Description

  The present invention relates to a job execution technique in an image processing apparatus such as an MFP.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, image processing apparatuses equipped with various functions such as copying, network printing, scanning, and fax have become widespread. Such an image processing apparatus may be called a “multifunction peripheral” or “MFP (Multi Function Peripheral)”.

  The increase in the functions of the image processing apparatus has made it possible to execute various types of jobs. Furthermore, it has become possible to set conditions (setting values) for various items.

  However, each time the user executes the job, the user must make settings so that the desired result is obtained. When the number of items increases or the conditions that can be set for the items increase, the setting work becomes complicated.

  Therefore, the image processing apparatus is provided with a function called "program function". According to this function, for example, the setting values of each item of the job can be registered as a program. Then, the user can execute the job according to the set value by calling the program. It is convenient for the user to register the program in advance for regular work.

  In recent years, it has been recommended to save consumables such as paper and toner from the viewpoint of ecology. Therefore, some users may be allowed only to print in a form in which consumables are saved. Alternatively, from the viewpoint of security, execution of a job with a setting value of a specific item may be prohibited for some users. In this way, the use of the image processing apparatus may be restricted by the user.

  The following techniques have been proposed as techniques for limiting use. The image forming apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-242242 is authenticated according to the user, the information managing unit managing information associated with another user who permits the use of the image forming apparatus, and the use of the image forming apparatus. The permission of the use by the user is inquired to the other user associated with the association information, and when the input indicating the permission of the use is made by the other user, the use by the authenticated user is permitted. It has a use restriction means.

  In addition, the following image forming system has been proposed. By sending a proxy print job from the PC to the server, the MFP executes the proxy print job, and then a reprint job requesting printing of image data similar to the image data related to the proxy print job is sent from the PC to the server. In this case, the server causes the reprint job to be sent to the MFP only within the predetermined time from the substitute print time and when the similarity of the image data between the substitute print job and the reprint job is equal to or larger than the predetermined value. Is permitted (Patent Document 2).

  As described above, according to the program function, the user can execute the job according to the desired set value by calling the program without making the setting for each item.

  However, if the user is restricted, the program cannot be used. In order to be able to use the program, conventionally, it has been necessary to ask the administrator of the image processing apparatus to temporarily remove the restriction. In addition, the administrator must remove the restrictions upon request. Therefore, it is troublesome for both the user and the administrator.

  In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to make it easier for a user who is restricted to use a program than in the past.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of the image processing system 4. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the hardware configuration of the image processing apparatus 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the image processing apparatus 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the image processing system 4 includes an image processing device 1, a server 2A, a terminal device 2B, a communication line 3, and the like. The image processing system 4 executes various kinds of processing regarding images.

  The image processing device 1, the server 2A, and the terminal device 2B can communicate via the communication line 3. As the communication line 3, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a public line, a dedicated line, or the like is used.

  The image processing apparatus 1 is an apparatus in which functions such as copy, network print, fax, scan, and box are integrated. Generally, it may be called an “image forming apparatus”, a “multifunction peripheral”, an “MFP (Multi Function Peripherals)”, or the like.

  The network print function is a service for printing an image on paper based on the image data received from the terminal device 2B. It is also called “network printing” or “PC print”.

  The box function is a service in which a storage area called a “box” or a “personal box” is provided for each user, and each user stores and manages image files and the like in his / her own storage area. The box corresponds to a “folder” or a “directory” in a personal computer.

  The image processing apparatus 1 executes various kinds of jobs as exemplified below by these functions.

  The copy job is a job for scanning an image from a sheet and copying the image onto another sheet. The PC print job is a job for receiving image data from the terminal device 2B and printing an image on paper based on the image data.

  The scan-to-E-mail job is a job of reading an image from a sheet of paper, generating image data, and attaching the image to an email address designated by the user and transmitting the email. The box print job is a job for reading image data of an image designated by the user from the box and printing the image on a sheet.

  The user can arbitrarily set the job conditions. However, setting conditions for various items each time the job is executed is troublesome. Therefore, the image processing apparatus 1 has a so-called program function. That is, the image processing apparatus 1 stores a combination of conditions (setting values) for each item as a program. Then, the job is executed based on the program specified by the user.

  Hereinafter, the program in the program function will be referred to as a “job setting program” to distinguish it from other programs.

  The image processing device 1 is shared by a plurality of users. Each user is given a unique user code. The use of the image processing device 1 is restricted for each user. Hereinafter, a case where the image processing apparatus 1 is used in a certain company will be described as an example.

  For example, some users are allowed to perform both color printing and monochrome printing, but some users are prohibited from performing color printing. Alternatively, some users are allowed to send e-mail to all e-mail addresses, but some users are prohibited from sending e-mail to other than pre-registered e-mail addresses.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the image processing apparatus 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10a, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 10b, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 10c, an auxiliary storage device 10d, a touch panel display 10e, and an operation key panel 10f. , NIC (Network Interface Card) 10g, modem 10h, scan unit 10i, print unit 10j, finisher 10k, and the like.

