Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or equivalent components and parts are given the same reference numerals. Also, the dimensional ratios in the drawings are exaggerated for the convenience of explanation and may be different from the actual ratios.

[0027] First, an overview of the premise of this embodiment will be described. Paperless operations that digitize FAX documents and transfer FAX data to a server or the like have become widespread. In paperless operations, the job flow function of a digital multifunction device having a facsimile function and a printing function is used to transfer FAX data via an in-house server or email so that it can be viewed from a PC. The job flow function is associated with a parent tray. The parent tray is a storage area for storing various data such as received FAX data. Note that the job flow function is a function that executes a set of jobs that can be executed continuously. For example, in the case of a job flow for transferring FAX data to an in-house server, a series of jobs such as a job for selecting FAX data to be transferred, a job for setting the destination server, and a job for executing the transfer are automatically executed.

[0028] On the other hand, as telework becomes more prevalent, for example, there is an increasing number of work styles such as working in the office for half of the week and working from home for the other half. When working from home, it is assumed that there may be cases where it is desired to transfer FAX data to an external environment. However, normal paperless operations are premised on accessing FAX data from within the company. In addition, there are security concerns about transferring FAX data to an external network.

[0029] Here, the digital multi-function device has a multi-interface function. By using the multi-interface function, multiple Internet lines can be connected, and the communication network can be switched according to the purpose. In the multi-interface, from the perspective of security, it is common to associate only one network interface with each parent tray and permit only one communication path. For example, the network interface is divided into an internal company communication use and an external company communication use. In such a division of the network interface, from the perspective of security, the communication path permitted for the parent tray in which FAX data is stored is set to be limited to the internal company network. However, in a telework environment, there may be cases where FAX data needs to be transferred to an external server on an external network on some days. In such a case, it is necessary to change the setting of the network interface of the parent tray, but it causes labor in operation and security concerns. As for the labor in operation, for example, the advantage of having a function to automatically transfer to the parent tray is lost because the network interface is set manually. Also, it is assumed that the operation becomes complicated, such as having to change the setting each time. As for the security concern, for example, if the setting of the network interface of the parent tray is changed to transfer to an external server as well, there is a risk that FAX data that does not need to be transferred to the external server will also be transferred to the external server.

[0030] Therefore, in this embodiment, in the case of a specific condition specified in advance, the FAX data is copied to the parent tray with a different network interface set and transferred to the external server. Thereby, a function can be provided that can transfer the FAX data to the target location while ensuring security without changing the configuration of the network interface each time. Also, there is no need to introduce a new system, and the introduction cost can be suppressed. Note that this is similarly applicable not only to FAX data but also to scan data obtained by scanning and reading a document.

[0031] [First Embodiment] Referring to FIG. 1, the configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes an information processing apparatus 100, an in-house server 110, and an external server 120. Here, the in-house server 110 is, for example, a server whose access authority is limited from an in-house network, and the external server 120 is, for example, a server that can be connected from a VPN or the like used for telecommuting.

[0032] Note that the terms "in-house" and "outside the company" here refer to the division of the network for the convenience of explaining this embodiment. Regarding the communication of the in-house network, it refers not only to the communication of the entire company but also to the case where communication with some in-house servers is permitted, and also includes the case where communication with servers of affiliated companies or the like is permitted. Regarding the communication of the outside-the-company network, it does not mean that all Internet connections are permitted, and includes the case where communication is permitted only with specific external servers. In this embodiment, the information processing apparatus 100 receives FAX data via a FAX line. Communication between the information processing apparatus 100 and the in-house server 110 is performed via a LAN 1 for in-house communication. Communication between the information processing apparatus 100 and the external server 120 is performed via a LAN 2 for external transfer.

