Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain a print job having multiple objects; receive an allowable time for image-quality adjustment on at least one object included in the print job; and present at least one object which is allowed to be processed within the time if the objects included in the print job are processed in a predetermined order of priority.

Claims (38)

1 . An image processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

obtain a print job having a plurality of objects;

receive an allowable time for image-quality adjustment on at least one object included in the print job; and

present at least one object which is allowed to be processed within the time if the plurality of objects included in the print job are processed in a predetermined order of priority.

2 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the order of priority is descending order of magnitude of effect of the image-quality adjustment, descending order of size of the plurality of objects, descending order of processing time of the image-quality adjustment, or an order of type of the image-quality adjustment which needs a processing time.

3 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a specific operation of the image-quality adjustment performed on each object, calculate a time required for the determined specific operation of the image-quality adjustment, and present the at least one object which is allowed to be processed within the time.

4 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

display a screen for receiving the time, and receive the time on the screen.

5 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the screen includes a sliding switch that is movable and that is used to set the time.

6 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

change the at least one presented object in accordance with a move of the sliding switch.

7 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

display, in a display format, the at least one object that is allowed to be processed in the time, the display format being different from a display format of another object.

8 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, as the time, a reserved time for printing.

9 . The image processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

perform the image-quality adjustment on the at least one presented object which is allowed to be processed in the time, and transmit an instruction to perform printing using the print job.

10 . An image processing system comprising:

the image processing apparatus according to claim 9 ; and

a printing execution apparatus that performs printing of the print job in response to the instruction from the image processing apparatus.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image processing, the process comprising:

obtaining a print job having a plurality of objects;

receiving an allowable time for image-quality adjustment on at least one object included in the print job; and

presenting at least one object which is allowed to be processed within the time if the plurality of objects included in the print job are processed in a predetermined order of priority.

12 . An image processing method comprising:

obtaining a print job having a plurality of objects;

receiving an allowable time for image-quality adjustment on at least one object included in the print job; and

presenting at least one object which is allowed to be processed within the time if the plurality of objects included in the print job are processed in a predetermined order of priority.
