First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- an image storing unit that stores image data transmitted or received through facsimile communications;
a page generating unit that generates a list page, the list page being a web page displaying a list of communication details associated with the image data transmitted or received through the facsimile communications, the list of communication details including hyperlinks to the associated image data stored in the image storing unit;
a page distributing unit that distributes via a network the list page generated by the page generating unit; and
an access determining unit that determines whether to allow access to the image data associated with the communication details of the facsimile communication based on contents of the communication details, wherein the page generating unit generates the list page having the hyperlinks only to the image data for which the access determining unit allows access.

Abstract
When log data is stored in a shared area of RAM provided in a multifunction device, a personal computer generates and transmits a log page having links to image data. These links are links to files (image data) registered in a log table. The log table includes a list of content identified by the log data stored in the RAM of the multifunction device. This log data can identify a file only when the multifunction device determines that the image data may be recorded. Accordingly, the personal computer can generate log pages having links to files for which image data can be recorded, that is, files that can be made public via a communication network.