[0033] In this embodiment, the information processing apparatus 100 applies a digital multifunction device having a facsimile function, an image printing function, an image reading function, an image transmission function, and the like. The transfer of FAX data, which is the main purpose of this embodiment, is included in the facsimile function. The facsimile function includes a function of storing the received FAX document as FAX data in a parent display box and transferring it to the in-house server 110 by a job flow.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 includes a UI (User Interface) unit 11, an information processing unit 20, and a network interface unit 30. Note that the UI unit 11 and the information processing unit 20 may be configured separately from the information processing apparatus 100. Further, although the information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is mainly provided with an image forming unit, a paper feeding unit for supplying recording paper, etc., since these are not the main configurations of the present disclosure, the description thereof is omitted here.

[0035] Next, the hardware configuration of the UI unit 11 according to the present embodiment will be described. The UI unit 11 according to the present embodiment includes an input unit 12 and a display unit 14.

[0036] The input unit 12 includes a pointing device such as a mouse and a keyboard, and is used to receive various input information.

[0037] The display unit 14 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays various information. The display unit 14 may adopt a touch panel method and function as the input unit 12. The display of various information includes the display of a parent expansion box.

[0038] Next, the hardware configuration of the information processing unit 20 according to the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, an information processing apparatus such as a computer or a server may be applied as the information processing unit 20. The information processing unit 20 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 21, a memory 22 as a temporary storage area, and a non-volatile storage unit 23. Each configuration is connected to each other via a bus B2.

[0039] The storage unit 23 is implemented by a storage device such as an HDD, an SSD, or a flash memory. Note that an information processing program 23A is stored in the storage unit 23 as a storage medium. The CPU 21 reads out the information processing program 23A from the storage unit 23 and expands it in the memory 22, and sequentially executes the processes included in the information processing program 23A. Further, various information that needs to be stored, such as an information storage unit 23B, is stored in the storage unit 23. For example, network settings 30A and condition settings 40A are stored in the information storage unit 23B.

[0040] The network interface unit 30 includes network interfaces (I / Fs) 31A, 31B, and 31C. Note that the network I / Fs are described in three cases for convenience of explanation, but the number of network I / Fs can be set as required as appropriate.

[0041] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a list of network settings of the network interface unit 30. In the network setting 30A, for the network I / Fs 31A, 31B, and 31C, the type of FAX line or LAN used in the network and the communication destinations within the company or outside the company as communicable destinations are defined. Also, an expansion box is associated with the network I / F, and it is defined which network I / F the expansion box can communicate with. The network I / F 31A has a FAX line set in the network, and FAX data can be transmitted and received with the outside through the FAX line network. The network I / F 31B has LAN1 set in the network, and FAX data can be transferred to the in-company server 110 within the company through the LAN1 network. The network I / F 31C has LAN2 set in the network, and FAX data can be transferred to an external server 120 such as a cloud server outside the company through the LAN2 network. The expansion box A1 is linked to the network I / F 31B. The expansion box A2 is linked to the network I / F 31B. Note that the expansion box is a storage area preset for storing data and can be operated from the UI unit 11. Also, although an example of associating the network of the expansion box in the above network setting 30A has been described, the association may be set as appropriate, and a separate table from the network setting 30A may be provided for setting. The expansion box A1 is an example of the first storage area of the present disclosure, and the expansion box A2 is an example of the second storage area.

[0042] In the example of the present embodiment, the expansion box A1 is set to be communicable only with the in-company server 110, and the expansion box A2 is set to be communicable only with the external server 120. Also, although the case where FAX data is stored in the expansion box A1 will be described as an example, FAX data may be stored in a plurality of expansion boxes, and in that case, the same setting as that of the expansion box A1 may be performed for each expansion box.

[0043] The facsimile function of the information processing apparatus 100 is set as a default setting to store received FAX data in the parent expansion box A1. Also, a job flow for transferring the stored FAX data to the in-house server 110 is set in the parent expansion box A1, and a job flow for transferring the stored FAX data to the external server 120 is set in the parent expansion box A2. Note that transferring FAX data to the external server 120 is an example of the transmission mode of the present disclosure. Other transmission modes include email transmission of FAX data. When sending an email, an email address that permits the transmission is associated with the parent expansion box.

[0044] The flow of the data transfer process according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the flow of the data transfer process by the information processing apparatus 100. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the data transfer process of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment.

