Patent number: 8259988Abstract: It is an object to provide an image processing system, an information processing apparatus and a computer program, capable of utilizing a data protection function possessed by the image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus connected to a communication network together with one or more image processing apparatuses acquires from each of the image processing apparatuses a protection function information which indicates whether or not an image processing apparatus has a data protection function for protecting data by encrypting or the like, and intensity information representing an intensity of data protection of the data protection function. The information processing apparatus outputs a list of the image processing apparatuses together with a key mark and security level representing the intensity of data protection in numeral about each image processing apparatus having the data protection function so as to accept selection of the image processing apparatus by which an image is processed.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Okamoto, Katsuyoshi Fujiwara, Naofumi Ueda, Tatsuo Nomura, Syouichirou Yoshiura

Patent number: 7864376Abstract: When an image processing apparatus receives an execution instruction for image processing, it performs management of information related to image processing and image data that is subjected to image processing, as historical data. When the execution instruction for the image processing is received from a user, the image processing apparatus stores image data read from a document or image data received from outside, and then stores process information related to the image processing based on the received execution instruction and the stored image data, as historical data. The image processing apparatus then performs image processing of the image data that is stored in accordance with the received execution instruction.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2005Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yuji Okamoto, Katsuyoshi Fujiwara, Naofumi Ueda, Syouichirou Yoshiura

Patent number: 7669844Abstract: A paper feeder includes a storage section, a feed path, a delivery section, and a receiving section. The storage section is configured to store therein plural sheet members to be fed to a processing apparatus which is operative to perform processing on the sheet members. The feed path allows each of the plural sheet members fed from the storage section to pass therethrough in a feed direction toward the processing apparatus. The delivery section is located most downstream on the feed path in the feed direction. The feed path is open to exterior in the delivery section. The receiving section is located upstream of the feed path in the feed direction for communication with a delivery section of a separate paper feeder having an identical construction with the present paper feeder when the separate paper feeder is disposed upstream of the present paper feeder in the feed direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2005Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiki Ohgita, Jinichi Nagata, Naofumi Okada, Kouzou Yamaguchi, Hideo Yoshikawa, Yasuhiro Takai, Syouichirou Yoshiura, Tsutomu Yoshimoto

Patent number: 7669060Abstract: In a data processing apparatus which performs an output process and a protection process on data stored in a data storage section, and executes user verification when verification data to be used in verification at a time of accepting setting about the protection process is stored in a verification data storage section, execution of a data protection process is permitted or inhibited according to whether the verification data is stored in the verification data storage section or not. As the protection process is executed when user verification is carried out, the security on data protection is kept at a high level.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2004Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Katsuyoshi Fujiwara, Yuji Okamoto, Naofumi Ueda, Syouichirou Yoshiura
