Abstract

It is one objective of the present invention to provide an image processing device that can easily implement an image processing function consonant with the need or application of a user. The image processing device comprises task storage, a task manager, a component manager, and a software bus manager. The task storage controls task scenario information indicating components used for an image processing task and information as to couple the components, component information, and substances of the components. The task manager analyzes the task scenario information and determines components used for the task and a software bus connecting the components. The component manager generates, deletes, or controls the components. The software bus manager generates or deletes the software bus, and controls the data exchange across the software bus.
