Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a CPU and a camera. In the image forming apparatus, the camera takes a facial image of a user approaching the image forming apparatus, and on the basis of the facial image, face authentication is executed. Further, in a case where it has been determined as a result of the face authentication that the user approaching the image forming apparatus is a registered user, it is determined whether there is registered job data registered by the registered user. The image forming apparatus is switched from a power-saving mode to a normal mode in a case where it has been determined that there is registered job data of the user approaching the image forming apparatus.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus including a memory section that is able to store therein a facial image of a registered user and predetermined registered job data registered by the registered user and having a power-saving state in which an amount of power consumption is limited to a predetermined value or smaller and a normal state in which the amount of power consumption is not limited, comprising:\n a first determination unit that determines whether a user is present in a first range within an area around the image forming apparatus; a second determination unit that, in a case where the first determination unit has determined that a user is present in the first range, determines whether the user is the registered user; a third determination unit that, in a case where the second determination unit has determined that the user is the registered user, determines whether the memory section has stored therein the registered job data registered by the registered user; and a state setting unit that sets the normal state in a case where the third determination unit has determined in the power-saving state that the memory section has stored therein the registered job data registered by the registered user.
