The operator can easily set the transmission destination of the transmission data by selecting it from the transmission destination list. Further, the communication processing apparatus can execute a transmission job by setting a plurality of transmission destinations in one transmission job (hereinafter referred to as “setting a plurality of transmission destinations in one transmission job and executing the transmission job. "To execute" is also referred to as "broadcast transmission".)

  The task of individually selecting a destination from the destination list during broadcast communication is complicated. Therefore, by registering a plurality of destinations as one group in the destination list in advance, the operator can select any group registered in the destination list and select a plurality of destinations for broadcast communication. Can be set efficiently.

  However, the communication processing device having a function and application different from those of the image processing device, and applying each means relating to the image processing conditions described in Patent Document 1 as efficiently setting a plurality of desired transmission destinations by broadcast transmission. I can't do it.

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to make the plurality of transmission destinations efficient even when the plurality of transmission destinations set in one transmission job are not registered in the transmission destination list as a single group. It is in the point which provides the communication processing apparatus which can be set automatically.

In order to achieve the above object, a first characteristic configuration of a communication processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a transmission data input unit for inputting transmission data and a transmission destination as described in claim 1 of the claims. A transmission destination management unit that stores a list, a transmission destination selection unit that selects a transmission destination from the transmission destination list, and transmission data that is input via the transmission data input unit is selected by the transmission destination selection unit A communication processing apparatus including a transmission processing unit that transmits first,
A transmission history management unit that stores the transmission destination or subject of the transmitted job transmitted by the transmission processing unit as transmission history information;
In the transmission destination selection unit, searching the transmission history information with the transmission destination or subject as a first search key, and displaying the transmission history information extracted with the first search key as a searched list, Included in the transmission history information searched by the transmission history search unit and the transmission history search unit that repeats a narrow search for searching the transmission history information using the destination or subject selected from the searched list as a second search key A group transmission setting unit for setting a plurality of transmission destinations as transmission destinations for a new transmission job.

  The destination included in the searched list that is displayed each time the transmission history information is narrowed down by the transmission history search unit is the first or second search regardless of the group registered in the destination list. Efficiently narrows down to the destination set in the sent job that contains the key destination or subject. The transmission destination narrowed down by the transmission history search unit is set as a transmission destination of a new transmission job by the group transmission setting unit.

  Therefore, even if a plurality of transmission destinations set for a new transmission job are not registered in the transmission destination list as a single group, the plurality of transmission destinations can be set efficiently.

  As described in claim 2, the second characteristic configuration is input from the transmission destination selected from the transmission destination list or the transmission data input unit in addition to the first characteristic configuration described above. The subject is set as the first search key.

  According to the configuration described above, in order to set a transmission destination in the first search key, it is only necessary to select from the transmission destination list, and the setting operation is easy. In addition, since an arbitrary subject inputted from the transmission data input unit can be used as the first search key, transmitted jobs in which the subject is set can be efficiently narrowed down from the transmission history information.

  In addition to the first or second feature configuration described above, the third feature configuration includes an authentication unit that manages whether to access the device, and the transmission history search unit. Searches the transmission history information with a search key that uses the authenticated person as the sender by the authentication unit, and displays the destination or subject set in the sent job including the sender as a searched list At the same time, the narrow-down search for searching the transmission history information using the transmission destination or subject selected from the searched list as a third search key is repeated.

  With the search key having the operator as the transmission source, the transmission destinations included in the searched list searched from the transmission history information by the transmission history search unit are narrowed down to the transmission destinations set in the transmitted job executed by the operator.

  In general, a transmission destination set for a new transmission job by a certain operator is often a transmission destination set for the transmitted job of the operator. Therefore, the narrowed transmission destination is useful as a transmission destination set for a new transmission job.

  Then, since the transmission history search unit repeats the transmission destination narrowing search with the third search key from the searched list, the transmission destination search for a new transmission job is performed very efficiently.

  As described above, according to the present invention, even when a plurality of destinations set in one transmission job are not registered in the destination list as a single group, the plurality of destinations can be efficiently It is now possible to provide a communication processing apparatus that can be set to
