  • Patent number: 10412044
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is capable of improving convenience for users in changing names of a user group and a group destination table. An HDD stores a user group including at least one user ID, and a group destination table associated with the user group and including at least one address. A user is prompted to select a user group stored in the HDD and associated with a predetermined group destination table. When a new name for the selected user group is received, the received new name is set as a name of the predetermined group destination table.

  • Patent number: 10115044
    Abstract: An image processing system includes a reception unit configured to receive an input of authentication information from a user, an authentication unit configured to authenticate the user based on the authentication information received by the reception unit, a setting unit configured to set a destination of image data, an operation key configured to set a folder of the user as a destination of the image data, and a transmission unit configured to send the image data to a destination set by the setting unit. The image processing system performs control not to allow a destination setting using the operation key, in the case where a destination to be set by the setting unit is limited to a destination to be set using the operation key and a folder to be set in response to an operation of the operation key is the one to be registered by the user.

  • Publication number: 20170364533
    Abstract: It is an object to reduce a troublesomeness required to export/import an address book (destination table) between image processing apparatuses. For this purpose, at the time of import request of destination data for import, an import instruction to a group destination table is made. A group destination table ID which coincides with a destination table ID obtained from the destination data for import is retrieved. The group destination table associated with the group destination table ID is specified as a group destination table of an import destination side. The destination data obtained from the destination data for import is imported as destination data into the specified group destination table (group destination table DB).