[0045] In step S100, the CPU 21 receives FAX data via the FAX line and stores the received FAX data in the parent expansion box A1. Note that the necessary digitization process may be performed before storage.

[0046] In step S102, the CPU 21 executes the job flow of the parent expansion box A1 upon the storage of the FAX data, and transfers the FAX data stored in the parent expansion box A1 to the in-house server 110 via the LAN 1.

[0047] In step S104, the CPU 21 acquires the condition setting 40A from the information storage unit 23B.

[0048] The conditional setting 40A will be described. The conditional setting 40A is information for setting the specification of the conditions for transferring FAX data to an external network. As conditions, at least one of the period condition and the content condition is set in the parent expansion box A1. For the period condition, the date, date and time, day of the week, etc. can be set. For example, if the telework day is Wednesday, it is a condition that it is Wednesday. The period condition may be a condition combining the date, date and time, and day of the week. Also, a content condition according to the content of the received FAX data may be set. As the content condition, for example, the sender's telephone number and the analysis result of the document can be set. In the case of the analysis result of the document, the document type such as an order form or a purchase order, or a name such as a specific company name or personal name can be used as a condition. These period conditions and content conditions may be combined conditions. Note that the conditions set in the conditional setting 40A are an example of the specified conditions of the present disclosure.

[0049] In step S106, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the conditions of the conditional setting 40A are satisfied. If the conditions are satisfied, the process proceeds to step S108, and if the conditions are not satisfied, the process ends.

[0050] In step S108, the CPU 21 copies the FAX data in the parent expansion box A1 to the parent expansion box A2. The process of this step is performed by presetting a job to copy the FAX data when the conditions of the conditional setting 40A are satisfied as the setting of the job in the parent expansion box A1 and executing the job. In this way, by executing the copy to another parent expansion box as a job, a log can be accumulated and it is possible to track which FAX data has been transferred.

[0051] In step S110, when the FAX data is stored, the CPU 21 executes the job flow of the parent expansion box A2 and transfers the FAX data copied to the parent expansion box A2 to the external server 120 via the LAN 2.

[0052] As described above, according to this embodiment, FAX data can be transferred to a different network without changing the configuration of the network associated with the parent expansion box.

[0053] [Second Embodiment] In the second embodiment, when FAX data is stored in the parent expansion box A1, an approval email is sent to the administrator, and when the approval is obtained, the FAX data is copied and transferred. By allowing the transfer to an external network when approved, security can be ensured. Since the components of the information processing system according to the second embodiment are the same as those shown in FIG. 1 above, repeated explanations are omitted. The same applies to the following embodiments. Note that the approval email is an example of a notification requesting approval of the present disclosure.

[0054] In the second embodiment, in condition setting 40A, an approval email is sent to the administrator's email address, and it is set on the condition that the approval has been obtained. When the approval is obtained, the FAX data is copied to the parent expansion box A2, and no copy is made when the approval is not obtained. Also, as conditions, a combination of a time period condition, a content condition, and an approval condition may be used. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the flow of approval by the approval email according to the second embodiment. The approval email 50A describes, for example, an explanatory text prompting approval for transfer to an external server 120 of an external network, and a link to the approval screen 50B. The approval screen 50B may be provided, for example, as a web page accessible only from the internal network of the company. The explanatory text prompting approval of the approval email is something like "A request to transfer a FAX to an external server has been received. Please confirm from the following approval screen." On the approval screen 50B, a link where the FAX data can be confirmed and an approval button are displayed. Approval is performed when the administrator confirms the approval content from the approval screen 50B and presses the approval button. Note that instead of the approval screen 50B, it may be configured to simply click on an approval URL to obtain approval.

[0055] Also, the approval by approval email is not limited to the above example. For example, the approval status may be described in the body of the reply email to the approval email. Also, for example, the approval email may be used as a notification to the effect that "a approval request has been received for XXXX (the identification ID of the information processing apparatus 100)", and an approval operation may be performed on the UI unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 100. In this case, the same content as the approval screen 50B may be displayed on the display unit 14 of the UI unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 100, and approval may be obtained by pressing an approval button.

