructing execution of the operations by each of the apparatuses through the communication interface to each of the apparatuses according to the execution sequence of each of the operations included in the cooperation operation information; \n controlling the display to display a status screen including an executing sequence list and an adding instruction object, wherein the executing sequence list indicates a plurality of apparatus objects being listed in an order identified by the executing sequence, wherein the apparatus objects include a progressing status indicator that indicates a progressing status of each of the operations executed by each of the apparatuses, wherein the apparatus objects include a first apparatus object corresponding to the first apparatus and a second apparatus object corresponding to the second apparatus, the adding instruction object being displayed to be selectable for receiving an adding instruction to add a new operation to be executed by the apparatuses to the cooperation operation; \n receiving, after starting the cooperation operation, the adding instruction through the user interface by accepting a selection of the adding instruction object included in the apparatus objects; and \n adding, when determined that the adding instruction is received, added operation information to the cooperation operation information, the added operation information indicating an added apparatus and an added operation to be executed by the added apparatus, and \n wherein, in adding the added operation information to the cooperation operation information, the computer-readable instructions cause the information processing apparatus to perform:\n determining whether the added operation belongs to the first operation or to the second operation; \n adding the added operation information to the cooperation operation information to be executed after the first operation under execution and before the second operation when determined that the added operation belongs to the first operation; \n adding the added operation information to the cooperation operation information to be executed after the first operation and after the second operation under execution when determined that the added operation belongs to the second operation; and \n transmitting, to the added apparatus through the communication interface, the operation instruction information instructing the added apparatus to execute the added operation in the execution sequence indicated by the cooperation operation information to which the added operation information is added.
