Patent ID: 8326901

Claim:
A data processing apparatus comprising: a plurality of transmission units configured to transmit transmission data; a storage part configured to store a destination group table therein, the destination group table including data of one or more of the plurality transmission units associated with user data; a reception part configured to receive selection data indicating selection of the user data the receive designation data indicating designation of the one or more of the plural transmission units, and extract the user data from the storage part according to the selection data and the designation data; and a transmission request part configured to request transmission of the transmission data to at least one of the plural transmission units according to the user data extracted by the reception part; wherein the storage part is configured to store priority transmission unit data indicating one of the plural transmission units by which the transmission data is to be transmitted, wherein the storage part is configured to store a user group table and a combination group table therein, wherein the user group table includes the user data wherein the combination group includes a combination of the destination group table and the user group table, wherein the storage part is configured to store priority transmission unit data indicating one or more prioritized transmission units corresponding to one of the user data in the user group table, wherein the transmission request part is configured to request transmission of the transmission data to the one or more prioritized transmission units in a case where the user data extracted by the reception part includes the data indicating the one or more prioritized transmission units, and wherein the storage part is configured to store the data indicating the one or more prioritized transmission units in a predetermined order, wherein the transmission request part is configured to request transmission of the transmission data to the one or more prioritized transmission units according to the predetermined order in a case where the user data extracted by the reception part includes the data indicating the prioritized transmission unit, wherein the transmission request part cancels the request when the one or more prioritized transmission units completes transmitting the transmission data.
