Multi-functional device and method of storing a transmission list of users in the same

A multi-functional device having a user interface comprising:

• an authentication portion to authenticate a plurality of users including at least a first user in the device as an authenticated user and at least one guest user as a temporary authenticated user;
• a recently transmitted selection portion to enable an active authenticated user from among the plurality of authenticated users to select one or more target addresses from a plurality of recently transmitted addresses in a list to which image data has been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users while preventing the active authenticated user from selecting any target addresses to which image data has been transmitted by the at least one guest user when the first user is the active authenticated user, and while preventing the at least one guest user from selecting any target addresses to which image data has been transmitted by the at least one guest user when the at least one guest user is an active temporary authenticated user;
• a display device to display a list of recently transmitted network addresses that corresponds to the selected network address type when the plurality of users are authenticated while preventing the authenticated user from selecting any target addresses to which image data has been transmitted by the at least one guest user when the authenticated user is the active authenticated user, and while preventing the at least one guest user from selecting any target addresses to which image data has been transmitted by the at least one guest user when the at least one guest user is an active temporary authenticated user, wherein the list of recently transmitted network addresses to which data has been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users does not include addresses to which only the at least one guest user has transmitted image data;
• and
• a storage unit to store and manage the list of recently transmitted network addresses to which data has recently been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users in a transmission address list of the plurality of authenticated users while excluding the storage of recently transmitted network addresses to which data has recently been transmitted by the at least one guest user when the at least one authenticated user is the active authenticated user and when the at least one guest user is an active temporary authenticated user, wherein the storage unit stores and manages lists of the recently transmitted network addresses corresponding to the plurality of authenticated users.

A method of managing network addresses in a multi-functional device that scans image data, the method comprising:

• authenticating a plurality of users including a first user as an authenticated user and a guest user as a temporary authenticated user;
• displaying a list of recently transmitted network addresses that corresponds to a selected network address type, where the display of the list of the recently transmitted network addresses corresponds to one authenticated user from the plurality of authenticated users while excluding the display of a list of recently transmitted network addresses that corresponds to the guest user;
• selecting at least one network address from the list;
• scanning image data from a document;
• transmitting the scanned image data to the at least one selected network address;
• and
• storing at least one transmission address list including the at least one network address when the first user is an active authenticated user while excluding the storage of a transmission address list including the at least one network address when the guest user is an active temporary authenticated user, wherein the transmission address list includes addresses to which data has recently been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users, and the transmission address list to which data has been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users does not include addresses to which data has recently been transmitted by the guest user.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program to execute a method of storing a transmission address list of users in a multi-functional device, the medium comprising:

• an executable code to authenticate a plurality of users including a first user as an authenticated user and a guest user as a temporary authenticated user;
• an executable code to display a list of recently transmitted network addresses that corresponds to a selected network address type, the list not including recently transmitted network addresses of the guest user when the authenticated user is an active authenticated user and when the guest user is an active temporary authenticated user;
• an executable code to select at least one network address from the list;
• an executable code to scan an image data from a document;
• an executable code to transmit scanned image data to the at least one selected network address;
• and
• an executable code to store at least one transmission address list including the at least one network address when the first user is the active authenticated user while excluding the storage of a transmission address list including the at least one network address when the guest user is the active temporary authenticated user, the transmission list comprising addresses to which data has recently been transmitted by the plurality of authenticated users, wherein the recent at least one transmission address list does not include addresses to which data has been recently transmitted by the guest user.
