<Functions of Terminal Apparatus of Printing Agent>
FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing functions of the terminal apparatus TMp of the printing agent according to Exemplary Embodiment 1.
As shown in FIG. 12, the terminal apparatus TMp includes a communication section 61, a processing section 62, a control section 63 and a storage section 64, in a similar manner to or the same manner as the function (shown in FIG. 10) of the terminal apparatus TMu of the user.
The relation between the hardware configuration (shown in FIG. 11) and the functional configuration (shown in FIG. 12) in the terminal apparatus TMp is described as follows. That is, in the hardware respect, the CPU 52 executes the program PRp stored in the storage medium 54 (implementing a portion of the function of the storage section 64) while using the memory 55 (implementing another portion of the function of the storage section 64), and serves as the control section 63 to control operations of the input section 51 and the output section 53 in response to necessity. Thus, the CPU 52 implements the respective functions of the communication section 61 and the processing section 62. The functions of the respective sections will be described later.
