Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an extraction unit, and a rewriting unit. The reading unit reads, in a case where an instruction for changing a value of a setting item regarding a service to be provided by the data processing apparatus is issued by a user, a value of the instructed setting item before the change from a predetermined storing region. The extraction unit extracts shortcut information including the value before the change as a parameter value from among plural pieces of shortcut information each including a parameter for shortcut launching of a service to be provided by the data processing apparatus. The rewriting unit rewrites the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to a designated value.

Claims (30)

1. A data processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed to

read, in response to receiving an instruction for changing a value of a setting item regarding a service to be provided by the data processing apparatus issued by a first user, a value of the instructed setting item before the change from a predetermined storing region;

extract shortcut information associated with the first user who has issued the instruction and a second user who is different from the first user, the extracted shortcut information including the value before the change as a parameter value from among plural pieces of shortcut information each including a parameter for shortcut launching of the service to be provided by the data processing apparatus; and

rewrite the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to a designated value, in accordance with the instruction for changing the value of the setting item, such that

when the second user operates the shortcut for launching the service, the service is provided by the data processing apparatus using the parameter value rewritten as the designated value.

2. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to

perform processing for allowing the first user to select whether or not to change the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information, and

in a case where changing the parameter value is selected by the first user, rewrite the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to the designated value.

3. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further programmed to

store the extracted shortcut information and at least one data set including values of the instructed setting item before and after the change in association with each another in a predetermined storing region, the shortcut information being stored in a predetermined storing region in association with identification information for identifying a user,

perform processing for allowing the second user corresponding to the extracted shortcut information to select whether or not to change the parameter value when the second user corresponding to the extracted shortcut information logs in, and

in a case where changing is selected by the second user, rewrite the parameter value included in the stored shortcut information to the stored value after the change.

4. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further programmed to

store, in a case where not changing is selected by the first user, the extracted shortcut information and at least one data set including values of the instructed setting item before and after the change in a predetermined storing region, the shortcut information being stored in a predetermined storing region in association with identification information for identifying a user,

perform the processing for allowing the first user to select whether or not to change the parameter value at a predetermined timing, and

in a case where changing is selected by the first user, rewrite the parameter value included in the stored shortcut information to the stored value after the change.

5. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein in a case where not changing the parameter value is selected by the first user, the processor performs setting for not displaying a shortcut represented by the extracted shortcut information on a menu screen, and in a case where an instruction for returning the value of the setting item to an original value is issued by the first user, the processor performs setting for displaying the shortcut represented by the extracted shortcut information on the menu screen.

6. The data processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor extracts, from the stored at least one data set, a data set including a value after change that is equal to the value of the instructed setting item before the change, and rewrites the value after change included in the extracted data set to the value of the instructed setting item after the change.

7. The data processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor extracts, from the stored at least one data set, a data set including a value after change that is equal to the value of the instructed setting item before the change, and rewrites the value after change included in the extracted data set to the value of the instructed setting item after the change.

8. A data processing method comprising:

reading, in response to receiving an instruction issued by a first user for changing a value of a setting item regarding a service to be provided, a value of the instructed setting item before the change from a predetermined storing region;

extracting shortcut information associated with the first user who has issued the instruction and a second user who is different from the first user, the extracted shortcut information including the value before the change as a parameter value from among plural pieces of shortcut information each including a parameter for shortcut launching of the service to be provided; and

rewriting the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to a designated value, in accordance with the instruction for changing the value of the setting item, such that

when the second user operates the shortcut for launching the service, the service is provided using the parameter value rewritten as the designated value.

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

reading, in response to receiving an instruction issued by a first user for changing a value of a setting item regarding a service to be provided, a value of the instructed setting item before the change from a predetermined storing region;

extracting shortcut information associated with the first user who has issued the instruction and a second user who is different from the first user, the extracted shortcut information including the value before the change as a parameter value from among plural pieces of shortcut information each including a parameter for shortcut launching of the service to be provided; and

rewriting the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to a designated value, in accordance with the instruction for changing the value of the setting item, such that

when the second user operates the shortcut for launching the service, the service is provided using the parameter value rewritten as the designated value.
