Abstract
Abstract An information processing apparatus for executing a plurality of information processing, the apparatus comprises device for storing format information about the contents of instructions to execute at least one of the plurality of information processes, function for printing the format information stored in the storing device and first code information for judging permission to execute the information processing on a sheet, function for reading the sheet printed by the printing function for inputting the contents of instructions required to be executed on the information processing apparatus, input function for inputting second code information when the reading function reads the sheet, function for collating the first code information printed on the sheet by the printing function with the second code information input by the input function, and function for permitting the execution of a process corresponding to the contents of instructions printed on the sheet read by the sheet reading function on the basis of the collation result at the collating function.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
An information processing apparatus for executing a plurality of information processing, said apparatus comprising: means for storing format information which defines contents of instructions to execute at least one of the plurality of information processes; means for printing the format information stored in the storing means and first code information for judging permission to execute the information processing on a sheet; means for reading the sheet printed by said printing means for inputting the contents of instructions required to be executed on said information processing apparatus; means for inputting second code information when said reading means reads the sheet on which the format information is printed by said printing means; means for collating the first code information printed on the sheet by said printing means with the second code information input by said input means; and means for permitting the execution of information process corresponding to the contents of instructions printed on the sheet read by said sheet reading means on the basis of the collation result at said collating means, wherein said printing means contains first conversion means for converting said first code information into first ciphered information, second conversion means for converting the first ciphered information converted by the first conversion means into pattern information; and means for printing the pattern information converted by the second conversion means on said sheet.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
223 words
An information processing apparatus for executing a plurality of information processing, said apparatus comprising: means for storing format information which defines contents of instructions to execute at least one of the plurality of information processes; means for printing the format information stored in the storing means and first code information for judging permission to execute the information processing on a sheet; means for reading the sheet printed by said printing means for inputting the contents of instructions required to be executed on said information processing apparatus; means for inputting second code information when said reading means reads the sheet on which the format information is printed by said printing means; means for collating the first code information printed on the sheet by said printing means with the second code information input by said input means; and means for permitting the execution of information process corresponding to the contents of instructions printed on the sheet read by said sheet reading means on the basis of the collation result at said collating means, wherein said printing means contains first conversion means for converting said first code information into first ciphered information, second conversion means for converting the first ciphered information converted by the first conversion means into pattern information; and means for printing the pattern information converted by the second conversion means on said sheet.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first conversion means contains means for performing a ciphering operation by converting said first code information into bits of information and changing the order of bits in the information in a specified sequence.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
74 words
An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said collating means contains third conversion means for converting the pattern information read by said reading means into the first ciphered information, fourth conversion means for converting the second code information input by said input means into second ciphered information, and means for comparing the first ciphered information converted by said third converting means with the second ciphered information converted by said fourth conversion means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
57 words
An information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said collating means contains fifth conversion means for converting the second code information input from said input means into pattern information and means for comparing the pattern information converted by the fifth conversion means with the pattern information indicating the first code information read by said reading means.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
182 words
A method of processing data for executing a plurality of information processing, said apparatus comprising the steps of: storing format information which defines the contents of instructions to execute at least one of the plurality of information processes; converting first code information into first ciphered information; converting the first ciphered information into pattern information; printing the format information stored at the storing step and the pattern information for judging permission to execute the information processing on a sheet; reading the sheet printed at the printing step for inputting the contents of instructions required to be executed on said information processing apparatus; inputting second code information when the sheet is read at the reading step on which the format information is printed at the printing step; collating the first code information printed on the sheet at the printing step with the second code information input at the input step; and permitting the execution of information process corresponding to the contents of instructions printed on the sheet read at the sheet reading step on the basis of the collation result at the collating step.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
182 words
A method of processing data for executing a plurality of information processing, said apparatus comprising the steps of: storing format information which defines the contents of instructions to execute at least one of the plurality of information processes; converting first code information into first ciphered information; converting the first ciphered information into pattern information; printing the format information stored at the storing step and the pattern information for judging permission to execute the information processing on a sheet; reading the sheet printed at the printing step for inputting the contents of instructions required to be executed on said information processing apparatus; inputting second code information when the sheet is read at the reading step on which the format information is printed at the printing step; collating the first code information printed on the sheet at the printing step with the second code information input at the input step; and permitting the execution of information process corresponding to the contents of instructions printed on the sheet read at the sheet reading step on the basis of the collation result at the collating step.
