20080247794 | IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, PROGRAM FOR ACHIEVING CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM - An image forming device comprises: an image forming unit adapted to execute image formation on a recording medium; and a writing unit adapted to be able to execute at least an information writing operation in a non-contact manner to a non-contact IC added to the recording medium. It is controlled whether or not the image forming unit should execute the image formation on the recording medium, according to a result of the information writing operation executed by the writing unit to the non-contact IC added to the recording medium. | 10-09-2008 |
20080263655 | INFORMATION-PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION-PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention can control a logout procedure of each user according to an operation state and provides an information-processing apparatus with enhanced security and excellent usability. A method for controlling an information-processing apparatus capable of maintaining a state in which a plurality of users has been logged in to the information-processing apparatus comprises causing a display unit to switch an operation screen for a user who currently logs in to the information-processing apparatus between an active state and an inactive state where the user can or cannot operate the screen respectively; automatically logging out the user of the information-processing apparatus when a predetermined time has elapsed; and controlling so as not to automatically log out a user whose operation screen is in the inactive state of the information-processing apparatus when the predetermined time has elapsed. | 10-23-2008 |
20090199280 | AUTHENTICATION SERVER, AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE METHOD - An authentication server, on receipt of a request to delete a user account, determines whether the account exists in a user authentication table. If the account exists, the authentication server deletes the account, and retrieves, from a requesters list in which information of devices from which users have to date requested user authentication is saved, an address of a device from which the user targeted for deletion has previously issued an authentication request, and issues a deletion request to that device together with account information. Similar processing to change a user account is performed in response to a change request. | 08-06-2009 |
20100079800 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND PROGRAM - The execution of an image processing job is limited using a printing amount by an image processing job that has already been executed and a printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by an image processing job that has already been transmitted but not yet executed. To accomplish this, a multi-function peripheral manages a first printing amount that has already been printed by a executed print job and a second printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by a print job that has been transmitted from the multi-function peripheral to a printer and that has not yet been executed in association with a user ID, and determines, before transmitting the print job, whether or not the total of a third printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by the print job, the first printing amount and the second printing amount exceeds an upper limit amount. | 04-01-2010 |
20130208319 | IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND PROGRAM - The execution of an image processing job is limited using a printing amount by an image processing job that has already been executed and a printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by an image processing job that has already been transmitted but not yet executed. To accomplish this, a multi-function peripheral manages a first printing amount that has already been printed by a executed print job and a second printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by a print job that has been transmitted from the multi-function peripheral to a printer and that has not yet been executed in association with a user ID, and determines, before transmitting the print job, whether or not the total of a third printing amount that is scheduled to be printed by the print job, the first printing amount and the second printing amount exceeds an upper limit amount. | 08-15-2013 |
20140368872 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND PROGRAM - The image processing apparatus has a timer transmission function to execute a transmission job for transmitting image data to another apparatus at a designated transmission time of day. The image processing apparatus comprises a setting unit configured to set a restraint period of time indicating a period of time that the execution of the transmission job has to be restrained based on charge information for respective periods of time including unit prices of electricity charges for respective periods of time; and a reservation unit configured to present the restraint period of time, accept the designation of the transmission time of day, and store the designated transmission time of day as reservation information in a storage unit; and a notifying unit configured to perform notification to a user in a case where the designated transmission time of day is included in the restraint period of time. | 12-18-2014 |
20150105897 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS - A sheet processing apparatus includes, a punch unit configured to perform punching processing on a sheet conveyed from one of a plurality of sheet storing units capable of storing a sheet or a pre-punched sheet, an input unit configured to input a number of holes punched in the pre-punched sheet stored in one of the sheet storing units, an acquisition unit configured to acquire a number of holes that can be punched by the punch unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether the input number of holes coincides with the acquired number of holes that can be punched, and a control unit configured to display a predetermined warning in a case where the determination unit determines that the input number of holes does not coincide with the acquired number of holes that can be punched. | 04-16-2015 |
20150130124 | FEEDING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM - A presence/absence of paper on first and second stacking units, which are each capable of stacking a predetermined size of paper, is detected by first and second detection units. And in a case where a determination is performed as to whether or not paper of a size larger than the predetermined size is stacked astride the first and second stacking units and it is determined that a large size paper is stacked, a paper remaining amount is displayed based on the detection of either the first or second detection unit, and in a case where it is determined that a large size paper is not stacked, paper remaining amounts are displayed based on the detection of the first and second detection units respectively. | 05-14-2015 |