  The touch panel display 10e displays a screen showing a message to the user, a screen for the user to input a command or information, a screen showing the result of processing executed by the CPU 10a, and the like. The touch panel display 10e also sends a signal indicating the touched position to the CPU 10a.

  The operation key panel 10f is a so-called hardware keyboard, and includes a numeric keypad, a start key, a stop key, a function key, and the like.

  The NIC 10g communicates with the terminal device 2B and the like by a protocol such as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).

  The modem 10h exchanges image data with a facsimile terminal using a protocol such as G3.

  The scan unit 10i reads an image written on a sheet set on a platen glass or the like to generate an image file.

  The print unit 10j prints on the paper the image read by the scan unit 10i and the image indicated by the image data received from the terminal device 2B or the facsimile terminal by the NIC 10g or the modem 10h.

  The finisher 10k performs a finishing process on a sheet on which an image is printed by the print unit 10j, that is, a printed matter. The finishing process includes a process of binding the printed matter with staples, a process of punching holes in the printed matter, a process of bending the printed matter, and the like.

  A computer program for executing the various types of jobs described above is stored in the ROM 10c or the auxiliary storage device 10d.

  Further, the auxiliary storage device 10d stores, as one of the computer programs, a job control program 10P (see FIG. 3) that controls each unit so that the job instructed by the user is executed.

  These computer programs are loaded into the RAM 10b as needed and executed by the CPU 10a. A hard disk, an SSD (Solid State Drive), or the like is used as the auxiliary storage device 10d.

  According to the job control program 10P, when a user tries to execute a job by using a job setting program, even if the job setting program includes a condition prohibited by the user, there are certain requirements. If the condition is satisfied, the job can be executed. Hereinafter, this mechanism will be described.

  According to the job control program 10P, the setting value acceptance processing unit 101, the program data generation unit 102, the template data acquisition unit 103, the seal imprint data acquisition unit 104, the program data storage unit 121, the restriction data storage unit 122, and the program designation shown in FIG. A reception unit 131, an authority necessity determination unit 132, a time requirement presence / absence determination unit 133, a document determination unit 134, an approval presence / absence determination unit 135, a document image data acquisition unit 136, an output image data generation unit 137, an image output processing unit 138, The functions of the release notification unit 139 and the like are realized in the image processing apparatus 1.

  The server 2A is used for substituting some functions of the image processing apparatus 1. The terminal device 2B is a client for remotely using the above-described functions of the image processing device 1. A personal computer, a tablet computer, a smartphone, or the like is used as the terminal device 2B.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the program data 6A. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the template reception screen 5B. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the template 7B. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the seal impression acceptance screen 5C. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the seal imprint 7C. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the restriction data 6D.

  The setting value reception processing unit 101 to the second cancellation requirement data generation unit 106 mainly perform processing for registration of a new job setting program. This process is executed according to the procedure shown in FIG.

  The setting value reception processing unit 101 executes processing for receiving the setting values of this job setting program as follows.

  When the administrator of the image processing apparatus 1 specifies a job type and inputs a predetermined command (registration command), the setting value reception processing unit 101 displays a setting value input screen 5A corresponding to the specified type on the touch panel display 10e. It is displayed (# 801 in FIG. 4). For example, when a copy job is designated, the setting value input screen 5A1 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed as the setting value input screen 5A.

  Here, the administrator specifies the setting value of each item of this job setting program. In the case of a copy job, the pull-down menus 5A11 to 5A14 are designated as follows.

  The administrator specifies the document surface (whether to read only the front (front) surface of the document sheet or both sides) in the pull-down menu 5A11. The print color (whether to print in color, grayscale, or monochrome) is designated in the pull-down menu 5A12. When performing aggregate printing, the pull-down menu 5A13 is used to specify how many pages of the document are to be aggregated on one side of the printing destination sheet. When the aggregate print is not performed, "No" is designated in the pull-down menu 5A13. Note that the aggregate printing may be generally called “N-up printing” or “Nin1 printing”. The output side (single-sided printing or double-sided printing) is designated in the pull-down menu 5A14.

  Further, the administrator specifies the name of this job setting program in the text box 5A15. To prohibit the use of this job setting program by a user who is not permitted to execute the setting values specified in the pull-down menus 5A11 to 5A14 without exception, check box 5A16 is turned on. As a result, "prohibition" is designated. Turn off if exceptional requirements are met if certain requirements are met. As a result, "permission" is designated. Then, the registration button 5A17 is pressed. Hereinafter, the condition of prohibiting or permitting the use of the job setting program for such a user will be referred to as an “exception permission / denial condition”.

