Description

The present invention is an information processing device and an information processing device capable of providing an appropriate function in the information processing device after login even if the mechanism is such that the information processing device can be logged in with a plurality of types of information storage media. It relates to the control method, the information processing system, the control method of the information processing system, and the program.

There is a health management terminal that can acquire and store health data (for example, the number of steps and walking time of the user) indicating the exercise status while the user is wearing it. Due to the growing health consciousness in recent years, a mechanism has been considered in which data acquired by such a health management terminal is accumulated and used for user's health management.

In Patent Document 1, after the image forming apparatus (printer) is authenticated by an authentication device, measurement is performed using a measuring instrument having a wireless communication function (pedometer, health meter, body composition meter, sphygmomanometer, etc.). A health management system that supports the health management of employees by importing the obtained vital data (health data) into an image forming apparatus and accumulating it in a database in the image forming apparatus is described.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-218651

By the way, the image forming apparatus has a mechanism for performing user authentication by reading an IC card through a card reader which is a reading unit and logging in to the image forming apparatus. By equipping the health management terminal as described above with the same authentication function as the IC card, it becomes possible to log in to the image forming device using the health management terminal, and the health management terminal can be logged in via the image forming device. It will also be possible to send the data stored in the device to an external server. That is, the user can log in to the image forming apparatus using either the IC card or the health management terminal.

In the case of logging in to the image forming apparatus using an IC card, the various functions of the image forming apparatus (unless the user logs out after the login to the image forming apparatus is completed by reading the IC card through the card reader of the image forming apparatus. Use of copy, fax, scan, etc.) is permitted.

On the other hand, when the image forming device is logged in by the health management terminal, the health management data acquired by the image forming device from the health management terminal and the user's sensitive information such as my number can be viewed on the screen of the image forming device. It will be in a possible state. If the post-login process is the same as when logging in with an IC card, for example, after the user logs in to the image forming device with a health management terminal, he / she leaves the image forming device without performing the logout operation. In this case, there arises a problem that a third party who is not the logged-in user can see the sensitive information of the user or print the user's sensitive information on the logged-in image forming device.
Further, after logging in with the health management terminal, the user has to give an acquisition instruction in order to have the image forming apparatus acquire the health data accumulated in the health management terminal, which is troublesome.

However, the mechanism of Patent Document 1 described above only discloses a mechanism of logging in to the image forming apparatus and acquiring health management data, and cannot solve the problem of the present invention.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism capable of providing an appropriate function in the information processing device after login according to the type of information storage medium for logging in to the information processing device.

In the information processing device of the present invention, the information storage medium holds the reading unit of the information processing device over whether the information storage medium is the first type that holds the measurement data or the second type that does not hold the measurement data. specifying means for specific for on the basis of the information data read from the storage medium by being, after the information storage medium is held over the reader, when held over the information storage medium was the first type It is characterized by having a display control means for controlling the display of a menu screen different from that of the second type .

According to the present invention, it is possible to display an appropriate screen on the information processing device to the user according to the type of the information storage medium held over the reading unit of the information processing device.

Here, it is determined whether or not the card ID has an identifier indicating the health management terminal 400 (in this embodiment, the upper three digits are "222"), but any information that can be acquired via the card reader 310 is used. You may check based on any information.

Then, when it is determined that the information storage medium held over is not the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (No in S1011), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1017. Step S1017 will be described later.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the information storage medium held over is the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (Yes in S1011), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1012.

In step S1012, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not untransmitted activity amount data exists in the health management terminal 400 held over the card reader 310. The existence of untransmitted activity data may be determined based on, for example, the transmission date and time described in the activity data, or may be determined by another method.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating activity amount data stored in the health management terminal 400.
As shown in FIG. 11, the activity amount data is composed of data such as total energy consumption, activity energy amount, number of steps, walking time, transmission date and time. The transmission date and time is the date and time when the activity amount data is transmitted to the external server 200 via the image forming apparatus 300, and is written from the image forming apparatus 300.

