The same reference numerals are given to the same components, and the description will be omitted.

Example 1
[Configuration of image forming system]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an image forming system 100 including an image forming apparatus 10. In the image forming system 100, the image forming apparatus 10, the image forming apparatus 15, the image forming apparatus 20, and the authentication server 30 are communicably connected to each other via a network 80 such as a LAN. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user 5 logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 and uses the function of the image forming apparatus 10. A general information processing apparatus such as a PC is used as the authentication server 30, and a function restriction list 35 in which function restriction information is defined for each user is internally held. Here, the function restriction information is information for restricting the use of functions that can be provided by each image forming apparatus in the image forming system 100 for each user. For example, it is information that permits the copy function to a predetermined user but prohibits the transmission function. Details of the function restriction list will be described later.

  An outline of the operation of the image forming system 100 when the user 5 uses a desired function of the image forming apparatus 10 will be described. The image forming apparatus 10 first inquires of the authentication server 30 based on the login information of the user 5, and determines whether to permit the execution of the function based on the result. Here, the authentication server 30 sends back an ACT (Access Control Token) token 40 to the image forming apparatus 10 based on the function restriction list 35 and the inquiry information notified from the image forming apparatus 10. The ACT token 40 describes functional restriction information that the user 5 can use or can not use in the image forming apparatus 10. When the image forming apparatus 10 receives the ACT token 40, the image forming apparatus 10 refers to the contents of the ACT token 40 and performs function restriction on the user 5. Here, the image forming apparatus 10 can also display an error display or a warning display to the user 5 regarding the function whose function is limited.

[Configuration of image forming apparatus]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the image forming apparatus 10, 15, 20. Hereinafter, although the image forming apparatus 10 will be described, the same applies to the image forming apparatuses 15 and 20. The image forming apparatus 10 includes a CPU 201, an auxiliary storage unit 202, a memory 203, a scanner unit 204, a FAX transmission / reception unit 205, a printing unit 206, an operation panel 207, and a communication interface 208. The respective units are communicably connected to each other via an internal bus 209. The auxiliary storage unit 202 is constituted by a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk, stores large-volume data, and holds an execution code of a program and an execution history of each job. Here, the job execution history refers to a copy job, a box print job, a print job, a transmission job, etc. executed by the CPU 201 with the scanner unit 204, printing unit 206, fax transmission / reception unit 205, communication interface 208, etc. I say history. The job execution history is held in the job history storage unit 2021 in the auxiliary storage unit 202. An address book storage unit 2022 in the auxiliary storage unit 202 holds output destination candidates used when executing a transmission job. The output destination candidate can be designated by the user as the destination of the transmission job. The auxiliary storage unit 202 stores data that needs to be held for a long time as compared with a memory 203 described later.

  The memory 203 is a ROM that stores various programs executed by the CPU 201, and a RAM that temporarily stores data necessary for control. The scanner unit 204 optically reads a recording medium such as a document. A FAX transmission / reception unit 205 is connected to a telephone line, and performs FAX transmission / reception with the outside. The printing unit 206 prints an image or the like on a recording medium based on the data. The printing unit 206 performs printing on a recording medium, for example, by discharging ink from the recording head. The operation panel 207 displays a user interface screen to the user. The operation panel 207 also receives an instruction from the user via the user interface screen. The communication interface 208 performs e-mail transmission, SMB transmission, and data transmission / reception required for authentication via the network 80.

  The CPU 201 executes various programs and controls the entire image forming apparatus 10. The CPU 201 loads the program stored in the auxiliary storage unit 202 in the memory 203 and executes the program. As a result, the CPU 201 instructs each unit to realize various functions such as scan, print, and transmission. In addition, the CPU 201 determines, for each user who uses the image forming apparatus 10, whether to permit the use of various functions. The determination method will be described later. The CPU 201 also acquires function restriction information for each user that is the basis of the determination from the authentication server 30 via the communication interface 208 and the network 80. The CPU 201 instructs each unit according to the acquired function restriction information, and executes the function restriction for each user.

[Function restriction list]
Next, the function restriction list 35 held by the authentication server 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the function restriction list 35. As shown in FIG. The columns 301 to 307 shown in FIG. 3 indicate the columns of the table. Data 308 to 311 indicate function restriction information corresponding to the attributes of each user defined in the function restriction list 35. Here, when “Permit” is defined as the function restriction information, it indicates that the user having the attribute is permitted to use the function. On the other hand, when "Deny" is defined, it indicates that the user having the attribute is prohibited from using the function. “Color” in the function restriction list 35 indicates that color printing is permitted. "BW" indicates that only black and white printing is permitted. Also, when a numerical value is defined, or when “Yes” or “No” is defined, it is interpreted in the meaning corresponding to the contents defined in each function detail of the column 302.

