  Next, processing for sorting image data received by facsimile will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S101, the sorting terminal 101 accepts activation of the sorting screen 400. In the next step S102, the Web server 102 acquires image data to be sorted from the received data table and transmits it to the sorting terminal 101. To do.

  The image data to be acquired is image data specified from the information that has not yet been sorted in the sorted information in the received data table.

  In step S <b> 103, the Web server 102 acquires type information from the type table and transmits it to the sorting terminal 101.

  In step S104, the sorting screen 400 is displayed on the sorting terminal 101, and the image data received in step S102 and the type information received in step S103 are displayed on the sorting screen 400.

  Since this image data is displayed in the order received by facsimile, the thumbnail images of the received images are displayed in the thumbnail display area 403 in the order of reception date and time, and this type information is displayed in the type selection column 402. Do.

  In step S105, the sorting terminal 101 determines whether the selection is accepted in the type selection column 402. If it is determined that the selection is accepted, the process proceeds to step S106. This processing is executed until selection is accepted in the type selection column 402.

  In step S106, the sorting terminal 101 determines whether or not the sorting button 404 is pressed. If it is determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S107. If it is not determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S108. .

  In step S107, the sorting terminal 101 performs temporary setting of sorting for the thumbnail image selected in the thumbnail display area 403. As an example of this temporary setting, the thumbnail image is stored in the RAM 202 of the sorting terminal 101. This is realized by storing information indicating whether or not provisional setting has been performed in association with information to be specified (file name or the like). The provisional setting can be set for each sorting unit, and is identified using information for uniquely identifying the sorting unit.

  In step S108, the sorting terminal 101 determines whether or not the confirm button 405 is pressed. If it is determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S109. If it is not determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S110. .

  In step S <b> 109, the sorting terminal 101 determines sorting for the image data identified from the thumbnail image temporarily set stored in the RAM 202.

  In order to confirm the sorting in this step, first, the Web server 102 issues a number so that the sorting number is unique in the sorting data table, and corresponding to this number, the type code of the type information selected in step S105. In addition, when the specified image data and a plurality of image data are lost, the page number indicating the order displayed from the left of the thumbnail display area 403 is stored in the sorting data table. This process is performed for each sorting unit stored in the RAM 202, and registration of image data for which all temporary settings have been made is performed.

  Then, for the image data specified from the temporarily set thumbnail image stored in the RAM 202, information indicating that the sorting is completed is registered in the sorting information of the reception data table.

  Thus, the sorting confirmation process is terminated.

  Next, in step S110, the sorting terminal 101 determines whether or not the next page button 406 is pressed. If it is determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S111. If it is not determined that the button is pressed, step S112 is performed. Proceed to the process.

  In step S111, the sorting terminal 101 displays the image data of the next reception unit currently displayed on the sorting screen 400 among the image data acquired in step S102 on the sorting screen 400. If all the display has already been completed, the processing may be terminated, or the first displayed image data may be displayed.

  However, for image data that has already been classified, it is preferable to take an aspect in which the thumbnail image is identified and displayed as image data that has not yet been classified. It is more preferable to identify and display the sorting unit.

  When the process of step S111 is completed, the process proceeds to step S105 in order to perform the sorting process in the same manner.

  In step S112, the sorting terminal 101 determines whether or not the return button 112 has been pressed. If it is determined that the return button 112 has been pressed, the process ends. If not, the process proceeds to step S106.

  Next, the confirmation process of the sorted image data will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S201, the confirmation terminal 104 accepts activation of the search list screen 500. In step S202, the Web server 102 stores calendar information, type table type information, or sorted image data stored in the DB server 103. Is acquired as search condition information to the confirmation terminal 104.

  In step S203, the confirmation terminal 104 displays the search list screen 500, and in step S202, the received date selection field 501 and the assigned date are displayed in the order of the calendar information, type information, and processing status information transmitted from the Web server 102.
