Image forming apparatus and method for activating scanned data processor based on captured image

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an image capture device that captures a user image and generates a captured image, a document holding determination unit that determines whether or not the user appearing in the captured image holds a document based on the captured image, and a scanned data processor that performs processing including scanning the document. The scanned data processor is activated if the document holding determination unit determines that the user holds the document.

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an image capture device configured to capture an image of a user to generate a captured image; a scanned data processor configured to perform at least a document scanning operation; and circuitry configured to
determine whether or not the captured image shows that the user appearing in the captured image holds a document, andactivate the scanned data processor in response to the determination that the captured image shows that the user holds a document.
