Abstract

When a preset time period for moving into an energy saving mode has passed, this device moves into the energy saving mode for saving power consumption and at the same time a security mode for disabling a normal operation. In the security mode, the device carries out a background process in relation to each function, starts a process of canceling the security mode when receiving some input, and displays a password input screen to be in the input waiting state of a password. When the input waiting state of the password is left and a preset time period for moving into the security mode again which is shorter than the time period for moving into the energy saving mode has passed, the device returns to be in the operating condition in the energy saving mode and the security mode as in the time before starting the canceling process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a security management technique for determining the availability of functions in various devices and managing the safety of the functions. Background technique [0002] In various electronic devices such as computers and image forming apparatuses, many have an operation mode for suspending the operation of a certain function due to non-use for a predetermined period of time from the viewpoint of power consumption reduction and information management. A hibernation mode for power saving, a screen saver for screen saving, and the like activated by a general computer are representative examples thereof. In order to restore the functional operation suspended in this operation mode, it may be sufficient to perform an arbitrary operation given a certain input, but authentication based on password input or the like may also be required in some cases. As a trend in recent years, against the background of demands for informatio...
