  In step 230, the captured script is executed.

  When the script 1 is fetched and the process 1 is instructed, the image data and the RFID data are transmitted to the server 122 correspondingly. The server 122 that has received the image data and the RFID data correspondingly stores the image data and the RFID data correspondingly in the storage device 160 as described above. When the document content information is also stored correspondingly, as described above, the image input apparatus stores the document content information corresponding to the RFID data in the table as described above, and the document content information, The image data and the RFID data are correspondingly transmitted to the server 122, and the server 122 stores the document content information, the image data, and the RFID data correspondingly.

  If the script 2 is captured and the process 2 is instructed, the image data is transmitted to the server 124. The transmission method may be, for example, a WebDAV protocol defined in RFC2518 or a protocol using SOAP1.2 Attachment / Feature. However, the present invention is not limited to these. The server 124 that has received the image data executes the image data deliberation process as described above.

  In addition, the script 3 is stored corresponding to the RFID data 3, and when the script 3 is a counting process of the number of transmissions of the copyrighted work, the image data and the image data are associated with at least one of the servers 122 and 124. Information (RFID data, document content information) and a counting command are transmitted.

As described above, at least one of the servers 122 and 124 that has input the image data and the information corresponding to the image data (RFID data, document content information) and the counting command inputs the image data in accordance with the counting command. Count the number of data inputs.
