INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DETERMINING RISK OF INFORMATION LEAKAGE IN PRINT JOB, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18598968 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DETERMINING RISK OF INFORMATION LEAKAGE IN PRINT JOB, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that assesses the risk of confidential information leakage in a print job by detecting confidential information, evaluating the risk level of each job attribute, weighting the risk levels, and determining the overall risk of information leakage in the print job.
- The apparatus includes at least one memory for storing instructions and at least one processor for executing the instructions.
- It detects confidential information from print data, acquires the risk level of each job attribute, and performs a weighting process for the risk level of each attribute.
- By using the detected confidential information and the weight assigned to each job attribute, it determines the risk of information leakage in the print job.
- Based on the weighted risk levels of each job attribute, the apparatus restricts printing of the job if there is a high risk of confidential information leakage.
Potential Applications: - Data security in printing environments - Compliance with privacy regulations - Protection of sensitive information in corporate settings

Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus that determines a risk of confidential information leakage in a print job, the information processing apparatus includes at least one memory that stores instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions to detect confidential information from print data acquired from the print job, acquire a risk level of each job attribute of the print job, execute a weighting process for the risk level of each job attribute, using the detected confidential information and information of weight for the job attribute set for each confidential information, determine the risk of confidential information leakage for the print job, using the weighting-processed risk level of each job attribute, and restrict printing of the print job according to a result of the determination of the risk of confidential information leakage.
