Abstract

Read images are stored and images to be transmitted are selected. When the selected images are transmitted, list data listing a group of reduced images of the images is generated. The generated list data is printed, displayed, or otherwise output, allowing a user to readily check the transmitted images.

Claims

1. A data processing apparatus, comprising:

selection means for selecting image data to be transmitted; and

generation means for generating list data listing a plurality of reduced images of image data selected by said selection means.

2. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising output means for outputting list data generated by said generation means.

3. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the output by said output means is a print output.

4. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the output by said output means is a display output.

5. The data processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the output by said output means is a storage of said list data into memory.

6. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said data includes transmission information about the transmission of an image selected by said selection means.

7. The data processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said transmission information contains at least one of the transmission data, transmission time, and destination.

8. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of images selected by said selection means are converted into one piece of data.

9. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising selection means for selecting an output form by said output means.

10. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising selection means for selecting whether an output by said output means should be performed or not.

11. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said generation means generates a number of pages of list data according to the number of said reduced images listed in said list data.

12. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said generation means generates the reduced images of all images selected by said selection means as one page of list data.

13. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising setting means for setting the number of reduced images to be listed by said generation means.

14. The data processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising setting means for setting a size of the reduced images listed by said generation means.

17. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said generation means generates the reduced data for each page of said transmission data to generate said list data.

18. The data transmission apparatus according to claim 16, wherein said transmission data contains the reduced data for each page and said generation means extracts said reduced image to generate said list data.

15. A data processing apparatus, comprising:

reduction means for reducing a size of data to be transmitted; and

generation means for generating list data listing a plurality of items of reduced data reduced by said reduction means.

16. A data transmission apparatus, comprising:

transmission means for transmitting transmission data consisting of a plurality of pages; and

generation means for generating list data listing a plurality of items of reduced data for each page of said transmission data.

19. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:

selecting image to be transmitted;

generating list data listing a plurality of reduced images of the images selected in said selecting step.

20. A method of controlling a data processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:

reducing a size of data to be transmitted; and

generating list data listing a plurality of items of reduced data reduced in said reducing step.

21. A method of controlling data transmission apparatus, comprising the steps of:

transmitting transmission data consisting of a plurality of pages; and

generating list data listing a plurality of items of reduced data for each page of said transmission