  Column 301 shows the function provided by each image forming apparatus. Column 302 shows the details of the functions shown in column 301. Columns 303 to 307 indicate function restriction information on the attributes of each user. A column 303 indicates function restriction information of a user having "Administrator" as an attribute, and a column 304 indicates function restriction information of a user having "PowerUser" as an attribute. A column 305 shows function restriction information of a user having "GeneralUser" as an attribute, and a column 306 shows function restriction information of a user having "LimitedUser" as an attribute. A column 307 shows function restriction information of a user having "GuestUser" as an attribute. For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in data 308 and 311, a user having “GeneralUser” as an attribute has a new destination transmission function of inputting a new destination and transmitting, or an address book editing function. Use is permitted. Further, as indicated by data 309 and 310, the user having “LimitedUser” as an attribute is prohibited from the new destination transmission function and the address book editing function.

User management table
The image forming apparatus 10 internally holds a user management table as shown in FIG. The image forming apparatus 10 can recognize the attribute of the user 5 by referring to the user management table as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the user management table 400. The management table 400 manages the user name 401, the UID 402, the group name 403, the GID 404, and the permission group 405 in association with one another. For example, for the user a, the UID 402 is "001", the group name 403 is "business N", the GID 404 is "501", and the permission group 405 is "General User". Here, the permission group 405 represents an attribute.

Run job
The process of executing a job and storing the job execution history in the job history storage unit 2021 of the auxiliary storage unit 202 will be described below with reference to the flowchart in FIG. Note that this process is realized by the CPU 201 developing a program stored in the auxiliary storage unit 202 in the memory 203 and executing the program. First, in S501, the user 5 logs in to the image forming apparatus 10. At that time, a screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the operation panel 207 of the image forming apparatus 10. As shown in FIG. 6, a login screen 601 is displayed on the liquid crystal operation unit 600 in the operation panel 207. On the login screen 601, an input field 602 for inputting a user name, an input field 603 for inputting a password, and an OK key 604 are displayed. In the input field 602, a user name such as "a" is input. In the input field 603, a password corresponding to the username entered in the input field 602 is entered. In S502, it is determined whether the user 5 has pressed the OK key 604. Here, when it is determined that the button 5 is pressed, in step S503, the authentication server 30 is inquired about authentication for permitting the login by the user 5 and function restriction information. The process of S502 is repeated until it is determined that the OK key 604 is pressed. If the user 5 is authenticated as being able to log in, the CPU 201 acquires the ACT token 40 from the authentication server 30 in S505. On the other hand, if the user 5 is not authenticated as not being able to log in, an authentication error screen is displayed (S504), and the process returns to S501 again to display a login screen.

  In S506, the CPU 201 displays a main menu screen including a function list as shown in FIG. 7 according to the contents of the ACT token 40 acquired in S505. FIG. 7 is a view showing an example of the main menu screen 701. As shown in FIG. A button 702 in FIG. 7 is a button for executing a copy function, and when pressed, a setting screen for copying the image read by the scanner unit 204 by the printing unit 206 is displayed. A button 703 is a button for executing a “scan and send” function, and when pressed, for transmitting an image read by the scanner unit 204 to the outside via the FAX transmission / reception unit 205 or the communication interface 208. The setting screen is displayed. A button 704 is a button for executing a “scan and save” function, and when pressed, a setting screen for saving the image read by the scanner unit 204 in the auxiliary storage unit 202 is displayed. A button 705 is a button for executing the "use stored document" function. When the button 705 is pressed, the printing unit 206 copies the image stored in the auxiliary storage unit 202, or a setting screen for transmitting to the outside via the FAX transmission / reception unit 205 or the communication interface 208 is displayed. . A button 706 is a status confirmation / cancel button, and when pressed, checks the status of the copy / print job, transmission job, reception job, save job currently being processed, or cancels processing. The screen for doing is displayed. A button 707 is a logout button, and when pressed, logout is executed.

  Hereinafter, a case where the user 5 whose user name is “a” logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 will be described. The CPU 201 refers to the user management table shown in FIG. 4 and recognizes that “GeneralUser” is set as the attribute in the permission group 405 of the user name “a”. The CPU 201 refers to the table shown in FIG. 3 and gives the user having the attribute “GeneralUser” the copy function, “scan and send” function, “scan and save” function, and “use saved document” function. Recognize that "Permit" is set (permitted). Also, for example, for a user whose attribute is "GuestUser", it is recognized that "Deny" is set for all functions other than the copy function, that is, it is not permitted.

