Abstract:
In a multi-function peripheral (MFP), in some instances, the use of various data transmission functions, such as e-mail or fax, can be prohibited. In such circumstances, acquiring destination information from a business card by optical character recognition and registering the destination information in a list of the MFP's transmission destinations or in an address book can cause an error and force a user to perform additional operations. Based on device settings and user authentication settings, destinations under a disabled protocol are set in a non-display state in advance at the time of display of optical character recognition results.

Claim (Index 1):
An image reader comprising:\n a reading unit configured to read a business card image; a character recognition unit configured to perform optical character recognition on the read business card image and extract characters from the business card image; a destination information acquisition unit configured to acquire destination information in the business card image from the extracted characters; a destination information display unit configured to display the acquired destination information; a transmission unit configured to perform transmission to a destination via a plurality of transmission functions; and a setting unit configured to set limitations on availability of individual transmission functions based on a first availability setting for setting the availability of the individual transmission functions based on device settings and a second availability setting for setting the availability of the individual transmission functions for an authenticated user, and wherein information on the individual transmission functions limited by the setting unit are set to a non-display state.
