Abstract
An input agent system and a plurality of job-handling agent systems are connected using a network. One external apparatus is connected to each of the job-handling agent systems. Pieces of job information indicative of the processing contents of the external apparatuses are inputted to the input agent system, and each of the job-handling agent systems captures and evaluates a piece of job information from the input agent system, and then registers the piece of job information if the piece of job information is judged as being suitable for an associated external apparatus. This eliminates the need for the input agent system to judge which external apparatus is to process the inputted pieces of job information, reducing the burdens on the input agent system. Consequently, pieces of job information may be efficiently handled in the plurality of external apparatuses connected respectively to the plurality of job-handling agent systems.