[0056] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of data transfer processing of the information processing apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, S200 is executed after step S104.

[0057] In step S200, the CPU 21 sends an approval email to the administrator. In step S202, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the conditions including the approval by the approval email are satisfied. If the conditions are satisfied, the process proceeds to step S108, and if the conditions are not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S204. In step S204, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the approval has been rejected. If it is determined that the approval has been rejected, the process proceeds to step S206, and if it is determined that the approval has not been rejected, the process ends. In step S206, the CPU 21 sends a notification that the approval has been rejected to the notification email address. The notification email address may be appropriately set, for example, as the management address of the department to which the FAX data is sent, the address of the system administrator, or the like.

[0058] [Third Embodiment] The third embodiment is a mode in which the approval email described in the second embodiment is an approval email for collectively approving a plurality of FAX data received during a certain specified period. FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing a case where an approval email is sent for FAX data during the specified period according to the third embodiment. For example, it is set every hour between 08:00 and 18:00 on Wednesday during the specified period. In this case, if one or more FAX data are stored every hour, an approval email is sent for the FAX data stored during that one hour. For the first hour, an approval email is sent for the FAX data stored between 8:00 and 09:00. In this case, FAX data stored before 08:00 or after 18:00 are not targeted and no approval email is sent. In this way, an approval email is sent for the FAX data stored in the parent file box A1 at the time within the specified period, and no approval email is sent for the FAX data stored in the parent file box A1 at times outside the specified period. Thereby, the FAX data within the specified period can be collectively approved, and the approval can be made more efficient.

[0059] [Fourth Embodiment] In the fourth embodiment, when the period condition is set in the condition setting 40A, or when the specified approval period is defined as in the third embodiment, the display mode of the parent file box A2 displayed on the display unit 14 is changed. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example when the display mode of the parent file box according to the fourth embodiment is changed. As shown in FIG. 8, by changing the color scheme of the icon of the parent file box A2 displayed on the list screen 60 of the parent file boxes, it becomes possible to grasp that the data stored in the parent file box A2 is transferred to an external network. Also, as a guide indicating that it is transferred in addition to the icon as shown in FIG. 8, for example, an explanation to the effect of "The parent file box of A2 will be transferred externally. Please be careful." may be displayed together. Also, an alert sound may be notified when the parent file box A2 is tapped.

[0060] Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the gist of the disclosure.

[0061] For example, in each of the above embodiments, the case where FAX data is copied from the parent display box A1 to the parent display box A2 and then transferred from the parent display box A2 to the external server 120 has been described as an example, but it is not limited thereto. For example, when specified conditions are satisfied, the FAX data may be directly transferred from the parent display box A1 to the external server 120. In this case, the parent display box A2 is not used. FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing the flow in the case of directly performing data transfer processing from the parent display box. In this case, the parent display box A1 is associated with a network I / F 31B used during normal times and a conditional network I / F 31C used only when specified conditions are satisfied.

[0062] Note that in each of the above embodiments, the information processing executed by the CPU by loading software (program) may be executed by various processors other than the CPU. Examples of the processor in this case include a PLD (Programmable Logic Device) whose circuit configuration can be changed after manufacture, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and a dedicated electric circuit which is a processor having a circuit configuration specifically designed to execute specific processing, such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Further, the information processing may be executed by one of these various processors, or may be executed by a combination of two or more processors of the same type or different types (for example, a plurality of FPGAs, and a combination of a CPU and an FPGA, etc.). Further, the hardware structure of these various processors is, more specifically, an electric circuit combining circuit elements such as semiconductor elements.

[0063] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, although the mode in which the program for information processing is pre-stored (installed) in the ROM or the storage has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. The program may be provided in a form recorded on a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read Only Memory), or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. Further, the program may be in a form downloaded from an external device via a network.

[0064] In addition, the operations of the processor in each of the above embodiments may be performed not only by a single processor but also by a plurality of physically separated processors cooperating with each other. Further, the order of each operation of the processor is not limited to the order described in each of the above embodiments and may be changed as appropriate.
