Abstract

PURPOSE: To secure excellent confidentiality by limiting the use of the function of the facsimile equipment when the characteristic value of hand-written information is dissident with characteristic information registered in advance. CONSTITUTION: The operator gives sequentially a signature similar to a signature registered in advance in hand-writing to a pen input section 1. Then a discrimination processing section 2 discriminates coincidence with characteristic information registered in advance in an internal memory based on entered handwriting information to provide a discrimination result such as coincidence/ dissidence or the like and when the discrimination result is coincident, a user number corresponding to the entered signature is stored tentatively in a work area of a RAM section 12. Whether or not the entered signature is coincident with the characteristic information registered in advance in the internal memory is discriminated. When the entered signature is dissident with the registered characteristic information, a system control section 11 transits to a state that the entry from a key input section 7 is rejected, all control is stopped and the entry of signature of the operator is awaited.
