Embodiment
[first embodiment]
Below, based on the input media of description of drawings first embodiment of the present invention.Input media in this embodiment is installed in the electronic equipment that the user operates input.As shown in Figure 1, input media comprises in guidance panel 2: the display device 9 of display-operation picture, be used for the operating unit 8 of input operation and the control module 7 of the processing of the operation information that carries out being imported and authentication information.
Enter key 10 has a plurality of codes.That is, enter key 10 can be used a different code of button input.In addition, code is meant character informations such as English character, hiragana, katakana, numeral, figure, mark.Form the display unit 11 corresponding in the enter key 10 with each code.Display unit 11 is a plurality of corresponding to code.
Input media has a plurality of input patterns in order to import each code.Control module 7 switches input pattern according to running-active status.When enter key 10 was operated, operating unit 8 outputed to control module 7 with code signal.Control module 7 is judged code according to input pattern from code signal.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, an enter key 10 has under the situation of two codes such as numeral and English character, forms the 1st display unit 11a that retouches numeral and the 2nd display unit 11b that retouches English character in the enter key 10.Control module 7 switches to be confirmed as the code of being imported the digital input pattern of numeral and the code of being imported is confirmed as the alphabetical input pattern of English character.When digital input pattern, control module 7 will be judged as numeral from the input of enter key 10.And when alphabetical input pattern, control module 7 will be judged as English character from the input of enter key 10.
The user wants under the situation of input digit, and is as shown in Figure 3, and the user operated the enter key 10 of expectation when enter key was blue.It is digital input pattern that control module 7 identifies, thereby is judged as the code of numeral.Want under the situation of input alphabet, as shown in Figure 4, the user operated the enter key 10 of expectation when enter key 10 was yellow.It is alphabetical input pattern that control module 7 identifies, thereby is judged as the code of English character.
Like this, enter key 10 becomes the state corresponding to input pattern.User's a glance just understands import which code.On the other hand, the third party can know operated enter key 10, but is unlikely to understand the code of being imported.Therefore, user's operability is become well, can improve security simultaneously.
As other forms of enter key 10, variable cell makes a part of variable of enter key 10.That is, make the state of display unit 11 of a part that constitutes enter key 10 variable.For example, like Fig. 5 and shown in Figure 6, make the color changeable of the display unit 11 of enter key 10 according to input pattern.Say that at length when digital input pattern, the color that is provided with the display unit 11a that closes numeral is for red, the color that is provided with the display unit 11b that closes English character is a black.When alphabetical input pattern, the color that is provided with the display unit 11b that closes English character is for red, and the color that is provided with the display unit 11a that closes numeral is a black.
Here, the demonstration of report key 9 should not sniffed by the third party.For example, sniffed report during key 9, owing to understand it is the input of under which pattern, carrying out, so think and perceived password by the third party.Therefore, this report key 9 is shown as the appearance littler than enter key 10 in the lower left of picture unit 9a.The user can hide report key 9 through the hand of oneself.Thus, can prevent to be known input pattern by the third party.
The switching of input pattern is to carry out in predetermined timing.Control module 7 usefulness timers measure the time, when having passed through the stipulated time, switch input pattern.Therefore, the user need accomplish input in official hour.But the third party is difficult to understand current input pattern.
If consider user convenience property, preferably the user is at random switched input pattern.Therefore, like Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, control module 7 drive controlling display device 9 make the variable switch key 12 of state of enter key 10 with formation.Switch key 12 is the color and the character of the expression input pattern different with current input pattern.When digital input pattern, as shown in Figure 9, switch key 12 is English character and is yellow.When alphabetical input pattern, shown in figure 10, switch key 12 is numeral and is blueness.
When the user operated switch key 12, control module 7 switched input pattern.Meanwhile, change the state of enter key 10.In addition, switch key 12 is become the input pattern that is used for other.
As other forms of enter key 10, shown in figure 11, units of variance can be changed into all different state of each enter key 10.The color of the enter key 10 of a part is made as the blueness corresponding to digital input pattern, the color of remaining enter key 10 is made as the yellow corresponding to alphabetical input pattern.At this moment, control module 7 will be judged as numeral from the code signal of blue enter key 10, will be judged as English character from the code signal of yellow enter key 10.Thus, control module 7 can be imported two kinds of codes and needn't switch input pattern through switch key 12.