If it is determined in step S1012 that there is no untransmitted activity data (No in S1012), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1027. Note that step S1027 will be described later.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is untransmitted activity data (Yes in S1012), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1013.
In step S1013, the image forming apparatus 300 acquires the untransmitted activity amount data from the health management terminal 400 via the card reader 310, and transmits the acquired activity amount data to the external server 200 (transmission means). Corresponds to).

In step S3001, when the external server 200 receives the activity data from the image forming apparatus 300, the external server 200 shifts the process to step S3002.
In step S3002, the external server 200 registers the activity amount data received in step S3001 in a specific storage area managed by the external server 200, and transmits the registration result to the image forming apparatus 300.

After step S1013, in step S1014, the image forming apparatus 300 stores the date and time when the activity amount data is transmitted in the health management terminal 400 via the card reader 310 as the transmission date and time of the transmitted activity amount data. Write in the activity data that is being done.
Next, in step S1015, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not the "activity data transmission" button 901 on the menu screen has been pressed. Then, when it is determined that the "activity data transmission" button 901 is pressed (yes in S1015), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1107.

In step S1107, the image forming apparatus displays the activity data transmission state confirmation screen. Before the transmission of the activity amount data is completed (before the registration result of the activity amount data is received from the external server 200), the screen B of FIG. 9 is displayed as the transmission state confirmation screen of the activity amount data. On the other hand, after the transmission of the activity amount data is completed (after receiving the registration result of the activity amount data from the external server 200), the screen C is displayed as the transmission state confirmation screen of the activity amount data. When the "OK" button (911 for screen B, 921 for screen C) is pressed on the activity data transmission status confirmation screen, the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1016.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the "activity data transmission" button 901 is not pressed (No in S1015), the image forming apparatus 300 directly shifts the process to step S1016.

In step S1016, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed from the reading area of the card reader 310.
When it is determined that the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has not been removed (No in S1016), the image forming apparatus 300 has the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) reading area of the card reader 310. The process of step S1016 is continued until it is removed from. Even while the process of step S1016 is being continued, the image forming apparatus 300 can also execute the process for the operations (copy, print, logout, etc.) on the image forming apparatus 300.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed (Yes in S1016), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1028, logs out, and ends the process of this flowchart. ..
In this way, when the health management terminal 400 is removed from the reading area of the card reader 310, the logged-in image forming apparatus 300 is logged out, so that, for example, a report showing the health condition of the user (stored in the health management terminal 400). Information that you want only the logged-in user to view on the health management terminal 400, such as information stored in an external server that can be accessed by the information provided, is for other users due to forgetting to log out the logged-in user. It has the effect of preventing it from being viewed by users. Further, since it takes time to acquire the activity amount data from the health management terminal 400 and complete the process, the activity is performed by making it impossible to maintain the logged-in state of the image forming apparatus 300 unless the card reader 310 is continuously held over the card reader 310. This has the effect of preventing the user from removing the health management terminal 400 from the card reader 310 before the amount data is acquired and the processing is completed.
As another embodiment, when it is determined that the health management terminal 400 has been removed, the operation screen may be locked so that the image forming apparatus 300 cannot be operated without logging out. For example, a screen such as screen E in FIG. 12 can be displayed on the operation unit 3018, thereby preventing other users from viewing sensitive information when the health management terminal 400 is removed from the card reader 310. effective.
As another embodiment, when the card reader 310 is instructed to display the sensitive information when the health management terminal 400 is not held over the card reader 310, the mask display is controlled so as not to display the sensitive information. You may.
The determination of whether or not the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed from the reading area of the card reader 310 is made when the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed from the reading area and a predetermined time has elapsed. , It may be determined that the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed from the reading area of the card reader 310.

Further, as described above, when it is determined in step S1011 that the information storage medium held over is not the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (No in S1011), the image forming apparatus 300 goes to step S1017. Move the process.

