  Next, the operation of the image forming system 10 will be described.

  First, the operation of the MFP 20 when receiving print data will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the operation of the MFP 20 when receiving print data.

  When the user transmits print data to the MFP 20 from a computer (not shown), the MFP 20 executes the operation shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 28 of the MFP 20 receives the transmitted print data and the user authentication information transmitted in association with the print data via the communication unit 26 (see FIG. 9). S101).

  Next, the control unit 28 requests the server 40 for user authentication by transmitting the authentication information received in S101 to the server 40 via the communication unit 26 (S102).

  Here, when receiving the authentication information transmitted from the MFP 20 via the communication unit 43, the control unit 45 of the server 40 performs user authentication based on the received authentication information. Specifically, the control unit 45 determines that the user authentication is successful when the received authentication information is included in the authentication information 44a on the storage unit 44, and is used when it is not included. It is determined that the authentication of the user has failed. Then, the control unit 45 returns the authentication result to the MFP 20 via the communication unit 43.

  After receiving the authentication result transmitted from the server 40 via the communication unit 26 after the processing of S102, the control unit 28 determines whether or not the received result is a successful authentication (S103).

  If the control unit 28 determines in S103 that authentication is not successful, that is, authentication failure, the control unit 28 discards the print data received in S101 (S104) and ends the operation shown in FIG.

  If the control unit 28 determines in S103 that the authentication is successful, the control unit 28 generates a marker (S105). For example, the control unit 28 may generate a graphic or a character as a marker, or may use at least a part of the print content instructed by the user as a marker.

  Next, the control unit 28 causes the server 40 to update the marker management information 44c by transmitting the user ID in the authentication information received in S101 and the marker generated in S105 to the server 40.

  Next, the control unit 28 executes printing based on the print data received in S101 including the marker generated in S105 (S107).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the control unit 28 prints an image 91 based on the print data received in S101 on the recording medium 90 by the printer 34, the marker 92 generated in S105 is also recorded by the printer 34. 90 may be printed. Here, when printing on a plurality of recording media 90, the controller 28 may print the markers 92 on all the recording media 90, or the first of the plurality of recording media 90 may be printed. The marker 92 may be printed only on a specific recording medium 90 such as one sheet.

  In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the control unit 28 straddles a plurality of recording media 90 when printing an image 91 based on the print data received in S <b> 101 on a plurality of recording media 90 by the printer 34. One marker 92 may be printed, and the plurality of recording media 90 may be shifted and discharged to the discharge unit in a state where the printed markers 92 appear across the plurality of recording media 90. In addition, when printing the marker 92 across a plurality of recording media 90, the control unit 28 prints the marker 92 across two or more recording media 90 out of the plurality of recording media 90. It is not necessary to print the marker 92 across the entire recording medium 90.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the processing of S107, the control unit 28 prints the job ID of the current print job based on the print data received in S101, the user ID in the authentication information received in S101, and the printing. The document management information 44b is updated in the server 40 by transmitting the image of the job target document, that is, the image based on the print data received in S101, to the server 40 (S108), and the operation shown in FIG. Exit.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the operation of the MFP 30 when receiving print data.

  When the user transmits print data to the MFP 30 from a computer (not shown), the MFP 30 executes the operation shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 39 of the MFP 30 executes the processes of S101 to S106, similarly to the operation shown in FIG.

  After the process of S106, the control unit 39 executes printing based on the print data received in S101 (S111). Here, the control unit 39 determines whether the discharging unit 34a from which the printed recording medium is discharged corresponds to the user who has instructed execution of printing on the recording medium, that is, the user ID in the authentication information received in S101. To decide.

  After the processing of S111, the control unit 39, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, displays the marker generated in S105 on the marker display unit 35 arranged corresponding to the discharge unit 34a from which the recording medium is discharged in S111. It is displayed (S112).

  After the process of S112, the control unit 39 executes the process of S108 in the same manner as the operation illustrated in FIG. 9, and ends the operation illustrated in FIG.

  Next, the operation of the portable device 50 when shooting a marker will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the operation of the portable device 50 when shooting a marker.

  As illustrated in FIG. 14, the identification information acquisition unit 56a of the portable device 50 starts displaying the image captured by the imaging unit 53 on the display unit 52 (S131).

  Next, the identification information acquisition unit 56a determines whether or not a marker is included in the image captured by the imaging unit 53 (S132). Here, the marker 92 printed on the recording medium 90 as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 is included in the captured image by the imaging unit 53 by being captured by the imaging unit 53 by the user of the portable device 50. . Similarly, the marker displayed on the marker display unit 35 as shown in FIG. 13 is also captured by the image capturing unit 53 by the user of the portable device 50 and included in the captured image by the image capturing unit 53.

  If the identification information acquisition unit 56a determines in S132 that a marker is included in the captured image by the imaging unit 53, the identification information acquiring unit 56a is registered in the marker management information 44c of the server 40 in association with the marker included in the captured image. A user ID is acquired (S133).

  Then, the identification information output unit 56b of the portable device 50 causes the display unit 52 to display a combined image obtained by combining the user ID acquired in S133 at a position corresponding to the marker in the image captured by the imaging unit 53 (S134). .

