Abstract
An image processing apparatus that communicates with a server via a network, the image processing apparatuses being configured to use one or more application functions, the image processing apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store an audit log and the one or more application functions in association with each other, a designation unit configured to designate the one or more application functions as an application function for which acquisition of a log by the server is allowed, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the audit log associated with the one or more application functions designated by the designation unit to the server.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus that communicates with a server via a network and is configured to use one or more application functions, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a controller having one or more processors which implement instructions stored in at least one memory, the controller configured to function as:
- a storage unit configured to store a log in association with the one or more application functions;
- a designation unit configured to designate the one or more application functions as an application function for which acquisition of a log by the server is allowed;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to not transmit a log associated with the one or more application functions that are not designated by the designation unit, to the server, and to transmit a log associated with the one or more application functions designated by the designation unit to the server.
A server that communicates with an image processing apparatus via a network, the image processing apparatus being configured to use one or more application functions, the server comprising:
- an instruction reception unit configured to receive an instruction for acquiring a log of an operating user of the image processing apparatus from a user, the operating user being designated as an audit target in the instruction;
- and
- a log reception unit configured to receive, from an image processing apparatus including a user authentication function, a log associated with identification information about the operating user, and to receive, from an image processing apparatus not including the user authentication function, a log associated with a certain application function.
A control method of an image processing apparatus that communicates with a server via a network, the image processing apparatus being configured to use one or more application functions, the control method comprising:
- storing a log in association with the one or more application functions;
- designating the one or more application functions as an application function for which acquisition of a log by the server is allowed;
- and
- transmitting a log associated with the designated one or more application functions to the server.
A control method of a server that communicates with an image processing apparatus via a network, the image processing apparatuses being configured to use one or more application functions, the control method comprising:
- receiving an instruction from a user, the instruction being for acquiring a log of an operating user of the image processing apparatus, the operating user being designated as an audit target in the instruction;
- and
- receiving, from an image processing apparatus including a user authentication function, a log associated with identification information about the operating user, and receiving, from an image processing apparatus not including the user authentication function, a log associated with a certain application function.
