Abstract
An information processing apparatus that imposes a restriction on the use of a shared communication apparatus such as a facsimile machine, thereby preventing a person from posing as a different person when transmitting data such as a document. User authentication is performed, and transmission data is transmitted in accordance with the authentication result. Information such as a sender name, which corresponds to the information specifying a user used to perform the user authentication, is added to the transmission data.
Claims23
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- authentication means for performing authentication using information which specifies a user of said information processing apparatus;
- and
- transmitting means for automatically adding sender information which corresponds to the information that specifies a user, which is used in the authentication, to transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- storing means for storing second information corresponding to first information, the first information specifying a user of another information processing apparatus;
- receiving means for receiving the first information and transmission data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus;
- and
- transmitting means for adding the second information corresponding to the first information received by said receiving means to the transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- determining means for determining whether a user of said information processing apparatus is authorized to transmit data using a communication apparatus connected to said information processing apparatus;
- and
- transmitting means for transmitting the data, which is to be transmitted from said communication apparatus, to said communication apparatus in accordance with the determination by said determining means.
A control method for an information processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- performing authentication using information which specifies a user of said information processing apparatus;
- and
- automatically adding sender information corresponding to the information specifying the user, which is used in the authentication, to transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
A control method for an information processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- storing second information corresponding to first information, the first information specifying a user of another information processing apparatus;
- and
- adding, when the first information and transmission data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus are received, the second information corresponding to the received first information to the transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
A control method for an information processing apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- determining whether a user of said information processing apparatus is authorized to transmit data using a communication apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;
- and
- transmitting the data, which is to be transmitted from the communication apparatus, to the communication apparatus in accordance with the determination obtained in said determining step.
A computer-readable program for controlling an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an authentication step of performing authentication using information which specifies a user of said information processing apparatus;
- and
- a transmitting step of automatically adding sender information corresponding to the information specifying the user of the information processing apparatus, which is used in the authentication, to transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
A computer-readable program for controlling an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a storing step of storing second information corresponding to first information, the first information specifying a user of another information processing apparatus;
- a receiving step of receiving the first information and transmission data transmitted from the other information processing apparatus;
- and
- a transmitting step of adding the second information corresponding to the first information received in said receiving step to the transmission data and transmitting the transmission data.
A computer-readable program for controlling an information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a determining step of determining whether a user of said information processing apparatus is authorized to transmit data using a communication apparatus connected to said information processing apparatus;
- and
- a transmitting step of transmitting the data, which is to be transmitted from said communication apparatus, to said communication apparatus in accordance with the determination obtained in said determining step.
