IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

In an image processing apparatus that is in a logged-on state, if a user detection sensor unit changes from a detecting to a non-detecting state, the image processing apparatus retains its current state while displaying a re-authentication screen. The re-authentication screen prohibits operations other than authentication while requesting user authentication. If a currently logged-on user is authenticated, the image processing apparatus returns to its retained state.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect a human body; an authentication unit configured to authenticate a user; and a control unit configured to shift to a state in which the user authenticated by the authentication unit is logged on the image processing apparatus, and to receive an operation from an operation unit, wherein, in a logged-on state, if a detecting state of the detection unit has been changed from a detecting state to a non-detecting state, the control unit retains a state of the image processing apparatus and requests authentication by the authentication unit, and if a currently logged-on user is authenticated in response to the authentication request, the control unit returns the image processing apparatus to the retained state.
