  • Publication number: 20240106937
    Abstract: A reservation scan control unit of an MFP including a storage device and a scanner unit has a confirmation unit that confirms whether or not a file including an image generated by scan processing executed by the scanner unit can be transmitted to a transmission destination specified by a client terminal, a notification unit that provides a notification about a confirmation result to the client terminal in response to a confirmation that transmission to a transmission destination is not possible, which is a confirmation result, and a storage unit that stores a job including a setting of the scan processing and the transmission destination of a file including an image generated by the scan processing in the storage device, and the reservation scan control unit provides a notification about identification information corresponding to the job to the client terminal based on a confirmation that transmission to the transmission destination is possible, which is a confirmation result.

  • Patent number: 11792333
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus receives, from an information processing apparatus, a scanning request for push scanning for a designated destination, scans an original document and generates image data in response to the scanning request, and transmits, to the destination, a request including authentication information for accessing the destination and the image data, and if a response indicating that an error has occurred in authentication using the authentication information is received, the image reading apparatus saves image data for transmission based on reauthentication and provides a notification of the error to the information processing apparatus. The image reading apparatus transmits, to the destination, a request including authentication information for reauthentication and the saved image data if the authentication information for the reauthentication in response to the notification of the error is received from the information processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11553095
    Abstract: A client terminal that executes an application that can transmit both push scanning and pull scanning instructions to an MFP provided with a scanner apparatus has an acquisition unit that acquires an image to be used for a preview from the MFP by providing an instruction for pull scanning to the MFP if the input of a setting for performing a push scanning is received and a preview setting is further received, a provision unit that provides a preview screen by using the acquired image to be used for a preview; and a transmission unit that transmits a push scanning instruction to the MFP.
