Image processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and storage medium

摘要

This invention provides an image processing apparatus capable of allowing a user to easily confirm the display contents of a bulletin board without reducing operability if the user should confirm a message by the bulletin board function in authentication processing; a method of controlling the same; and a program. To accomplish this, in the image processing apparatus, an authentication processing unit acquires message information from a storage unit. When the message information is acquired, an authentication screen to execute authentication processing is displayed on a display unit together with the message information. If no message information is acquired, the authentication screen to execute authentication processing is displayed on the display unit.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a display unit; a storage unit that stores message information received from an external apparatus; an authentication unit that executes an authentication processing of a user who uses the image processing apparatus; an acquisition unit that acquires the message information from the storage unit; a display control unit that displays, on the display unit, an authentication screen to execute the authentication processing; and a determination unit that determines whether or not the display unit is turned off when the authentication processing is executed by the authentication unit, wherein, when the message information is acquired by the acquisition unit, the display control unit adds the message information to the authentication screen, and displays, on the display unit, the authentication screen to which the message information is added, and wherein, when the authentication processing is executed by the authentication unit and the determination unit has determined that the display unit is turned off, the display control unit (a) turns on the display unit, (b) displays, on the display unit, the message information acquired by the acquisition unit, and (c) displays an operation screen of the image processing apparatus afterwards, and wherein, when authentication processing is executed by the authentication unit and the determination unit has determined that the display unit is not turned off, the display control unit displays, on the display unit, the operation screen of the image processing apparatus.
