Abstract

An image processing device has a processor configured to form a virtual network, to which a function of the image processing device is allocated, and provide the function to another device connected to the virtual network.

Claims (38)

1. An image processing device comprising:

a memory;

a hardware processor coupled to the memory and configured to form a virtual network, to which a function of the image processing device is allocated,

register a conference in the virtual network,

register a reservation of a user for the conference in the virtual network in the memory,

notify another device connected to the virtual network of the function of the image processing device, wherein the function of the image processing device is capable of being used through the virtual network, and

provide the function to another device connected to the virtual network, wherein information regarding the user is not registered at the time of the hardware processor registers the reservation of the user of the conference in the virtual network in the memory.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to

form a plurality of virtual networks, and

allocate, to each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks, a function to be independently provided through the virtual network.

3. The image processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to output information that is provided for using the virtual network and is different for each virtual network of the plurality of virtual networks.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to permit the another device to use the virtual network only in a predetermined period.

5. The image processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to permit the another device to use the virtual network only in a predetermined period.

6. The image processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to permit the another device to use the virtual network only in a predetermined period.

7. The image processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to form a plurality of virtual networks,

form a storage area in the memory separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks, and

store information in the storage area separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks.

8. The image processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to form a plurality of virtual networks,

form a storage area in the memory separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks, and

store information in the storage area separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks.

9. The image processing device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to form a plurality of virtual networks,

form a storage area in the memory separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks, and

store information in the storage area separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks.

10. The image processing device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the hardware processor is further configured to form a plurality of virtual networks,

form a storage area in the memory separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks, and

store information in the storage area separately for each virtual network among the plurality of virtual networks.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer mounted in an image processing device comprising a memory and a processor to execute a process, the process comprising:

forming a virtual network, to which a function of the image processing device is allocated,

registering a conference in the virtual network,

registering a reservation of a user for the conference in the virtual network in the memory,

notifying another device connected to the virtual network of the function of the image processing device, wherein the function of the image processing device is capable of being used through the virtual network, and

providing the function to another device connected to the virtual network, wherein information regarding the user is not registered at the time of the processor registers the reservation of the user of the conference in the virtual network in the memory.
