Data output apparatus, data output system, and data output control method for preventing leakage of personal information

摘要

An image forming apparatus Gk of a data output system includes a data output time calculation function unit that calculates a predicted output time necessary for outputting data to be output in a specified output form by a data output function unit which outputs the data to be output in the specified output form, and a control function unit that compares the predicted output time with a predetermined threshold time and controls displaying of display data, which is stored in a storage function unit, onto a display function unit.

主权项

1. A data output apparatus comprising:
a data output unit configured to output data to be output; an output time calculation unit configured to calculate a predicted output time necessary for outputting the data to be output; a storage unit which stores display data; a display unit configured to perform display output of the display data in the storage unit; an extraction unit configured to extract, from the storage unit, display data not related to personal information of a user based on identification information; and a display control unit configured to compare the predicted output time with a predetermined threshold time and to control displaying of the display data onto the display unit, wherein when the predicted output time is longer than the predetermined threshold time, the display control unit makes the display unit display only the extracted display data when displaying of the display data related to the personal information is confirmed to be not permitted.
