Management Apparatus Address Duplication for Image Readers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The registration process for multiple image readers to transmit scanned data to cloud storage or email destinations is time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to potential omissions.
Innovation Solution
A management apparatus that duplicates address information associated with one image reader to another, allowing efficient setting of transmission destinations for multiple image readers, thereby eliminating the need for repeated registration and ensuring correct data transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If address information is registered individually for each image reader, then transmission destinations can be correctly set for each device, but the registration process becomes time-consuming and error-prone
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by allowing address information registered for one image reader to be duplicated and applied to multiple other image readers. Instead of manually registering the same transmission destination (cloud storage or email address) for each image reader individually, the system copies the registered address information from a source image reader and applies it to target image readers, thereby dramatically reducing registration time while maintaining accuracy through the use of pre-verified address information.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the same address information is manually entered for multiple image readers, then consistent transmission destinations are achieved, but registration omissions and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
By copying address information from one registered image reader to multiple target image readers, the system ensures that the same transmission destination settings are consistently applied across all devices. This eliminates manual entry errors and omissions, as the system automatically replicates the verified address information (cloud storage paths or email addresses) to ensure completeness and consistency of transmission settings.
3Adaptability or versatility
If individual registration is performed for each image reader, then device-specific settings can be customized, but the overall setup complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The copying mechanism simplifies the registration process by allowing administrators to register address information once for a source image reader and then efficiently duplicate it to multiple target image readers. This reduces the overall setup complexity while preserving the ability to customize device-specific settings, as the system provides both bulk copying functionality and the option to modify settings for individual devices after copying.

AI summary
A management apparatus that realizes transmission of scanned data, which is generated by each of a plurality of image readers including a first image reader and a second image reader, in accordance with address information associated with the image reader, the management apparatus including a storage that stores a plurality of pieces of address information including first address information associated with the first image reader and second address information associated with the second image reader, a receiver configured to receive a duplication instruction that duplicates the first address information as the second address information, and a setting section that causes the storage to store the first address information stored in the storage as the second address information in accordance with the duplication instruction.
