Network system, method, and computer readable medium for image processing apparatus with transmission and storage capability of generated data to specific storage location in data server

An image processing apparatus capable of exchanging data with at least one server over a network, comprising:

• a display;
• an obtaining unit obtaining from said at least one server first data containing plural pieces of link information, each link information correlates a file name of image data to a storage position of the image data, and obtaining second data containing information for identifying said link information having no image data in a corresponding storage position among said plural pieces of link information contained in said first data;
• a display control unit making said display selectively display first link information having image data in a corresponding storage position and second link information having no image data in the corresponding storage position in different formats, based on said second data;
• a scanning unit scanning an image to generate image data;
• and
• a transmission unit transmitting, in accordance with a selection command from a user for selecting a piece among the displayed second link information, the generated image data to the corresponding storage position.

An image data storing method in a network system including at least one server, comprising the steps of:

• storing in said at least one server first data containing plural pieces of link information, each link information correlates a file name of image data to a storage position of the image data;
• obtaining second data containing information for identifying
• said link information having no image data in a corresponding storage position among said plural pieces of link information contained in said first data;
• selectively displaying first link information having image data in a corresponding storage position and second link information having no image data in the corresponding storage position in different formats, based on said second data;
• scanning an image to generate image data;
• selecting a piece among the displayed second link information;
• and
• storing the generated image data in the corresponding storage position in accordance with the selected piece.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image data transmitting program for causing an image processing apparatus to transmit image data to a server over a network, wherein

• said server stores first data containing plural pieces of link information, each link information correlate a file name of image data to a storage position of the image data,
• said image processing apparatus includes
• a display,
• a scanning unit,
• a transmission/reception unit exchanging data with said server over said network, and
• a controller controlling operations of said image processing apparatus, and said image data transmitting program causing said controller to execute the steps of:
• obtaining said first data from said server through said transmission/reception unit, in accordance with a first user request;
• making an inquiry about existence or nonexistence of each image data specified by said link information contained in the obtained first data to said server through said transmission/reception unit, in accordance with a second user request;
• generating second data containing information for identifying said link information having no image data in a corresponding storage position among said plural pieces of link information, based on said first data and a response to said inquiry;
• making said display selectively display first link information having image data in a corresponding storage position and second link information having no image data in the corresponding storage position in different formats, based on said second data;
• making said scanning unit scan an image to generate image data;
• and
• transmitting, in accordance with a selection command from a user for selecting a piece among the displayed second link information, the generated image data to the corresponding storage position through said transmission/reception unit.
