A user who instructs execution of reading of a paper document in which workflow information is embedded is authenticated (S801). The workflow information contains responsible person information and the process order of the steps of a workflow. The workflow information is extracted from the obtained read image (S804). Based on the responsible person information and the process order in the extracted workflow information and authentication information used to authenticate the user, the current step of the workflow of the read paper document is determined (S806).