Then, in step S1017, the image forming apparatus 300 detected that an information storage medium having a card ID different from the card ID stored in the specific area of the image forming apparatus 300 was held over (a different information storage medium was detected). Judge whether or not. That is, when the login is not performed by the health management terminal 400 (when logged in by the IC card), even if the IC card is removed from the card reader 310, the login state is continued without being logged out. Here, after the IC card is removed once, it is determined whether or not an IC card having a different card ID is held over.
Then, when it is determined that the information storage medium having the same card ID is held over (a different information storage medium is not detected) (No in S1017), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1027. Step S1027 will be described later.

On the other hand, when it is determined that an information storage medium having a card ID different from the card ID stored in the specific area of the image forming apparatus 300 is held over (a different information storage medium is detected) (Yes in S1017). ), The image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1018.

In step S1018, the image forming apparatus 300 acquires the card ID of the information storage medium held by the user via the card reader 310.
Next, in step S1109, the image forming apparatus 300 transmits the card ID acquired in step S1108 to the authentication server 100.

In step S2003, when the authentication server 100 receives the card ID transmitted from the image forming apparatus 300, the authentication server 100 performs an authentication process by collating the received card ID with the card ID of the IC card authentication table (card ID). Use to search and get the corresponding user information).
Next, in step S2004, the authentication server 100 transmits the authentication result in step S2003 to the image forming apparatus 300.

In step S1020, when the image forming apparatus 300 receives the authentication result transmitted from the authentication server 100, the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1021.
In step S1021, the image forming apparatus 300 determines the authentication result received in step S1020. Then, when it is determined that the authentication has failed (No in S1021), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1102.
In S1102, the image forming apparatus 300 logs out, displays an authentication failure screen (not shown) in S1103, and ends the process of this flowchart.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1021 that the authentication is successful (yes in S1021), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1022.
In step S1022, the image forming apparatus 300 determines whether or not the information storage medium held over is an information storage medium of a user different from the logged-in user. The method of determining whether or not the user is different from the logged-in user is, for example, comparing the user information included in the authentication result received in step S1020 with the user information stored in the specific area in the image forming apparatus 300. Judge by doing.

Then, when it is determined that the card is the same user as the logged-in user (not a card of a different user) (No in S1022), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1104.
In step S1104, the image forming apparatus 300 stores the card ID acquired from the information storage medium of the same user as the logged-in user in a specific storage area in the image forming apparatus 300, and shifts the process to step S1011.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the information storage medium is a user different from the logged-in user (Yes in S1022), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1023.
Next, in step S1023, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not the information storage medium held up at the time of detecting the information storage medium in step S1017 is the health management terminal 400 (activity meter). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the card ID has an identifier indicating the health management terminal 400 (in this embodiment, the top three digits are "222").

Then, when it is determined that the information storage medium held over is not the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (No in S1023), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1105.
In step S1105, the image forming apparatus 300 performs a logout process, shifts the process to step S1007, and controls so that the above-mentioned different users log in.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the information storage medium held over is the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (Yes in S1023), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1024.
In step S1024, the image forming apparatus 300 displays a confirmation screen (for example, screen D in FIG. 9) when the health management terminal 400 is held up.

Next, in step S1025, the image forming apparatus 300 presses either the "re-login" button 931 or the "send" button 932 on the confirmation screen when the health management terminal 400 displayed in step S1024 is held over. Check if it was done.

Then, when it is determined that the "re-login" button 931 is pressed (in the case of "re-login" in S1025), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1106.
In step S1106, the image forming apparatus 300 performs a logout process, shifts the process to step S1007, and controls so that the above-mentioned different user logs in again.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the "send" button 931 is pressed (in the case of "send" in S1025), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1026.
In step S1026, the image forming apparatus 300 executes the activity data transmission process (details will be described later in FIG. 7) of the user who is not logged in, and shifts the process to step S1027.

In step S1027, the image forming apparatus 300 determines whether or not logout is selected by another operation. The log-out operation on the image forming apparatus 300 is, for example, when the "log-out" key 902 on the image forming apparatus 300 is pressed.

Then, when it is determined that the logout is selected (Yes in S1027), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1028. In step S1028, the image forming apparatus 300 performs a logout process and ends the process of this flowchart.

On the other hand, when it is determined that logout is not selected (No in S1027), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1011 and controls the operation to be sustainable.