  In this embodiment, the use of this job setting program is exceptionally permitted when the document to be copied is a specific document. Further, in addition to this requirement, it may be required that a specific user pushes the stamp.

  When the registration button 5A17 is pressed, the image processing apparatus 1 accepts the contents specified in the pull-down menus 5A11 to 5A14, the text box 5A15, and the check box 5A16 (# 802).

  In addition, the administrator inputs to the image processing apparatus 1 the name of the project in which this job setting program is used and the e-mail address of a specific post (for example, project leader) of the project.

  The program data generation unit 102 generates the program data 6A and stores it in the program data storage unit 121 in association with a unique identifier (hereinafter, referred to as “program identifier”) (# 803). In the program data 6A, as shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the content accepted by the setting value acceptance processing unit 101, the type of job to which this is applied is indicated. When these contents are designated by the setting value input screen 5A1, "copy job" is shown as the type of job.

  The template data acquisition unit 103 may specify that the use of this job setting program may be permitted when the value of the exceptional permission / prohibition condition accepted by the setting value acceptance processing unit 101 is “permitted” (Yes in # 804). The image data of the document template of is acquired as follows.

  The template data acquisition unit 103 displays the template reception screen 5B as shown in FIG. 7 on the touch panel display 10e (# 805).

  Here, the administrator sets the paper on which the template of the specific document is written in the scan unit 10i. The specific document is, for example, a document created by a user (that is, an employee of the company) for a specific job. In this case, the administrator prepares the paper on which the template 7B (7B1 to 7B4) is written as shown in FIGS. 8A to 8D and sets it in the scan unit 10i.

  Further, when it is desired to limit the time period in which the use of this job setting program is permitted (hereinafter referred to as “permitted time period”), the administrator specifies the permitted time period in the text box 5B1.

  Then, the administrator presses the registration button 5B2 when the setting of the sheets is completed and the permitted time zone is designated as necessary.

  Then, the template data acquisition unit 103 controls the scan unit 10i so as to read the image (template 7B) from the sheet and generate the image data (# 806). Thereby, the image data is acquired.

  Then, the template data acquisition unit 103 stores the acquired image data as the template data 6B in the program data storage unit 121 in association with the program data 6A and its program identifier (# 807). When the permitted time zone is designated, the designated permitted time zone is added to the program data 6A.

  The seal imprint data acquisition unit 104 acquires image data of a seal imprint of a specific user's stamp as follows, as necessary.

  When the template data 6B is stored in the program data storage unit 121, the seal imprint data acquisition unit 104 displays the seal imprint acceptance screen 5C as shown in FIG. 9 on the touch panel display 10e (# 808).

  Here, the administrator sets the paper, on which the stamp of the specific user is pressed (that is, the imprint is imprinted), as shown in FIG. 10, in the scan unit 10i. Then, the registration button 5C1 is pressed.

  When the registration button 5C1 is pressed (Yes in # 809), the imprint data acquisition unit 104 controls the scan unit 10i so as to read an image from the sheet and generate image data (# 810). A seal imprint (hereinafter referred to as “seal imprint 7C”) is cut out from the read image based on the generated image data (# 811). As a result, image data of the seal imprint 7C is obtained.

  Then, the seal image data acquisition unit 104 stores the obtained image data as the seal image data 6C in the program data storage unit 121 in association with the program data 6A and its program identifier and the template data 6B (# 812).

  When the skip button 5C2 is pressed on the imprint acceptance screen 5C (No in # 809), the processes of steps # 810 to # 812, that is, the process of registering the imprint 7C are skipped.

  When the value of the exception permission / prohibition condition accepted by the set value acceptance processing unit 101 is “prohibited” (No in # 804), the processes of steps # 805 to # 812, that is, the process of registering the template 7B and the imprint 7C. The registration process of is skipped.

  In this way, the administrator can prepare the job setting program. It is also possible to prepare multiple job setting programs. In the above example, the job setting program for the copy job is prepared, but other types of job setting programs can be prepared.

  Further, each time the job setting program is prepared, the program data 6A is stored in the program data storage unit 121, and further the template data 6B and the seal image data 6C are stored as necessary.

  The restriction data storage unit 122 stores restriction data 6D for each user, as shown in FIG. Each limit data 6D shows a set value that cannot be specified by each user.

  For example, in the restriction data 6D1, it is prohibited for a user having a user code of “A001” to specify “color printing” as the setting value of the print color, and to specify “no” as the setting value of the aggregate printing. It is shown that it is prohibited and that specifying "single-sided" as the setting value of the output surface is prohibited. In other words, the restriction data 6D1 does not allow this user to perform color printing, only allow aggregate printing when executing a job involving printing, and not allow single-sided printing. It is shown. It should be noted that there is no limit to the item whose set value is "-". That is, there is no prohibited set value.

