Image Transmission Access Code for Shared Folder Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image transmission systems face challenges in securely transmitting image files to shared folders, including information leakage and the need for frequent input of authentication and location details, which is cumbersome and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
An image transmission system that generates an access code using authentication information, location information, and restriction information, allowing secure transmission of image files only when the file meets specified conditions, thereby preventing unnecessary data transmission and protecting sensitive information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If authentication information and location information are transmitted separately, then security is improved, but the user input process becomes cumbersome and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines authentication information, location information, and restriction information into a single access code. This merging eliminates the need for users to input multiple separate pieces of information, reducing operational complexity while maintaining security through the integrated nature of the access code.
Solution Approach 2:
The access code serves as an intermediary that encapsulates multiple information elements (authentication, location, restrictions). Instead of directly handling multiple separate information streams, the system uses the access code as a mediator to simplify the user interaction process while preserving all necessary security and control functions.
2Ease of operation
If all image files are transmitted to shared folder, then ease of operation is improved, but information leakage risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by embedding specific restriction information within the access code that corresponds to particular shared folders. Each access code contains tailored restrictions (file size limits, format requirements, expiration dates) that are locally applicable to specific folders, allowing fine-grained control over what can be transmitted where without affecting other folders.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-setting restriction information in the access code before transmission occurs. The restrictions (file size, format, expiration) are established in advance within the access code itself, enabling automatic enforcement at transmission time without requiring additional user input or system intervention to determine what should be blocked.
3Ease of operation
If no restriction information is provided, then ease of operation is improved, but unnecessary data transmission increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes parameters by incorporating specific restriction criteria (file size limits, format requirements, expiration dates) directly into the access code structure. These parameter changes enable the transmission system to automatically filter and reject non-compliant files based on the encoded restrictions, preventing unnecessary data transmission while maintaining simple user operation through the single access code input.

AI summary
An image transmission system includes an information processing apparatus and an image reading apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a first controller generates, upon receipt of authentication information, location information, and restriction information, an access code using the cited information, and transmits the cited information and the access code to the image reading apparatus. In the image reading apparatus, a second controller stores the cited information and the access code, upon receipt thereof, in a storage device. In the case where an image file satisfies a condition indicated by the restriction information, when the information indicating the access code is received, the second controller transmits the image file to the shared folder indicated by the location information, using the authentication information, but keeps from transmitting the image file when the image file does not satisfy the condition indicated by the restriction information.