Hereinafter, the activity data transmission process of the user who is not logged in will be described with reference to FIG. 7.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating the activity data transmission process of the user who is not logged in as shown in step S1026 of FIG. 6C. The processing of the image forming apparatus 300 shown in steps S1 to S6 is realized by the CPU 3001 of the image forming apparatus 300 executing the program stored in the ROM 3002 or the like. Further, the processing of the external server 200 shown in steps S3004 to S3005 is realized by the CPU 201 of the external server 200 executing the program stored in the external memory 211 or the like.

In step S1, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not untransmitted activity amount data exists in the health management terminal 400 held over the card reader 310. The existence of untransmitted activity data may be determined based on, for example, the transmission date and time described in the activity data, or may be determined by another method. Then, when it is determined that there is no untransmitted activity data (No in S1), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S1027 of FIG. 6C.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is untransmitted activity data (Yes in S1), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S2.
In step S2, the image forming apparatus 300 acquires the untransmitted activity amount data from the health management terminal 400.
Next, in step S3, the image forming apparatus 300 transmits the activity amount data acquired in step S2 to the external server 200. Further, the image forming apparatus 300 sets the date and time when the activity amount data is transmitted as the transmission date and time of the transmitted activity amount data in the activity amount data stored in the health management terminal 400 via the card reader 310. Write to.

In step S3004, when the external server 200 receives the activity amount data from the image forming apparatus 300, the external server 200 shifts the process to step S3005.
In step S3005, the external server 200 registers the activity amount data received in step S3004 in a specific storage area managed by the external server 200, and transmits the registration result to the image forming apparatus 300.

After step S3, in step S4, the image forming apparatus 300 stores the date and time when the activity amount data is transmitted in the health management terminal 400 via the card reader 310 as the transmission date and time of the transmitted activity amount data. Write in the activity data that is being done.
Next, in step S5, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not the "activity data transmission" button 901 on the menu screen has been pressed. Then, when it is determined that the "activity data transmission" button 901 is pressed (yes in S5), the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S7.

In step S7, the image forming apparatus displays the transmission status of the activity amount data on the screen. The screen B is displayed before the transmission of the activity data is completed (before the registration result of the activity data is received from the external server 200). On the other hand, after the transmission of the activity amount data is completed (after receiving the registration result of the activity amount data from the external server 200), the screen C is displayed. After step S7, the image forming apparatus 300 shifts the process to step S6.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the "activity data transmission" button 901 is not pressed (No in S5), the image forming apparatus 300 directly shifts the process to step S6.

In step S6, the image forming apparatus 300 confirms whether or not the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed from the reading area of the card reader 310.
Then, when it is determined that the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) is not removed (No in S6), the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) reads the card reader 310 in the image forming apparatus 300. The process of step S6 is continued until it is removed from. Even if the process of step S6 is being continued, the image forming apparatus 300 can also execute the process for the operations (copy, print, logout, etc.) on the image forming apparatus 300.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) has been removed (Yes in S6), the image forming apparatus 300 ends the process of this flowchart and shifts the process to step S1027.

In the present embodiment, the configuration for transmitting the information in the health management terminal 400 to the external server 200 has been described, but the configuration is such that the data in the health management terminal 400 is subjected to predetermined processing in the image forming apparatus 300. There may be. For example, the data in the health management terminal 400 may be stored in the HDD 3007 of the image forming apparatus 300, processed, or the like.

As shown above, in the image forming apparatus 300 of the first embodiment, based on the card ID acquired by the card reader 310, the information storage medium held over the card reader 310 corresponds to the logged-in user, and When it is determined that the health management terminal 400 stores data to be processed by the image forming apparatus 300 (for example, data to be transmitted to the external server 200), the login state of the logged-in user can be maintained. At the same time, it is controlled so that the data stored in the health management terminal 400 is processed (for example, transmitted to the external server 200). With this configuration, even when the health management terminal 400 or the like of a user different from the logged-in user is held over the card reader of the image forming apparatus, the inside of the health management terminal 400 keeps the login state of the image forming apparatus properly managed. Information can be processed appropriately. Therefore, the login state of the image forming apparatus 300 can be appropriately managed, and the convenience of both the logged-in user and other users who have the health management terminal 400 and the like can be enhanced.

