摘要:
Systems and methods for using a print subsystem to implement an analysis of the content of a print job prior to despooling the print job to a printing device, and selectively rendering, providing a modified rendering or terminating the print job. A computer device is connected to a printing device to selectively render a print job and includes a print subsystem, such as spooler and optionally a printer driver and a print processor. A further implementation includes a print server having a print subsystem. Print data corresponding to a print job is provided from the print subsystem input processing to a content filtering process to analyze the content thereof prior to despooling the print job to the printing device. The analysis determines if some or all of the content should be rejected, removed, replaced or require acknowledgement.

A print record management device includes a comparison unit that compares print image data produced on the basis of stored document data with the stored document data, and a determination unit that determines, from a result of the comparison, which of the print image data and association data showing association with the stored document data is to be stored as record data for enabling reproduction of printing processing in relation to the print image data.

An additional data useful for the management of copies of a document for an image forming apparatus is embedded in a hard copy of the document. The additional data is embedded in an inherent image of a document as discrete dots arranged in a prescribed format. Preferably, the size of each of said discrete dots is not so large as to be recognized easily with naked eyes. The additional data can be embedded in unit of blocks. Further, the density of the discrete dots is different from the density adjacent to the discrete dots. The image data for embedding an additional data can be obtained by reading a document, or by receiving data sent from a computer or read from a floppy disk. An additional data embedded in a hard copy can be extracted from the image data on the hard copy. Further, the production of a copy according to the image data can be controlled according to the extracted additional data. For example, if the additional data means that the source of the hard copy is a secret document, the copying is allowed only for a legitimate user. An additional data is generated for each copy according to the extracted additional data for embedding it in a hard copy to identify each copy. The additional data generated for each copy are compiled and they are used to manage copies of various sources systematically and illegal copies can be traced easily. If the additional data received from a printer is not consistent with the additional data already stored, the printing may be prohibited. A transmitter for transmitting an additional data may be provided in-a document such as a book.

An image formation apparatus includes a scanner unit entering image data, a printer unit printing out input image data, a signature information detection unit detecting additional information including destination information from the image data, and a communication processing unit transmitting information related to printing of image data to the detected destination. Additional information including destination information is detected from the image data. Information related to printing of image data is transmitted to the destination detected from the image data. Accordingly, information related to printing when image data is printed is audited at the destination side.

A document management apparatus includes an electronic document editing unit which performs processing associated with creation and edit of an electronic document, a processing information obtaining unit which obtains processing information in the electronic document editing unit, a restriction information acceptance unit which accepts input of restriction information that restricts processing for the electronic document, and a uniformed electronic document creation unit which-creates a uniformed electronic document by attaching generation information containing the processing information and the restriction information to the electronic document.

An image processing method for use in a printer driver includes steps of receiving an instruction for a printing process, judging whether an image corresponding to a developed image signal represents a specified image according to the printing process, and outputting a result obtained in the judging step so as to use the result processing of the image signal. A forgery preventing module in an operating system outputs an instruction to a display driver for executing a predetermined display according to the result obtained in the judging step.

An imaging apparatus is provided that is capable of maintaining document security control even in a case where document ID information cannot be identified from a physical document that is subject to an imaging operation. The imaging apparatus includes a read unit for reading image data from a physical document in response to an imaging request from a user, a user information acquisition unit for acquiring user information including a security attribute of the user, a document information acquisition unit for acquiring document information including a security attribute of the physical document, an operating condition selection unit for determining whether to authorize outputting of the image data read from the physical document based on the user information and the document information by referring to a predetermined rule, and a log management unit for storing the image data in association with the user information without allowing the image data to be output when the document information is not acquired at the document information acquisition unit.

A computer is provided with software that looks for certain activities that may be illicit (e.g. processing of a graphic file corresponding to a banknote). If such an activity is detected, tracer data detailing the activity is generated and secretly stored in the computer. If the computer is later searched or seized, the tracer data can be recovered and employed as evidence of the computer's use, e.g. in counterfeiting.
