Abstract

Upon receipt of information transmitted from a portable terminal including unique information, it is judged whether or not received unique information exists in management information. If the unique information exists, client identification information associated with the unique information is acquired from the management information, and configuration information, which shows a configuration of an electronic file which a client has, is acquired from the client corresponding to the client identification information. The configuration information is submitted to the portable terminal. When file information expressing an electronic file shown by configuration information and an address designating an external device to which the electronic file is to be transmitted are received, the file information and address being transmitted from the portable terminal in response to the submission, the electronic file expressed by the file information is acquired, and the electronic file is transmitted to the address.

Claims

1. A file transmitting server comprising:

a storage section that stores management information where unique information that identifies a portable terminal, and client identification information that identifies a client used by a user of the portable terminal, are associated;

a judging section that, upon receipt of information transmitted from the portable terminal including unique information, judges whether or not the unique information received from the portable terminal exists in the stored management information;

a client identification information acquiring section that, when it is judged that the received unique information exists, acquires, from the management information, the client identification information associated with the received unique information;

a configuration information acquiring section that acquires, from a client corresponding to the client identification information, configuration information showing a configuration of an electronic file that the client has;

a submitting section that submits the configuration information to the portable terminal that transmitted the unique information;

a file acquiring section that, upon receipt of file information expressing an electronic file shown by the configuration information, and an address designating an external device to which the electronic file is to be transmitted, acquires from the client the electronic file expressed by the file information, the file information and address being transmitted from the portable terminal to which the configuration information was submitted in response to the submission from the submitting section; and

a transmitting section transmitting the electronic file to the address.

2. A file transmitting server comprising:

a storage section that stores management information where unique information, that identifies a portable terminal, and client identification information, that identifies a client used by a user of the portable terminal, are associated, and further where the client identification information and configuration information, which shows a configuration of an electronic file that the client corresponding to the client identification information has, are associated;

a judging section that, upon receipt of information transmitted from the portable terminal including unique information, judges whether or not the unique information received from the portable terminal exists in the stored management information;

a client identification information acquiring section that, when it is judged that the received unique information exists, acquires, from the management information, client identification information associated with the received unique information;

a configuration information acquiring section that acquires, from the management information, configuration information associated with the client identification information;

a submitting section that submits the configuration information to the portable terminal that transmitted the unique information;

a file acquiring section that, upon receipt of file information expressing an electronic file shown by the configuration information, and an address designating an external device where the electronic file is to be transmitted, acquires from the client the electronic file expressed by the file information, the file information and address being transmitted from the portable terminal to which the configuration information was submitted in response to the submission from the submitting section; and

a transmitting section transmitting the electronic file to the address.

3. A file transmitting server comprising:

a storage section that stores management information where unique information that identifies a portable terminal, and client identification information that identifies a client used by a user of the portable terminal, are associated;

a judging section that, upon receipt of information transmitted from the portable terminal including unique information, judges whether or not the unique information received from the portable terminal exists in the management information;

a client identification information acquiring section that, when it is judged that the received unique information exists, acquires, from the management information, the client identification information associated with the received unique information;

a configuration information acquiring section that acquires configuration information showing a configuration of an electronic file that the client has;

a submitting section that submits the configuration information to the portable terminal that transmitted the unique information;

a file acquiring section that, upon receipt of file information expressing an electronic file shown by the configuration information, and an address designating an external device where the electronic file is to be transmitted, acquires from the client the electronic file expressed by the file information, the file information and address being transmitted from the portable terminal in response to the submission from the submitting section; and

a transmitting section transmitting the electronic file to the address.

4. The file transmitting server of claim 3, wherein the configuration information acquiring section acquires, from the client corresponding to the client identification information, configuration information showing a configuration of an electronic file that the client has.

5. The file transmitting server of claim 3, wherein the client identification information and configuration information, which shows a configuration of an electronic file that the client corresponding to the client identification information has, are further associated in the management information.

6. The file transmitting server of claim 5, wherein the configuration information acquiring section acquires, from the management information, configuration information associated with client identification information.