At this moment, the user can import two kinds of codes.That is, also can input digit and English character even do not switch input pattern.Therefore, mixing as password under the situation of English character and numeral, can shorten input time.The user can operate enter key 10 and time of not stealing a glance to the third party.
In addition, the color of the color of enter key 10 or display unit 11 is to be set at random by control module 7.At this moment, control module 7 shows report key 10.In addition, also can come setpoint color by the such user of supvr with authority.
Input media in this embodiment is installed in the image processing apparatus.When duplicating confidential document kind etc. and have only the original copy that particular user could duplicate, the user enters password for utilizing authentication.At first, if control module 7 detects the operation input of beginning authentication from user's password, then show password input picture.At this moment, the user selects input pattern according to the code of input.Selected the user under the situation of digital input pattern, units of variance is shown as blueness with enter key 10.Selected the user under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, units of variance is shown as yellow with enter key 10.
Mix under the situation of input digit and English character, the user operates switch key 12 according to the code of input.Control module 7 switches input pattern, changes the state of enter key 10.
When the user had imported password, control module 7 was discerned password based on the code of being imported.Control module 7 judges that the password imported is whether consistent with the password that registered in advance.If unanimity then authentication is a particular user, and allow to duplicate.Under the inconsistent situation of password, be judged as and be not particular user, through forbidding duplicating after display device 9 these intentions of report.
[second embodiment]
Input media based on description of drawings second embodiment of the present invention.Input media in this embodiment is installed in the user and operates in the electronic equipment of input.Electronic equipment is an image processing apparatus; Shown in figure 12, have: the guidance panel 2 of the input of read image fetching unit that original copy comes input image data, accepting the user, print the image formation unit 3 of the view data of being imported, the storage unit 4 formed by the hard disk unit of preserving view data, carry out the communication unit 6 of data communication and the control module of forming by the CPU of the control of serving as device integral body 7 with external unit.
Image fetching unit has the function of the image data input unit part of input image data, comprises imaging apparatus such as CCD and is used for detecting the original detection sensor that is placed on the original copy on document board and the automatic manuscript handling device (ADF).The view data of the image that reads through CCD outputs to image formation unit 3.
In addition, communication unit 6 receives view data and imports from external device (ED)s such as exterior terminal and facsimile units.In addition, when external device (ED) had been imported view data, communication unit 6 was also accepted the input of operation indication simultaneously.And then communication unit 6 is carried out the processing of image data transmission to external device (ED), thereby has the function of processing element.
Image processing apparatus comprises the authentication ' unit 1 that is used for authenticated.When the user entered password with authentication information such as ID by the enter key 10 of operating unit 8 and picture unit 9a, authentication ' unit 1 was based on the authentication information authenticated of being imported.Registered in advance user's authentication information among the admin table 4a.Authentication ' unit 1 is compared the authentication information of authentication information of being imported and registration, thereby confirms whether be the user who is registering.Through confirming it is that the user who registers comes authenticated.In addition, authentication information is not limited to directly imported by the user, also can be biological informations such as the authentication information that reads from storage mediums such as IC-cards or fingerprint.At this moment, image processing apparatus comprises the reading device of communication interfaces such as USB and biological information.
Shown in figure 13, enter key 10 has a plurality of codes.That is, enter key 10 can be used a different code of button input.In addition, code is meant character informations such as English character, hiragana, katakana, numeral, figure, mark.Form the display unit 11 corresponding in the enter key 10 with each code.Display unit 11 is a plurality of corresponding to code.
The input media that is installed in the described image processing apparatus is made up of input block and control module 7; Wherein input block comprises enter key 10, communication unit 6 and the communication interface etc. of operating unit 8, picture unit 9a, and control module 7 outputs to operational order according to input operation the each several part of image processing apparatus.
Here, input block has the 1st input block and the 2nd input block that is used to carry out input operation then that is used to carry out initial input operation.And input media comprises the identifying unit 5 of the input content of judging the 1st input block, and based on the change unit 13 of the state of input content alteration the 2nd input block.
