The present invention relates to a technique for inputting an instruction to a device via a printed material.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of digital cameras in recent years, an apparatus for printing an image captured by a digital camera has been increasingly installed in a home appliance store or a convenience store.
[0003]
This type of device includes a card reader that reads a memory card storing a captured image, displays a thumbnail of each image stored in the memory card on a touch panel screen, and displays an image selected by the user on the touch panel screen. Is generally printed. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been seen an example in which a memory card reader is provided in a digital multifunction peripheral installed in a convenience store or the like so as to correspond to a digital camera photograph print.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional digital photo printing apparatus, when the number of images stored in the memory card increases, all of them cannot be displayed on the screen at once. For this reason, the user has to perform a complicated operation of finding and selecting a desired image by switching the screen or scrolling the screen. This problem is exacerbated in the case of a device having a display having a relatively small area in order to reduce the cost of the device.
[0007]
Some of these devices provide various functions such as an index print (list print of thumbnail images) function and a date print function. As the number of functions increases, the size of the menu for selecting functions increases.Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to use a user interface that reaches individual functions by arranging the menus in a hierarchical structure and tracing the menus in each hierarchy in order. Many. In this case, the operation tends to be complicated, for example, it is necessary to switch the menu several times to select one function. Also, in this case, in many cases, the user does not know the existence of a function that is not displayed unless the user goes to a lower hierarchy, and the precious function may not be fully utilized.
[0008]
On the other hand, in the case of the conventional systems shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since a form printed on paper is used, the area restriction is smaller than in the case of screen display. However, in the conventional system, one form corresponds to only one process, and the user can only select an object to be processed from each reduced image shown in the form. . When performing another process, a form corresponding to the process had to be obtained.
[0009]
As described above, in each of the prior arts, a processing target is selected from a large number of contents such as photographic images, and an actual processing function is selected from a large number of processing functions applicable to the selected content. When such an operation is performed, a complicated operation is required.

[0013]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as embodiments) will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014]
Hereinafter, a description will be given of a system configuration in a case where the present invention is applied to an image forming apparatus that provides a print service of a photograph or a document to a user.
[0015]
In the system according to the present invention, a command sheet 100 as shown in FIG. 1 is provided to the user. The command sheet 100 is obtained by printing a list 110 of contents as print target candidates and a list 120 of commands applicable to the contents on a sheet medium such as paper.
[0016]
The content list 110 shows, for each content, a representative image 112 indicating the content, a character string of the name 114 of the content, and an embedding code 116 uniquely indicating the content.
[0017]
The command list 120 shows, for each command, a character string of the command name 122 and an embedded code 124 that uniquely indicates the command. The displayed command group includes a command used to start the selection of the content to be printed 130, a command used to deselect the content 132, and a command group for setting print conditions for the selected content. In this example, the printing condition setting command group includes, for each type of content printing form such as “print one sheet”, “print full paper”, “print two, four, eight sheets”. A type-specific condition column 140 is provided, and a command group applicable to the type is listed in each type-specific condition column 140. Note that, in the example of FIG. 1, a photographic image taken by a digital camera is taken as the content, and therefore, the type of printing mode is also compatible with photographic printing.
[0018]
In the example of FIG. 1, the embed codes 116 and 124 are arranged so as to overlap the names 114 and 122 of the corresponding contents and commands. Such an embedded code to be superimposed on a character string or an image can be realized by using, for example, an embedded code technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-135556 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-177712 by the present applicant. By superimposing the embed codes 116 and 124 on the content names and command names, the correspondence between them can be easily understood by the user, and the number of commands and contents that can be arranged on the sheet surface can be increased. The embedding codes 116 and 124 are not limited to those described above, and may be displayed in parallel with contents and commands by using barcodes and the like that have been widely used.
[0019]
The user reads the desired content or command embedded code 116 or 124 on the command sheet 100 with a hand-held scanner attached to the print service apparatus of the present embodiment, and selects the content or command for the print service apparatus. Can be indicated.
[0020]
Next, a system configuration for creating and using the command sheet 100 will be described with reference to FIG. What is exemplified here is a system for printing services such as various types of image data such as digital photographs and text data, drawings, spreadsheets and other document data created by various applications.
[0021]
This system includes a command sheet creation device 10 that creates a command sheet 100, and a print service device 20 that can be operated using the command sheet 100. The command sheet creation device 10 and the print service device 20 are installed in, for example, a mass retailer or a convenience store. The functions of the command sheet creation device 10 and the print service device 20 can be incorporated into one device.
