Abstract

An information forwarding device includes a forwarding unit, a reception unit, and a control unit. The forwarding unit forwards information stored in a predetermined folder to a preset destination. The reception unit receives an edit to a destination stored in advance. In a case in which the reception unit receives an edit to a destination set as a forwarding destination of the forwarding by the forwarding unit, the control unit executes control to defer of the forwarding of the information by the forwarding unit to the destination after the edit until a predetermined condition is satisfied.

Claims (36)

1. An information forwarding device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to function as:

a forwarding unit that forwards information stored in a predetermined folder to a preset destination;

a reception unit that receives an edit to a destination stored in advance; and

a control unit that, in a case in which the reception unit receives an edit to a destination set as a forwarding destination of the forwarding by the forwarding unit, executes control to defer of the forwarding of the information by the forwarding unit to the destination after the edit until a predetermined condition is satisfied, wherein the edit is an operation instruction of editing a destination table received by a user interface,

wherein information transmitted by facsimile is stored in the predetermined folder for forwarding and the information transmitted by facsimile is forwarded to the preset destination in correspondence with the predetermined folder,

wherein in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when a new destination is set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit by a predetermined administrator, the control unit executes control to resume the forwarding of information by the forwarding unit treating the new destination as the forwarding destination,

wherein when deferring the forwarding of the information to the destination after the edit, the control unit executes control to transmit predetermined code information to a predetermined administrator device, and in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when the predetermined code information is set, the control unit executes control to resume the forwarding of the information by the forwarding unit treating the forwarding destination before the edit as the destination.

2. The information forwarding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit additionally executes control to notify a predetermined administrator device of the deferred forwarding of the information to the destination after the edit.

3. The information forwarding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit additionally executes control to notify a predetermined administrator device of the deferred forwarding of the information to the destination after the edit, and in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when a new destination is not set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit for a predetermined period starting from the notification of the deferred forwarding, the control unit additionally executes control to register the forwarding destination before the edit as a different destination and resumes forwarding treating the destination before the edit as the forwarding destination.

4. The information forwarding device according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case in which a new destination is not set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit for a predetermined period starting from the transmission of the predetermined code information, the control unit additionally executes control to register the forwarding destination before the edit as a different destination.

5. The information forwarding device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit additionally causes the forwarding unit to forward the information to the destination before the edit.

6. The information forwarding device according to claim 5 , wherein

the control unit additionally executes control to notify a predetermined administrator of the forwarding of the information to the destination before the edit.

7. The information forwarding device according to claim 5 , wherein

the control unit additionally executes control to notify a predetermined administrator of the forwarding to the destination before the edit, and in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when a new destination is not set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit for a predetermined period starting from the notification of the forwarding to the destination before the edit, the control unit additionally executes control to register the forwarding destination before the edit as a different destination.

8. The information forwarding device according to claim 7 , wherein

when controlling the forwarding of the information to the destination before the edit, the control unit transmits predetermined code information to a predetermined administrator device, and in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when the predetermined code information is set, the control unit additionally executes control to set the forwarding destination of subsequent forwarding by the forwarding unit to the destination after the edit.

9. The information forwarding device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit additionally causes the forwarding unit to forward dummy information indicating the information to the destination after the edit.

10. The information forwarding device according to claim 9 , wherein the control unit additionally causes the forwarding unit to forward the dummy information to the destination before the edit.

11. The information forwarding device according to claim 9 , wherein the dummy information includes an indication that the forwarding destination of the information has been changed, and predetermined code information.

12. The information forwarding device according to claim 11 , wherein in a case in which the condition is satisfied when the code information is set, the control unit executes control to remove the dummy information and forward the information treating the destination after the edit as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit.

13. The information forwarding device according to claim 9 , wherein in a case in which a new destination is not set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit for a predetermined period starting from the transmission of the dummy information, the control unit executes control to register the forwarding destination before the edit as a different destination, and to forward the information treating the destination before the edit as the forwarding destination of the forwarding unit.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for forwarding information, the process comprising:

forwarding information stored in a predetermined folder to a preset destination;

receiving an edit to a destination stored in advance; and

in a case of receiving an edit to a destination set as a forwarding destination of the forwarding, executing control to defer of the forwarding of the information to the destination after the edit until a predetermined condition is satisfied, wherein the edit is an operation instruction of editing a destination table received by a user interface,

wherein information transmitted by facsimile is stored in the predetermined folder for forwarding and the information transmitted by facsimile is forwarded to the preset destination in correspondence with the predetermined folder,

wherein the process further comprising:

in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when a new destination is set as the forwarding destination of the forwarding by a predetermined administrator, executing control to resume the forwarding of information by treating the new destination as the forwarding destination,

wherein when deferring the forwarding of the information to the destination after the edit, the control unit executes control to transmit predetermined code information to a predetermined administrator device, and in a case in which the predetermined condition is satisfied when the predetermined code information is set, the control unit executes control to resume the forwarding of the information by the forwarding unit treating the forwarding destination before the edit as the destination.
