Abstract
An image processing device includes a scanning unit configured convert an image of an object into image data, a storage unit storing the image data, and a controller configured to transmit an electronic message to a client computer, such that a screen of the electronic message displayed on the client computer includes a user interface element associated with deleting the image data from the storage unit.
Claims11
An image processing device comprising:
- a scanning unit configured to convert an image of an object into image data;
- a storage unit storing the image data;
- and
- a controller configured to
- receive authority information about one or more users who are authorized to delete the image data from the storage unit,
- control the storage unit to store the authority information in association with the image data,
- transmit an electronic message to a client computer, such that a screen of the electronic message displayed on the client computer includes a user interface element associated with deleting the image data from the storage unit,
- receive a command to delete the image data from the storage unit in response to an operation of the user interface element on the client computer,
- receive, from the client computer, user identification information along with the command, and
- delete the image data from the storage unit when a user identified by the user identification information is an authorized user according to the authority information.
A method for processing image data, comprising:
- converting an image of an object into image data at an image processing device;
- storing the image data in a storage unit;
- receiving authority information about one or more users who are authorized to delete the image data from the storage unit;
