Abstract
A data processing apparatus that received destination information showing a data transfer destination through a network provides a destination ID as identification information for the destination information, and stores the destination ID together with the destination information. The user specifies the provided destination ID and instructs execution of processing at the date processing apparatus. The data processing apparatus transfers data obtained by executing the processing to a transfer destination corresponding to the specified destination ID.
Claims8
A data processing apparatus, comprising:
- an input unit for a user to input information;
- a reception unit which receives destination information indicating a data transfer destination;
- a determining unit which determines first identification information that corresponds to the destination information received by the reception unit;
- a storage unit which stores the first identification information and the destination information in association with each other;
- an execution unit which generates data;
- and
- a transfer unit which transfers the generated data to the data transfer destination indicated by the destination information that corresponds to the first identification information, when the first identification information is input through the input unit,
- wherein the determining unit determines identification information that is distinguishable from other identification information previously stored in the storage unit, and
- wherein the data processing apparatus further comprises:
- a setting unit which sets a term of validity of the first identification information;
- and
- an invalidating unit which automatically invalidates the stored first identification information based on the term of validity,
- wherein the setting unit sets a first term of validity of the first identification information and a second term of validity of the first identification information,
- wherein the first term of validity indicates a term in which non-used identification information is valid,
- wherein the second term of validity indicates a term in which repetitive use of used identification information is allowed, and
- wherein the invalidating unit automatically invalidates the stored first identification information based on the first term of validity for non-used identification information and on the second term of validity for used identification information.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium which stores a computer-executable data processing program, the program comprising:
- first receiving instructions configured to receive destination information indicating a data transfer destination;
- determining instructions configured to determine first identification information that corresponds to the destination information;
- storing instructions configured to store the first identification information and the destination information in association with each other in a storage unit;
- generating instructions configured to generate data;
- second receiving instructions configured to receive user input of the first identification information;
- and
- transferring instructions configured to transfer the data generated according to the generating instructions to the data transfer destination indicated by the destination information that corresponds to the first identification information, when the user input of the first identification information is received according to the second receiving instructions,
- wherein the determining instructions are configured to determine identification information that is distinguishable from other identification information previously stored in the storage unit, and
- wherein the program further comprises:
- setting instructions configured to set a term of validity of the first identification information;
- and
- invalidating instructions configured to automatically invalidate the stored first identification information based on the term of validity,
- wherein the setting instructions are configured to set a first term of validity of the first identification information and a second term of validity of the first identification information,
- wherein the first term of validity indicates a term in which non-used identification information is valid,
- wherein the second term of validity indicates a term in which repetitive use of used identification information is allowed, and
- wherein the invalidating instructions are configured to automatically invalidate the stored first identification information based on the first term of validity for non-used identification information and on the second term of validity for used identification information.
13 more elements
A data processing method implemented by a data processing apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving destination information indicating a data transfer destination;
- determining first identification information that corresponds to the destination information;
- storing the first identification information and the destination information in association with each other in a storage unit;
- generating data;
- receiving user input of the first identification information;
- and
- transferring the generated data to the data transfer destination indicated by the destination information that corresponds to the first identification information, when the user input of the first identification information is received,
- wherein the determining step includes determining identification information that is distinguishable from other identification information previously stored in the storage unit, and
- wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
- setting a term of validity of the first identification information;
- and
- automatically invalidating the stored first identification information based on the term of validity,
- wherein the setting step includes setting a first term of validity of the first identification information and a second term of validity of the first identification information,
- wherein the first term of validity indicates a term in which non-used identification information is valid,
- wherein the second term of validity indicates a term in which repetitive use of used identification information is allowed, and
- wherein the invalidating step includes automatically invalidating the stored first identification information based on the first term of validity for non-used identification information and on the second term of validity for used identification information.
