An image processing apparatus comprises a first storage area that stores in itself original data to be copied; a copier that copies the original data to a second storage area that is shared and allowed to be accessed by a plurality of users belonging to one same group, by storing reference information pointing to the original data stored in the first storage area, in the second storage area; a judger that judges whether or not all of access judgment target users who are the group users sharing the second storage area or preliminarily specified users, make access to the reference information stored by the copier in the second storage area; and a controller that suspends execution of an instruction given to change the original data for the access judgment target users so that the original data could be provided to all of them, if the judger judges that only some of the access judgment target users has made access to the reference information when the instruction to change the original data is given, and then, cancels the suspension after the original data is provided to all of the access judgment target users.

Image processing apparatus, data processing method and data processing program

A document administration apparatus, comprising: a transmitter to transmit a document to a plurality of destinations; a memory to record status information of said transmitted document therein; and a changer to change status information of said document recorded in said memory, according to an operation by a destination user to whom said document is transmitted.

Document administration apparatus, document administration method and recording medium

An image processing apparatus comprises: a personal storage area provided for a user; a group storage area shared with a plurality of users who are members of a group; an identifier that identifies from one consolidated data that is made from user's data created for one or more than one user of the group and inputted in the group storage area, a personal storage area(s) to which the user's data are to be delivered; and a transmitter that transmits the user's data to the personal storage area(s) identified by the identifier.

Image processing apparatus, data delivery method and data delivery program

In order to process data by a plurality of processing methods defined for each of a plurality of users with a simple operation, MFP includes a HDD having a group BOX for storing data, related with at least two users, and creates a group table which associates at least two data processing methods respectively corresponding to at least two users with the group BOX. When data is stored into the group BOX, the stored data is processed according to each of at least two data processing methods associated with the group BOX.

Data processing apparatus, method and computer program product for passing data among plural users with different processing associated with different users in the same group

According to an image processing apparatus, if image data designated to be stored in a storage unit within the image processing apparatus is stored in a storage device outside the image processing apparatus, a memory remaining amount or the like of the image processing apparatus is calculated as if the image data is stored in a storage area within the image processing apparatus, although the image data is not moved to the storage area within the image processing apparatus.
