Abstract
In a case where a plurality of users are made correspondent to one IC card, user changeover is performed without a logout process. When the IC card is passed over a card reader while a user is logging in, it is judged whether or not the passed card is the IC card used in a login process of the user who is logging in. If NO, a logout process of the user who is logging in is performed, and a user login process using the newly passed IC card is performed. On the other hand, if YES, it is further judged whether or not the plurality of users are made correspondent to the passed IC card. If YES, selection of the user who intends to newly log in is accepted.
Claims7
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one central processing unit configured to function as an obtaining unit that obtains a first identification information from a first integrated circuit card;
- a storage unit that stores the first identification information obtained by the obtaining unit;
- a displaying unit that displays, in a case where the first identification information obtained by the obtaining unit corresponds to plural items of user information,
- a selection screen for selecting one of the plural items of user information;
- an accepting unit that accepts selection of user information from among the plural items of user information on the selection screen;
- a login unit that executes a login using the user information selected on the selection screen;
- a determination unit that determines, in a case where the obtaining unit obtains a second identification information from the first integrated circuit card or from a second integrated circuit card during the login using the user information selected on the selection screen, whether or not the second identification information obtained by the obtaining unit matches the first identification information stored in the storage unit;
- a controlling unit that causes the displaying unit to display again the selection screen for selecting one of the plural items of user information, in a case where the determination unit determines that the second identification information obtained by the obtaining unit matches the first identification information stored in the storage unit;
- and
- a logout unit that executes a logout using user information,
- wherein
- in a case where different user information is selected on the selection screen when it is again displayed by the displaying unit, the logout unit executes the logout using the user information selected when the selection screen was displayed for the first identification information,
- the login unit executes a login using the different user information, and the first identification information includes identification information to identify the first integrated circuit card and the second identification information includes identification information to identify the integrated circuit card on which the second identification information is stored.

A controlling method of an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- obtaining a first identification information from a first integrated circuit card;
- storing the obtained first identification information in a storage unit;
- displaying, in a case where the obtained first identification information corresponds to plural items of user information, a selection screen for selecting one of the plural items of user information, on a displaying unit;
- accepting selection of user information from among the plural items of user information on the selection screen;
- executing a login using the user information selected on the selection screen;
- determining, in a case where a second identification information is obtained from the first integrated circuit card or from a second integrated circuit card during the login using the user information selected on the selection screen, whether or not the obtained second identification information matches the first identification information ID stored in the storage unit;
- controlling the displaying unit to again display the selection screen for selecting one of the plural items of user information, in a case where it is determined that the obtained second identification information matches the first identification information stored in the storage unit;
- and
- executing a logout using user information,
- wherein
- in a case where different user information is selected on the selection screen when it is again displayed by the displaying unit, the logout step executes the logout using the user information selected when the selection screen was displayed for the first identification information,
- the login step executes a login using the different user information, and the first identification information includes identification information to identify the first integrated circuit card and the second identification information includes identification information to identify the integrated circuit card on which the second identification information is stored.
