Patent number: 6792547Abstract: The invention relates to a digital integrated apparatus capable of registering and fetching image data, and has an object to solve various problems resulting from the necessity of the user authentication at the time of using the apparatus. Specifically, it is arranged that, the display-input control means 92a classifies the user authentication under the first user authentication in a specific level and the second user authentication in a lower level than the first one, and then judges based on the initial setting whether the result of the second user authentication is valid or not. The first user authentication is based on the attribute of user's personal information including a user registration card Ku, and the second user authentication is based on the user ID and password inputted from the control panel 92. Therefore, it is possible to limit the fetching by using the other person's user ID and password.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2000Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Murata, Hideyuki Kuwano, Takehito Yamaguchi, Yuji Okada, Naoki Takahashi, Joji Tanaka, Kenji Hisatomi

Publication number: 20040169728Abstract: A system for printing print data that is multiplexed with a television-broadcast signal. By displaying a print button only when printing is possible, it is not possible for the user to determine whether there is no print data itself or there is no printing display because there is no printer. In this system, not only is print data detected, but the printer is also detected. When print data is detected but the printer is not detected, a display indicating that printing of the print data is not possible is performed to notify the user that printing is not possible because there is no printer even though there is print data.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2004Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventors: Hideyuki Kuwano, Kazuyuki Murata, Takehito Yamaguchi, Yuji Okada, Takashi Nakanishi, Kenji Hisatomi, Shigeki Matsunaga
