Abstract
An information processing system including an information processing apparatus that selects between transferring data and obtaining data, and controls transferring data or obtaining data based on the selection. The system also includes a server that stores data transferred from the information processing apparatus, and controls transferring data to the information processing apparatus based on a request for transferring data received from the information processing apparatus.
Claims20
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus including
- a scanner configured to scan a document and generate image data;
- a selector configured to select a storing destination of the image data generated by the scanner;
- a first transmitter configured to transfer the image data generated by the scanner to the storing destination selected by the selector;
- and
- a receiver configured to receive, when the image data transferred by the first transmitter is selected, the image data from the storing destination;
- and
- a server including
- a memory configured to store, when the image data has been received from the information processing apparatus, the image data in a predetermined area;
- and
- a second transmitter configured to send, when a request for obtaining the image data has been received from the information processing apparatus, the image data to the information processing apparatus that sent the image data.
An information processing method performed by an information processing system, the method comprising:
- scanning, by a scanner at an information processing apparatus, a document and generating image data based on the scanned document;
- selecting, by a selector of the information processing apparatus, a storing destination of the image data generated by the scanner;
- controlling, by first circuitry at the information processing apparatus, transferring the image data generated by the scanner to the storing destination selected in the selecting;
- controlling, by the first circuitry at the information processing apparatus, connecting to the storing destination of the image data to receive the image data when the image data transferred in the transferring is selected;
- storing, at a memory of a server, the image data received from the information processing apparatus in a predetermined area;
- and
- controlling, by second circuitry of the server, transferring the image data to the information processing apparatus that sent the image data when a request for obtaining the image data has been received from the information processing apparatus.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program instructions, which when executed by an information processing apparatus and a server, cause the information processing apparatus and the server to:
- scan, by a scanner at the information processing apparatus, a document and generate image data based on the scanned document;
- select, by the information processing apparatus, a storing destination of the image data generated by the scanner;
- transfer, by the information processing apparatus, the image data generated by the scanner to the selected storing destination;
- connect, by the information processing apparatus, when the image data transferred is selected, to the storing destination of the image data to receive the image data from the storing destination;
- store, by the server, when the image data has been received from the information processing apparatus, the image data in a predetermined area;
- and
- transfer, by the server, when receiving a request for obtaining the image data has been received from the information processing apparatus, the image data to the information processing apparatus that sent the image data.
