First Claim
1. An image processing system for forming an image based on print information transferred from an electronic apparatus to an image processing apparatus, said electronic apparatus comprising:
- information addition means for adding user information to the print information; and
transfer means for transferring the print information having the user information added thereto to said image processing apparatus, said image processing apparatus comprising;
voice-feature specification means for specifying a voice feature based on the user information received from said electronic apparatus;
user-authentication-information specification means for specifying user-authentication information by executing voice authentication processing based on the voice feature specified by said voice-feature specification means; and
print-information output means for starting output of the print information based on the user-authentication information specified by said user-authentication-information specification means.

Abstract
In the present invention, an electronic apparatus adds user information to print information and transfers the print information, to which the user information has been added, to an image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus specifies a voice feature based on the user information received from the electronic apparatus, specifies user-authentication information by executing voice authentication processing based on the specified voice feature, and starts output of the print information based on the specified user-authentication information. Hence, it is possible to output print information after assuredly authenticating a regular user, and start output of the print information according to an instruction only from the regular user.
