Abstract:
Provided is an image forming system that prevents leakage of confidential data. In the image forming system, a terminal includes a confidential-data-transmitting unit, a code-image-acquiring unit, and a confidential-document-data-creating unit. The confidential-data-transmitting unit transmits confidential data specified for confidentiality inside a document of document data to a server. The code-image-acquiring unit acquires a code image for outputting the confidential data from the server. The confidential-document-data-creating unit creates confidential-document data in which the code image is added to the document data. A server includes a confidential-data-acquiring unit, a code-image-creating unit, a code-image-transmitting unit, and a code-confidential-data-transmitting unit. The confidential-data-acquiring unit acquires the confidential data that is transmitted from the terminal. The code-image-creating unit creates the code image for outputting the confidential data. The code-image-transmitting unit transmits the code image to the terminal. The code-confidential-data-transmitting unit transmits the confidential data to an image forming apparatus. An image forming apparatus includes a decoding unit, a code-confidential-data-acquiring unit and an output-data-creating unit. The decoding unit decodes the code image from the confidential-document data that includes the code image. The code-confidential-data-acquiring unit acquires the confidential data from the code-confidential-data-transmitting unit according to the contents of the code image. The output-data-creating unit creates output data in which the confidential data is included in the confidential-document data.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming system that includes a terminal, a server that is accessed from the terminal, and an image forming apparatus that, according to an instruction from the terminal, acquires data that is stored in the server; wherein\n the terminal comprises: a confidential-data-transmitting unit that transmits confidential data that includes images or characters specified for confidentiality inside a document of document data to the server; a code-image-acquiring unit that acquires a code image for outputting the confidential data from the server; and a confidential-document-data-creating unit that creates confidential-document data in which the code image acquired by the code-image-acquiring unit is added to the document data; the server comprises: a confidential-data-acquiring unit that acquires the confidential data that is transmitted from the confidential-data-transmitting unit of the terminal; a code-image-creating unit that creates the code image for outputting the confidential data acquired by the confidential-data-acquiring unit; a code-image-transmitting unit that transmits the code image that is created by the code-image creating unit to the terminal; and a code-confidential-data-transmitting unit that transmits the confidential data that corresponds to the contents of the code image to the image forming apparatus; and the image forming apparatus comprises: a decoding unit that decodes the code image from the confidential-document data that includes the code image; a code-confidential-data-acquiring unit that acquires the confidential data from the code-confidential-data-transmitting unit of the server according to the contents of the code image that is decoded by the decoding unit; and an output-data-creating unit that creates output data in which the confidential data acquired by the code-confidential-data-acquiring unit is included in the confidential-document data.
