The output module 215 outputs the information (including the “image indicating information” described above) generated by the proxy creation processing module 210 to the medium in response to the instruction receiving module 205 receiving the instruction.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a module configuration example in the proxy checking module 165.
The proxy verification module 165 includes a reception module 305, a proxy verification processing module 320, and a delegation authority control processing module 325.
The reception module 305 includes a proxy receipt module 310 and a job instruction reception module 315. The reception module 305 receives a power of attorney (medium) and a job instruction from the second user via the lesson support service operation module 110 or the scan module 120 of the image processing apparatus 100. Here, “accepting a power of attorney” is to accept an image of a power of attorney scanned by the scan module 120.
The power of attorney acceptance module 310 accepts the power of attorney image read by the scan module 120 of the image processing apparatus 100 by the scanning operation of the second user. For example, a medium on which the above-described “image indicating information” is printed is read.
The job instruction reception module 315 receives a job instruction operation by the second user received by the class support service operation module 110 of the image processing apparatus 100. Further, when a job is embedded in the “image indicating information” in the power of attorney, the job instruction receiving module 315 may receive the job as a job instruction operation by the second user.

  The power of attorney verification processing module 320 is an image of the power of attorney accepted by the power of attorney acceptance module 310 created by the power of attorney creation processing module 210 (or output according to an instruction from the output module 215). Match). Specifically, it may be determined whether or not the “image indicating information” created by the proxy creation module 210 matches the “image indicating information” received by the proxy acceptance module 310. Further, it may be determined whether the information embedded in the “image indicating information” matches. Further, it may be verified whether the information embedded in the “image indicating information” received by the proxy receipt module 310 matches the information of the lesson management device 180. Specifically, the lecture and assignment for which the first user is in charge are acquired from the lesson management device 180 and match the information embedded in the “image showing information” received by the proxy acceptance module 310. You may make it collate.

The delegation authority control processing module 325 transfers the delegation regardless of whether or not the second user has an account in the lesson management device 180 in response to the delegation receipt module 310 accepting the delegation (medium). Control is performed so that a job for the lesson management apparatus 180 is executed within the range of authority. Note that “regardless of whether or not the second user has an account in the lesson management apparatus 180” means that even if the second user has an account in the lesson management apparatus 180, This includes that the job can be executed on the lesson management device 180 within the scope of the authority delegated independently of (regardless of) the account.

More specifically, the image processing apparatus 100 accepts a job for the lesson management apparatus 180 and instructs the lesson management apparatus 180 via the lesson support processing apparatus 130.

  Then, when the second user has an account in the lesson support processing device 130, the delegation authority control processing module 325 controls to execute a job for the lesson support processing device 130 within the range of the delegated authority. You may do it. As described above, the second user can execute the job regardless of whether or not the second user has an account in the lesson management apparatus 180, but the second user can execute the job. "You have an account at 130" may be a condition. Therefore, when the second user does not have an account in the lesson support processing apparatus 130, the second user cannot execute the job. Note that having an account for the class support processing device 130 may include having an account for the image processing device 100. That is, the condition for having an account for the lesson support processing apparatus 130 and the condition for having an account for the image processing apparatus 100 may be handled as the same.

  The image processing apparatus 100 (the user of the image processing apparatus 100) uses the lesson management apparatus 180 via the lesson support processing apparatus 130. Then, as the job, for example, the image scanned by the scan module 120 of the image processing apparatus 100 is transferred to the class support processing apparatus 130, and the image received by the class support processing apparatus 130, the result of character recognition, etc. are sent to the class management apparatus 180. May be registered.

Further, the delegation authority control processing module 325 may permit the execution of the job when the information output to the medium received by the proxy receipt module 310 is collated by the lesson management apparatus 180.
When the information output to the medium includes information indicating a first user, a lecture, and an assignment, the delegation authority control processing module 325 communicates with the lesson management apparatus 180, and the first user If it is confirmed that the job has the problem, execution of the job may be permitted. In other words, lectures and assignments are included as information about the authority to delegate. This means that it is permitted to store an image of a document in the storage location specified by this lecture or assignment. In that case, the first user who performed the delegation must have access authority to the storage location specified by the lecture and assignment. Therefore, when executing a job, the first user confirms that he / she has access authority to the storage location specified by the lecture and assignment.
