Scan data transmitter and a scan data transmission system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A scan data transmitter to be connected to a network comprising:
- an image data generator that generates image data representing an image on a manuscript set thereon;
a user-interface unit that allows a user to specify process contents to be executed and allows the user to specify both of or either a file path of a folder into which a file of image data generated by the image data generator is stored and a designation mail address of an e-mail to which the file of the image data is attached; and
an image data transmitter that, when a processing start instruction is input, performs;
in case the user specifies only the file path to the user-interface unit, first storage processing which causes the image data generator to generate the image data and stores a file concerning the image data into the folder identified by the specified folder path, in case the user specifies only the designation mail address to the user-interface unit, first mail transmission processing which causes the image data generator to generate the image data and transmits an e-mail to which a file concerning the image data is attached to the designation mail address specified by the user, and in case the user specifies the file path and the designation mail address, second storage processing which causes the image data generator to generate the image data and stores a file concerning the image data into a folder identified by the folder path specified by the user and second mail transmission processing which transmits the e-mail to which a file concerning the image data is attached to the designation mail address specified by the user.

Abstract
The scan data transmitter and the scan data transmission system are designed to allow the user to issue, at a time, execution instructions on processing of storing an image data file of a manuscript into a folder and processing of transmitting an e-mail to which the image data file of the manuscript is attached, that is, to simultaneously specify the mail address as a destination of the mail and the folder into which the file is to be stored.

5. As can data transmission system comprising an information processor and an auxiliary information processor,
wherein the auxiliary information processor includes: -
a first processing execution unit which stores a file concerning image data transmitted from the auxiliary information processor into a folder identified by a folder path transmitted from the information processor;
a second processing execution unit which performs processing of transmitting an e-mail, to which a file concerning the image data transmitted from the information processor is attached, to a designation mail address transmitted from the information processor; and
a third processing execution unit which performs processing of storing a file concerning the image data into a folder identified by a folder path transmitted from the information processor and processing of transmitting an e-mail to which a file concerning the image data is attached to the designation mail address transmitted from said information processor, and wherein the information processor includes;
an image data generator for generating image data corresponding to an image on a manuscript;
a user-interface unit which allows the user to specify processing contents to be executed and allows the user to specify both of or either a file path of a folder into which a file of image data generated by the image data generator is stored and a designation mail address of an e-mail to which the file of image data generated by the image data generator is attached; and
a controller that, when a processing start instruction is input, operates;
in case the user specifies only a file path to the user-interface unit, the first processing unit;
in case the user specifies only a mail address to the user-interface unit, the second processing unit; and
in case the user specifies a file path and a mail address to the user-interface unit, the third processing unit. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
