Data processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A data processing apparatus, comprising:
- a data input unit for inputting data;
a data storage unit including a first storage section and a second storage section for storing the input data, wherein the first storage section is configured to store the input data temporarily and the second storage section is partitioned based on properties of the input data;
an outputting unit configured to perform output processing on the input data;
a data control unit configured to distribute the input data to either the first storage section or the second storage section depending on a property of the input data and transfer the stored input data from the first storage section to the partitioned region of the second storage section according to the properties of the input data, wherein the input data stored in the first storage section is deleted from the first storage section after being transferred to the partitioned region of the second storage section; and
a data delete control unit configured to delete the stored input data in the second storage section, set a deletion condition of the stored input data in the second storage section, and control deletion of the stored input data in the second storage section based on the deletion condition.

Abstract
A data processing apparatus is provided in which data is stored in a state distributed to a storage destination depending on the data property, so that the stored data is reused easily and that the storage of the data is managed efficiently on the basis of the data property. Storage means comprises a first storage section, a second storage section, and a memory controller serving as data distributing means. The first storage section temporarily stores data outputted (processed for output) from each section (a scanner section, a FAX section, a network processing section, etc.) of data processing means. The second storage section comprises storage regions partitioned in correspondence to the data properties, and stores data satisfying a predetermined condition among the data outputted (processed for output). The memory controller distributes the data to either the first storage section or the second storage section depending on the data property.
