Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method of transmitting original image data are disclosed. According to section size information, dividing information of the original image data is generated. The original image data is classified into multiple sets of original image data files using the dividing information. A plurality of section image data files are generated from the multiple sets of original image data files. The plurality of section image data files is transmitted to a destination apparatus according to the dividing information.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus connected to a destination apparatus through a network, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scan processor unit configured to obtain original image data of an original;
- a controller unit configured to generate dividing information of the original image data according to section size information indicating a size of section image data to be generated from the original image data, classify the original image data into multiple sets of original image data files using the dividing information, and generate a plurality of section image data files with each section image data file including one set of original image data files,
- wherein the dividing information of the original image data includes:
- job identification information for identifying one set of original image data files;
- and
- image data identification information, to be registered in association with the job identification information, for identifying each one of original image data files that are classified into the one set of original image data files;
- a data transmission unit configured to transmit the plurality of section image data files to the destination apparatus through the network according to the dividing information;
- a display processor configured to display a user interface to a user;
- and
- a request processor configured to receive a user instruction input by the user through the user interface, wherein when the user instruction received by the request processor includes information indicating that the original image data contains confidential information, the controller unit causes the data transmission unit to transmit the original image data as a single file.
