An information processing apparatus, including a reading apparatus which reads an electronic recording card, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a reading unit which reads the electronic recording card via the reading apparatus and obtains read information; a generating unit which generates user management information of a user who owns the electronic recording card based on the read information obtained by the reading unit; and a holding unit which holds the user management information generated by the generating unit in a predetermined storage area.

An authentication ticket processing apparatus includes a temporary data storage unit configured to keep user information upon receiving the user information from a user management database for managing user information, the temporary data storage unit allowing access thereto to be performed at higher speed than access to the user management database. The authentication ticket processing apparatus is configured such that, when there is a need to acquire user information in response to a decoding request from a server, a check is made whether user information corresponding to the decoding request is present in the temporary data storage unit, and the corresponding user information is acquired from the temporary data storage unit if the corresponding user information is present in the temporary data storage unit.

When a number of document data registered in one of full-text index-for-registration/deletion storage parts reaches a predetermined number, or when a capacity of the full-text index-for-registration/deletion storage part reaches a predetermined capacity, a merge processing is performed for merging data from the full-text index-for-registration/deletion storage part to a full-text index-for-search storage part. While this merge processing is performed, a registration/deletion processing is performed by using another full-text index-for-registration/deletion storage part.

A document managing system is provided with a plurality of document managing apparatuses each configured to retrieve a document stored in a storage according to a document ID and to judge whether or not an operation with respect to the retrieved document is possible according to a user ID that is generated with respect to each document managing apparatus, and a user ID generating apparatus provided externally to the document managing apparatuses and configured to generate a common user ID that is used in common among each of the document managing apparatuses. Each document managing apparatus has an export and import part configured to export and import data of an arbitrary document and an access control list (ACL).

Document managing system, document managing apparatus and document managing method

A communications terminal includes a first memory, an address conversion table, a first web page generator, an electronic mail generator, and first and second communications controllers. The first memory stores a transfer-request image file based on image information, which is sent through a transfer-request call with a destination address from a facsimile terminal. The address conversion table converts the destination address into at least one transfer address which individually corresponds to at least one data terminal. The first web page generator opens a first web page including a link to the transfer-requested image file. The electronic mail generator informs the data terminal of the transfer-request image file by electronic mail including a first web page locator. The first communications controller receives a first delivery request which is sent by the data terminal, using the first web page locator and a predetermined web page browsing procedure, and transmits the first web page to the data terminal upon receiving the first delivery request. The second communications controller receives a second delivery request which is sent by the data terminal through the first web page and transmits the transfer-request image file to the data terminal upon receiving the second delivery request.

Apparatus and method for an HTTP server capable of connecting facsimile apparatuses and data terminals

A data terminal which is coupled to an local area network and a public switched telephone network includes a sub-address generator that generates a sub-address based on an electronic mail address and a predetermined functional operation method. A data table generator generates an address conversion table correlating a plurality of sub-addresses to corresponding input electronic mail addresses. Each of the plurality of sub-addresses being uniquely coupled with a corresponding electronic mail address that is uniquely assigned to a single client terminal. The data terminal also includes memory to store the address conversion table and a terminal controller. The terminal controller checks an incoming call from a facsimile machine containing facsimile image information and a sub-address representing a destination client terminal, and upon receiving such incoming facsimile image information and sub-address, the controller determines an electronic mail address corresponding to the sub-address using the address conversion table. The controller then relays the facsimile image information to the destination client terminal at the determined appropriate electronic mail address.
