  • Publication number: 20160134766
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which is capable of improving ease of operation for users and also improving security when destinations are made public. The image processing apparatus is shared by a plurality of users and capable of selecting a destination from a plurality of address books and carrying out file transmission to the destination. It is determined whether or not a user has logged in, and when it is determined that the user has logged in, only personal addresses for the logged-in user are displayed on a display unit. The personal destinations displayed on the display unit are switched to destinations other than the personal destinations according to selection by the user. When it is determined that the user has not logged in, all destinations which are registered in the plurality of address books are displayed on the display unit.

  • Publication number: 20160012139
    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).

  • Patent number: 8264745
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of preventing image processing from being performed on data for which an appropriate image processing cannot be carried out and improving the reliability of equipment signature. An MFP as the image processing apparatus reads an original, creates and stores electronic data, and stores electronic data created by an external unit. The electronic data created by the MFP is stored in association with MFP identification information. Electronic data created by the MFP among the stored electronic data is determined based on the MFP identification information. Execution of a function of the MFP on electronic data created by the external unit is restricted.
