System, computer program product and method for managing documents
First Claim
1. A method of storing a scanned document, comprising the steps of:
- generating, at an image processing device, image data corresponding to an image scanned at the image processing device;
receiving, at the image processing device, a request to store the image data at a first computer remote from the image processing device;
transmitting the image data and the request from the image processing device to a second computer remote from the image processing device, the second computer connected to the image processing device via a first network;
transferring the image data from the second computer to the first computer based on the received request, the second computer connected to the first computer via a second network; and
storing the image data at the first computer.

Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for managing documents. The system includes an image forming apparatus configured to display interactive menus so as to allow an operator of the image forming apparatus to interact with a document manager. The display interactive menus are downloaded from the document manager to the image forming apparatus based on a request by the operator. The document manager is configured to search for application services providers (ASPs) over a network and based on operator inputs. The document manager can search documents within the ASPs, retrieve documents and URLs, store documents and data. The system can provide basic and/or customized interactive menus displayed on the screen of the image forming apparatus.
