Abstract
In order to enable a still image to be checked while preventing leakage of confidential information contained in the still image, an MFP includes: an image acquiring portion to acquire a still image; an encoding portion to generate encoded data by encoding the acquired still image using an encoding key stored in advance; a decoding portion to decode the encoded data using the encoding key or a decoding key corresponding to the encoding key; and a transmitting portion to externally output the decoded still image in an electronically non-recordable form.
Claims33
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image acquiring portion to acquire a still image;
- an encoding portion to generate encoded data by encoding said acquired still image using an encoding key stored in advance;
- a decoding portion to decode said encoded data using said encoding key or a decoding key corresponding to said encoding key;
- and
- an outputting portion to externally output said decoded still image in an electronically non-recordable form.
An image outputting method comprising:
- acquiring a still image;
- generating encoded data by encoding said acquired still image using an encoding key stored in advance;
- decoding said encoded data using said encoding key or a decoding key stored in advance to correspond to said encoding key;
- and
- externally outputting said decoded still image in an electronically non-recordable form.
An image outputting program embodied on a computer readable medium, said program causing a computer to execute processing comprising:
- acquiring a still image;
- generating encoded data by encoding said acquired still image using an encoding key stored in advance;
- decoding said encoded data using said encoding key stored in advance or a decoding key stored in advance to correspond to said encoding key;
- and
- externally outputting said decoded still image in an electronically non-recordable form.
