Publication number: 20190104233Abstract: Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of achieving easy user authentication by icon selection with high security. The image forming apparatus has a user-authenticating function that authenticates login of a user. The image forming apparatus includes a login-image-registering unit and a user-authenticating unit. The login-image-registering unit registers an output image that has been outputted in the past by a user in a storage unit as a login image that is correlated with the user. The user-authenticating unit generates a login screen on which the login image of the user logging in and a plurality of dummy images are arranged in a random order, and displays the login screen on an operation unit. The user-authenticating unit, after receiving a selection operation of the login image, authenticates login of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventor: Toshiya MIYAI

Patent number: 9871944Abstract: An image forming apparatus transmits a database to an external server. The image forming apparatus includes a storage section, a replication section, an encipherment section, a transmission section, a generation section, and an acquisition section. The storage section stores a database therein. The replication section generates a replica of the database stored in the storage section as a replicated database. The encipherment section enciphers the replicated database. The transmission section transmits the enciphered database to the external server each time a predetermined time period elapses. The generation section generates a deciphering key for deciphering the enciphered database. The acquisition section acquires disaster information. Upon the acquisition section acquiring the disaster information, the transmission section transmits the deciphering key to the external server.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.Inventors: Masayoshi Hayama, Masaru Sato, Kazunori Goto, Masaki Kikuchi, Toshiya Miyai
