This invention has as its object to provide an image processing environment which allows the user to stop only a specific job by means of a simple operation, and has high operation efficiency and operability. When the user instructs to stop a job by depressing a stop key on a console during job execution, a job manager (Job Manager) implemented by a CPU pauses all jobs which are being executed, displays a list of all the paused jobs on the console using their job IDs, prompts the user to select any of the jobs displayed in the list, and stops only the selected job.

Image processing apparatus, control method of image processing apparatus, and storage medium

An operator depresses a voice registration key to set a voice registration mode, and registers the copy mode having been set at memory, and inputs the voice input for the copy mode registered through a microphone while depressing a voice input key, and registers the voice for the copy mode, so that a desired copy mode can be called at any time. When an operator inputs voice to call the registered copy mode while depressing the voice input key, the registered voice similar to the input voice is retrieved, and the copy mode corresponding to the voice is called from the memory and set.

Image production equipment operable under voice direction

An apparatus and method for compressing an image based upon an attribute of a partial area efficiently includes a classification device for providing attribute classification information in which partial areas of an input image are classified into a variety of attributes and area information, and an image compression device for selecting an image compression method for each partial area in the above-described input image out of plural image compression methods and executing such compression.

Image processing apparatus and method

A communication controller enables connection between different apparatuses while protecting user's original commands and confidential data. The communication controller has a standardized mode and a user's original mode. By preventing connection with an apparatus which does not have a proper access right in advance, and transmitting data while enciphering the data when the user's original mode is executed, internal information is protected, and the secrecy protection property is not reduced.
