Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This invention prevents repetitive storage of identical character string data, and efficiently uses a storage area. To accomplish this, a facsimile apparatus 8 has an NIC 1 as a network interface, and also has a display unit 4 c as a display means for displaying an image as a user interface, a main body controller 3 including a memory as a storage means for storing character string data, a display controller 4 b as an image generating means for generating an image to be displayed on the display means, by using the character string data stored in the memory, and an HTTP server as a display data generating means for generating an HTML file as display data described in a markup language by using the character string data stored in the memory, in accordance with a browsing request input via the network interface.
