Claims9
An image reading device comprising:
- a scanner to read a document into an image, the image to be transmitted to a predetermined destination;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- determine a document type of the document based on the image;
- determine whether to confirm the predetermined destination based on a frequency with which an image of the determined document type is transmitted to the predetermined destination;
- display, on a display, a screen to confirm the predetermined destination based on a determination indicating that the predetermined destination is to be confirmed;
- and
- transmit the image to the predetermined destination based on a confirmation, wherein
- the circuitry is further configured to determine that the predetermined destination is to be confirmed in a case the image of the determined document type was sent to the predetermined destination more than a predetermined period of time ago.
An image reading method comprising:
- reading a document into an image;
- receiving input or selection of a predetermined destination to which the image is sent;
- determining a document type of the document;
- determining whether to confirm the predetermined destination based on a frequency with which the image of the determined document type is transmitted to the predetermined destination;
- displaying, on a display, a screen to confirm the predetermined destination based on a determination indicating that the predetermined destination is to be confirmed;
- and
- transmitting the image to the predetermined destination based on a confirmation, wherein the method further comprises determining that the predetermined destination is confirmed in a case the image of the determined document type was sent to the predetermined destination more than a predetermined period of time ago.