The 1st input block and the 2nd input block are enter key 10.Identifying unit 5 and change unit 13 move according to control module 7, the input content that identifying unit 5 detects through the input operation of enter key 10, thus infer the input content of passing through enter key 10 that then will be transfused to operation.Based on the input content from enter key 10, what kind of processing judgement will carry out, and be associated with this processing, infer input content then.Change unit 13 is based on the input content of being inferred and control drive unit, the state of change enter key 10.Through this change, when the user operates enter key 10, can guide this input operation and do not waste time.
The state of enter key 10 is formed on the display unit 11 of enter key 10 through change and is changed.That is, for by each code of enter key 10 input, and have a plurality of input patterns.Control module 7 switches input pattern according to running-active status.When enter key 10 was operated, picture unit 9 outputed to control module 7 with code signal.Control module 7 is judged code according to input pattern from code signal.
Specifically, shown in figure 13, when an enter key 10 has 3 codes of numeral and English character, form the 1st display unit 11a, the 2nd display unit 11b that retouches English character and the 3rd display unit 11c that retouches numeral in the enter key 10.Here, the 2nd display unit 11b is the up code of putting down in writing of enter key 10.The 3rd display unit 11c is the descending code of putting down in writing of enter key 10.
As initial input operation, when enter key 10 had been imported user's authentication information, the state of enter key 10 was changed corresponding to the user of 1 authentication of authentication ' unit.In this case, identifying unit 5 is discerned processed content by the authentication information of being imported, and predicts the code that then is transfused to.Then, control module 7 is controlled, to change the state of enter key 10 corresponding to the code of prediction.
Like Figure 14 and shown in Figure 15, change the part of enter key 10 according to user by 1 authentication of authentication ' unit.That is, change the code of enter key 10 according to the user of institute's authentication, change simultaneously constitutes the state of display unit 11 of the part of enter key 10.
For example; When the password of inferring as the authentication information that then is transfused to has ' A1345 ' and ' 1345A ' etc. two; As shown in Figure 2; Usually ' A ' and ' 1 ' is assigned to identical enter key 10, so the operation that control module 7 can't be differentiated from enter key 10 is the input of ' A ' or ' 1 ' input.Therefore, change the state of display unit 11 of code and relevant this code of enter key 10 according to the password of being predicted.
Shown in figure 14; The distribution of the up English character ' B ' of the enter key 10 that the up English character ' A ' of the enter key 10 that the change left column is the most up and central array are the most up; The display unit 11b of the up English character of simultaneously that relevant left column is the most up enter key 10 changes to ' B ', and the display unit 11b of the up English character of the enter key 10 that relevant central array is the most up changes to ' A '.Thus, control module 7 can judges have been imported ' A ' and has still been imported ' 1 '.Which password the user can confirm to import clearly.Can reduce the users' such as key errors of enter key 10 input operation error.
As other password; For example be under the situation of ' W0123 ' and ' 0123W '; Shown in figure 15; The distribution of the descending English character ' X ' of the enter key 10 that the descending English character ' W ' of the enter key 10 that the change central array is the most descending and right row are the most descending; The display unit 11c of the descending English character of simultaneously that relevant central array is the most descending enter key 10 changes to ' X ', and the display unit 11c of the descending English character of the enter key 10 that relevant right row are the most descending changes to ' W '.In addition, also can change, replace the demonstration of enter key 10 being changed according to the initial character of password according to the end character of password.
Thus and thus, predict the then code of input according to the authentication information of input earlier, the state of enter key 10 is changed along with this code.At this moment, 10 display unit 11 is good in 13 changes adjacent input in change unit.Therefore, the user need not to search change code where.On the other hand, the third party can know operated enter key 10, but is unlikely to understand the code of being imported.Therefore, user's operability is become well, can improve security simultaneously.
In addition, as other change forms of enter key 10, the integral body of change enter key 10.To shown in Figure 180, change the color of each enter key 10 like Figure 16 according to input pattern.For example, shown in figure 16 during digital input pattern, the color of establishing enter key 10 is for blue.The user operates desired enter key 10.It is digital input pattern that control module 7 identifies, and is judged as the code of numeral.During up alphabetical input pattern, shown in figure 17, the color of establishing enter key 10 is for yellow.The user operates desired enter key 10.It is up alphabetical input pattern that control module 7 identifies, and is judged as the code of the up English character that is enter key 10.During descending alphabetical input pattern, shown in figure 18, the color of establishing enter key 10 is a pink colour.The user operates desired enter key 10.It is descending alphabetical input pattern that control module 7 identifies, and is judged as the code of the descending English character that is enter key 10.
