Abstract

A terminal apparatus is provided that makes it easy to determine whether or not data once saved can be deleted. When data included in a memory is output to an external equipment of the terminal apparatus, output history data including an output destination, an output day and time, and an output section is generated/updated while being correlated with the data. Then, if required, an output history of the data can be displayed based on the output history data after the output of the data.

Claims

1. A terminal apparatus for outputting image files, comprising:

a plurality of output sections each configured to output an image file from the terminal apparatus to an external apparatus, wherein the image file remains in the terminal apparatus at least temporarily after being outputted, wherein said plurality of output sections comprise different types of output sections; and

a display configured to display an output history for the image file, wherein the output history comprises a list to specify from which of the plurality of output sections the image file is outputted;

wherein if the image file and another image file which is different from the image file are concurrently outputted from anyone of the output sections, the display displays both the output history of the image file and information of the another image file.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a selecting section for selecting one of the image files,

wherein the display displays the output history of the selected image file.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display displays the output history for each of the output sections.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storing section for storing the image file; and

a deleting section which deletes one of the image files from the storing section,

wherein the display displays the output history of the image file to be deleted, before the image file is deleted by the deleting section.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storing section for storing output history data in which the image file and the output history of the image file are correlated with each other,

wherein the display displays the output history based on the output history data.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5, wherein in response to the output of the image file from any one of the output sections, the output history data corresponding to the image file is updated.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of the output sections include at least two systems selected from the group consisting of a wired communication, a wireless communication, an optical communication, an infrared communication, a universal serial bus, a serial transmission, and a parallel transmission.

8. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the output history includes at least any one of an output destination, an output day and time, and an indication to identify the output section, of the image file being output.

9. A terminal apparatus for outputting image files to an external apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of output sections each configured to output an image file to the external apparatus, wherein the image file remains in the terminal apparatus at least temporarily after being outputted, wherein said plurality of output sections comprise different types of output sections;

a first storing section configured to store output history data in which the image file and an output history of the image file are correlated with each other, wherein the output history comprises information to specify from which of the plurality of output sections the image file is outputted, and an output destination for the image file outputted via the output sections; and

a display displaying as a list a plurality of output sections through which the output image file was sent;

wherein the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files, wherein if the image file and another image file which is different from the image file are concurrently outputted from anyone of the output sections, the display displays both the output history of the image file and information of the another image file.

10. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, further comprising:

a selecting section for selecting one of the image files,

wherein the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files, wherein the display displays the output history of the selected image file.

11. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files, wherein the display displays the output history for each of the output sections.

12. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, further comprising:

a second storing section for storing the image file; and

a deleting section which deletes one of the image files from the second storing section;

wherein the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files,

wherein the display displays the output history of the image file to be deleted, before the image file is deleted by the deleting section.

13. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files, wherein the display displays the output history based on the output history data.

14. The terminal apparatus according to claim 13, wherein in response to the output of the image file from any one of the output sections, the output history data corresponding to the image file is updated.

15. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the plurality of the output sections include at least two systems selected from the group consisting of a wired communication, a wireless communication, an optical communication, an infrared communication, a universal serial bus, a serial transmission, and a parallel transmission.

16. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9, wherein

the display is configured to display the output history for each of the image files, and

the output history includes at least any one of an output section, an output day and time, and an indication to identify the output section, of the image file being output.
