  • Patent number: 8826012
    Abstract: A communication apparatus transmits data to a plurality of destinations. The apparatus includes a first input unit that inputs an individual setting as to whether the data is encrypted for each of the plurality of destinations for an encryption transmission. The apparatus also includes a second input unit that inputs an individual setting as to whether the data is encrypted for each transmission job. Further, the apparatus includes a transmission control unit that, when the transmission job includes at least two sets of the destinations, if the transmission job is set to be encrypted, performs the encryption transmission for each of the destinations, and, if the transmission job is set to be not encrypted, performs the encryption transmission for each of the destinations to be encrypted and performs a transmission without an encryption for each of the destinations not to be encrypted.

  • Patent number: 8595720
    Abstract: In a client apparatus, when a request to install a program stored in a server is received, a dependence display creating unit acquires server program information including information indicating the program stored in the server and information indicating the dependence between the program and other programs, and acquires apparatus program information including information indicating a program installed in the client apparatus. The dependence display creating unit creates a display screen on the basis of the information indicating the dependence in the server program information such that the dependence between a program which is designated to be installed and other programs is clear. In addition, the dependence display creating unit displays information indicating an installed program among the programs to be installed, on the basis of the apparatus program information.
