Image Processing Apparatus, Image Processing Method, And Recording Medium
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an input portion that inputs image data of a plurality of pages of document;
a password detector that detects a password given to each of the pages;
a password judger that judges from the detecting results drew by the password detector whether or not different passwords are detected from each of the pages;
a correlation judger that judges about each of the pages if the password judger judges that different passwords are detected from each of the pages, whether or not the passwords are correlated to each other; and
an output permitting portion that permits the image data of all the pages, which are the image data inputted by the input portion, to be outputted without requesting entry of all passwords, if it is judged about each of the pages that the passwords are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requests entry of a password about each of the pages if it is judged about at least one of the pages that the passwords are not correlated to each other, then permits the image data of a certain page to be outputted, if an appropriate password is entered about that page.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprising: an input portion that inputs image data of a plurality of pages of document; a password detector that detects a password given to each of the pages; a password judger that judges from the detecting results drew by the password detector whether or not different passwords are detected from each of the pages; a correlation judger that judges about each of the pages if the password judger judges that different passwords are detected from each of the pages, whether or not the passwords are correlated to each other; and an output permitting portion that permits the image data of all the pages, which are the image data inputted by the input portion, to be outputted without requesting entry of all passwords, if it is judged about each of the pages that the passwords are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requests entry of a password about each of the pages if it is judged about at least one of the pages that the passwords are not correlated to each other, then permits the image data of a certain page to be outputted, if an appropriate password is entered about that page.

4. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a first password detector that detects a first password from a medium having the first password given thereto;
a document transfer device;
an image reader that reads an image on a document transferred by the transfer device;
a second password detector that detects a second password from the document;
a judger that judged whether or not the first password detected by the first password detector and the second password detected by the second password detector, are correlated to each other; and
an output permitting portion that permits image data read out from the document by the image reader to be outputted if it is judged that the first password and the second password are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requests entry of a password correlated to the second password, if it is judged that the first password and the second password are not correlated to each other, then permits the image data read out from the document to be outputted if a password correlated to the second password is entered. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. An image processing method comprising:
-
inputting image data of a plurality of pages of document;
detecting a password given to each of the pages;
judging from the detecting results whether or not different passwords are detected from each of the pages;
judging about each of the pages if different passwords are detected from each of the pages, whether or not the passwords are correlated to each other; and
permitting the inputted image data of all the pages to be outputted without requesting entry of all passwords, if it is judged about each of the pages that the passwords are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requesting entry of a password about each of the pages if it is judged about at least one of the pages that the passwords are not correlated to each other, then permitting the image data of a certain page if an appropriate password is entered about that page. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. An image processing method comprising:
-
detecting a first password from a medium having the first password given thereto;
reading by an image reader, an image on a document transferred by a document transfer device;
detecting a second password from the document;
judging whether or not the detected first password and second password are correlated to each other; and
permitting image data read out from the document by the image reader to be outputted if it is judged that the first password and the second password are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requesting entry of a password correlated to the second password, if it is judged that the first password and the second password are not correlated to each other, then permitting the image data read out from the document to be outputted if a password correlated to the second password is entered. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A recording medium having an image processing program stored therein to make a computer of an image processing apparatus execute:
-
inputting image data of a plurality of pages of document;
detecting a password given to each of the pages;
judging from the password detecting result whether or not different passwords are detected from each of the pages;
judging about each of the pages if different passwords are detected from each of the pages, whether or not the passwords are correlated to each other; and
permitting the inputted image data of all the pages to be outputted without requesting entry of all passwords, if it is judged about each of the pages that the passwords are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requesting entry of a password about each of the pages if it is judged about at least one of the pages that the passwords are not correlated to each other, then permitting the image data of a certain page to be outputted if an appropriate password is entered about that page. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A recording medium having an image processing program stored therein to make a computer of an image processing apparatus execute:
-
detecting a first password from a medium having the first password given thereto;
reading by an image reader an image on a document transferred by a document transfer device;
detecting a second password from the document;
judging whether or not the detected first password and second password are correlated to each other; and
permitting image data read out from the document by the image reader to be outputted, if it is judged that the first password and the second password are correlated to each other, on the other hand, requesting entry of a password correlated to the second password if it is judged that the first password and the second password are not correlated to each other, then permitting the image data read out from the document to be outputted if a password correlated to the second password is entered. - View Dependent Claims (15)
