  When it is detected in step S01 that the document is set on the document table or the automatic document feeder, in step S02, a confirmation for confirming whether the set document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1 who has logged into the apparatus. Perform information acquisition processing. The confirmation information acquisition process will be described later.

  Next, in step S03, it is determined whether a scan job execution instruction from the mobile terminal 1 has been received. If not received (NO in step S03), it waits for reception. If it has been received (YES in step S03), after permitting login based on the login information included in the job execution instruction, in step S04, whether the original is the original of the user of the portable terminal 1 is authentic. After executing the determination process, the process proceeds to step S05. The document authenticity determination process will be described later.

  In step S05, based on the result of the document authenticity determination process, it is determined whether or not the document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1, and if the document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1 (YES in step S05), step S06 is performed. Then, after scanning of the original is started based on the job setting information from the portable terminal 1, the obtained image data is transmitted to the designated transmission destination in step S07, and the process proceeds to step S08. If the original is not the original of the user of the portable terminal 1 (NO in step S05), the job execution instruction is discarded in step S09, and the process proceeds to step S08. In step S08, the user from the portable terminal 1 is logged out.

  As described above, in this embodiment, only when it is determined that the set original is the original of the user of the mobile terminal 1 who instructed the scan job, the scan job is generated based on the job setting information from the mobile terminal 1. Since this is executed, it is possible to solve the problem of erroneously reading another person's original.

  If the user of the mobile terminal 1 that has transmitted the job execution instruction to the MFP 2 is a public user, the scan job is executed without determining whether the set original is that of the user of the mobile terminal 1. You may do it. When a scan job for a public user is permitted, it is determined that strong security is not required, and therefore convenience for the public user is given priority.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the confirmation information acquisition process in step S02 of FIG.

  In step S0201, after searching for the portable terminal 1 around the MFP 2 by direct wireless communication such as Wi-FiDIRECT, it is determined in step S0202 whether there is one or more portable terminals 1. If there is a portable terminal 1 (YES in step S0202), identification information that can uniquely identify the portable terminal 1 such as the MAC address and the name of the portable terminal 1 is obtained as confirmation information in step S0203, and then in step S0204. The acquired identification information is stored in the storage unit 25 or the like, and the process returns. If there is no portable terminal 1 (NO in step S0202), no identification information is stored in the storage unit 25 or the like in step S0205, and then the process returns.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the document authenticity determination process in step S03 of FIG.

  In step S0301, the identification information of the portable terminal 1 stored in the storage unit 25 or the like is read out, and in step S0302, the identification information included in the job execution instruction from the portable terminal 1 is compared.

  In step S0303, it is determined whether or not the read identification information matches the identification information from the portable terminal 1. If they match (YES in step S0303), in step S0304 it is determined that the set original is the original of the terminal user, and then the process returns. If they do not match (NO in step S0303), in step S0305 it is determined that the set original is not the original of the terminal user, and the process returns.

  If no identification information is stored, it is determined that they do not match, and it is determined that the document set in step S0305 is not the document of the terminal user.

  Thus, the identification information for specifying the portable terminal 1 is acquired by wireless communication, the acquired identification information is compared with the identification information for specifying the portable terminal device included in the job execution instruction from the portable terminal 1, If they match, it is determined that the document is the user's document of the mobile terminal 1, and therefore it can be accurately determined whether the document is the user's document.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing another example of the confirmation information acquisition process in step S02 of FIG.

  In step S0211, the time when the document is set is acquired as confirmation information. In step S0212, the acquired time is stored in the storage unit 25 or the like, and the process returns.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing another example of the document authenticity determination process in step S03 of FIG.

  In step S0311, after reading the time of the original set stored in the storage unit 25 or the like, the reception time of the job execution instruction from the portable terminal 1 is acquired in step S0312.

  In step S0313, it is determined whether both times are within a predetermined time. The predetermined time is set in consideration of the time that is expected until the user sets a document, operates the portable terminal 1 to set a job, and transmits a job execution instruction. If it is within the predetermined time (YES in step S0313), it is determined in step S0314 that the set document is the document of the terminal user, and then the process returns. If it is not within the predetermined time (NO in step S03031), it is determined in step S0315 that the set document is not the document of the terminal user, and the process returns.

  As described above, the document setting time is compared with the reception time of the job execution instruction, and if the time difference is within a preset time, it is determined that the document is the user's document of the mobile terminal 1, and thus the user's document. It is possible to accurately determine whether or not.

  Note that the confirmation information acquisition process in step S02 and the document authenticity determination process in step S03 are not limited to the above-described example.

  For example, the mobile terminal 1 transmits text data such as image data and a title included in the first page of the document as information related to the document to the MFP 2 together with a job execution instruction. It should be noted that the image data may be obtained by previously shooting one page of the document with the mobile terminal 1 by the user. On the other hand, the MFP 2 scans only one page of the set original, and acquires image data and text data included in the read first page as confirmation information. Then, the information related to the obtained document and the information related to the document transmitted from the portable terminal 1 may be compared, and if they match, the document may be determined to be the document of the user of the portable terminal 1.

