Abstract

An image data storing device includes: an image data obtaining unit that obtains image data; a storing unit that stores the image data obtained by the image data obtaining unit into any one of plural storage regions, to each of which a name is assigned; a reception unit that receives the name of the storage region in which the image data is stored from external equipment, the name being obtained by the external equipment that takes the image data from the storage region, and the name being set by a user; and a memory that stores the name received by the reception unit in association with the storage region.

Claims

1. An image data storing device comprising:

at least one hardware processor configured to implement;

an image data obtaining unit that obtains image data;

an authentication unit that authenticates a user;

a storing unit that stores the image data obtained by the image data obtaining unit into any one of a plurality of storage regions, to each of which a name is assigned;

a reception unit that receives the name of the storage region in which the image data is stored from external equipment, the name being obtained by the external equipment that takes the image data from the storage region, and the name being set by the user; and

a name candidate creation unit that creates a candidate of the name to be set by the user when the authentication unit does not authenticate the user;

a memory that stores the name received by the reception unit in association with the storage region; and

a transmission unit that transmits the candidate of the name created by the name candidate creation unit to the external equipment.

2. The image data storing device according to claim 1, wherein, even in a state in which any of the plurality of storage regions is not selected by a user, the image data obtained by the image data obtaining unit is stored into any one of the plurality of storage regions.

3. The image data storing device according to claim 2, wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to implement:

a notification unit that notifies the user of identifying information in a case where the image data obtained by the image data obtaining unit is stored into any one of the plurality of storage regions in a state in which the storage region is not selected by the user, the identifying information identifying the storage region into which the image data is stored.

4. The image data storing device according to claim 3, wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to implement:

a transmission unit that transmits information to the external equipment when the user takes the image data from the storage region via the external equipment,

wherein the information causes a screen for prompting the user to set the name to be displayed on the external equipment.

5. The image data storing device according to claim 2 wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to implement:

a transmission unit that transmits information to the external equipment when the user takes the image data from the storage region via the external equipment,

wherein the information causes a screen for prompting the user to set the name to be displayed on the external equipment.

6. The image data storing device according to claim 1, wherein the at least one hardware processor is further configured to implement:

a transmission unit that transmits information to the external equipment when the user takes the image data from the storage region via the external equipment,

wherein the information causes a screen for prompting the user to set the name to be displayed on the external equipment.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

storing image data into any one of a plurality of storage regions, to each of which a name is assigned;

receiving the name of the storage region in which the image data is stored from external equipment, the name being obtained by the external equipment that takes the image data from the storage region, and the name being set by a user;

associating the received name with the storage region, and then storing the name in a memory;

creating a candidate of the name to be set by the user when the user is not authenticated; and

transmitting the candidate of the name created by the creating to the external equipment.
