Embodiment Construction

[0031] Various embodiments, features, and aspects of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a system configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] The MFP 11 in the system of FIG. 1 can authenticate a user using the system. Information management server 12 uses database 305a as shown in Figure 3 to manage various documents, particularly, manages important documents (Fig. Documents B and D in .

[0034] In addition, for user authentication of the MFP 11, user authentication of the information management server 12, and user authentication of the client personal computer (PC) 13 (such as Windows  authentication), this embodiment can implement single sign-on (single sign-on) by using a common user account. In this embodiment, the user must perform user authentication (even without using a service on the network) when using the MFP or the client PC. Th...

Abstract

According to a data processing apparatus and a method thereof, processing is performed to make a user to certainly read information, e.g., a document, to be read by the user. In the processing, a database of an information management server stores information to be read by the user, an ID identifying the information, and status information identifying whether the information is not yet read by the user. When the user wishes to operate an apparatus in a system, the operation of the apparatus is restricted if the information to be read by the user is unread. If the information to be read by the user is already read, the operation of the apparatus is permitted.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data processing device and method thereof, and in particular, the present invention relates to a data processing device and method thereof configured to prompt a user to read information provided to the user. Background technique [0002] A conventional information management system transmits information such as documents from an information management server to a client terminal through a network, and notifies the user of the client terminal of the information. For example, information management systems employ e-mail as a method of notifying users of recently recorded documents. With the information management system using electronic mail, the sender can confirm whether the recipient has confirmed receipt of the sent electronic mail using the message processing notification function of the electronic mail application. [0003] However, in an information management system employing a method of notifying recently rec...
