Apparatus for transmitting image, method of transmitting image, computer-readable program and computer-readable storage medium

An image transmitting apparatus which transmits an image to a predetermined transmission destination, the apparatus comprising:

• an input unit arranged to input an image to be transmitted;
• an administrator authentication unit arranged to authenticate administrator authority by user authentication;
• a transmission destination information setting unit arranged to set transmission destination information if the authentication by the administrator authentication unit is successful;
• a transmission destination designation unit arranged to designate a transmission destination to which the image should be transmitted;
• and
• a transmission unit arranged to transmit the image to the transmission destination designated by the transmission destination designation unit and to a transmission destination according to the transmission destination information set by the transmission destination information setting unit.

An image transmitting method in which an image is transmitted to a predetermined transmission destination, the method comprising:

• an inputting step of inputting an image to be transmitted;
• an authentication step of authenticating a user by user authentication;
• a user information acquisition step of obtaining transmission destination information associated with the user if the authentication in the authentication step is successful;
• a transmission destination designation step of designating a transmission destination to which the image should be transmitted;
• a determination step of determining, according to details of the transmission destination designated in the transmission destination designation step, whether or not the image should be transmitted to the transmission designation associated with the user;
• and
• a transmission step of transmitting the image based on the result of determination made by the determination unit.
