Abstract
There is provided an image processing apparatus comprising: a capturing part configured to sequentially capture a plurality of images; an extracting part configured to extract movement information from the sequentially captured images through an analysis, wherein the movement information relates to movement of a moving object and the sequentially captured images contain images of the moving object; and a first determining part configured to detect an approaching user based on the extracted movement information and approaching movement information, stored in advance, indicating approaching movement of a human.
Claims18
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions to,
- sequentially capture a plurality of images;
- extract movement information from the sequentially captured plurality of images through an analysis, wherein the extracted movement information relates to movement of a moving object and the sequentially captured plurality of images contain images of the moving object;
- detect an approaching user based on the extracted movement information and approaching movement information, the approaching movement information being stored in advance and indicating movement of a user approaching the image processing apparatus;
- and
- perform authentication control of the image processing apparatus for controlling a transition from a user log-out state to a user log-in state in response to detecting the approaching user, performing the authentication control including causing an authentication information input screen to be displayed for prompting the approaching user to input at least one form of authentication information for logging into the image processing apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer processor controlling an image processing apparatus to:
- sequentially capture a plurality of images;
- extract movement information from the sequentially captured plurality of images through an analysis, wherein the extracted movement information relates to movement of a moving object and the sequentially captured plurality of images contain images of the moving object;
- detect an approaching user based on the extracted movement information and approaching movement information, the approaching movement information being stored in advance and indicating movement of a user approaching the image processing apparatus;
- and
- perform authentication control of the image processing apparatus for controlling a transition from a user log-out state to a user log-in state in response to detecting the approaching user, performing the authentication control including causing an authentication information input screen to be displayed for prompting the user to input at least one form of authentication information for logging into the image processing apparatus.
A method of controlling an image processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- sequentially capturing a plurality of images;
- extracting movement information from the sequentially captured plurality of images through an analysis, wherein the extracted movement information relates to movement of a moving object and the sequentially captured plurality of images contain images of the moving object;
- detecting an approaching user based on the extracted movement information and approaching movement information, the approaching movement information being stored in advance and indicating movement of a user approaching the image processing apparatus;
- and
- performing authentication control of the image processing apparatus for controlling a transition from a user log-out state to a user log-in state in response to detecting the approaching user, performing the authentication control including causing an authentication information input screen to be displayed for prompting the user to input at least one form of authentication information for logging into the image processing apparatus.