  The setting value that cannot be specified (prohibited) by each user is determined in advance by the administrator of the image processing apparatus 1 based on the policy of this company and the circumstances of each user. Then, the administrator creates the restriction data 6D and stores it in the restriction data storage unit 122 so that the determined setting value is indicated.

[Using the job setting program]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the original image 7E before editing. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of job processing. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the program designation screen 5D. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of exception processing. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the edited original image 7E.

  The user creates a specific document using the template 7B. For example, a sheet on which the template 7B3 (see FIG. 8C) is printed is prepared, and various information is written on this sheet as shown in FIG. The user intends to copy the created document for distribution to colleagues as meeting material. However, it must be copied in the prescribed form. In addition, if a specific user (for example, a boss) needs to approve the copy in that form, the specific user must press a stamp on the sheet. That is, the imprint 7C of a specific user is required.

  After that, the user logs in to the image processing apparatus 1 using his / her user code. Hereinafter, a user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus 1 will be referred to as a “logged-in user”. Then, the logged-in user sets this sheet on the scan unit 10i and inputs a predetermined command (program call command) to the image processing apparatus 1.

  Then, the program designation receiving unit 131 to the image output processing unit 138 execute the job based on the job setting program in the procedure shown in FIG.

  The program designation receiving unit 131 executes the process for receiving the designation of the job setting program as follows.

  The program designation receiving unit 131 displays the program designation screen 5D as shown in FIG. 14 on the touch panel display 10e (# 821 in FIG. 13).

  Here, the logged-in user specifies the job setting program for outputting in that form by pressing the corresponding button. For example, when using a job setting program named "Sales Section Monthly Report", the job setting program is designated by pressing the selection button 5D1. Then, the call button 5D7 is pressed.

  Then, the program designation receiving unit 131 receives the designation of this job setting program (# 822). Hereinafter, the job setting program designated by the login user will be referred to as a “designated program”.

  The authority necessity determination unit 132 determines whether or not the logged-in user has the authority to execute the job based on the setting value indicated in the designated program as follows.

  The authority necessity determining unit 132 calls the restricted data 6D (see FIG. 11) of the logged-in user from the restricted data storage unit 122 (# 823), and also retrieves the program data 6A (see FIG. 6) of the designated program from the program data storage unit 121. Call (# 824).

  Then, if no setting value shown in the program data 6A is shown in the restriction data 6D, the authority necessity determination unit 132 determines that the logged-in user has the authority, and even one setting value is shown. If so, it is determined that the user does not have the authority (# 825). That is, if even one item is subject to the restrictions imposed on the login user, it is determined that the user does not have the authority, and if not, it is determined that the user has the authority.

  The document image data acquisition unit 136, the output image data generation unit 137, and the image output processing unit 138 perform a process of copying an image (hereinafter, referred to as “document image 7E”) written on the set paper. This is executed according to the result of the determination by the authority necessity determination unit 132.

  When it is determined by the authority necessity determination unit 132 that the login user has the authority, that is, when the restriction of the designated program is not violated (No in # 826), the original image data acquisition unit 136 determines whether the original image data is acquired from the set paper. The scan unit 10i is controlled so as to read the original image 7E and generate image data (# 827). Thereby, the image data is acquired. Hereinafter, this image data is referred to as “original image data 6E”.

  The output image data generation unit 137 edits the document image 7E according to the set value indicated in the program data 6A and based on the document image data 6E (# 828). For example, when the program data 6A indicates "monochrome" as the print color setting value and "2 in 1" as the output surface setting value, the original image 7E is converted to monochrome and the two pages are printed. Edit the image so that it fits on one printing surface. Hereinafter, the image data of the edited original image 7E will be referred to as "output image data 6F".

  Then, the image output processing unit 138 executes a process of outputting an image using the output image data 6F (# 829). In this example, since the type of job is a copy job, the print unit 10j is caused to execute a process of printing the image (edited original image 7E) shown in the output image data 6F on paper.

  On the other hand, when the authority necessity determination unit 132 determines that the logged-in user does not have authority, that is, when the restriction of the designated program is violated (Yes in # 826), the "exception permission / denial condition" of the program data 6A. If is “permitted” (Yes in # 830), a process of determining whether or not the job may be executed exceptionally is performed, and when it is determined that the job may be executed, the image is output. Processing is performed (# 831). These processes are executed in the procedure shown in FIG.

  The time requirement presence / absence determining unit 133 determines whether or not the time requirement for execution of the designated program is satisfied as follows (# 841 in FIG. 15).

  When the current time belongs to the permitted time zone shown in the program data 6A called in step # 824, the time requirement presence / absence determination unit 133 determines that the time requirement is satisfied. Even when the program data 6A does not indicate the permitted time zone, it is determined that the time requirement is satisfied. Although the program data 6A indicates the permitted time zone, if the current time does not belong to this, it is determined that the time requirement is not satisfied.

