System and Device for Image Reading
First Claim
1. A network system, comprising:
- an image reading device having a function of reading images; and
an image display device having a function of displaying images communicatably connected to the image reading device via a network, wherein the image reading device comprises;
a reading unit configured to read an image from an original and to generate image data corresponding to the read image;
a reading device side communication unit configured to perform data communication with the image display device via the network;
a reading device side communication controller configured to activate the reading unit and to transmit the image data generated by the reading unit to the image display device through the reading device side communication unit in response to receipt of an image transfer instruction, wherein the image display device comprises;
a display device side communication unit configured to perform data communication with the image reading device via the network;
a instruction input unit through which the image transfer instruction is inputted;
a display device side communication controller configured to transmit the image transfer instruction inputted through the instruction input unit to the image reading device through the display device side communication unit; and
a display control unit configured to display an image corresponding to the image data in response to receipt of the image data through the display device side communication unit.