  As yet another example, the MFP 2 obtains information as to whether the communication between the MFP 2 and the portable terminal 1 is performed by near field communication such as NFC as confirmation information, and is performed by near field communication. If the user has set the document, it may be determined that the user who set the document is near the MFP 2 and is the document of the user of the mobile terminal 1.

  Further, the MFP 2 acquires information on the number of users existing in the vicinity of the own device, analyzes the acquired information on the number of users, and if only one user exists in the vicinity of the own device. Alternatively, it may be determined that the document is the user's document. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, even when there are a plurality of users in the zone Z2 in which the MFP 2 can be operated, if there is only one user in the zone Z1 in which the document can be set (zone where the document can be placed), It is determined that the original is. In addition, when only one user exists in the vicinity of the own apparatus and the own apparatus is not used, it may be determined that the document is the user's original.

  Note that the MFP 2 may acquire information on the number of users by acquiring the number of portable terminals 1 existing in the vicinity of the own device, or a person detection device that can detect a user approaching the own device. The configuration may be such that information about the number of users is acquired based on 30 detection results.

  The number of mobile terminals 1 that are present in the vicinity of the MFP may be determined by a communication method with the mobile terminal 1, and may be determined in the vicinity of the MFP in the case of a short-range wireless communication method. Further, it may be determined by measuring the distance to the portable terminal 1 based on position information using a GPS system, or may be determined by measuring the distance using communication sound data.

  When the MFP 2 detects that the portable terminal 1 is present in the vicinity of the own apparatus by wireless communication with the portable terminal 1 when the own apparatus is in the sleep mode, the MFP 2 detects the presence of the portable terminal 1 in the vicinity of the own apparatus. Even if a person approaching is detected, it is desirable that the user does not return from the sleep mode because priority is given to the use of the user of the mobile terminal 1.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the operation of the MFP 2. This operation is also executed by the CPU 21 of the MFP 2 operating according to an operation program stored in a storage medium such as the ROM 22.

  When the job execution instruction is received from the portable terminal 1 in step S11, login is permitted based on the login information included in the job execution instruction, and then in step S12, the document is set on the document table or the automatic document feeder. Check if it was. If it has been set (YES in step S12), in step S13, confirmation information acquisition processing for confirming whether or not the set original is the original of the user of the mobile terminal 1 who has logged into the apparatus is performed. The confirmation information acquisition process is the same as the confirmation information acquisition process described in step S02 of the flowchart of FIG.

  Next, in step S14, a document authenticity determination process is performed to determine whether the document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1, and then the process proceeds to step S15. The document authenticity determination process is the same as the document authenticity determination process described in step S04 of the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S15, based on the result of the document authenticity determination process, it is determined whether or not the document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1. If the document is a document of the user of the portable terminal 1 (YES in step S15), step S16 is performed. Then, after scanning of the original is started based on the job setting information from the portable terminal 1, in step S17, the obtained image data is transmitted to the designated transmission destination, and the process proceeds to step S18. If the original is not the original of the user of the portable terminal 1 (NO in step S15), the job execution instruction is discarded in step S19, and the process proceeds to step S18. In step S18, the user from the portable terminal 1 is logged out.

  If no document is set in step S12 (NO in step S12), it is determined in step S20 whether or not it is possible to shift to the standby mode. If it is possible to shift to the standby mode (YES in step S20), after shifting to the standby mode in step S21, the process returns to step S12. Therefore, in this case, when a document is set, if it is determined that the set document belongs to the user, a scan job is executed. On the other hand, if it is not possible to shift to the standby mode (NO in step S20), after the job execution instruction is discarded in step S19, the user from the portable terminal 1 is logged out in step S18.

  As an example of the case where it is determined in step S20 that it is possible to shift to the standby mode, for example, a case where the scan operation screen is not displayed on the display unit 271 of the MFP 2 can be cited. This is because, if the scan operation screen is displayed on the display unit 271, it is considered that another user is performing a scan operation, and therefore, there is a possibility that another person's document may be erroneously scanned. Further, when communication with the mobile terminal 1 is performed by short-range wireless communication, it is considered that the user of the mobile terminal 1 is near the MFP 2 and thus it is determined that the mode can be shifted to the document standby mode. Further, when there is only one user in the vicinity of the own apparatus or when the MFP 2 is not used, it is highly possible that the user is the user of the portable terminal 1, and therefore it is determined that the mode can be shifted to the document standby mode. Is done.

  Further, even when the MFP 2 receives text data such as image data or title included in the first page of the document as information related to the document from the portable terminal 1, it is determined that the document standby mode can be entered. The
