Benefits of technology

The present invention stops others from hearing confidential information when they use a voice input method.

Problems solved by technology

Usage of voice input for inputting confidential information such as a password may cause a security problem since the surrounding people may hear the confidential information.
However, when confidential information is to be input after repeated operation instructions on the apparatus by voice input, the user may happen to read the confidential information aloud in the course of events so far, causing leakage of the confidential information.

modification example

[0245]Next, a modification example of one or more embodiments will be described.

[0246]Since the image forming system of the modification example has the same configuration as the image forming system 100 of one or more embodiments, the same reference numerals as those in the above-described embodiments are used to omit the description of the common parts.

[0247]The configuration in which the password is invalidated in one or more embodiments is changed to one in which the user is notified of a warning while keeping the password valid in the modification example.

[0248]If the information recognized by the voice recognizer 15 corresponds to the confidential information, the CPU 111 of the image forming apparatus 10 performs control in which the user is notified of a predetermined warning regarding security of the confidential information.

[0249]The predetermined warning includes, for example, a prompt to change the password.

[0250]The CPU 111 causes the display 171 of the image forming ap...

Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes: a voice recognizer that recognizes information input by voice; a hardware processor that gives an instruction to execute a process based on the information recognized by the voice recognizer; and a first authenticator that performs, in response to executing the process, authentication to determine whether authority over the execution of the process has been given using first confidential information that is set in advance, wherein, if the information recognized by the voice recognizer corresponds to the first confidential information, the hardware processor invalidates the first confidential information.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The entire disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-094196, filed on May 16, 2018, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUNDTechnical Field[0002]The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus, a confidential information management method, and a recording medium.Description of the Related Art[0003]Conventionally, operation instructions are input into an apparatus such as an image forming apparatus not only manually from an operation unit but also by voice. Usage of voice input for inputting confidential information such as a password may cause a security problem since the surrounding people may hear the confidential information.[0004]There has been proposed some techniques for preventing leakage of a password etc. For example, if it is determined that a voice listed as voice input prohibition information is input during a voice input mode, in which a process is execu...