  When the time requirement presence / absence determining unit 133 determines that the time requirement is satisfied (Yes in # 842), the document image data acquiring unit 136 controls the scan unit 10i as described above to control the document image. The data 6E is acquired (# 843).

  The document discriminating unit 134 discriminates whether or not the document image 7E is related to an exception application document as follows. The “exception application document” is a document that may exceptionally release the restriction on the login user and execute the job.

  The document discrimination unit 134 calls the template data 6B associated with the program data 6A from the program data storage unit 121 (# 844). Whether the template 7B is included in the original image 7E is determined by comparing the image shown in the template data 6B (template 7B) with the image shown in the acquired original image data 6E (original image 7E). Is determined (# 845).

  Then, the document determination unit 134 determines that the document image 7E is of an exception application document if the template 7B is included, and determines that it is not of an exception application document if it is not included.

  The template 7B and the original image 7E may be compared by a known method. For example, the SAD (Sum of Absolute Differences) method may be used.

  The document image determination unit 134 determines that the document image 7E is an exception application document (Yes in # 846), and the seal image data 6C is stored in the program data storage unit 121 in association with the program data 6A. If yes (# 847: Yes), the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 determines as follows whether or not a specific user has approved removal of the restriction on the logged-in user.

  The approval / non-approval determining unit 135 calls the seal image data 6C associated with the program data 6A from the program data storage unit 121 (# 848). The seal image 7C is included in the original image 7E by comparing the image (the original image 7C) shown in the seal image data 6C with the image (the original image 7E) shown in the original image data 6E acquired in step # 843. It is determined whether or not (# 849). The color of the seal imprint is often red. Therefore, a component of a specific color (for example, red) may be extracted from each of the seal imprint 7C and the original image 7E and compared.

  Then, if the seal imprint is included, the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 determines that the specific user has approved the removal of the restriction on the logged-in user. If it is not included, it is determined that it has not been approved.

  When the approval / non-approval determining unit 135 determines that the specific user has approved (Yes in # 850), the output image data generating unit 137 is displayed in the program data 6A as in step # 828 of FIG. The original image 7E is edited according to the set value and based on the original image data 6E (# 851).

  However, in step # 851, the output image data generation unit 137 adds the marker 7J indicating that the restriction on the logged-in user is exceptionally lifted to the original image 7E, and the seal image 7C is added to the original image, as shown in FIG. Delete from 7E. Hereinafter, the image data of the edited original image 7E in step # 851 will be referred to as "output image data 6G".

  Then, the image output processing unit 138 executes a process of outputting an image by using the output image data 6G (# 852). In this example, since the type of job is a copy job, the print unit 10j is caused to execute the process of printing the image shown in the output image data 6G on paper.

  The document image determination unit 134 determines that the document image 7E is an exception application document (Yes in # 846), but the seal image data 6C corresponding to the program data 6A is not stored in the program data storage unit 121. In this case (No in # 847), it is not determined whether or not the particular user needs to authenticate. Similar to step # 851, the output image data generation unit 137 edits the document image 7E according to the set value shown in the program data 6A and based on the document image data 6E (# 853).

  However, in step # 853, the output image data generation unit 137 adds the marker 7J indicating that the restriction on the login user is exceptionally lifted to the original image 7E. Hereinafter, the image data of the edited original image 7E in step # 853 will be referred to as "output image data 6H".

  Then, the image output processing unit 138 executes a process of outputting an image using the output image data 6H (# 854). In this example, since the type of job is a copy job, the print unit 10j is caused to execute the process of printing the image shown in the output image data 6H on paper.

  When the image output processing unit 138 executes the output process in step # 852 or # 854, the cancellation notification unit 139 is a message for notifying that the restriction to the logged-in user is canceled and the output process is executed. 6K is sent by e-mail to the e-mail address associated with the designated program (# 855). As described above, this e-mail address belongs to the user who has the specific position of the project related to the designated program.

  The message 6K shows the name and program identifier of the designated program, the date and time when the designated program was used, the user name and user code of the logged-in user, the name of the project related to the designated program, and the like. It is preferable that the title of the e-mail is "Restriction release" or the like. Further, the output image data 6G or the output image data 6H may be attached as an attached file and transmitted.

  The predetermined user may be an administrator of the project related to the designated program, or may be a person who has performed the work of registering the program data 6A of the designated program in the program data storage unit 121.

  When the time requirement presence / absence determination unit 133 determines that the time requirement is not satisfied (No in # 842), the document determination unit 134 determines that the original image 7E is not an exception application document (# 846). No), and if the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 determines that the specific user has not approved (No in # 850), the execution of the job is canceled (# 856).

