Server, data output system, data output method, and output terminal
First Claim
1. A server comprising:
- an electronic data item receiving unit that receives an electronic data item;
an identification code receiving unit that, when a person exists within a predetermined range from an output terminal, receives a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal;
an identification code storing unit that stores therein, the first and second identification codes received by the identification code receiving unit, in association with each other; and
an electronic data item transmitting unit that transmits the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit to a corresponding output terminal based on the first and second identification codes stored in the identification code storing unit.

Abstract
A server comprises an electronic data item receiving unit, an identification code receiving unit, an identification code storing unit, and an electronic data item transmitting unit. The electronic data item receiving unit receives an electronic data item. When a person exists within a predetermined range from an output terminal, the identification code receiving unit receives a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal. The identification code storing unit stores therein the first and second identification codes received by the identification code receiving unit, in association with each other. The electronic data item transmitting unit transmits the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit to a corresponding output terminal based on the first and second identification codes stored in the identification code storing unit.

7. A data output system comprising a plurality of output terminals and a server that is data-communicably connected to the output terminals, wherein:
-
each of the output terminals includes a reading unit that, when a person exists within a predetermined range from the output terminal, reads a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person, an output unit that outputs an electronic data item, and an identification code transmitting unit that transmits to the server the first identification code read by the reading unit and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal; and
the server includes an electronic data item receiving unit that receives the electronic data item, an identification code receiving unit that receives the first and second identification codes transmitted by the identification code transmitting unit of any one of the output terminals, an identification code storing unit that stores therein the first and second identification codes received by the identification code receiving unit, in association with each other, a retrieval unit that retrieves from the identification code storing unit first and second identification codes corresponding to a specific code that specifies a destination of the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit, and an electronic data item transmitting unit that transmits the electronic data item received by the electronic data item receiving unit to an output terminal that is assigned the second identification code retrieved by the retrieval unit.

8. A data output method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an electronic data item;
receiving from each of a plurality of output terminals, when a person exists within a predetermined range from the output terminal, a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person and a second identification code for identifying the output terminal;
storing the first and second identification codes received in the step of receiving identification codes, in association with each other;
retrieving, from what has been stored in the step of storing identification codes, first and second identification codes corresponding to a specific code that specifies a destination of the electronic data item received in the step of receiving an electronic data item; and
transmitting the electronic data item received in the step of receiving an electronic data item, to an output terminal that is assigned the second identification code retrieved in the step of retrieving.

9. An output terminal comprising:
-
an electronic data item storing unit that stores therein a received electronic data item;
a specific code acquiring unit that, based on the electronic data item stored in the electronic data item storing unit, acquires a specific code for specifying a destination of the electronic data item;
a reading unit that, when a person exists within a predetermined range from the output terminal, reads a first identification code concerning any one of the person and a device used by the person;
a determination unit that determines whether the first identification code read by the reading unit corresponds to the specific code acquired by the specific code acquiring unit or not; and
an output unit that, when the determination unit determines that the first identification code corresponds to the specific code, outputs the electronic data item stored in the electronic data item storing unit. - View Dependent Claims (10)