Thus and thus, enter key 10 becomes the state corresponding to input pattern.User's a glance just understands import which code, and operability improves.On the other hand, the third party can know operated enter key 10, but is unlikely to understand the code of being imported.
As other change forms of enter key 10, the part of change unit 13 change enter keies 10.That is the state of the display unit 11 of change enter key 10.For example, change the color of the display unit 11 of enter key 10 according to input pattern.Shown in figure 19, under the situation of digital input pattern, the color of the display unit 11a of relevant numeral is made as redness, the display unit 11b of relevant up and descending English character, the color of 11c are made as black.Shown in figure 20, under the situation of up alphabetical input pattern, the color of the display unit 11b of relevant up English character is made as redness, the display unit 11a of relevant numeral and descending English character, the color of 11c are made as black.Shown in figure 21, under the situation of descending alphabetical input pattern, the color of the display unit 11c of relevant descending English character is made as redness, the display unit 11a of relevant numeral and descending English character, the color of 11b are made as black.
Thus and thus, when having a plurality of input pattern, control module 7 comprises to user report it being the reporting unit of which input pattern.Reporting unit is reported through showing current input pattern.Reporting unit drive controlling display device 9 is to show the report key of representing input pattern in picture unit.Through this report key, it is now that the user can easily identify for which input pattern.
Here, the demonstration of report key should not sniffed by the third party.For example, sniffed report during key, owing to understand it is the input of under which pattern, carrying out, so think and perceived password by the third party.Therefore, this report key is shown as the appearance littler than enter key 10 in the lower left of picture unit.The user can hide the report key through the hand of oneself.Thus, can prevent to be known input pattern by the third party.
When the password of a plurality of codes has been made up in input, carry out the switching of input pattern in predetermined timing.To shown in Figure 24, control module 7 drive controlling display device 9 are with the switch key 12 of the state that is formed for changing enter key 10 like Figure 22.Switch key 12 is the color and the character of the expression input pattern different with current input pattern.Now, shown in figure 22 when digital input pattern, will be made as yellow for the switch key 12 of up English character, will be made as blueness for the switch key 12 of descending English character.When the letter mode of the up English character of input, shown in figure 23, will be made as blueness for the switch key 12 of descending English character, will be made as pink colour for the switch key 12 of digital input pattern.When the alphabetical input pattern of the descending English character of input, shown in figure 24, will be made as yellow for the switch key 12 of up English character, will be made as pink colour for the switch key 12 of digital input pattern.
When the user operated switch key 12, control module 7 switched input pattern.Meanwhile, change the state of enter key 10.In addition, switch key 12 is changed into be used for other input pattern.
In said input media, when carrying out two stages authentications, the state through enter key 10 is changed, and the user can successfully operate.Shown in figure 25, the user at first imports the 1st password.Authentication ' unit 1 confirms that the authentication information of being imported is password (S1).When the authentication information of being stored in the 1st password and storage unit 4 is inconsistent (S2), control module 7 shows it and urges the message of input once more.Imported N time also can't the situation of authentication under, in display unit 9, show alert message (S4).
In the time of can authenticated, make it show input picture (S5) then.At this moment, shown in figure 26, confirm the user (S11) of institute's authentication, and predict input content (S12) then.Here, import the 2nd password, therefore change the state (S13) of the code of enter key 10 based on this password.
For example, change enter key 10 display unit 11 arrangement and show (S14).User enter password (S15).When a character imported in password (S16), change unit 13 codes according to then input change enter key 10 (S17).
When the user has imported password, confirm the password of being imported (S18, S5).The 2nd password allows the user to utilize image processing apparatus (S9) during by authentication (S6).Imported N password also can't authentication the time (S7), the user's who forbids being allowed by the 1st password use shows alert message (S8) simultaneously in display unit 9.
As the situation of carrying out such two stages authentication, in the 1st authentication, confirm the group under the user such as department.In the 2nd authentication, confirm individual subscriber.Perhaps, in the 1st authentication, confirm the user.In the 2nd authentication, judge processing such as to carry out duplicating and scanning.For example, when carrying out the processing to secret article, if importing the 2nd password does not then limit, can't carry out processing.Even the 1st password leaks, also can prevent the leakage of confidential information through the 2nd password.
