Image Processing Apparatus
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a job inputting section to input an outputting job based on which an image is to be outputted, therefrom, while correlating user identification information of a user, who instruct an operation for implementing the outputting job, and the outputting job with each other;
a job implementation order controlling section to control an implementation order of outputting jobs, each of which is the outputting job inputted from the job inputting section, based on priority degrees of the outputting jobs;
a job implementing section to sequentially implement the outputting jobs one by one, according to the implementation order of the outputting jobs;
a user-identification information inputting section to input the user identification information, therefrom; and
a control section to conduct an updating operation for heightening a priority degree of a specific outputting job, which is currently in a standby state for waiting its turn to be commenced by the job implementing section, based on an inputting status of the user identification information inputted from the user-identification information inputting section and correlated with the specific outputting job.

Abstract
Disclosed is an image processing apparatus, which makes it possible to put an implementation order of an outputting job, inputted by a user and currently in the standby state, forward, even if the concerned user does not conduct specific operations. The apparatus includes: a job inputting section to input an outputting job, while correlating it with user identification information; a job implementation order controlling section to control an implementation order of outputting jobs, based on priority degrees of the outputting jobs; a job implementing section to implement the outputting jobs according to the implementation order of them; a user-identification information inputting section; and a control section to conduct an updating operation for heightening a priority degree of a specific outputting job currently in the standby state, based on an inputting status of the user identification information inputted from the user-identification information inputting section and correlated with the specific outputting job.