  A case where the user 5 whose attribute is “General User” selects and presses the “scan and send” function of the button 705 will be described. FIG. 8 shows an example of a setting screen displayed when the “scan and send” function of the button 705 is selected and pressed. Here, when the user 5 selects and transmits a transmission destination already registered in the address book storage unit 2022, the address book button 802 is pressed to perform setting. On the other hand, when the transmission destination is newly input and transmitted, the “new input” button 803 is pressed to perform setting. Buttons 804 to 807 are a transmission function setting button group, and when each button is pressed, it is possible to change the document setting, the transmission setting, and the like. As shown in FIG. 3, “Permit” is set for the function of newly inputting and transmitting a transmission destination for a user whose attribute is “General User”. Therefore, the user can press the “enter new” button 803 to enter a new transmission destination. On the other hand, when "Deny" is set, the "newly input" button 803 is displayed with shading or the like so as not to be usable by the user.

  When detecting that the address book button 802 is pressed, the CPU 201 acquires a list of transmission destination information registered from the address book storage unit 2022 and displays the list. The user 5 selects a desired transmission destination from the list and instructs the start of transmission. In addition, when the CPU 201 receives pressing of the “newly input” button 803, the CPU 201 displays a screen (not shown) for selecting a transmission mode on the operation panel 207. In that case, based on the transmission mode selected by the user 5, a destination input screen is displayed, and the user 5 inputs a desired destination and instructs the start of transmission.

  The CPU 201 receives the transmission start instruction, and determines whether execution of the job can be started (S507). Here, if it is determined that the execution can not be started due to, for example, the communication status of the network, the process returns to S506. On the other hand, when it is determined that the execution start is possible, the CPU 201 determines whether the user 5 can execute the specified function (S508). For example, when the attribute of the user is "General User", transmission by FAX, FTP, NCP, SMB, or WebDAV is permitted, but transmission of E-mail or I-FAX is not permitted. Therefore, if the destination includes E-mail or I-FAX, it is determined that transmission is not possible, and a warning display is made to that effect, and the process returns to S506 (S509). In such a case, functions that can not be used may be displayed by shading or the like along with the warning display.

  If it is determined in S508 that the user 5 is an executable function, that function is executed (S510). The CPU 201 determines whether the job for executing the function has ended (S511). Here, if it is determined that the process has not ended, the process of S511 is repeated until it is determined that the process has ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the process has ended, the CPU 201 writes the setting contents set at the time of transmission and the information of the transmission result in the job history storage unit 2021 of the auxiliary storage unit 202 (S512).

[Display list of job execution history]
The job history written in the job history storage unit 2021 as described above is displayed as a list when the user presses the status confirmation / cancel button 706. FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen for displaying a list of job statuses and history displays. On the status confirmation / cancellation screen 901, function buttons of a copy function button 902, a print function button 903, a transmission function button 904, and a reception function button 905 are displayed. When each button is pressed, the job status and history related to the function corresponding to each button are displayed. For example, the case where the transmission function button 904 is pressed will be described. When the transmission function button 904 is pressed and the job status button 906 is further pressed, the status of the transmission job being sent is displayed. Further, when the transmission function button 904 is pressed and the job history button 907 is further pressed, the statuses of transmission jobs for which execution has been completed are displayed in a list. Hereinafter, the case where the job history button 907 is pressed will be described.

  The job history list 908 is a list of transmission jobs for which execution has been completed. “Date and time” indicates the date and time when the transmission is completed, “job type” indicates the type of transmission job at the time of execution, and “user name” indicates the name of the user who executed. In addition, for "destination", the transmission destination registered in the address book storage unit 2022 is displayed for the job whose name is the transmission destination of the transmission job, and the new input is for the transmission job whose name is not included. The sent address sent is displayed. “Result” indicates whether the transmission has ended normally or abnormally. When the detailed information button 909 is pressed, details of setting contents of each transmission job are displayed. When a destination registration button 910 (registration instruction) is pressed, the destination of the transmission job selected in the job history list 908 is registered in the address book storage unit 2022 in the auxiliary storage unit 202. When the close button 911 is pressed, the status confirmation / cancel window 901 is closed and the screen returns to the previous screen. As shown in FIG. 9, the history of the transmission job executed by the flowchart of FIG. 5 is displayed as a job history list 908.

[Register transmission destination]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a procedure of processing for registering the transmission destination of the transmission job selected in the transmission job history list in the address book storage unit 2022. Note that this processing is realized by the CPU 201 developing and executing the program stored in the auxiliary storage unit 202 in the memory 203. First, when the user 5 displays the job history list 908, the CPU 201 acquires the ACT token 40 again from the authentication server 30 (S1001). As described above, by re-acquiring the ACT token 40 even when the job history list 908 is displayed, even if the operation restriction of the user 5 is changed, the function restriction can be appropriately performed according to the current situation. . Then, job history data of the corresponding function (in this example, the transmission function) is acquired from the job history storage unit 2021 in the auxiliary storage unit 202 (S1002), and other than the destination registration button 910 is drawn (S1003).