  Returning to FIG. 13, if the “exception permission / denial condition” of the program data 6A is “prohibition” (No in # 830), the execution of the job is canceled (# 832).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the overall processing flow of the image processing apparatus 1.

  Next, the overall flow of processing related to the job setting program will be described with reference to the flowchart.

  The image processing apparatus 1 executes processing according to the procedure shown in FIG. 17 based on the job control program 10P.

  When the registration command is input (Yes in # 11), the image processing apparatus 1 executes a process for registering the program data 6A, the necessary template data 6B and the seal image data 6C (# 12). The flow of this processing is as described above with reference to FIG.

  Alternatively, when the program call command is input (Yes in # 13), the image processing apparatus 1 executes the job using the job setting program designated by the login user (# 14). The procedure for executing the job is as described above with reference to FIG.

  The image processing apparatus 1 appropriately executes the process of step # 12 and the process of step # 14 while the power is on.

  According to this embodiment, it is possible to more easily use a job setting program by a user who is restricted.

  In particular, when a job setting program is prepared and used for each project or department, this embodiment is suitable for creating a document having a fixed format (for example, a regular meeting document, monthly report, application form, etc.). Used for.

  In the present embodiment, the image processing apparatus 1 adds the marker 7J when releasing the restriction of the logged-in user and outputting the document image 7E. However, instead of the marker 7J, or together with the marker 7J, other information is displayed. You may add the image to represent. For example, the name of the project (project name) related to the job setting program used (that is, the designated program), the user name or user code of the logged-in user, or a character string representing the date and time when the job is executed is set in the header or footer. You may add. The marker 7J may be printed on the paper as a watermark or a tint block.

  In the present embodiment, the image processing apparatus 1 deletes the seal image 7C and prints the original image 7E on the paper, but it may print it without deleting it.

  In the present embodiment, the specific user approves the exceptional removal of the login user restriction by pressing his / her stamp on the paper of the original image 7E, but by writing his / her signature. May be.

  In this case, the image data of the signature may be stored in the program data storage unit 121 instead of the seal image data 6C. Then, the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 may determine whether or not the specific user has approved to release the restriction on the logged-in user by checking whether or not the signature of the specific user is included.

  In this embodiment, the case where the program data 6A is used for a copy job has been described as an example, but the present invention can be applied to the case of executing another type of job.

  For example, when the program data 6A is used for a PC print job, the image processing apparatus 1 may execute the following processing.

  The user uses the terminal device 2B to perform the following work. The file of the template 7B is opened using word processing software or drawing software, and various information is written in the template 7B. Further, the template 7B is asked to merge a seal imprint 7C with a specific user (for example, the user's boss) as necessary. As a result, a document image equivalent to the document image 7E shown in FIG. 12 is prepared. Further, the user specifies the job setting program to be used. Then, a predetermined command (print command) is input.

  Then, the terminal device 2B generates print data for printing the original image 7K and transmits it to the image processing device 1. At this time, the image processing apparatus 1 is notified of the designated job setting program and the user code of the user.

  When the image processing apparatus 1 receives the print data from the terminal apparatus 2B and is notified of the job setting program, the print data is used instead of the original image data 6E and shown in # 844 to # 854 of FIG. The appropriate processing is executed. At this time, the notified program setting program data 6A, the template data 6B, and the imprint image data 6C, and the notified user code restriction data 6D are used.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the original image 7L. FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a modified example of the flow of exception processing. FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of restart processing.

  In the present embodiment, when the login user needs the approval of the specific user to use the designated program, the login user writes on the paper on which the template 7B is printed and then has the specific user imprint it. . However, there is a case where a specific user cannot immediately imprint it because of absence.

  In this case, the logged-in user can proceed with the preparation for copying halfway using a sheet without an imprint as shown in FIG. 18A so that the printed matter can be obtained quickly. Then, if the sheet is imprinted as shown in FIG. 18B, the job can be completed using the sheet.

  The processing of each unit (see FIG. 3) of the image processing apparatus 1 and the operation of the logged-in user in this case will be described below with reference to FIGS. 13, 19, 20, and 21.

  The logged-in user sets the paper shown in FIG. 18A in the scan unit 10i and inputs the program call command to the image processing apparatus 1.

  Then, each unit (see FIG. 3) of the image processing apparatus 1 executes the process in the procedure shown in FIG. However, the process of step # 831 is executed in the procedure shown in FIG.

  The time requirement presence / absence determining unit 133 determines whether or not the time requirement for executing the designated program is satisfied as follows (# 861 in FIG. 19). The determination method is the same as the determination method in step # 841 of FIG. 15, and is as described above.

  When the original image data acquisition unit 136 satisfies the time requirement (Yes in # 862), the original image data acquisition unit 136 causes the scan unit 10i to scan the paper, as in the case of step # 843 of FIG. The image data of the described image (hereinafter referred to as “original image 7L”) is acquired (# 863).

