Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors and the one or more memories are configured to register a plurality of character string lists, select a character string list from the plurality of character string lists based on an attribute of a job, perform a comparison process for comparing text information extracted from the job and at least one of the character strings in the selected character string list, and control execution of the job based on a comparison result of the comparison process.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus having a print function for printing an image of image data on a sheet and a transmission function for transmitting image data generated by scanning a document, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors and the one or more memories are configured to:
- register a plurality of character string lists including a first character string list composed of respective one or more character strings and a second character string list composed of respective one or more character strings and different in at least one character string from the first character string list;
- receive a job;
- determine that the received job is a print job or a transmission job;
- perform, in a case where it is determined that the received job is the print job, a comparison process for comparing text information extracted from first image data instructed, in the print job, to be printed by the print function and the one or more character strings in the first character string list;
- prohibit to print an image of the first image data using the print function in a case where the text information extracted from the first image data includes at least one of the one or more character strings in the first character string list;
- perform, in a case where it is determined that the received job is the transmission job, a comparison process for comparing text information extracted from second image data instructed, in the transmission job, to be transmitted by the transmission function and the one or more character strings in the second character string list;
- and
- prohibit to transmit the second image data using the transmission function in a case where the text information extracted from the second image data includes at least one of the one or more character strings in the second character string list.
A control method for controlling an image processing apparatus having a print function for printing an image of image data on a sheet and a transmission function for transmitting image data generated by scanning a document, the control method comprising:
- registering a plurality of character string lists including a first character string list composed of respective one or more character strings and a second character string list composed of respective one or more character strings and different in at least one character string from the first character string list;
- receiving a job;
- determining that the received job is a print job or a transmission job;
- performing, in a case where it is determined that the received job is the print job a comparison process for comparing text information extracted from first image data instructed, in the print job, to be printed by the print function and the one or more character strings in the first character string list;
- prohibiting to print an image of the first image data using the print function in a case where the text information extracted from the first image data includes at least one of the one or more character strings in the first character string list;
- performing, in a case where it is determined that the received job is the transmission job, a comparison process for comparing text information extracted from second image data instructed, in the transmission job, to be transmitted by the transmission function and the one or more character strings in the second character string list;
- prohibiting to transmit the second image data using the transmission function in a case where the text information extracted from the second image data includes at least one of the one or more character strings in the second character string list.