  Next, the CPU 201 determines whether the registration function to the address book storage unit 2022 is permitted for the user 5 (S1004). For example, when the attribute set in the permission group 405 of the user 5 is "LimitedUser" or "GuestUser", the address book editing function is prohibited. Therefore, in that case, the destination registration button 910 is not displayed (S1005). For example, if the attribute is "GeneralUser", the address book editing function recognizes that the function is permitted, and proceeds to the next process.

  Next, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the transmission destination of a desired transmission job is selected by the user in the history of the job history list 908 (S1006). Here, when it is determined that the address registration button 910 is not selected, the address registration button 910 is displayed by hatching or the like in which the instruction can not be received (S1007). On the other hand, when it is determined that the desired transmission job is selected, the CPU 201 determines whether the selected transmission job is a job type to be registered in the auxiliary storage unit 202. Here, if it is determined that the job type is not the registration target job type, the destination registration button 910 is displayed by hatching or the like so that instruction acceptance is not possible (S1008). Here, not being a registration target job type is, for example, a job whose purpose is adjustment or maintenance. Such a job does not need to be registered and managed in the address book storage unit 2022, so it is determined that the job type is not a registration target job type. If it is determined that the job type is a registration target job type, the CPU 201 determines whether the user 5 is permitted to reset the job history of another user (S1009). For example, when the attribute of the user 5 is "GuestUser", as shown in FIG. 3, the function of resetting job histories of other users is prohibited. In that case, the CPU 201 determines whether the selected transmission job is the job of the user 5 (S1010). Here, if it is determined that the job is not the user 5's own job, that is, it is determined that another user's job is selected, the destination registration button 910 is displayed with shading or the like, indicating that the instruction can not be received (S1007) ). On the other hand, when it is determined that the job is the user 5's own job, the destination registration button 910 is displayed so as to be able to receive an instruction (S1011: an example of acceptance display).

  Next, the CPU 201 determines whether the destination registration button 910 has been pressed (S1012). The process of S1012 is repeated until it is determined that the button has been pressed. Here, when it is determined that the transmission job has been pressed, it is determined whether the transmission destination of the selected transmission job is a transmission destination already registered in the address book storage unit 2022 (S1013: an example of registration determination) ). Here, if it is determined that the transmission destination is already registered in the address book storage unit 2022, the registration is duplicated, so that the user is notified of a warning to that effect, and the process returns to S1012 (S1014: No. 1 An example of warning display). It may be displayed on the job history list 908 so that it can be recognized in the address book storage unit 2022 whether it has already been registered.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the address book storage unit 2022 has not been registered yet, the CPU 201 determines whether or not registration to the address book storage unit 2022 can be started. For example, when another job is in execution, such as waiting for transmission start after scanning, there is a possibility that the address book storage unit 2022 is being used for its execution, and a warning display indicates that registration can not be started. (S1016).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the registration can be started, it is determined whether the transmission result of the selected transmission job is normally ended and registered in the history or is abnormally ended and registered in the history (S1017: Example of job judgment). Here, if it is determined that the transmission destination is incorrect if it is determined that the registration is abnormally registered, the user is warned of the fact (S1018: an example of the second warning display). In the warning display, for example, a confirmation button may be displayed, and when it is pressed, the process may advance to S1019. On the other hand, if it is determined that the registration is normally completed and it is determined that the transmission destination of the selected transmission job is registered in the address book storage unit 2022 (S1019).

  Among the processes described above, after the destination registration button 910 is displayed in S1011, there may be a step of determining whether or not registration in the address book storage unit 2022 is possible. In the process, for example, when the number of registrations in the address book storage unit 2022 has reached the upper limit value, it is determined that additional registration can not be performed, and a warning display is made to that effect. In the present embodiment, when a warning is displayed in S1013 or S1017, the registration is temporarily suspended and an instruction from the user is awaited.

  In the present embodiment, the transmission destination is described as an example, but not the transmission destination but, for example, a print output destination may be used. Although it has been described that the authentication server 30 connected to the image forming apparatuses 10, 15, 20 via the network 80 holds the function restriction list 35, the function restriction list 35 is held in the image forming apparatus. You may

  As described above, in a system in which functions that can be used for each user are limited, even when updating information in an address book database such as the address book storage unit 2022 using information on operation history, user authority Perform functional restriction based on it. As a result, updating of database information by a non-authorized user can be restricted, and security can be maintained by preventing unauthorized alteration of the database.

  The present invention is also realized by executing the following processing. That is, software (program) for realizing the functions of the above-described embodiments is supplied to a system or apparatus via a network or various computer-readable storage media, and a computer (or CPU, MPU or the like) of the system or apparatus It is a process of reading and executing a program.
