An electronic device includes an operation section, first storage, second storage, a processing section, and a display section. The first storage stores data of a file therein. The file includes contents that can be printed. When the operation section receives an instruction for erasing the file, the processing section transfers the file from the first storage to the second storage. The display section displays an inquiry screen for inquiring whether or not to reproduce the file. When the operation section receives an instruction for reproducing the file, the processing section executes print processing or transmission processing. The print processing is processing for printing the contents. The transmission processing is processing for transmitting an email with the file attached thereto. After executing the print processing or the transmission processing, the processing section erases the file from the second storage.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for the delivery and maintenance of faxes where the faxes may remain at a faxing system for a minimal amount of time. The faxing system may send a queued fax to a connector responsive to a request from the connector to pull or retrieve a fax. The connector is configured to send a release notification to the faxing system after the fax is received. The faxing system is configured to delete the queued fax as soon as confirmation of the delivery of the fax can be determined or when an expiration time has elapsed.

The disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for protecting an image based on face recognition, the method including: recognizing, by a smart terminal, at least one face image in an image; setting, by the smart terminal, a protection flag for the image, and storing the image, upon determining that one of the at least one face image in the image matches successfully with one of face images in a protection list stored in the smart terminal, wherein the protection flag is configured to protect the image from accidental deletion.

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to receive, from a reading unit that reads a document having multiple pages, multiple page data individually corresponding to the multiple pages of the document; and transmit, to an external storage, the multiple page data to be stored in the external storage. The circuitry starts the transmitting, to an external storage, the multiple page data to be stored in the external storage before reading all pages of the document completes. The circuitry receives an edit instruction for editing page data transmitted to the external storage among the multiple page data; and transmits, to the external storage, edit data for reflecting the edit instruction in a content to be displayed based on the multiple page data read from the external storage, so as to cause the external storage to execute processing corresponding to the edit instruction for editing the page data having been transmitted.

Examples described relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for transmitting image data. The apparatus may comprise a memory buffer configured to store data elements of an image frame and generate a signal indicating that each of the data elements of the image frame have been written to the memory buffer, a processor configured to initiate a flush operation for reading out at least one data element of the image frame from the memory buffer and to output the at least one data element at a first rate, a rate adjustment unit configured to receive the at least one data element from the processor at the first rate and to output the at least one data element at a second rate, and a multiplexer configured to receive the at least one data element from the processor at the first rate and configured to receive the at least one data element from the rate adjustment unit at the second rate. The multiplexer may select the at least one data element at the second rate for transmitting on a bus in response to receiving the signal from the memory buffer.

The present disclosure includes a file recording unit that records a file in a given area of a storage medium, a download information transmission unit that transmits download information for downloading the file from the storage medium to one, two, or more download-destination users designated by a transmitting user, a download unit that causes the one, two, or more download-destination users who request downloading of the file in accordance with the download information to download the file, and a file deletion unit that deletes the file upon completion of downloading of the file in a case of deletion designation performed by an authorized user.
