5. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 4 wherein said sensors are built into said patient-positioning table.
6. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said sensors comprise photodiodes adapted to be covered by a patient on the patient-positioning table for determining said body length.
7. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said sensors comprises photosensitive barriers mounted laterally on said patient-positioning table for determining said body length.
8. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said sensors comprise temperature-measurement sensors in said patient-positioning table adapted to be covered by a patient on the patient-positioning table for determining said body length.
9. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said sensors comprise pressure sensors adapted to be covered by a patient on the patient-positioning table for determining said body length.
10. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein said sensors comprise induction loops in said patient-positioning table adapted to be covered by a patient on the patient-positioning table for determining said body length.
11. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising a pressure sensor in said patient-positioning table adapted to interact with a patient on the patient-positioning table for determining said weight, and for supplying said weight to said body mass index calculator.
12. An x-ray diagnostic apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said body mass index calculator comprises a communication interface to a hospital information system for automatically supplying data representing the body mass index, the body length and the weight of a patient on the patient-positioning table for inclusion in an electronic patient record of a patient on the patient-positioning table.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a first setting unit configured to set, in a case where a login request is received and authentication of a user is successful, a setting value of individual setting information for the user to setting information of the image forming apparatus based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the user; and
a second setting unit configured to set, in a case where a logout request is received, a setting value of common setting information to the setting information of the image forming apparatus based on common setting information,
wherein the second setting unit omits, in a case where a login request of a new user is received while the user is logged in, a process for setting the setting value of the common setting information to the setting information of the image forming apparatus based on the common setting information, and the first setting unit sets a setting value of individual setting information for the new user to the setting information of the image forming apparatus based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the new user.
2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first setting unit omits, in a case where the login request of the new user is received when the first setting unit performs setting of the setting value of the individual setting information for the user to the setting information of the image forming apparatus, a process for setting the setting value of the individual setting information for the user to the setting information of the image forming apparatus and sets, based on the individual setting information associated with the user identification information for identifying the new user, the setting value of the individual setting information for the new user to the setting information of the image forming apparatus.
3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setting information includes display language information.
4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setting information includes initial screen information.
5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setting information includes address book information.
6. An information processing method executed by an image forming apparatus comprising:
first-setting, in a case where a login request is received and authentication of a user is successful, a setting value of individual setting information for the user to setting information of the image forming apparatus based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the user; and
second-setting, in a case where a logout request is received, a setting value of common setting information to the setting information of the image forming apparatus based on common setting information,
wherein, in a case where a login request of a new user is received while the user is logged in, setting of the setting value of the common setting information to the setting information of the image forming apparatus based on the common setting information is omitted in the second-setting, and a setting value of individual setting information for the new user is set to the setting information of the image forming apparatus in the first-setting based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the new user.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for causing a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
first-setting, in a case where a login request is received and authentication of a user is successful, a setting value of individual setting information for the user to setting information of the computer based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the user; and
second-setting, in a case where a logout request is received, a setting value of common setting information to the setting information of the computer based on common setting information,
wherein, in a case where a login request of a new user is received while the user is logged in, setting of the setting value of the common setting information to the setting information of the computer based on the common setting information is omitted in the second-setting, and a setting value of individual setting information for the new user is set to the setting information of the computer in the first-setting based on individual setting information associated with user identification information for identifying the new user.
