Abstract

Information on a calculation progress status output based on rendering software is managed in an information record file. At the same time, identification information from a user that shows a desirable output processing is managed. When a rendering processing in the same rendering file has been calculated again by changing only a specific parameter, this processing is compared with the past processing transition that has produced a desirable processing result. Based on this, a satisfactory or non-satisfactory result of execution is decided. When there is a problem, this is notified to the user by electronic mail.

Claims

1. A rendering calculation processing status monitoring program for monitoring a processing status of a user-requested job of a rendering calculation processing, wherein the program makes a computer function as:

a monitoring unit which decides whether the job is a processing suitable for the user or not; and

2. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring unit decides whether the job is a processing suitable for the user or not, during the execution of the job processing.

3. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 1, wherein the monitoring unit decides whether the job is a suitable processing or not, by comparing the job with a stored processing example that is desirable for the user.

4. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 3, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

5. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 4, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

6. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 3, wherein the user specifies the processing example that is desirable for the user, from among jobs that have been executed in the past.

7. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 6, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

8. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 7, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

9. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 3, wherein at the time of comparing the job with the processing example that is desirable for the user, a reference case is prepared based on a plurality of the cases, and the job to be decided is compared with this reference case.

10. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 9, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

11. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 10, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

12. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 1, wherein when the monitoring unit has decided that the job is not a processing that is desirable for the user, the monitoring unit specifies a cause of the generation of this job, and the notification unit notifies the cause to the user.

13. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 12, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

14. The rendering calculation processing status monitoring program according to claim 13, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

15. A computer-readable recording medium that is recorded with a rendering calculation processing status monitoring program for monitoring a processing status of a user-requested job of a rendering calculation processing, wherein the program makes a computer function as:

a monitoring unit which decides whether the job is a processing suitable for the user or not; and

a notification unit which notifies to the user that the job is not a suitable processing, when the monitoring unit has made this decision.

16. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 15, wherein the monitoring unit decides whether the job is a processing suitable for the user or not, during the execution of the job processing.

17. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 15, wherein the monitoring unit decides whether the job is a suitable processing or not, by comparing the job with a stored processing example that is desirable for the user.

18. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 17, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

19. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 18, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

20. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 17, wherein the user specifies the processing example that is desirable for the user, from among jobs that have been executed in the past.

21. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 20, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

22. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 21, wherein the monitoring unit accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

23. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 17, wherein at the time of comparing the job with the processing example that is desirable for the user, a reference case is prepared based on a plurality of the cases, and the job to be decided is compared with this reference case.

24. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 23, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.

25. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 24, wherein the monitoring un it accumulates influence characteristics that each parameter gives to the job, and specifies the cause by referring to the influence characteristics.

26. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 15, wherein when the monitoring unit has decided that the job is not a processing that is desirable for the user, the monitoring unit specifies a cause of the generation of this job, and the notification unit notifies the cause to the user.

27. The computer-readable recording medium according to claim 26, wherein the job that has been decided as not desirable is compared with the example of a desirable processing, and a parameter set with a different value is specified as the cause.
