Patent number: 6578053Abstract: A document management system records an operation history associated with an electronic document. When output of a document is instructed, it is determined whether an output history associated with the document exists in the recorded operation history. When it is determined that the output history associated with the document exists, a user is informed of the fact that the document has already been output, who output the document in the past, and when the document was output. The following operation errors can be prevented. That is, a specific document is repeatedly output by a plurality of users, and each operation is repeatedly performed.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1999Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kazuaki Kidokoro, Nobuhisa Yoda, Hiroshi Watanabe, Shiro Takagi

Patent number: 6493472Abstract: CPU of a sheet processing apparatus reads a sheet by a scanner, stores the image of the sheet in an image memory, checks to determine whether expanding, reducing, rotating, synthesizing or other editing operations have been performed for the sheet image stored in the image memory and performs processing for converting the image to a recognizable size and rotating an image before recognizing the read sheet image when determining that editing has been performed. CPU further recognizes sheet ID information contained in the sheet image stored in the image memory by means of a character recognizing section, selects an unrecorded sheet image corresponding to the sheet ID information from a hard disk, stores the image in the image memory and prints out by way of a printer. Thus, sheets synthesized, expanded/reduced, rotated or edited in other ways can be recognized and high image quality of clean and unrecorded sheets can always be provided, thereby maintaining a good recognition rate.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1999Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Shiro Takagi, Takeshi Ogaki, Yoshiko Takeda

Patent number: 5845057Abstract: Terminals, printing apparatus, and digital copying machines are connected to one network N. A document managing portion of the printing apparatus stores document data received through the network N to a document data storing portion, and generates managing data of document data so as to be stored in a document managing table. When an error processing portion detects the occurrence of an error with reference to a table during the printing of document data, an error processing portion determines the other printing apparatus for a substitutive printing with reference to various kinds of tables, and transmits document data. A report sheet issuing portion generates a report sheet image showing a name of a substitutive printing apparatus, a current state of the apparatus having an error, measures to remove the error, etc., and a printing portion prints the report sheet image.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1996Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yoshiko Takeda, Takeshi Ogaki, Shiro Takagi
