Management system including display apparatus and data management apparatus for displaying data on the display apparatus, and data acquisition method

A management system including a data management apparatus which stores data and a display apparatus for displaying the data, said data management apparatus comprising:

• a data storing portion to store the data including a plurality of page data;
• an access key generating portion to generate an access key for an access to each of the plurality of page data included in said data;
• and
• a data transmitting portion, on a condition that said access key is received from an external device, to transmit page data corresponding to said access key among the plurality of page data included in said data to said external device which had transmitted the access key;
• said display apparatus comprising:
• a communication portion to perform wireless communication with said external device located within a predetermined distance;
• a display portion to display said data stored in said data storing portion by said data management apparatus;
• an access key acquiring portion to acquire said access key;
• and
• an access key transmitting portion, in response to reception of a request from said external device by said communication portion, to cause said communication portion to transmit said acquired access key to said external device,
• wherein said access key generating portion, on a condition that a state of said display portion displaying any one of the plurality of page data included in said data is detected, generates said access key for an access to said displayed page data, wherein said access key has a validity period set therefor,
• wherein said data management apparatus further comprises a validity detecting portion to detect that said generated access key is within its validity period set in advance,
• wherein said data transmitting portion transmits said data to said external device that had transmitted the access key, on a condition that said generated access key is within its validity period,
• wherein said display portion included in said display apparatus displays said data in units of the page data included in said data, and
• wherein said access key includes a first access key permitting an access to the one of the plurality of page data that is being displayed by said display portion, and a second access key permitting an access to all of the plurality of page data included in said data.

A data acquisition method carried out by a data management apparatus and a display apparatus, the data management apparatus having a data storing portion to store data including a plurality of page data, the display apparatus displaying the data, the method causing said data management apparatus to perform the steps of:

• on a condition that any one of the plurality of page data included in said data is displayed, generating an access key for an access to the displayed page data included in the data stored in said data storing portion;
• and
• on a condition that said data management apparatus receives said access key from an external device, transmitting the displayed page data according to said access key included in the data stored in said data storing portion to said external device that had transmitted the access key;
• the method causing said display apparatus to perform the steps of:
• performing wireless communication with said external device located within a predetermined distance;
• displaying said data stored in said data management apparatus;
• acquiring said access key;
• and
• transmitting said acquired access key to said external device in response to reception of a request from said external device,
• wherein said display portion included in said display apparatus displays said data in units of the page data included in said data, and
• wherein the access key includes a first access key permitting an access to the one of the plurality of page data that is being displayed by said display portion, and a second access key permitting an access to all of the plurality of page data included in said data.
