Patent ID: 8681366

Claim:
An image scanner, comprising: a scanning unit configured to scan one or more images on a first document and a second document; an input unit; memory storing computer-readable instructions; and a control unit configured to execute the computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions, when executed, causing the image scanner to: receive input of destination information through the input unit; receive, through the input unit, a first scan start command to start scanning an image of the first document and to generate first scan image data which is to be transmitted to a terminal device identified by destination information associated with the first scan start command; generate the first scan image data based on the first document scanned by the scanning unit in response to the first scan start command; receive, through the input unit, a second scan start command to start scanning one of: the image of the first document and an image of the second document and to generate second scan image data which is to be transmitted to a terminal device identified by destination information associated with the second scan start command; generate the second scan image data based on the one of the first document and the second document scanned by the scanning unit in response to the second scan start command; store the first scan image data and the second scan image data; transmit a first notification to the terminal device identified by the destination information associated with the first scan start command, the first notification including information related to the stored first scan image data; transmit a second notification to the terminal device identified by the destination information associated with the second scan start command, the second notification including information related to the stored second scan image data; receive a request for scan image data from the terminal device to which the first notification was transmitted or the terminal device to which the second notification was transmitted; transmit the first scan image data to the terminal device to which the first notification was transmitted if the request for the first scan image data is received from the terminal device to which the first notification was transmitted; and transmit the second scan image data to the terminal device to which the second notification was transmitted if the request for the second scan image data is received from the terminal device to which the second notification was transmitted.
