When an electronic file of the original is generated by the original reading process, a file name indicated by the file name information is assigned to the electronic file of the original by the file name assigning unit 53.

  The electronic file to which the file name is assigned is output by the folder output unit 54 to a predetermined folder of the server 4. As a result, the file name set by the user is given to the electronic file of the document, and this electronic file is stored in a folder on the network. Thereafter, file information indicating the address information and file name of the folder is generated by the file information generation unit 55 and transmitted to the portable terminal 60 by the short-range wireless unit 51 of the network multifunction device 50.

  When the file information is received by the short-range wireless unit 62 of the portable terminal 60, the folder address information included in the file information and the file name of the generated electronic file are stored in the memory 31 in association with each other. The Thereby, the portable terminal 60 can acquire the file name of the generated electronic file and the address information of the folder.

  In the network MFP 50 according to the modification described above, the short-range wireless unit 51 receives from the portable terminal 60 a command for instructing reading of a document and a file name of an electronic file generated by the reading. For this reason, the user can read the network multifunction device 50 using the portable terminal 60 and can specify the file name of the generated electronic file. Then, the file name assigning unit 53 assigns the designated file name to the generated electronic file, and the folder output unit 54 outputs the electronic file to the server 4. As a result, the electronic file is stored in the server 4 with the file name designated by the user. Further, the short-range wireless unit 51 transmits the file name given to the electronic file to the portable terminal 60. For this reason, the file name stored in the server 4 is notified to the portable terminal 60. Therefore, the file name stored in the portable terminal 60 can be matched with the file name of the electronic file stored in the server 4.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various other modifications can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, the file name stored in the mobile terminal 3 and the file name stored in the server 4 are the same, but the present invention is not limited to this. The extension may be different or a part of the extension may be different. The file name stored in the mobile terminal 3 may be any file name that allows the network MFP 2 to identify the electronic file. .

  Further, the network multifunction device 50 may encode the file information into a two-dimensional code such as a QR code and transmit it to the portable terminal 60. Then, when transmitting the file name and the folder address information to the network multifunction device 50, the portable terminal 60 may transmit the QR-coded file information. In this case, since the file information can be transmitted to the network multi-function device 50 using a highly versatile QR code, the convenience for the user can be improved.

As a result, file information can be transmitted to the network multifunction peripherals 2 and 50 even in an environment where transmission / reception of electronic mail cannot be performed between the network multifunction peripherals 2 and 50 and the portable terminals 3 and 60.

  In the above description, the mobile terminal 3 transmits the address information of the folder in which the corresponding electronic file is stored together with the file name. However, the address information of the folder does not necessarily have to be transmitted. In this case, the network multifunction device 2 may store the file name and the folder address information in association with each other so that the address information of the folder in which the corresponding electronic file is stored can be determined from the file name. The network multifunction device 2 may search the server 4 based on the file name.

  In the above embodiment, the network multifunction peripherals 2 and 50 can access the server 4 storing the electronic file via the LAN 90. However, the network multifunction peripherals 2 and 50 have the server 4 built-in. It may be.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the portable terminal 3 corresponded to the communication terminal as described in a claim, the communication terminal as described in a claim is not restricted to a portable communication terminal. For example, a communication terminal such as a laptop or desktop personal computer may be used.
