Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a job execution unit that executes a job related to image processing; an authentication unit that, when authentication using authentication information which is input by a user is successfully passed, permits a user to operate a job to be executed by the job execution unit; a job execution stop command detection unit that detects a job execution stop command given by the user; a first command accepting unit that, when the job execution stop command detection unit detects the job execution stop command, accepts from the user an operation command for a job in the currently-executed state and a list display command to display a list of jobs in the execution standby state, without accepting an input of authentication information from the user and without passing the authentication conducted by the authentication unit; a second command accepting unit that, when the first command accepting unit accepts the list display command, causes a display unit to display a list screen in which the jobs in the execution standby state are displayed as a list, and accepts from the user a selection of a job from the jobs displayed on the list screen and an operation command for the selected job; an authentication information accepting unit that, when the first command accepting unit accepts the operation command for the job in the currently-executed state, accepts from the user the input of the authentication information, and that, even when the second command accepting unit accepts the operation command for the job in the execution standby state, also accepts from the user the input of the authentication information; and an operation execution unit that, when, in response to the operation command for the job in the currently-executed state accepted by the first command accepting unit, the authentication unit successfully passes the authentication using the authentication information accepted by the authentication information accepting unit and then the authentication unit permits operation for the job in the currently-executed state, executes the operation for the job in the currently-executed state, and when, in response to the selection of the job and the operation command for the selected job accepted by the second command accepting unit, the authentication unit successfully passes the authentication using the authentication information accepted by the authentication information accepting unit and then the authentication unit permits operation for the selected job in the execution standby state, executes the operation for the selected job in the currently-executed state.
