Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve workability with respect to operational processing of image data. SOLUTION: When received image data and its specific identification information are transferred from an image processing unit 100 to an information processing terminal 300 and starting them therein, the file name of the image data is decided in cross reference with the specific identification information such as sender name data. Thus, an operator can retrieve the file of concerned image data, by having only to retrieve the file name related to unique sender named data and then the operator can retrieve files more easily.
