Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire reception information as information indicating a reception date and a reception time of transmitted image data; transmit first information, serving as information including the reception date in the reception information, to a storage destination if the reception time in the acquired reception information has not passed a predetermined time, and transmit second information, serving as information including any date on or after a following day of the reception date, to the storage destination if the reception time has passed the predetermined time, the first information and the second information each serving as information indicating a storage location in the storage destination where the image data is stored when the image data is transferred to the storage destination; and transmit the first information instead of transmitting the second information when a predetermined time condition set based on communication status information is satisfied during transferring of the image data if the reception time has passed the predetermined time and the communication status information indicating a communication status during reception of the image data is acquired.

Claims (32)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

acquire reception information as information indicating a reception date and a reception time of transmitted image data;

transmit first information, serving as information including the reception date in the reception information, to a storage destination if the reception time in the acquired reception information has not passed a predetermined time, and transmit second information, serving as information including any date on or after a following day of the reception date, to the storage destination if the reception time has passed the predetermined time, the first information and the second information each serving as information indicating a storage location in the storage destination where the image data is stored when the image data is transferred to the storage destination; and

transmit the first information instead of transmitting the second information when a predetermined time condition set based on communication status information is satisfied during transferring of the image data if the reception time has passed the predetermined time and the communication status information indicating a communication status during reception of the image data is acquired.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication status information is communication congestion information indicating a congestion status of communication during the reception of the image data.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the communication congestion information includes information indicating a congestion level, and

wherein, if the information indicating the congestion level indicates a high congestion level, the predetermined time condition is relaxed, as compared with when the information indicating the congestion level indicates a low congestion level.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication status information is expected-number-of-receptions information indicating an expected number as a number of items of the image data expected to be received.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein, if a number of items of image data identified from the acquired reception information is below the expected number based on the expected-number-of-receptions information when the predetermined time passes, the predetermined time condition is set based on the expected-number-of-receptions information.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the set predetermined time condition is canceled when the identified number of items of image data reaches the expected number.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if a transmission time of the image data with lower reliability than the reception information is acquired, the processor is configured to use the transmission time to determine to transmit the first information instead of transmitting the second information.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to transmit the first information instead of transmitting the second information when a condition related to the transmission time of the image data is further satisfied.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first information is transmitted instead of the second information when the transmission time of the image data has not passed the predetermined time.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first information is transmitted instead of the second information when the transmission time of the image data has not passed the predetermined time.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing an information processing apparatus to execute a process, the process comprising:

acquiring reception information as information indicating a reception date and a reception time of transmitted image data;

transmitting first information, serving as information including the reception date in the reception information, to a storage destination if the reception time in the acquired reception information has not passed a predetermined time, and transmitting second information, serving as information including any date on or after a following day of the reception date, to the storage destination if the reception time has passed the predetermined time, the first information and the second information each serving as information indicating a storage location in the storage destination where the image data is stored when the image data is transferred to the storage destination; and

transmitting the first information instead of transmitting the second information when a predetermined time condition set based on communication status information is satisfied during transferring of the image data if the reception time has passed the predetermined time and the communication status information indicating a communication status during reception of the image data is acquired.

12 . An information processing method comprising:

acquiring reception information as information indicating a reception date and a reception time of transmitted image data;

transmitting first information, serving as information including the reception date in the reception information, to a storage destination if the reception time in the acquired reception information has not passed a predetermined time, and transmitting second information, serving as information including any date on or after a following day of the reception date, to the storage destination if the reception time has passed the predetermined time, the first information and the second information each serving as information indicating a storage location in the storage destination where the image data is stored when the image data is transferred to the storage destination; and

transmitting the first information instead of transmitting the second information when a predetermined time condition set based on communication status information is satisfied during transferring of the image data if the reception time has passed the predetermined time and the communication status information indicating a communication status during reception of the image data is acquired.
