Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a first memory configured to store first association data which associates input data targeted for processing with user identification information; a plurality of types of user interfaces configured to accept an instruction from a user, said plurality of types of user interfaces includes: an authentication portion configured to authenticate a user based on authentication information input into one of said plurality of types of user interfaces; a process executing portion configured to execute at least one of a plurality of types of processes according to settings input into the one of said plurality of types of user interfaces; a second memory configured to store second association data which associates a respective one of said plurality of types of user interfaces with a respective one of plurality of different processes, corresponding to the one of said plurality of types of user interfaces, as a process to be executed for said input data targeted for processing; a judging portion configured to judge whether or not data targeted for processing and associated by said first association data with the user identification information of a user authenticated by said authentication portion is stored; a specifying portion configured to specify a process associated by said second association data with the one of said plurality of types of user interfaces through which said authentication information has been accepted, in a case where it is judged by said judging portion that data targeted for processing and associated by said first association data with the user identification information of said authenticated user is stored; and a determining portion configured to determine a screen for accepting settings for causing said process executing portion to execute the process corresponding to the user interface through which said authentication information has been accepted and having been specified by said specifying portion for data targeted for processing and associated by said first association data with the user identification information of said authenticated user, wherein: said second interface includes an interface configured to accept a remote operation of the image processing apparatus from a personal computer, and an interface configured to accept a remote operation of the image processing apparatus from a mobile communication terminal; and said first interface is associated with a process of printing said input data targeted for processing by the image processing apparatus, said interface configured to accept a remote operation of the image processing apparatus from a personal computer is associated with a process of causing the personal computer to acquire said input data targeted for processing, and said interface configured to accept a remote operation of the image processing apparatus from a mobile communication terminal is associated with a process of deleting said input data targeted for processing.
