IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18490661 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The image forming apparatus described in the patent application is designed to authenticate a user and execute a stored job associated with that user without requiring any input from the user. This is done based on the success of the authentication process.

  • The apparatus includes one or more memories and processors that receive a job execution request from an information processing terminal.
  • If the authentication process using user information in the request is successful, the apparatus will execute the stored job without needing any instruction from the user.
  • This prevents the execution function from being carried out unnecessarily.

---

      1. Potential Applications
  • This technology can be used in office environments where multiple users have stored jobs on a shared printer.
  • It can also be applied in secure printing environments where authentication is required before printing sensitive documents.
      1. Problems Solved
  • Eliminates the need for users to manually authenticate and execute their stored jobs, saving time and effort.
  • Prevents unauthorized access to stored jobs by ensuring successful authentication before execution.
      1. Benefits
  • Streamlines the printing process by automating job execution based on successful authentication.
  • Enhances security by requiring authentication before executing stored jobs, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image forming apparatus configured to include an execution function of performing authentication processing on a user and executing a stored job, which is stored in a storage device in association with the user, based on a success of the authentication processing without an instruction from the user includes one or more memories, and one or more processors that execute a set of instructions to receive a job execution request to execute a job different from the stored job from an information processing terminal, and in a case where the job execution request is received and the authentication processing using user information included in the job execution request is successful, control execution of the execution function of executing the stored job without the instruction from the user to prevent the execution function from being executed.
