a storage device that stores a file; a display device; and a voice device, wherein the control device displays a list of first identification display for specifying the file on the display device when voice of a command for displaying a list is input from a user via the voice device, the control device assigns an identification code to the file displayed in the list, and displays the identification code as second identification display, and the control device selects the file corresponding to the identification code when voice including the identification code is input from the user via the voice device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: a control device; a storage device that, stores a file; a display device; and a voice device, wherein the control device displays a list of first identification display for specifying the file on the display device when voice of a command for displaying a list, is input from a user via the voice device, the control device assigns an identification code to the file displayed in the list, and displays the identification code as second identification display, and the control device selects the file corresponding to the identification code when voice including the identification code is input from the user via the voice device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein when the control device displays the list of the first identification display on the display device, the control device receives input of the voice including the identification code from the user only in a case where the user is able to select the file from the first identification display displayed in the list. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the control device is able to execute a predetermined process, the control device is able to display a list of the first identification display and the second identification display on the display device, when the predetermined process is executed, and the control device selects the file corresponding to the identification code, when the voice including the identification code is input from the user via the voice device while the predetermined process is being executed. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined process is a conference process in which a plurality of users are able to participate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein in a case where voice is input from the user via the voice device and a list is displayed, the control device receives input of the identification code from the voice device, and in a case where input is made from the user via a device other than the voice device and a list is displayed, the control device receives input from the device other than the voice device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein the first identification display is an icon indicating a file name and an attribute of the file. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1 wherein the control device groups the files to be displayed in the list, and assigns one identification code to a plurality of the files included in the same group. ### Claim 8 An image forming system comprising; a control device; a storage device that stores a file; and a display device; and a voice device, wherein the control device displays a list of a thumbnail image of the file on the display device, the control device superimposes an image including an identification code on the thumbnail image displayed in the list, and displays the superimposed images, and in a case where the identification code is input by voice from a user via the voice device, the control device forms an image on the basis of the file corresponding to the identification code. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The image forming system according to claim 8, wherein the image including the identification code is an image whose size is one-third or more of at least a short side of the thumbnail image. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The image forming system according to claim 8, wherein the image including the identification code is an image in which the identification code is included in a rectangular image. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The image forming system according to claim 8, wherein the image including the identification code is an image superimposed and displayed on any corner of the thumbnail image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The image forming system according to claim 8, wherein the control device sequentially selects one thumbnail image from the thumbnail images displayed in the list, and outputs the identification code corresponding to the selected thumbnail image by voice from the voice device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The image forming system according to claim 12, wherein when the identification code corresponding to the selected thumbnail image is output by voice from the voice device, the control device highlights the thumbnail image together with the identification code. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The image forming system according to claim 13, wherein the highlighting is display by at least any one of methods of: enlarging and displaying the thumbnail image; displaying a frame around the thumbnail image; reversing and displaying color of the thumbnail image; and blinking and displaying the thumbnail image. ### Claim 15 The image forming system according to 12, wherein when the identification code corresponding to the selected thumbnail image is output by voice from the voice device, the control device enlarges and displays the image including the identification code together with the identification code.
