Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the device disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. 2003-345760 needs to be provided separately from a barcode reader for reading barcodes
Also, in the case where the number of barcodes to be read is large, the order of reading barcodes becomes complicated, and the burden on the user increases
In the case of a small number of barcodes, the device is still problematic because of the danger that a third party may read the barcode by trial or error and be certified
[0006] Also, although the device disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application No. H11-27444 can read or print documents at high speed, a user interface such as a touch panel must be used for user authentication, function setting of the device, etc.

Embodiment approach 1

[0115] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings showing embodiments thereof. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, numeral 1 denotes an image reading device such as a scanner. The image reading apparatus 1 has a control section 10 including a CPU that performs various calculations, a built-in memory, and the like. Communication section 11, image input section (OC) 12, document reading section (ADF) 13, pattern recognition section 14, storage section 15, authentication section 16, setting section 17, restriction removal section 18, user interface section are connected via an internal bus. 19, etc. are connected to the control section 10, and the control section 10 controls the operations of these hardware sections.

[0116] An image forming apparatus 2 such as a printer and a personal computer (PC) ...

Embodiment approach 2

[0202] Embodiment 1 described above is configured such that processing for judging whether a combination of a plurality of patterns coincides with combination information is executed within the image reading apparatus 1 . However, there may also be a configuration in which the user's authentication information, setting information for function setting, restriction removal information for function restriction removal, etc. are controlled within the server, and the image reading apparatus 1 executes recognition processing, Setting up processing and restricting removal of processing while gaining access to the server.

[0203] FIG. 31 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an image processing system having the image reading apparatus 1 according to the present invention. The image processing system includes an image reading device 1 and a server 6 connected to the image reading device 1 via a communication line 4 . Also, a personal computer (PC) 3 operating as a user's ...

Embodiment approach 3

[0211] In Embodiment 1 described above, the image reading device 1 and the image forming device 2 are configured as two different devices. However, the image reading device 1 and the image forming device 2 may be integrated. For example, an image reading device and an image forming device according to the present invention can be integrated into a configuration applied to a digital multifunction device.

[0212] FIG. 32 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the digital multifunction device 7 of Embodiment 3. As shown in FIG. The digital multifunction device 7 has a control section 70 including a CPU that performs various calculations, a built-in memory, and the like. Via the internal bus, the communication section 71, image input section 72, document reading section 73, pattern recognition section 74, image forming section 75, storage section 76, authentication section 77, setting section 78, restriction removal section 79, user interface section 80 is con...

Abstract

An image reading apparatus, which has reading means for reading images recorded on sheets and carries out predetermined processing for the images read using the reading means, comprising first extracting means for extracting a plurality of predetermined patterns from the images read using the reading means, second extracting means for extracting the combination information regarding the combination of the patterns from the images read using the reading means, and judging means for judging whether the combination of a plurality of the patterns extracted using the first extracting means coincides with the combination information extracted using the second extracting means or not, the predetermined processing being carried out on the basis of the result of the judgment made using the judging means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image reading device capable of user authentication, function setting of the device, and removal of restrictions on the function of the device using the front and back sides of a sheet or using a combination of a plurality of sheets , relates to an image processing system having an image reading device, relates to an image forming device capable of generating paper for the image reading device and the image processing system, and relates to an image reading method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a user interface such as a touch panel has been increasingly used for user authentication. For example, user authentication is performed in the following cases: data read using an image reading device such as a scanner is printed using an image forming device such as a printer or a digital multifunction device; The read data is stored in a printer or the hard disk drive of a digital multifunction device, and ...
