Abstract: A data processing apparatus is constructed by an input device for inputting an instruction for causing a job processor to perform a job, an analyzing unit for analyzing the instruction inputted by the input device, a discriminating unit for discriminating a processing ability of the job processor which performs the job based on the instruction inputted by the input device, and a controller for controlling a supply of the instruction inputted by the input device to the job processor in accordance with a result of the analysis by the analyzing unit and a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit. The job processor performs a job to transmit input data to another apparatus, and the input device inputs an instruction including a designation of destinations to transmit data by the job processor.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an operating unit comprising a user interface configured to receive an operation from a user who has logged-in to the image processing apparatus, a job execution unit configured to execute a job based on the received operation, a determination unit configured to determine whether the job requires an instruction via the operating unit after detecting a logout event, and a control unit configured to, when the job is determined to require the instruction via the operation unit after the logout event has been detected, prevent a user's instruction-waiting state from occurring after the user has logged-out, and when the job is determined to not require the instruction via the operation unit after the logout event has been detected, allow the job to continue under execution after the user has logged-out. At least part of the control unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus registers permission or prohibition of RETRANSMISSION/REPRINT in a reception rule registration unit for each reception condition, determines whether RETRANSMISSION/REPRINT is permitted based on a reception method that the image processing apparatus uses to receive an electronic document from an external apparatus, and retransmits/reprints the electronic document from a reception history based on the result of the determination.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprising, a detector unit configured to detect an event that a user logged in to the image processing apparatus logs out, an query unit configured to be operable when said detector unit detects the event, to query the user whether or not to change a setting of a job under execution, and a control unit configured to be operable when the setting of the job is to be changed as a result of the query made by said query unit, to change the setting of the job and then perform a logout, and, when the setting of the job is not to be changed as a result of the query made by said query unit, to restrict the logout.

Abstract: An information processor is provided, for preventing an illegal operation from being caused by configuration information set in the information processor being updated, even if the information processor receives configuration information from outside during execution of a job. The information processor makes it possible to know and externally confirm that update has not been performed, and updates the configuration information as soon as possible after the job ends. If configuration information is input from an external device, the information processor included in, for example, a multi-function peripheral determines whether the information processor is executing a job. If it is determined that the information processor is not executing a job, then the received configuration information is recorded and the configuration information is updated. If it is determined that the information processor is executing a job, then the receiving operation is terminated.

Abstract: A print system which are capable of inhibiting simultaneous use of the encrypted print and the box storage to thereby increase the security of print data. A host computer has an encryption function of encrypting print data, and issues a print job for the print data encrypted by the encryption function. A print server receives the issued print job, and has a decryption function of decrypting the encrypted print data of the received print job. A printer has a storage function of storing the print data decrypted by the decryption function, and outputs the stored print data. At least one of the host computer and the print server inhibits simultaneous use of the encryption function and the storage function.

Abstract: In an access rights managing system, an application that can set access rights is limited, and if an information apparatus that the user uses does not install any specific application, the system cannot set desired access rights in a digital document. To solve this problem, data is received externally, and first identification information associated with access rights control is extracted from a predetermined position of the received data. Second identification information corresponding to the first identification information is obtained, and is appended to the received data. The received data is then stored in a memory.
