INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17993311 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer program that enables an image forming apparatus to transmit fax messages to a specified destination. The program converts a code indicating the destination information into an instruction for the fax transmission function of the apparatus and then transmits the converted information to the apparatus.

  • The program is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium.
  • The program is executed by a computer to perform an information processing method.
  • The destination information is set to indicate the destination of the fax transmission.
  • If the destination information includes a specific code, it is converted into a second code that represents an instruction for the fax transmission function.
  • The converted destination information, including the second code, is transmitted to the image forming apparatus.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various industries that still rely on fax communication, such as healthcare, legal, and government sectors.
  • It can be used in offices and businesses that need to send fax messages to specific recipients.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of setting destination information for fax transmission.
  • Enables the conversion of codes into instructions for the fax transmission function, streamlining the communication process.
  • Reduces the manual effort required to transmit fax messages.

Benefits

  • Increases efficiency and accuracy in fax transmission.
  • Reduces the likelihood of errors in setting destination information.
  • Saves time and effort by automating the conversion and transmission process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform an information processing method. Setting destination information which indicates a destination of fax transmission. Converting a first code into a second code indicating an instruction in a fax transmission function of an image forming apparatus when the destination information includes the first code. Transmitting the destination information to the image forming apparatus, the destination information including the second code.
