System, a method and a computer readable medium for transmitting an electronic file
First Claim
1. An electronic file transmission system comprising:
- a data acquiring section, included in or in communication with a first communication terminal, that acquires data including an electronic file that is created or attached by the first communication terminal and transmitted to a second communication terminal via a network;
an extracting section, included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, that extracts from the data the electronic file and recipient identification information identifying a correct recipient of the electronic file;
an encoding section, included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, that encodes the extracted electronic file; and
a management information transmitting section, included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, that transmits, via the network and not via the second communication terminal, a pass phrase needed to decode the encoded electronic file, first file identification information identifying the encoded electronic file, and the recipient identification information to a pass phrase management apparatus so as to make the pass phrase available to the correct recipient through subsequent transmission of the pass phrase from the pass phrase management apparatus to the second communication terminal;
whereinthe pass phrase management apparatus includes a determining section that determines whether the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered,the pass phrase management apparatus generates information needed for user registration in response to determining that the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered, andthe pass phrase management apparatus includes a notification information transmitting section that transmits notification information including access information for the pass phrase management apparatus to the second communication terminal, the notification information including the information needed for user registration in response to the determination that the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered, andthe encoding section deletes the electronic file from the e-mail acquired by the data acquiring section, creates the e-mail anew attached with the encoded file, and sends the new e-mail to the second communication terminal.

9. An electronic file transmission method comprising:
-
acquiring, by a data acquiring section included in or in communication with a first communication terminal, data including an electronic file that is created or attached by the first communication terminal and transmitted to a second communication terminal via a network; extracting from the data, by an extracting section included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, the electronic file and recipient identification information identifying a correct recipient of the electronic file; encoding, by an encoding section included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, the extracted electronic file; and transmitting, via the network and not via the second communication terminal, by a management information transmitting section included in or in communication with the first communication terminal, a pass phrase needed to decode the encoded electronic file, first file identification information identifying the encoded electronic file, and the recipient identification information to a pass phrase management apparatus so as to make the pass phrase available to the correct recipient through subsequent transmission of the pass phrase from the pass phrase management apparatus to the second communication terminal;
whereinthe pass phrase management apparatus determines whether the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered, generates information needed for user registration in response to determining that the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered, and transmits notification information including access information for the pass phrase management apparatus to the second communication terminal, the notification information including the information needed for user registration in response to the determination that the correct recipient indicated by the recipient identification information is not user-registered, and the encoding includes deleting the electronic file from the acquired e-mail, creating the e-mail anew attached with the encoded file, and sending the new e-mail to the second communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (10)
