DATA MANAGING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE RESTORING APPARATUS, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND DATA MANAGING METHOD

摘要

A controlling section of an image processing apparatus performs a data conversion process on image data according to a type that is set with the image processing apparatus, stores obtained converted data as well as address information of the image processing apparatus in the predetermined network into a storage medium, and transmits, when requested by an image restoring apparatus, identifying information used for identifying a reverse conversion method to the image restoring apparatus. A controlling section of the image restoring apparatus reads the address information from the storage medium, obtains the identifying information from the image processing apparatus corresponding to the address information, identifies the identified reverse conversion method on the basis of the identifying information, and restores the image data by performing a reverse conversion process on the converted data by implementing the identified reverse conversion method.

主权项

1. A data managing system comprising an image processing apparatus and an image restoring apparatus that are connected together via a predetermined network so as to be able to communicate with each other, wherein
the image processing apparatus includes:
a controlling section configured to perform a data conversion process on image data according to a type that is set with the image processing apparatus, to store converted data resulting from the data conversion process as well as address information of the image processing apparatus in the network into a storage medium, and to transmit, when requested by the image restoring apparatus, identifying information used for identifying a reverse conversion method for the data conversion process to the image restoring apparatus, wherein the image restoring apparatus includes:
a controlling section configured to read the address information from the storage medium, to obtain the identifying information from the image processing apparatus by making the request to the image processing apparatus corresponding to the address information, to identify the reverse conversion method on a basis of the obtained identifying information, and to restore the image data by performing a reverse conversion process on the converted data stored in the storage medium by implementing the identified reverse conversion method.
