A computer system and a method used by the system are disclosed for processing data received by a network input device, such as a scanner or digital camera, that is available to multiple terminals or users. Profiles are created representing different preferences for data processing. Different profiles are associated with different identification codes. The identification codes are read, the data is received by the input device, and the data is then processed according to the preferences in the profile that corresponds to the identification code. The profile may set such preferences as the format of the data, the terminal to which it is sent, the directory to which it is saved, the manner in which it is delivered, and any other attributes that are helpful to processing the data. In one use, a user may have a unique user identification code and profile that instruct the system where, when, and how to send the input data. The system recognizes the user's identifier when the data is input and processes the data according to the user's profile.
A system and method for sending an image are described. An exemplary system includes a communication device having an image capture device is configured to capture the image. A memory is coupled to the image capture device and is configured to maintain an address book having an address of a recipient. An input system is coupled to the memory and is configured to receive an input indicating a recipient. An image transmit manager is coupled to the input system and is configured to receive the input and associate the input to the address of the recipient, and in response to associating the input with the address for the recipient, to automatically transmit the image to the recipient using the address.
A method for remotely decoding a bar code includes capturing an image of a bar code using a camera, transmitting the image of the bar code across a network, receiving the image of the bar code at a remote location on the network, reproducing the image of the bar code at the remote location to provide a reproduced image of the bar code, and scanning and decoding the reproduced image of the bar code.
