Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an operating unit comprising a user interface configured to receive an operation from a user who has logged-in to the image processing apparatus, a job execution unit configured to execute a job based on the received operation, a determination unit configured to determine whether the job requires an instruction via the operating unit after detecting a logout event, and a control unit configured to, when the job is determined to require the instruction via the operation unit after the logout event has been detected, prevent a user's instruction-waiting state from occurring after the user has logged-out, and when the job is determined to not require the instruction via the operation unit after the logout event has been detected, allow the job to continue under execution after the user has logged-out. At least part of the control unit is implemented by a processor and a memory.