  The approval / non-approval determination unit 135 determines whether or not the original image 7L relates to an exception application document (# 864 to # 865). The determination method is as described in steps # 844 to # 845 of FIG.

  Although the document determination unit 134 determines that the document image 7E is an exception application document (Yes in # 866), the seal image data 6C is stored in the program data storage unit 121 in association with the program data 6A of the designated program. If not stored (No in # 867), the output image data generation unit 137 edits the original image 7L (# 871), and the image output processing unit 138 outputs the edited original image 7L ( # 872). The method of these processes is the same as the case of steps # 853 and # 854 in FIG.

  Then, the cancellation notifying unit 139 transmits the message 6K to the administrator (# 873), as in the case of step # 855 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the imprint image data 6C is stored (Yes in # 867), the output image data generation unit 137 edits the original image 7L (# 868). Hereinafter, the image data of the edited original image 7L will be referred to as "original image data 6L".

  In the example of FIG. 15, the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 determines whether or not the specific user has approved the removal of the restriction on the logged-in user, but the seal imprint 7C is not yet input to the image processing apparatus 1.

  Therefore, the output image data generation unit 137 temporarily associates the original image data 6L with the program identifier of the program data 6A of the designated program and the user code of the login user, and temporarily stores it in a predetermined storage area (hereinafter, "temporary data storage Section).) (# 869). Then, the job execution is temporarily stopped (# 870).

  Similar to the case of FIG. 15, when the time requirement is not satisfied (No in # 862) and when it is determined that the original image 7L is not an exception application document (No in # 866), the job is executed. Is canceled (# 874).

  After that, when the login user asks a specific user to imprint the paper as shown in FIG. 18B, the paper is set in the scan unit 10i. Then, a predetermined command (restart command) is input to the image processing apparatus 1. If the user logs out from the image processing apparatus 1, the user logs in to the image processing apparatus 1 again before inputting.

  Then, each unit of the image processing apparatus 1 executes the process in the procedure shown in FIG. The document image data acquisition unit 136 scans the set sheet by the scan unit 10i to read the image written on the sheet (# 881 in FIG. 20). This image includes the original image 7L and the seal imprint 7C.

  The approval / non-approval determining unit 135 determines whether or not a specific user has approved to release the restriction on the logged-in user as follows.

  The approval / non-approval determination unit 135 calls the document image data 6L stored in the data temporary storage unit in association with the user code of the login user (# 882). The difference between the image read in step # 881 and the image shown in the called original image data 6L is calculated (# 883). As a result, the seal imprint 7C is extracted.

  The approval / non-approval determination unit 135 calls from the program data storage unit 121 the seal image data 6C associated with the program identifier associated with the document image data 6L in the data temporary storage unit 123 (# 884). Then, the extracted stamp imprint 7C is compared with the stamp imprint 7C shown in the stamp imprint image data 6C, and if they match, it is determined that a specific user has approved that the restriction on the logged-in user should be released, and if they do not match. , It is determined that it has not been approved (# 885). At this time, as in the case of step # 849 in FIG. 15, a component of a specific color (for example, red) may be extracted and compared.

  When the approval / non-approval determining unit 135 determines that the specific user has approved the output image data generating unit 137 (Yes in # 886), the output image data generating unit 137 determines the setting value indicated in the program data 6A related to the program identifier. The original image 7L is edited based on the original image data 6L (# 887). At this time, the marker 7J (see FIG. 16) is added.

  Then, the image output processing unit 138 executes a process of outputting the edited original image 7L (# 887). In this example, since the type of job is a copy job, the print unit 10j is caused to execute the process of printing the original image 7L on paper.

  The marker 7J may be added to the image read in step # 881 and printed on a sheet.

  When the output processing is completed, the cancellation notifying unit 139 transmits the message 6K to the administrator, as in step # 855 in FIG. 15 (# 888).

  If the process shown in FIG. 20 is not executed even after a predetermined time (for example, 24 hours) has elapsed after the document image data 6L is stored in the data temporary storage unit, the document image data 6L is temporarily stored as data. It is preferably erased from the storage. Alternatively, the document image data 6L may be deleted from the temporary data storage unit when the process shown in FIG. 20 is not executed even after a predetermined date (for example, 17:00 on Friday). The predetermined time and the predetermined date may be set for each project.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart illustrating a modified example of the overall processing flow in the image processing apparatus 1.

  Next, the overall flow of processing related to the job setting program in this modification will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  When the registration command is input (Yes in # 21 of FIG. 21), the image processing apparatus 1 executes a process for registering the program data 6A, the necessary template data 6B, and the seal image data 6C (# 22). . The flow of this processing is as described above with reference to FIG.

  Alternatively, when the program call command is input (Yes in # 23), the image processing apparatus 1 executes the job using the job setting program designated by the login user (# 24). The procedure for executing the job is as described above with reference to FIG. However, the process of step # 831 of FIG. 13 is executed by the method shown in FIG.

