Abstract:
1. An image processing system comprising an information processing device and image processing devices connected via a network, wherein said information processing device includes: a retrieval unit that retrieves information from said image processing devices connected via the network by receiving signals from said image processing devices, and confirms whether each of said image processing devices performs a scanning function; a user interface that, when it is confirmed that a plurality of said image processing devices perform a scanning function, presents a button and a list of the plurality of said image processing devices, wherein the list receives one or more user selections indicating one or more selected image processing devices of the plurality of said image processing devices to which identification data of said information processing device is to be transferred and the button receives a user determination indicating that the one or more user selections have finished; and an identification data transfer unit that causes each of said one or more selected image processing devices of the plurality of said image processing devices to store the identification data of said information processing device by transferring the identification data of said information processing device and a registration request to each of said one or more selected image processing devices of the plurality of said image processing devices, and does not transfer the identification data to other(s) of the plurality of said image processing devices, and wherein one or more of said image processing devices includes: a scanner that scans an image and outputs image data; a computer-readable storage medium that stores information indicating a destination of the image data output from said scanner; an image data transfer unit that transfers the image data to the destination indicated by the information stored in said computer-readable storage medium; a registration unit that receives the identification data and the registration request transferred by said identification data transfer unit, and registers the received identification data as information indicating the destination of the image data in said computer-readable storage medium in accordance with the registration request; and a signal transfer unit that transfers, in response to the registration request, a signal which notifies said information processing device that the registration of the identification data has been normally completed.
