Problems solved by technology

[0006] In such an authentication system, there is a problem that even if a user managed by the authentication server is deleted, since the user's authentication information remains inside the multifunction device, it is necessary to switch to the proxy authentication unit in the event of a network failure or the like. , the user who should not be allowed to use is authenticated to be able to use the MFP

Embodiment approach 1

[0027]

[0028] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the multifunction device control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the same figure, the multifunction peripheral control system, for example, combines one or more multifunction peripherals 100 that can use multiple functions such as a copy function, a scanner function, a facsimile function, and a printer function, and performs authentication processing for a user using the multifunction peripheral 100. The authentication server 200 is configured through a network connection.

[0029]

[0030] exist figure 1 Among them, the multifunction peripheral 100 is configured to include an operation unit 101 , an image reading unit 102 , an image forming unit 103 , a communication unit 104 , a device control unit 105 , and a storage unit 106 , and is controlled by the device control unit 105 .

[0031] The operation unit 101 is composed of a plurality of operation keys fo...

Embodiment approach 2

[0077] In Embodiment 2, when the user related to the job executed in the proxy authentication is not registered in the user information management database 208a of the authentication server 200, it is deleted from the user information management table 106a of the multifunction peripheral 100, and the same user The registered user information is set to the same content.

[0079] Figure 4 It is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a multifunction peripheral control system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the same figure, the device control unit 105 is configured to include an authentication server monitoring unit 105a, a user authentication unit 105b, a job management unit 105d, a usage log transmission unit 105e, and a user registration / deletion unit 105c. In addition, the storage unit 106 includes a user information management table 106a and a user use log table 106b. In the same figure, the same components as those in Embodi...

Embodiment approach 3

[0108] The administrator has the authority to register or delete users who use the control system of this multifunction device.

[0109] In Embodiment 3, when the administrator updates the user information on the user information management database 208 a of the authentication server 200 , he notifies all the managed multifunction peripherals 100 of the update of the user.

[0110] Also, when the administrator updates the user information in the user information management table 106 a of the multifunction peripheral 100 , the administrator notifies the authentication server 200 of the update of the user.

Abstract

A multi-functional peripheral control system is composed of an authentication server having a user information management database for storing authentication information corresponding to each user, and that performs user authentication processing with reference to the user information management database, and one or more multi-functional peripherals managed by the authentication server, in which the multi-functional peripheral has a user information management table for storing authentication information corresponding to a user, when being possible to connect to the authentication server, transmits user information to the authentication server to perform authentication processing, and when being impossible to connect to the authentication server, performs alternate authentication with reference to the user information management table, and the multi-functional peripheral includes a user deletion portion for deleting user information that authentication is not permitted by the authentication server from the user information management table.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multifunctional machine control system and a multifunctional machine that perform authentication processing in an authentication server connected to a network, and perform proxy authentication inside the multifunctional machine when the authentication server cannot be connected. Background technique [0002] In an environment where a user can select any one of a plurality of MFPs to perform copying, printing, or facsimile transmission, etc., when authentication, authority restriction, output sheet limit, fee management, etc. are performed for each user, By connecting multiple multifunction devices and an authentication server to the network, the above-mentioned management can be collectively managed in the authentication server. [0003] However, when authentication cannot be performed due to failure (down) of the authentication server or network failure, the user cannot use the multifunction device. [0004] Therefo...
