Abstract
The storage section of the multifunction peripheral stores location information containing a storage location of software which transmits a control command whose execution is permissible. The execution permission judging section of the multifunction peripheral includes (I) a storage location detecting section which detects a storage location of software which has participated in a transmission of a received control command and (II) a command permitting/prohibiting section which (i) prohibits execution of the received control command when a storage location indicated by the location information is not detected by the storage location detecting section but (ii) permits execution of the received control command when the storage location is detected by the storage location detecting section.
Claims6
A multifunction peripheral comprising:
- an execution permission judging section which judges whether or not to permit execution of a control command received from software;
- and
- a storage section which stores at least one piece of location information each indicative of a storage location of software which transmits a control command whose execution is permissible,
- the execution permission judging section including:
- a storage location detecting section which detects a storage location of the software which has participated in the transmission of the control command received,
- a judgment section which judges whether or not the storage location indicated by the location information is detected by the storage location detecting section, and
- a command permitting/prohibiting section,
- in a case where the judgment section determines that the storage location indicated by the location information is not detected by the storage location detecting section, the command permitting/prohibiting section prohibiting execution of the control command received, or
- in a case where the judgment section determines that the storage location indicated by the location information is detected by the storage location detecting section, the command permitting/prohibiting section permitting execution of the control command received.
A multifunction peripheral control system comparing:
- a multifunction peripheral;
- and
- an information processing device which communicate with the multifunction peripheral via a communication network,
- the information processing device including:
- a software storage section which stores software for generating a control command for controlling the multifunction peripheral, and
- a command generating section for generating the control command with use of the software and transmitting the control command to the multifunction peripheral,
- the multifunction peripheral including:
- an execution permission judging section which, upon receipt of the control command, judges whether or not to permit execution of the control command, and
- a location information storage section which stores at least one piece of location information each indicative of a storage location of software which transmits a control command whose execution is permissible,
- the execution permission judging section including:
- a storage location detecting section which detects a storage location of the software which has participated in the transmission of the control command received,
- a judgment section which judges whether or not the storage location indicated by the location information is detected by the storage location detecting section, and
- a command permitting/prohibiting section,
- in a case where the judgment section determines that the storage location indicated by the location information is not detected by the storage location detecting section, the command permitting/prohibiting section prohibiting execution of the control command received, or
- in a case where the judgment section determines that the storage location indicated by the location information is detected by the storage location detecting section, the command permitting/prohibiting section permitting execution of the control command received.
