Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a generation unit configured to read an image of a document and to generate an image file based on the read image, a transmission unit configured to transmit the image file generated by the generation unit, a determination unit configured to determine a file name of the image file, and a reception unit configured to receive patient information from an information processing apparatus. The determination unit determines the file name of the image file based on patient information selected by a user from the patient information received by the reception unit.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scanner;
- a communicator that receives patient information and category information of a document from an information processing apparatus;
- and
- a controller;
- wherein the controller receives selection of patient information from the received patient information by a user,
- wherein the controller displays, in response to the selection of the patient information, the category information on a display,
- wherein the controller receives selection of category information from the displayed category information and a scan instruction by the user,
- wherein the controller displays, in a grayout state, category information in which an image file is registered and for which a predetermined period has not elapsed from registration of the image file,
- wherein the controller displays, in a non-grayout state, category information in which an image file is registered and for which the predetermined period has elapsed from registration of the image file,
- wherein the scanner scans, based on the scan instruction, an image of a document and generates an image file and then the controller determines, based on the selected patient information and the selected category information, a file name of the image file, the determined file name including the selected patient information and the selected category information, and
- wherein the communicator transmits the generated image file to a server.
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- receiving patient information and category information of a document from an information processing apparatus;
- receiving selection of patient information from the received patient information by a user;
- displaying, in response to the selection of the patient information, the category information on a display;
- receiving selection of category information from the displayed category information and a scan instruction by the user;
- wherein category information in which an image file is registered and for which a predetermined period has not elapsed from registration of the image file is displayed in a grayout state,
- wherein category information in which an image file is registered and for which the predetermined period has elapsed from registration of the image file is displayed in a non-grayout state,
- scanning, based on the scan instruction, an image of a document and generating an image file and then determining, based on the selected patient information and the selected category information, a file name of the image file, the determined file name including the selected patient information and the selected category information;
- and
- transmitting the generated image file to a server.