In addition, the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, and it is natural can increasing a lot of corrections and change above-mentioned embodiment within the scope of the invention.Among the present invention,, specifically, be that the guidance panel with image processing apparatus is illustrated, but be not limited thereto with the input media of entering password.For example; Can use at needs to have in whole electronic equipments of the input media of entering password, input media comprises the input media of uses such as FAX number of the other side place of being used for importing input when sending FAX or calling, the facsimile unit of phone number, phone, mobile phone, cash dispenser, automatic cash deposit and withdrawal machine.Thus, personal information can not sniffed by the third party.

Variable cell also can make pattern, the shape variable of enter key.Specifically, in enter key, when the pattern, under the situation of digital input pattern, the pattern of enter key is made as netted pattern.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the pattern of enter key is made as spot shape pattern.When enter key is formed in the picture unit, under the situation of digital input pattern, the shape of enter key is made as quadrangle.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the shape of enter key is made as circle.
Variable cell also can make the shape variable of the display unit of enter key according to input pattern.Specifically, under the situation of digital input pattern, the shape of the display unit of relevant numeral is made as italic or boldface type etc.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the shape of the display unit of relevant English character is made as italic or boldface type etc.
As a part of variable form that makes enter key, units of variance only is made as the part of enter key and other part different state.For example, only can enumerate out that with enter key one jiao changes color, changes shape, additional pattern etc.
Enter key is not limited to as touch pad, be formed in the picture unit, also can be hard manual.In this case, enter key is illuminated.The display units such as character that are formed on enter key surface are shone into color arbitrarily.Should throw light on through changing, and can make the state of enter key variable.Enter key also can have the code more than 3.In this case, input pattern also becomes more than 3.
To report that key and switch key are integrated also passable as the report switch key.The report switch key is made as the state corresponding to current input pattern.The user can know input pattern through this report switch key.During user's operationral report switch key, input pattern will switch, and the state of enter key will change.Simultaneously, the report switch key also becomes the state corresponding to after changing input pattern.
As the 1st input block, also can adopt the reading device of communication interface such as USB or biological information, thereby replace the enter key of entering password.Through these, authentication information is transfused to.In addition; The 1st input block and the 2nd input block are not limited to import the enter key of characters such as hiragana and English character, also can be that duplicating key, the deposit key in the automatic teller machine and key of withdrawing the money etc. in the image processing apparatus are used to select the enter key handled.When having selected specific processing, handle the input of prediction password, the setting input grade in an imperial examination 2 input contents of treatment conditions according to this, thereby the state of enter key changes through the 1st input.For example, the color of specific enter key, shape etc. change, from a plurality of enter keies, to understand the enter key that can import.
The change unit also can change pattern, the shape of enter key.Specifically, in enter key, when the pattern, under the situation of digital input pattern, the pattern of enter key is made as netted pattern.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the pattern of enter key is made as spot shape pattern.When enter key is formed in the picture unit, under the situation of digital input pattern, the shape of enter key is made as quadrangle.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the shape of enter key is made as circle.
The change unit also can change the shape of the display unit of enter key according to input pattern.Specifically, under the situation of digital input pattern, the shape of the display unit of relevant numeral is made as italic or boldface type etc.Under the situation of alphabetical input pattern, the shape of the display unit of relevant English character is made as italic or boldface type etc.
As the form of a part that changes enter key, the change unit only is made as the part of enter key and other part different state.For example, only can enumerate out that with enter key one jiao changes color, changes shape, additional pattern etc.
The change unit also can come suitably change input pattern according to the input content of prior input.For example, be input as under the situation of ' A13B5 ', the change unit begins to be made as digital input pattern, changes to alphabetical input pattern after the input ' A '.Thus, when input had mixed the input informations such as password of numeral and English character, the user need not to switch one by one input pattern, therefore can successfully import operation.In addition, an enter key has a plurality of input codes, even if therefore sniffed by the third party, also can't identify the input content, thereby can improve security.
Enter key is not limited to as touch pad, be formed in the picture unit, also can be hard manual.In this case, enter key is illuminated.The display units such as character that are formed on enter key surface are shone into color arbitrarily.Should throw light on through changing, and can change the state of enter key.Enter key also can have the code more than 3.In this case, input pattern also becomes more than 3.
