IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, SECURITY SYSTEM SUPPLIED WITH IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an intrusion detection unit that detects an intrusion of an intruder;
an imaging unit that images a monitor area;
an imaging control unit that activates the imaging unit and causes the imaging unit to start imaging; and
an imaging instruction unit that instructs the imaging control unit to activate the imaging unit and cause the imaging unit to start imaging, in a case where the image processing apparatus is in an energy-saving mode, in which the imaging unit is inactive, when the intrusion detection unit detects the intrusion of the intruder, without switching the energy-saving mode to a normal mode, in which the imaging unit and an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording medium are active.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an intrusion detection unit that detects an intrusion of an intruder; an imaging unit that images a monitor area; an imaging control unit that activates the imaging unit and causes the imaging unit to start imaging; and an imaging instruction unit that instructs the imaging control unit to activate the imaging unit and cause the imaging unit to start imaging, in a case where the image processing apparatus is in an energy-saving mode, in which the imaging unit is inactive, when the intrusion detection unit detects the intrusion of the intruder, without switching the energy-saving mode to a normal mode, in which the imaging unit and an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording medium are active.

6. An image processing method of an image processing apparatus, comprising:
-
detecting an intrusion of an intruder; activating an imaging unit and instructing the imaging unit to start imaging, in a case where the image processing apparatus is in an energy-saving mode, in which the imaging unit is inactive, when the intrusion of the intruder is detected, without switching the energy-saving mode to a normal mode, in which the imaging unit and an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording medium are active; and imaging a monitor area with the imaging unit.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform a process of processing an image in an image processing apparatus, the process comprising:
-
a step of detecting an intrusion of an intruder; a step of activating an imaging unit and instructing the imaging unit to start imaging, in a case where the image processing apparatus is in an energy-saving mode, in which the imaging unit is inactive, when the intrusion of the intruder is detected, without switching the energy-saving mode to a normal mode, in which the imaging unit and an image forming unit for forming an image on a recording medium are active; and a step of imaging a monitor area with the imaging unit.
