Abstract
An image processing apparatus such as a facsimile comprises: a recognizing circuit to recognize special pattern information such as a mark in reception image data; a converter to convert the result of the recognition by the recognizing circuit into the index information corresponding to image information in the reception image data; and a memory to store the index information converted by the converter and the image information so as to correspond to one another. When the user at a remote location wants to obtain image data, the image data can be transmitted from the electronic file system without needing any operator of the file system.
