  • Patent number: 11076057
    Abstract: In an image scanning apparatus, an image scanning unit scans one or more page images from a document of one or more pages and generates image data of the one or more page images. An image acquiring unit acquires the image data, generates a document image file including the image data, and stores the document image file into a specific folder. A communication processing unit transmits to a specific destination a message that includes a network identifier of the document image file. A server unit transmits the document image file upon receiving a transmission request that specifies the network identifier. Further, the communication processing unit includes a shrink image of a predetermined page among the one or more page into the message; and the server unit performs image search for the shrink image as a search key upon receiving an image search request that specifies the shrink image.

  • Patent number: 10860644
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a storage device where one or plural document boxes are arranged, and a box save processing unit. The box save processing unit is configured to determine a document box as a save location of an image file of a document image among the one or plural document boxes, specify a file name of the document image, and save the image file in the determined document box. Further, the box save processing unit (a) determines a file name extraction rule in box property data of the determined document box, (b) extracts a file name from an area specified by the file name extraction rule in the document image, and (c) specifies the extracted file name to the image file and saves the image file in the determined document box.

  • Patent number: 10397416
    Abstract: A document reading device (20) includes a document reading unit (5) that optically reads an image of a source document, a character string recognizer (102) that recognizes a character string included in a designated region in the source image read by the document reading unit (5), and an image storage controller (103) that stores the source image read by the document reading unit (5) in a storage device. The image storage controller (103) generates, when a character string recognized by the character string recognizer (102) in the source image in a designated page of the source document, and a character string recognized by the character string recognizer (102) in the source image in a preceding page are different from each other, one file including the source images up to the preceding page, and stores the file in the storage device (92).

  • Patent number: 9924057
    Abstract: In order to promote the use of a display panel as an operation panel part, if a communicable terminal device (9) is detected (S1), a CPU (10) requests the terminal device (9) to transmit panel information (S2), and determines, on the basis of the panel information, whether or not the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of an operation panel part (6) (S3). If the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of the operation panel part (6), the CPU (10) displays a terminal device utilization screen on a display panel (61) (S4). If an operation of an image forming device (1) by the terminal device (9) is selected by a user, the CPU (10) generates data for displaying an image of an operation screen based on the display on the display panel (61) and a setting value set by the operation of the operation panel part (6), and transmits the data to the terminal device (9) (S6).

  • Patent number: 9554003
    Abstract: A management server includes a communication unit configured to receive job data and transmit the job data to the image forming apparatus so that the image forming apparatus executes the job, and a registering unit. When the communication unit receives the job data containing account information, if it is determined that the account information contained in the job data satisfies the registration condition, the registering unit registers the account information contained in the job data. If it is determined that the registration condition is not satisfied, the registering unit does not register the account information contained in the job data.

  • Publication number: 20160028678
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic mail sending device able to simply confirm and correct a designated destination. To this end, an electronic mail sending device (10) is used which is able to set a destination (mail address) of an electronic mail using address data (30) in which a plurality of address records are previously registered. Group information composed of a plurality of group items is registered together with destinations in the address records. A mail generation part (20) that compares a common item in the group information whose destination has already been set with the group information whose destination is newly set when a new destination is designated in a state where a destination is set. When both group information is inconsistent with each other, the electronic generation part (20) causes a display part (13) to display a warning screen, newly designated and notifies inconsistency between both group information.

  • Publication number: 20120162691
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit, a print accepting unit, an image forming unit, a determination unit, a display control unit and a print control unit. The determination unit determines whether any print data accepted by the print accepting unit include both print data retaining print setting information and print data not retaining any print setting information. The display control unit causes a display message about invalidation of the print setting information retained in the print data, upon a determination that the accepted print data include both print data retaining the print setting information and print data not retaining any print setting information. The print control unit invalidates the print setting information retained in the print data accepted by the print accepting unit and causes the image forming unit to print based on the print data, after the message is displayed by the displayed.
