IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480284 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The image processing apparatus described in the patent application is capable of generating a file containing image data from a scanner and transmitting it to a client terminal. If the client terminal designates an encrypted file, the communication for transmitting a password to be used in generating the encrypted file and the communication for transmitting the generated file are encrypted.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
- The apparatus can process image data from a scanner and create a file for transmission to a client terminal. - If the client terminal requests an encrypted file, the communication for transmitting the password and the file is encrypted for security.
Potential applications of this technology
The technology can be used in secure document transmission, such as in legal or financial industries where confidentiality is crucial.
Problems solved by this technology
This technology addresses the need for secure transmission of sensitive image data, ensuring that only authorized parties can access the encrypted files.
Benefits of this technology
- Enhanced security for image data transmission - Protection of sensitive information from unauthorized access
Potential commercial applications of this technology
"Secure Image Data Transmission Technology for Confidential Industries"
Possible prior art
There may be prior art related to secure file transmission methods in the field of data security and encryption.
What are the potential limitations of this technology?
One potential limitation could be the complexity of managing and storing encryption keys for secure communication.
How does this technology compare to existing solutions?
This technology offers an added layer of security by encrypting both the password transmission and the file itself, ensuring end-to-end protection of sensitive image data.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes an execution unit configured to execute processing of generating a file including image data obtained by using a scanner and transmitting the file to a client terminal, wherein, in a case where an encrypted file is designated by the client terminal for the file, at least one of communication for transmitting a password to be used in generation of the encrypted file from the client terminal to the image processing apparatus and communication for transmitting the file generated in the image processing apparatus to the client terminal is encrypted communication.
