  • Publication number: 20190182400
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a CPU and a camera. In the image forming apparatus, the camera takes a facial image of a user approaching the image forming apparatus, and on the basis of the facial image, face authentication is executed. Further, in a case where it has been determined as a result of the face authentication that the user approaching the image forming apparatus is a registered user, it is determined whether there is registered job data registered by the registered user. The image forming apparatus is switched from a power-saving mode to a normal mode in a case where it has been determined that there is registered job data of the user approaching the image forming apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10297039
    Abstract: With a recognition device of the present invention, when a target component that is an imaging target is moved in a direction from one to another of an upper limit imaging position and a lower limit imaging position, a protruding section of the target component is imaged at each of a predetermined pitch (0.1 mm). Then, it is determined whether it is possible to recognize the position of the protruding section of the target component based on image data of each pitch (O: recognition possible, X: recognition not possible). Here, from among imaging positions (H4 to H10) according to image data for which it was determined to be possible to recognize the position of the protruding section of the target component, a position (H7) that is at a central point between a position closest to the upper limit imaging position (H4) and a position closest to the lower limit imaging position (H10) is decided as a recommended imaging position.
