The aforementioned image providing device is When a web access is made based on the web access information returned by the reply unit, the authentication unit performs authentication based on the passcode received by the receiving unit. The image reading system according to claim 2, further comprising: a providing unit that provides image data received together with the passcode in accordance with the authentication result by the authentication unit.
4. When the receiving unit receives multiple image data read by one image reading process, it associates one of the identification pieces of information with these image data. The access information generation unit generates one piece of Web access information for these image data, The image reading system according to claim 1, wherein the access information output unit displays one piece of web access information for accessing these image data via the Web.
5. When multiple image reading processes are executed consecutively, the receiving unit associates one of the identification pieces of information with the image data read by these image reading processes. The access information generation unit generates one piece of Web access information for these image data, The image reading system according to claim 4, wherein the access information output unit displays one piece of web access information for accessing these image data via the Web.
6. The aforementioned image reading device is An image correction unit performs a blank page removal process on the image data read by the aforementioned image reading process, The image reading system according to claim 1, further comprising: an error output unit that, when the image data read by the image correction unit has no blank pages remaining, does not display the Web access information and outputs an error notification.
7. An image reading method using an image reading device and a computer that provides image data read by the image reading device, The computer receives image data read by the image reading process from the image reading device, and stores the image data in association with identification information that identifies the image reading process. The computer generates web access information for web accessing the image data stored in the receiving step , based on information indicating the storage location of the image data . The computer sends back the web access information generated in the access information generation step to the image reading device in a reply step, An image reading method comprising: an access information output step in which the image reading device outputs web access information returned from the computer.
8. In a computer that provides image data read by an image reading device, The process includes a receiving step of receiving image data read by the image reading process from the image reading device and storing the image data in association with identification information that identifies the image reading process, An access information generation step generates web access information for accessing the image data stored in the aforementioned receiving step , based on information indicating the storage location of the image data . A program that executes a reply step which involves sending the Web access information generated in the access information generation step back to the image reading device, causing the image reading device to output the Web access information.

Description

This invention relates to an image reading system, an image reading method, and a program. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an image input device control device that controls a control unit and an image input device associated with the control unit via a network, comprising: authentication information acquisition means for acquiring authentication information; image data storage means for storing image data; storage area generation means for generating a storage area within the image data storage means in which access rights corresponding to the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquisition means are set; and image acquisition means for acquiring the image data from the image input device and storing it in the storage area generated by the storage area generation means. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a scanning system comprising an information processing device, a server device, and an image processing device having a scanning function. The information processing device includes a ticket generation unit that generates scan tickets based on scan settings, and a ticket transmission unit that transmits the scan tickets to the server device. The server device includes a list management unit that manages the scan tickets received from the information processing device in a list, a list transmission unit that transmits the list to the image processing device in response to a list request from the image processing device, and a first image transmission unit that transmits images received from the image processing device to the information processing device. The image processing device includes a list request unit that requests the list from the server device, a scan execution unit that performs a scan based on the scan tickets selected from the list and generates an image, and a second image transmission unit that transmits the images generated by the scan execution unit to the server device. Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a system comprising a photo booth terminal and a server that manages data files constituting a homepage for acquiring photo booth image data. The system includes a photo booth terminal with the function of uploading data to the server, and a server with the function of creating individual pages and transmitting URLs upon receiving data. Furthermore, Patent Document 4 describes an image management unit that stores image data received from an image creation and printing device that provides image creation and image printing services, and an information presentation management unit that accepts access from a user's communication terminal and presents information. When the information presentation management unit receives a request from the communication terminal for information presentation regarding predetermined image data, if the image data has not been received from the image creation and printing device, it requests the communication terminal to input the print ID shown on the printed material printed by the image creation and printing device, and if the image data has been received from the image creation and printing device, it presents information regarding the image data to the communication terminal. The disclosed management device is characterized by the following: The display management unit receives an information presentation request, including information about the printed material ID, from the communication terminal that accessed the device based on access information displayed on the image creation and printing device or on the printed material; the unit determines the user's membership type using the user information of the communication terminal included in the access; and presents information to the communication terminal so that a screen requesting input of the printed material ID is displayed corresponding to the user's membership type; and when requesting input of the printed material ID from the communication terminal, the unit displays a screen on the communication terminal with the printed material ID pre-filled in the input field for entering the printed material ID.
