Systems, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for recording images on a recording medium

摘要

When authentication information is input via an IC card reader and includes predetermined information. A portable terminal corresponding to the authentication information is identified, and specific identification information that identifies an image-data file associated with the authentication information is extracted. The extracted specific identification information is transmitted to the identified portable terminal, and the portable terminal displays a list of the received specific identification information on its touch panel. The operation of a printing mechanism is controlled, so that the image-data file corresponding to the specific identification information that selected with a touch panel on the portable terminal is accessed, and an image defined by the image-data file defines is printed on a sheet.

1. An image recording system comprising an image recording apparatus and a portable terminal configured to perform data communication with the image recording apparatus, wherein:
the image recording apparatus comprises:
a memory configured to store image-data files;a recording unit configured to record an image defined by at least one of the image-data files on a recording medium;an input interface configured to receive input of the authentication information;an authentication determination unit configured to determine whether the authentication information comprises predetermined information that corresponds to the portable terminal;a portable-terminal identifying unit configured to determine whether the portable terminal is disposed proximate to the image recording apparatus, when the authentication determination unit determines that the authentication information input to the input interface comprises the predetermined information that corresponds to the portable terminal;an apparatus-side interface configured to perform data communication with the portable terminal when the portable-terminal identifying unit determines that the portable terminal is disposed proximate to the image recording apparatus; an apparatus-side communication controller configured to cause the apparatus-side interface to transmit specific identification information to the portable terminal when the portable-terminal identifying unit determines that the portable terminal is disposed proximate to the image recording apparatus, the specific identification information comprising identification information for at least one of the image-data files, among the image-data files in the memory, associated with the authentication information that is determined by the authentication determination unit to comprise the predetermined information; a display; and a display controller configured to control the display to prevent the display from displaying the specific identification information when the apparatus-side interface transmits the specific identification information to the portable terminal, wherein the portable terminal comprises:
a terminal-side display;a terminal-side interface configured to perform data communication with the image recording apparatus; anda terminal-side display controller configured to cause the terminal-side display to display the specific identification information, when the terminal-side interface receives the specific identification information.
