Confirming the user's recognition through the user recognition unit after completion of the output operation of the document, and changing the image forming apparatus from the normal mode to the standby mode if the user is not recognized in the confirmation of the user's recognition A user recognizes the user when accessing the image forming apparatus connected through a network, and when the image forming apparatus is in a standby state, changes to a normal mode and executes the corresponding function It is possible to reduce the waiting time in front of the image forming apparatus, thereby improving convenience for the user.

Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION [0002] METHOD FOR USER RECOGNITION IN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS [0003]

The present invention relates to a method of recognizing a user of an image forming apparatus using a location based service.

Generally, the image forming apparatus includes functions such as copying, printing, faxing, or scanning of documents and box functions. Such a device having a complex function is called a multi function printer (MFP). In other words, the multifunction apparatus has not only a function as a printer for printing data inputted from a host computer but also a function as a scanner for scanning an image document, a digital copy function for printing and copying an image document to be scanned and input, And a facsimile function for transmitting the document to a remote site.

In many cases, the image forming apparatus is configured in an office environment that can be shared and used by a plurality of users through a wired / wireless network. For security in operation in the above-mentioned office environment, a user's recognition is required, and most of them use a user recognition method using an ID card and a card reader. Depending on the importance of security management, there are also some office environments where fingerprint recognition and iris recognition are applied. However, the above-described methods require a process in which the user accesses the image forming apparatus and directly recognizes the image forming apparatus.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of automatically recognizing a user who approaches within a predetermined distance using a location-based service technique for recognizing a user of the image forming apparatus, .

 According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image forming apparatus having a composite function, including: a user recognition unit for recognizing a user having an identification device having a transmission function approaching within a predetermined distance through a user recognition unit using a location- Checking whether the recognized user is a registered user, changing a normal mode in which the image forming apparatus is operable when the registered user is confirmed, and confirming the type of the registered user And outputting a document when the job type is a job of outputting a document in a user terminal interlocked with user information,

Confirming the user's recognition through the user recognition unit after completion of the output operation of the document, and changing the image forming apparatus from the normal mode to the standby mode if the user is not recognized in the confirmation of the user's recognition And a user recognition method of the image forming apparatus.

When the user recognition apparatus and method of the image forming apparatus according to the present invention is used. When the user accesses the image forming apparatus connected through the network, the user is automatically recognized. When the image forming apparatus is in the standby state, the normal mode is changed to execute the corresponding function, thereby reducing the waiting time in front of the image forming apparatus. There is an effect to be improved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a method of recognizing a user of an image forming apparatus according to the present invention; FIG.
2 is a flowchart of a user recognition method of an image forming apparatus according to the present invention.
Fig.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by similar reference numerals throughout the specification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a schematic block diagram of a user recognition method of an image forming apparatus according to the present invention.

The image forming apparatus 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a memory unit, a scanning unit, a power unit, an output unit, a display panel unit, a fax unit, and a central control unit for controlling the respective units. And a user recognition unit having a transmitting / receiving function used. The location-based technology refers to a location-based system and service that utilizes wireless communication network and IT technology in a comprehensive manner, and includes low-power Bluetooth (beacon) technology. The present invention detects an approach of a user having an identification device 300 having a beacon transmission function and changes the image forming apparatus 400 to a normal usable mode and communicates with the user terminal 100, as well as performing operations such as copying, scanning, and fax transmission / reception. When the user having the identification device 300 moves away from the image forming apparatus 400 including the user recognition unit after the completion of the above operation, the copying machine is automatically changed to the standby state.

2 is a flowchart of a user recognition method of an image forming apparatus according to the present invention.

A step S201 of recognizing a user having an identification device having a dispatch function approaching within a certain distance through a user recognition unit using a location-based service technique, and a step S220 of checking whether the recognized user is a registered user, And a step S230 of changing to a normal mode in which the operation of the image forming apparatus is allowed when the registered user is confirmed

(S240) of checking the job type of the registered user, a step S250 of outputting a document when the job type is a job of outputting a document in a user terminal linked with user information (S250) (S270) of confirming the user's recognition through the post-user recognition unit and a step S280 of changing the image forming apparatus from the normal mode to the standby mode if the user is not recognized in the step of confirming the recognition of the user And a user recognition method of the image forming apparatus.

A step S260 of performing the job when the job type of the registered user is copy, scan, or fax job, a step S260 of confirming the user's recognition through the user recognition unit after completing the copy and scan job, (S280) of changing the image forming apparatus from the normal mode to the standby mode if the user is not recognized in the step of confirming the recognition of the image forming apparatus.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood that the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein. Therefore, modifications of the embodiments of the present invention will not depart from the scope of the present invention.
