Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep firm confidentiality on printing as well as use of a secret document and a file by providing a pass word together with the designation of the classified document. CONSTITUTION:When a document is transmitted from plural work stations 2, the document is inputted through an interface 31 connected to a print system 3. Only the secret document is stored in an external storage device 34. In this case, a work station 2 forming the secret document provides a designated pass word. In reading the secret document, a document identification name and the pass word are inputted from a keyboard 37, a central processing unit 33 reads sequentially the document identification name and the pass word of the secret document stored in the external storage device 34 and collates them. Only when they are coincident, the corresponding secret document is printed out from a printer 35.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to a 7F printing system.1. ? The present invention relates to a secret document printing system in a distributed information processing bag.

Prior Art Conventional 1 For example, when a confidential document, that is, a confidential illiterate document is received by a facsimile machine, the received contents are not recorded on recording paper and are
A method was used in which information was stored on a recording medium that could not be seen by the human eye, and the memorized content was recorded on recording paper only by checking it against a confidential PIN number. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, a facsimile machine has been proposed that has the function of determining the destination code of received documents, sorting them into confidential and non-confidential documents, and folding and sealing confidential documents. (See Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-57 CHIO.) That is, when a facsimile machine 1 receives an ordinary document, the roll recording paper 11 passes through a guide roller 12 and electrostatically absorbs the content received by the recording electrode 13. The image is recorded and cutter 1
4, it passes through the feed roller 15, is developed in the developing device 16, is fixed in the fixing device 17, and then is transferred to the receiver (
The i original is stocked in the stocker 10. When a confidential document is received, the address reading device [18] determines the address code and confidentiality, then the switch 19 switches the path and sends it to the recording paper guide plate 20, where it is folded and folded. , the facsimile machine is sealed and sent to the received document stocker IO along the route indicated by the dotted line to be stocked.However, this facsimile machine requires many additional hardware parts and is expensive (8). .

Traditionally, passwords have been used for computer use, and TSS (Time 5hariB Sys
By entering and memorizing a password when logging in to a site such as tem), the contents of confidential documents were protected by prohibiting them from reading them from now on. However, these protections only relate to usage and file protection, and do not protect against printing. In other words, even if a password is entered, if you enter the alarm queue for printing, it will be output unconditionally in order, and the secret document will be revealed to outsiders when it is printed. There was a risk of being exposed.

Purpose The purpose of the present invention is to improve such conventional drawbacks, and to securely protect the confidentiality not only of use and files but also of printing, so that confidential documents such as those printed out directly by one author can be protected. 6. Configuration for Providing a Printing System The configuration of the present invention will be explained below using examples.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a distributed processing device and a printing system showing an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 2 is a plurality of distributed work stations, 3 is a printing system, 31 is a connection interface, 32 is a main memory, 3:3 is a central processing unit, and 34 is a connection interface.
35 is a printer, 36 is a display, and 37 is a keyboard.

A printing system 3 connected to a plurality of work stations 2 receives general documents and confidential documents created by distributed processing from the work stations 2, and prints them.
Only one copy of the secret document is stored in 'JA Purchase 34. When creating a document at the work station 2, a designated password is added to the confidential document and sent to the printing system 3.

In this case, the person who created the confidential document at the work station 2 or the client (addressee) directly inputs the document identification name and password from the keyboard 37 of the printing system 3. The central processing unit 33 sequentially reads only the document identification name and password of the secret document from the external storage device 34, compares it with the document identification name and password entered from the keyboard 37, and only when they match, reads out the corresponding secret document. is read from the external storage device 6, sent to the printer 35, and printed and output.

Since the printed document is output while the person who inputs the password and document identification name from the keyboard 37 is waiting, the person can directly receive the confidential document and the contents of the document will not be leaked to others.

FIG. 3 is an operation flowchart 1 to 1 of the confidential document printing system 11 in FIG.

After creating the document, the work station 2 specifies that it is a confidential document, separates the passwords, and transfers the passwords to the printing system 3 (steps 21 to 24).

When the printing system 3 receives the document, it stores the confidential document in the external storage device 34 (steps 25 and 26).
. If the key is available, the document identification name and password are input and compared with the document identification name and password 1 read out from the external storage device 34 (steps 27, 28 and 2).
. Only when a match is found, the secret document is read out and printed out.
Wait for key personnel on disagreement (step 29.30)
.

Effects of the Invention As explained in 2, the present invention has the following advantages:
The creator or the requester manually enters the password and prints it out directly, and the password is printed and compared for each print, making it possible to further strengthen confidentiality.