[0022]
The command sheet creation device 10 includes a reader / writer 11, a display 12, an input unit 13, a printing unit 14, a control unit 15, and a file / command correspondence information storage unit 16.
[0023]
The reader / writer 11 is a device for reading and writing data to and from a memory card 200 (for example, a device having a built-in flash memory) that stores files of image data and document data. The display 12 is a display device that displays a user interface screen. The input unit 13 is a mechanism for inputting various instructions to the command sheet creation device 10. As the input unit 13, a mechanical mechanism such as a numeric keypad or a button can be used. The display 12 may be a touch panel type, and GUI (graphical user interface) components such as icons and buttons displayed on the screen may be used as the input unit 13. The printing unit 14 is a mechanism for printing the command sheet 100 created by the user with the device 10 on paper. The control unit 15 is a unit that controls the operation of each unit of the apparatus 10 and has a function of providing a user with an editing environment of the command sheet 100. The file / command correspondence information storage unit 16 stores, for each file type of content, information for determining a command applicable to that type.
[0024]
The print service device 20 includes a card reader 21, a display 22, a hand-held scanner 23, a printing unit 24, and a control unit 25.
[0025]
The card reader 21 is a device for reading data from a memory card 200 storing a file of image data and document data. The display 22 is a display device that displays a user interface screen. The hand-held scanner 23 is a scanner that scans commands and contents embedded codes 116 and 124 printed on the command sheet 100 by scanning with infrared light or the like. The printing unit 24 is a printing mechanism that prints images and documents on paper. The control unit 25 is a unit that controls the operation of each unit of the device 20 and has a function of providing an instruction input environment using the command sheet 100 to the user.
[0026]
Next, a procedure from creation of the command sheet 100 by this system to printing operation using the sheet 100 will be described.
[0027]
First, with reference to FIG. 3, a process of creating the command sheet 100 by the command sheet creating apparatus 10 will be described.
[0028]
When the user wants to create a command sheet 100 for instructing printing of the content (image, document, or the like) owned by the user, the user attaches the memory card 200 storing the file of the content to the reader / writer 11 of the command creation device 10. Thereby, the creation processing of the command sheet 100 is started.
[0029]
The operation performed by the user in the creation process can be roughly divided into a phase for selecting content to be posted on the sheet 100 and a phase for selecting a command to be posted.
[0030]
First, in the content selection phase, the control unit 15 displays a list of the contents in the memory card 200 on the display 12 as selection targets (S10). In this list display, for example, a representative image of each content, a file name, or both are displayed in a list. When the content is an image, the representative image is, for example, a thumbnail image thereof. When the content is a document, the representative image is a reduced image of a predetermined representative page (for example, a first page) of the document, an icon representing the document, or the like.
[0031]
Here, the files in the memory card 200 may form a hierarchical directory structure. In this case, for example, the top-level content and folder may be first displayed on the display 12, and then the folders selected by the user may be opened in order to display the contents and folders therein. When the user arrives at a desired folder by such an operation, the user selects a content to be posted on the command sheet 100 from a group of contents in the folder (S12). If a touch panel type is used as the display 12, by touching the representative image or the file name area of the content displayed on the display 12 with a finger, the content can be selected or the selected content can be selected. You can cancel it.
[0032]
When the selection of the group of contents to be published on the sheet 100 is completed by such an operation, the process proceeds to the selection phase of the group of commands that can be designated when the contents are printed out.
[0033]
In the command selection phase, the control unit 15 displays a list of command names and icons of all commands applicable to the content group selected in the content selection phase on the display 12 as selection candidates (S14). The user selects a command to be posted on the sheet 100 from the command group listed in step S14 (S16). If a touch panel type display is used as the display 12, selection or cancellation of a command can be performed by touching the displayed command name or icon with a finger as in the case of the content.
[0034]
In the command group list display of step S14, as shown in the example of the command sheet in FIG. 1, for example, by displaying each command in a form arranged for each type of printing form, the user can easily select. As a selection method in this case, first, a list of applicable types is displayed, and the user is allowed to select a type to be published from the list. Further, a command group corresponding to the type selected by the user is displayed and a list is displayed. From the user, the user can select a necessary command. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which the user is allowed to select an unnecessary command from the command group corresponding to the type selected by the user, and remove the selected command. Here, an example in which the command group is arranged according to the type of the content print form is shown, but the system of command arrangement is not limited to the print form, and another viewpoint can be used.