[Embodiment 2]
8A-8C are flowcharts illustrating the processes executed in the system of the second embodiment. In addition, in steps S4001 to S4023, S4026 to S4028, S4101 to S4105, S4107, S5001 to S5004, and S6001 to S6002 of FIGS. 8A to 8C, steps S1001 to S1023 and S1026 to S1028 of FIGS. , S1101 to S1105, S1107, S2001 to S2004, and S3001 to S3002, respectively, so the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described.

8A to 8C of the second embodiment are obtained by removing the steps corresponding to steps S1024, S1025, and S1106 from FIGS. 6A to 6C of the first embodiment. That is, in step S4023 of FIG. 8B, when the image forming apparatus 300 determines that the information storage medium held up at the time of card detection in step S4017 is the health management terminal 400 (activity meter) (Yes in S4023). , The process is transferred to step S4026 of FIG. 8C.

In the first embodiment described above, a confirmation screen (for example, screen D in FIG. 9) is displayed to the user when the health management terminal 400 is held over. This is the screen of FIG. 9 when another user holds the health management terminal 400 over the image forming apparatus 300 in which the login state of the user who left without executing logout remains to log in again. This is to improve the convenience of another user who wants to log in using the health management terminal 400 by displaying a confirmation screen such as D so that the user in the logged-in state can be logged out and another user can log in.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the confirmation screen as shown in the screen D of FIG. 9 is not displayed, and the activity amount data in the health management terminal 400 is processed (for example, an external server) while the logged-in user continues to be logged in. Since it can be transmitted to 200), the image forming apparatus 300 can be used continuously during login, and the convenience of the logged-in user can be enhanced.

Instead of the health management terminal 400 described in each of the above embodiments, another device such as a smartphone or a mobile phone having a short-range wireless communication function may be used.

[Embodiment 3]
In the first embodiment, when the image forming apparatus 300 is logged in using the health management terminal 400, the health management terminal 400 is held over the card reader 310 while the card reader 310 recognizes the health management terminal 400. During the period), the login state was maintained, and when the card reader 310 could not recognize the health management terminal 400, the logged-in image forming apparatus 300 was logged out. In the present embodiment, when the IC card is used to log in to the image forming apparatus 300, a predetermined function is controlled to be infeasible, and when the health management terminal 400 is used to log in to the image forming apparatus 300. Performs a process for controlling a predetermined function so that it can be executed. Further, when the image forming apparatus 300 is logged in using the health management terminal 400, a process of automatically acquiring the activity amount data stored in the health management terminal 400 is performed. Hereinafter, a specific processing flow will be described.

In the third embodiment, the system configuration, the hardware configuration, the functional configuration, the screen example, the data table, and the like are the same as those in the first embodiment except for the following changes. The change is that the flowchart of FIG. 6A becomes FIG. 13.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the process executed in the third embodiment.

Since the processing from step S1001 to step S1010 and the processing from step S1012 to step S1016 are the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. 6A, the description thereof will be omitted.
Since the processes of steps S2001 and S2002 are the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. 6A, the description thereof will be omitted.
Since the processing of steps S3001 and S3002 has the same processing contents as the flowchart shown in FIG. 6A, description thereof will be omitted.

In step S1011, the image forming apparatus 300 refers to the card ID stored in the specific area of the image forming apparatus 300, and the information storage medium held over when the information storage medium is detected is the activity meter (health management terminal 400). Check if it is. Here, it is determined whether or not the card ID has an identifier indicating the health management terminal 400 (in this embodiment, the upper three digits are "222"), but any information that can be acquired via the card reader 310 is used. You may check based on any information. If it is determined that the information storage medium held over is not the activity meter (health management terminal 400) (No in step S1011), the image forming apparatus 300 proceeds to step S1301. On the other hand, when it is determined that the information storage medium held over is an activity meter (health management terminal 400), the image forming apparatus 300 proceeds to step S1302.

