主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a first memory storing a table, the table including information indicating relationships between a plurality of functions, a plurality of file formats and a plurality of users so as to determine that a particular function is executable with respect to a particular file format but not executable with respect to another file format, the plurality of functions including at least two or more of printing, email and facsimile, and the plurality of file formats includes at least two or more of pdf, tiff and doc; a second memory storing a plurality of files comprising a first file described in a first file format and a second file described in a second file format; a display unit; and a controller configured to:
identify a user;retrieve the first file and the second file from the second memory;determine whether each of the plurality of functions is executable with the first file by reference to the information in the table in accordance with the first file format of the first file and the identified user;determine whether each of the plurality of functions is executable with the second file by reference to the information in the table in accordance with the second file format of the second file and the identified user;display a list of file names of the first file and the second file in a first style on the display unit, the first file name being displayed on the list when a first executable function is determined to be executable with the first file, the first executable function being at least one of the plurality of functions,the second file name being displayed on the list when a second executable function is determined to be executable with the second file, the second executable function being at least one of the plurality of functions;receive a first input of the identified user indicating a particular function, the particular function being one of the plurality of functions;in response to receiving the first input, display, on the display unit, the first file name and the second file name and the executable function when the particular function is identical to the first executable function and the second executable function;receive a second input of the identified user designating the first file to be executed under the particular function;in response to receiving the second input, execute the particular function with the first file;receive a third input of the identified user indicating the first file on the list;in response to receiving the third input, display on the display unit the first file name and the functions executable with the first file;receive a fourth input of the identified user indicating to execute one of the functions executable with the first file;in response to receiving the fourth input, execute the executable function with the first file.