  Alternatively, when the restart command is input (Yes in # 25), the image processing apparatus 1 restarts the job waiting for the approval of the specific user (# 26). The procedure of the process after the restart is as shown in FIG.

  The image processing apparatus 1 appropriately executes the process of step # 22, the process of step # 24, and the process of step # 26 while the power is on.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of the restriction selection screen 5M. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a registration sheet on which a plurality of imprints 7C are printed. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a sheet on which a plurality of seal images 7C and images to be copied are written. FIG. 25 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the flow of approval processing.

  In the present embodiment, even if the logged-in user does not have the necessary authority, the restriction can be released and the job setting program can be used by having a specific one user imprint it. Items (functions) for which restrictions are lifted were not asked.

  However, whether or not the restriction may be released may be determined for each item. At this time, the specific user who can approve the cancellation may be different for each item. Hereinafter, this mechanism will be described.

  After the program data 6A and the template data 6B of a certain job setting program are stored in the program data storage unit 121, the seal imprint data acquisition unit 104 displays the registration button 5C1 on the seal imprint acceptance screen 5C (see FIG. 9). A restriction selection screen 5M such as 22 is displayed on the touch panel display 10e.

  Here, the administrator selects an item for which the restriction may be released when using the job setting program by checking the corresponding check box. For example, if the restriction on the output surface may be released, check the check box 5M4. Then, the registration button 5M5 is pressed.

  In addition, the administrator prepares in advance a sheet on which the imprint 7C for each specific user who approves the cancellation is written for each item that may be canceled. For example, when registering the four items of the document surface, the aggregate printing, the print color, and the output surface as the items that can be released, the seal imprint 7C of the specific user is written in a predetermined order as shown in FIG. Prepare the required paper. Then, this paper is set in the scan unit 10i before the registration button 5M5 is pressed.

  The seal imprint data acquisition unit 104 causes the scan unit 10i to read an image from the sheet and extracts the seal imprint 7C from the image. As a result, the seal image data 6C of the seal image 7C is obtained. In the case of the example in FIG. 23, four seal imprints 7C are extracted and four seal imprint image data 6C are obtained.

  Then, the seal imprint data acquisition unit 104 stores the seal imprint image data 6C in the program data storage unit 121 in association with each item.

  When using this job setting program, the logged-in user is asked to press the stamp of the specific user who can approve the cancellation of the item for which the restriction is imposed on the paper. For example, when restrictions are imposed on the aggregate print and the print color, as shown in FIG. 24, a stamp of a specific user who can approve the cancellation of the restriction of each of the two items is pressed.

  Then, the logged-in user sets this sheet on the scan unit 10i and inputs a program call command to the image processing apparatus 1.

  Then, each unit of the image processing apparatus 1 executes the process according to the procedure described in FIGS. 13 and 15. However, the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 executes the process shown in FIG. 25 instead of the process of steps # 848 to # 850 of FIG.

  The approval / non-approval determination unit 135 pays attention to the first item for which the setting value is set by this job setting program (# 891 in FIG. 25). Hereinafter, the item of interest will be referred to as “attention item”.

  The approval / non-approval determining unit 135 checks whether or not the logged-in user is restricted for the attention item based on the logged-in user restriction data 6D (see FIG. 11) (# 892).

  When the restriction is imposed (Yes in # 893), the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 calls the seal image data 6C of the attention item (# 894), the seal image 7C indicated in the seal image data 6C, and the sheet. By comparing with the image read by the document image data acquisition unit 136, it is determined whether or not the specific user has approved (# 895).

  When no restriction is imposed (No in # 893), the processes of steps # 894 to # 896 are skipped.

  If not approved (No in # 896), this job is canceled (# 856 in FIG. 15).

  If it is approved (Yes in # 896), if there is an item that has not been noted (Yes in # 897), the approval / non-approval determination unit 135 focuses on the next item (# 898) and a new item of interest. For, the processing of steps # 892 to # 896 is performed.

  Then, if there is no item that is not noted (No in # 897), the process proceeds to step # 851 in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, all the functions shown in FIG. 3 are realized by the image processing apparatus 1, but some functions may be realized by another apparatus. For example, the program data storage unit 121 and the restriction data storage unit 122 may be realized by the terminal device 2B. In this case, the image processing device 1 may appropriately download each data from the terminal device 2B and use it.

  In the present embodiment, the program data 6A mainly shows the setting values of the items used in the job setting program, but the processing procedure may be shown in some cases. In this case, the execution may be appropriately restricted for each step.

  In addition, the configurations of the image processing system 4 and the image processing apparatus 1 as a whole or each unit, the processing contents, the processing order, the data configuration, the screen configuration, and the like can be appropriately changed in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
