As shown in FIG. 9, the storage medium 34 stores a program PRu. The program PRu is a group of commands defining the contents of processing which should be executed by the terminal apparatus TMu.
<Functions of Terminal Apparatus of User>
FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing functions of the terminal apparatus TMu of the user according to Exemplary Embodiment 1.
As shown in FIG. 10, the terminal apparatus TMu includes a communication section 41, a processing section 42, a control section 43 and a storage section 44.
The relation between the hardware configuration (shown in FIG. 9) and the functional configuration (shown in FIG. 10) in the terminal apparatus TMu is described as follows. That is, in the hardware respect, the CPU 32 executes the program PRu stored in the storage medium 34 (implementing a portion of the function of the storage section 44) while using the memory 35 (implementing another portion of the function of the storage section 44), and serves as the control section 43 to control operations of the input section 31 and the output section 33) in response to necessity. Thus, the CPU 32 implements the respective functions of the communication section 41 and the processing section 42. The functions of the respective sections will be described later.
<Configuration of Terminal Apparatus of Printing Agent>
FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the terminal apparatus TMp of the printing agent according to Exemplary Embodiment 1.