In step S1301, the CPU 3001 of the image forming apparatus 300 displays a menu screen corresponding to the type of information storage medium held over the card reader 310. In step S1301, a restricted menu screen (for example, screen F shown in FIG. 12) is displayed as a menu screen corresponding to a menu screen other than the health management terminal 400 (IC card). The screen F is a screen stored as a main menu displayed when logged in with an information storage medium of a type other than the health management terminal 400. Since the screen F is a screen displayed when logged in with an information storage medium other than the health management terminal 400, the activity meter data transmission function 1201 and the activity meter data printing function 1202 cannot be selected and controlled. Has been done. In the present embodiment, the screen corresponding to the type of the information storage medium is stored, and it is assumed that the function that can be executed and the function that cannot be executed are determined according to the type of the information storage medium. The non-executable functions described above are examples and are not limited thereto.

In step S1302, the CPU 3001 of the image forming apparatus 300 determines in step S1011 that the information storage medium held over is an activity meter (health management terminal 400), so that a menu screen of a type corresponding to the health management terminal 400 is displayed. The unrestricted menu screen is acquired from the HDD 3007 and displayed on the operation unit 3018. An example of an unrestricted menu screen is screen A in FIG. Unlike the screen F, the screen A is capable of executing the activity meter data transmission function and the activity meter data printing function, and when an icon related to the function is selected, the function corresponding to the icon is executed.

In this way, the image forming apparatus 300 is managed by storing information for identifying the feasible function and the non-executable function in association with each other with respect to the type of the information storage medium held over. It becomes possible for a person to easily set different authority for the information reading medium without setting the authority for all the information reading media owned by the user.
For example, as in the management table 1400 shown in FIG. 14, the type of information storage medium used for login and the function (operation) that can be executed after login are stored in association with each other (memory control means). The management table 1400 is a data table that manages operations and functions after login for each type 1401 of the information storage medium used for login. For example, the operation 1402 when the information storage medium cannot be read by the card reader is stored so as not to log out in the case of the IC card but to log out in the case of the health management terminal. As another example, the operation 1403 when the information storage medium cannot be read by the card reader does not lock the operation screen in the case of the IC card, but locks the screen in the case of the health management terminal. Has been done. As another example, in the operation 1404 when the information storage medium cannot be read by the card reader, the sensitive information is always displayed as a mask in the case of the IC card, but in the case of the health management terminal, the health management terminal is displayed. The mask display of sensitive information is canceled while it can be read by the card reader, and the mask display of sensitive information is performed when the health management terminal cannot be read. As another example, as the operation 1405 after login, in the case of an IC card, nothing is automatically executed after login, but in the case of a health management terminal, activity data is automatically obtained from the health management terminal. It is stored that it is acquired and sent to an external server. As another example, the main menu 1406 displayed after login stores the main menu corresponding to the IC card (a specific function is disabled) and the main menu corresponding to the health management terminal, respectively. There is. Different main menus are displayed depending on the type of information storage medium logged in.
In FIG. 14, the contents of the operation and the contents of the function are held in the table for the sake of explanation, but information for identifying the contents of the operation and the contents of the function may be included. The management table 1400 of FIG. 14 is a table for explanation and is merely an example. Further, in the management table 1400, the functions that can be executed are associated and managed according to the type of the medium used for login, but the functions that cannot be executed are associated and managed according to the type of the medium. You may do it. In that case, the function stored in an executable manner may be controlled in an executable manner depending on the type of medium used for login, and the function stored in an infeasible manner may be controlled in an executable manner.

In step S1303, the CPU 3001 of the image forming apparatus 300 determines that the information storage medium held up in step S1101 is an activity meter, and therefore performs a process of acquiring the activity data accumulated in the activity meter.

In this way, it is possible to reduce the time and effort of the user by automatically executing the function corresponding to the type of the information storage medium held over without receiving the instruction from the user.

This is the end of the description of the flowchart showing the processing flow of the third embodiment shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the present invention, the information processing apparatus after login can provide an appropriate function according to the type of information storage medium for logging in to the information processing apparatus.