  For example, when the marker 92 printed on the recording medium 90 shown in FIG. 10 is photographed by the user of the portable device 50 by the imaging unit 53, the identification information output unit 56b is acquired in S133 as shown in FIG. The synthesized image obtained by synthesizing the user ID “USER001” is displayed on the display unit 52.

  Further, when the marker printed on the marker display unit 35 shown in FIG. 13 is taken by the user of the portable device 50 by the imaging unit 53, the identification information output unit 56b obtains in S133 as shown in FIG. The combined image obtained by combining the user IDs “USER001”, “USER002”, and “USER003” is displayed on the display unit 52.

  As illustrated in FIG. 14, the identification information output unit 56b determines in S132 that the marker is not included in the captured image by the imaging unit 53, or executes the process of S134 and determines that a specific period has elapsed, S135. If determined in step S132, the process of S132 is executed.

  As described above, the image forming system 10 prints the marker associated with the user ID on the recording medium (S107), and displays the user ID associated with the marker imaged by the imaging unit 53 on the display unit 52. (S134), the user who has instructed execution of printing can be specified after printing.

  When the image forming system 10 is configured to use at least a part of the print contents instructed by the user as a marker when printing the marker associated with the user ID on the recording medium, the dedicated marker is used as the recording medium. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the original print content of the recording medium from being lowered by the dedicated marker.

  When printing the marker associated with the user ID on the recording medium, the image forming system 10 prints one marker 92 across a plurality of recording media 90 as shown in FIG. Even if there is little margin in the original print content, the user who has instructed the execution of printing can be identified by the dedicated marker 92 after printing.

  The image forming system 10 displays the marker associated with the user ID on the marker display unit 35 arranged corresponding to the discharge unit 34a from which the printed recording medium is discharged (S112). Since the user ID associated with the photographed marker is output to the display unit 52 (S134), the user who has instructed execution of printing can be specified after printing.

  When displaying the marker associated with the user ID on the marker display unit 35, the image forming system 10 uses the discharge unit 34a from which the printed recording medium is discharged to instruct the execution of printing on the recording medium. Therefore, the user can be specified according to the discharge unit 34a from which the printed recording medium is discharged.

  Since the image forming system 10 displays a composite image in which the user ID is combined at a position corresponding to the marker in the captured image (S134), a plurality of markers are included even if the captured image includes a plurality of markers. A user associated with each of the markers can be identified.

  Note that the image forming system 10 does not use AR (Augmented Reality) technology as long as it is configured to output the user ID associated with the marker included in the image captured by the imaging unit 53 to the display unit 52. May be. For example, when the marker 92 printed on the recording medium 90 shown in FIG. 10 is photographed by the imaging unit 53 by the user of the portable device 50, the identification information output unit 56b of the portable device 50, as shown in FIG. , “USER001”, which is the user ID acquired in S133, may be displayed on the display unit 52.

  In the above, the image forming system 10 displays the user ID, which is one aspect of the user identification information, on the display unit 52, but may display identification information other than the user ID on the display unit 52. . For example, the image forming system 10 may display on the display unit 52 a user name that is an aspect of the user identification information. When displaying the user name which is one aspect of the user identification information on the display unit 52, the image forming system 10 and the user ID which is one aspect of the user identification information and one of the user identification information are displayed. For example, the server 40 stores the user information associated with the user name which is an aspect, and when the MFP displays the user name, the user name is used by using the user ID and the user information. It may be specified.

  In the above, the image forming system 10 generates a marker every time the processing of FIG. 9 or 12 is performed (S105). However, if a specific marker is used for each user, the marker is displayed. It does not have to be generated every time.

  The image forming system 10 prints the user who has instructed printing even if the recording medium on which printing was performed by the MFP based on print data received from the outside is forgotten from the discharge unit of the MFP. It can be specified later with a simple operation. However, the image forming system 10 can identify a user who has instructed execution of printing after printing, even in cases other than when the MFP executes printing based on print data received from the outside. For example, even if the image forming system 10 is a copy in which an image read by a scanner is printed by a printer, the image forming system 10 uses a mechanism similar to that used when the MFP executes printing based on print data received from the outside. Can be identified after printing.

  In the above, the image forming system 10 determines the marker at the time of printing. However, the image forming system 10 may determine the marker at a time other than the time of printing. For example, in the case of copying, the image forming system 10 may determine a marker at the time of reading an image by a scanner.

  The image forming system 10 may realize at least a part of the functions of the server 40 by at least one of a plurality of MFPs. The image forming system 10 may not include the server 40 when all the functions of the server 40 are realized by at least one of a plurality of MFPs. For example, in the image forming system 10, each MFP may store its own marker management information.

  In the present embodiment, the image forming system 10 includes a portable device as the electronic device of the present invention. However, an electronic device other than the portable device such as a PC may be included as the electronic device of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the image forming system 10 includes an MFP as the image forming apparatus of the present invention. However, an image forming apparatus other than the MFP, such as a printer dedicated machine or a copy dedicated machine, is provided as the image forming apparatus of the present invention. May be.
