Image transmitting apparatus, image transmitting method, and computer readable medium storing program for image transmission

Abstract

An image transmitting apparatus includes: an address acquiring component that acquires an first address of a document image on the basis of address information other than numbers added to the document image; an address input component that receives input of the second address with respect to the document image; a match determining component that determines whether or not the second address that the address input component has received and the first address that the address acquiring component has acquired match; and a transmitting component that transmits the document image in accordance with the determination result of the match determining component.

Claims

1. An image transmitting apparatus comprising: an address acquiring component that acquires a first address of a document image on the basis of address information other than numbers added to the document image;an address input component that receives input of a second address with respect to the document image;a match determining component that determines whether or not the second address that the address input component has received and the first address that the address acquiring component has acquired match; anda transmitting component that transmits the document image in accordance with the determination result of the match determining component.

2. An image transmitting apparatus comprising: an image reading component that reads a document image to which a first address information has been added, the first address information being coded;an address information decoding component that decodes the first address information added to the document image that the image reading component has read;an address information input component that receives input of a second address information with respect to the document image;a match determining component that determines whether or not the second address information that the address information input component has received and the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded match; anda transmitting component that transmits the document image in accordance with the determination result of the match determining component.

3. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; an address information output component that outputs the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded when the match determining component has determined that the second address information that the address information input component has received and the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded do not match.

4. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; a re-input requesting component that requests re-input of the second address information with respect to the address information input component when the match determining component has determined that the second address information that the address information input component has received and the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded do not match, anda control component that controls the transmitting component to transmit the document image in accordance with the second address information that the address information input component has received when the sets of the second address information that the address information input component has received before and after the re-input requesting component requests the re-input match each other.

5. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; a re-input requesting component that requests re-input of the second address information with respect to the address information input component when the match determining component has determined that the second address information that the address information input component has received and the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded do not match, anda control component that controls such that the re-input requesting component requests the re-input until the second address information that the address information input component has received after the re-input requesting component has requested the re-input matches the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded.

6. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; a re-input requesting component that requests re-input of the second address information with respect to the address information input component when the match determining component has determined that the second address information that the address information input component has received and the first address information that the address information decoding component has decoded do not match, anda control component that controls the transmitting component to transmit the document image in accordance with the second address information that the address information input component has received when the second address information that the address information input component has received after the re-input requesting component has requested the re-input.

7. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; a decoding determining component that determines whether or not the address information decoding component is able to normally implement decoding of the first address information,a display component that displays the second address information that the address information input component has received when the decoding determining component has determined that the address information decoding component is not able to normally implement decoding of the first address information, anda transmission instruction input component that receives input instructing the transmitting component whether or not to transmit the document image on the basis of the second address information that the display component has displayed.

8. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising; a decoding determining component that determines whether or not the address information decoding component is able to normally implement decoding of the first address information,a re-input requesting component that requests re-input of the second address information with respect to the address information input component when the decoding determining component has determined that the address information decoding component is not able to normally implement decoding of the first address information, anda control component that controls the transmitting component to transmit the document image in accordance with the second address information that the address information input component has received when the sets of the second address information that the address information input component has received before and after the re-input requesting component requests the re-input match each other.

9. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first address information added to the document image includes a fax number representing an address.

10. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first address information added to the document image includes an e-mail address representing an address.

11. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first address information added to the document image includes transmission source information.

12. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first address information added to the document image includes a two-dimensional code.

13. The image transmitting apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first address information added to the document image includes a one-dimensional code.