[0035]
When providing the user interface for command selection in step S14, the control unit 15 specifies a command group applicable to the selected content group with reference to the file / command correspondence information storage unit 16. That is, the file / command correspondence information storage unit 16 stores, for each file type of content, information for specifying a command group applicable to the file type (for example, information indicating each command applicable to the file type). , Or a condition to be satisfied by the applicable command), the control unit 15 obtains the file type of the content group selected in step S12, and stores the command group applicable to the file type in the file format. It is specified based on the information in the command correspondence information storage unit 16. The file type of the content can be obtained from the extension of the file name, file type information included in the file, and the like.
[0036]
Here, when a plurality of contents having different file types are selected as publication targets in step S12, in this step S14, the control unit 15 arranges the command group for each of the file types and displays the list. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which receives the selection of the command published for every classification.
[0037]
The user can perform the command selection in step S16 by using the user interface for such a command selection.
[0038]
When the content group and the command group to be posted on the command sheet 100 are selected in this way, the control unit 15 generates an embedded code of each content and each command (S18). As the embed code, the print service device 20 that interprets the embed code generates a content or command having a value that can be uniquely identified. In the system of FIG. 2, the print service device 20 prints the content stored in the memory card 200, so that any embedded code may be used as long as the content can be uniquely identified in the memory card 200. In contrast, in the case of a system configuration in which the content is uploaded to a server on the network and the print service device 20 acquires the content from the server and prints the content, the embedding is performed so that the content can be uniquely identified on the network. Create code. Note that commands are often fixed, unlike contents. Therefore, an embedded code of a command is created in advance and stored in the command sheet creating apparatus 10, and a command corresponding to a command selected by a user is stored. A method of reading and using is preferable.
[0039]
In the process of step S18, an embedded code indicating the content or the command is generated, and a code management table indicating the correspondence between the code and the content or the command is also generated. FIG. 4 shows an example of the code management table.
[0040]
The code management table in FIG. 4 includes a command section in which a command embed code is registered and a content section in which a content embed code is registered. In the command section, for each command selected by the user, a command identifier of the command and a value of an embedded code corresponding to the command are registered. In the content part, for each content selected by the user, content reference information indicating the storage location of the content and the value of the embed code corresponding to the content are registered.
[0041]
Here, the command identifier is an identifier used for command identification in the print service device 20. Further, as the content reference information, a path name of the content in the memory card 200, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the content on the network, or the like can be used. Note that the content reference information is not limited to these, and any information may be used as long as the print service device 20 can access the content using the reference information.
[0042]
When the embedded code of each command is uniformly defined in advance in the system and is used by the command sheet creation device 10 or the print service device 20, the code management table only needs to be information on the content. .
[0043]
When the embedded code is generated in step S18, next, the data of the command sheet 100 is created and printed out on paper, and the code management table is stored in the memory card 200 set in the reader / writer 11. (S20). In creating the command sheet 100, a representative image, a name, and an embedding code of each content and command selected by the user are arranged in a paper size area.
[0044]
By such processing, the command sheet 100 as shown in FIG. 1 is printed out.
[0045]
FIG. 5 shows an example of a command sheet in which commands to be posted are narrowed down from the command sheet 100 of FIG. In the example of FIG. 1, six type-specific condition columns 140 are shown, whereas in the example of FIG. 5, two of them are narrowed down. This narrowing is performed by the selection in step S16.
[0046]
FIG. 6 shows an example of a command sheet in which two types of contents having different file types are posted. In this example, the content list 110 includes content 150 of a digital image in JPEG format and document content 160 in HTML format. On the other hand, the command list 120 includes a type-specific condition column 140a indicating a command group corresponding to an HTML document and a type-specific condition column 140b indicating a command group suitable for a JPEG image.
[0047]
The user brings the command sheet 100 created in this way and the corresponding memory card 200 to the print service device 20, and performs an operation input to the print service device 20 using the command sheet 100.
[0048]
The processing of the print service device 20 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0049]
When the user sets the memory card 200 in the card reader 21 of the print service device 20, the control unit 25 of the print service device 20 reads the code management table from the memory card 200, activates the hand-held scanner 23, and receives a message from the user. It is ready to receive instructions. The user holds the reading unit of the handheld scanner 23 over the desired content on the command sheet 100 or the embedded code of the command. Thereby, the hand-held scanner 23 reads the code (S30). The control unit 25 analyzes the image of the embedded code read by the scanner 23 to determine the value of the code, and refers to the code management table to determine content reference information or a command identifier corresponding to the code value (S32).
[0050]
As a result of step S32, if it is determined that the read embed code corresponds to the command indicating the content selection start 130 (see FIG. 1) (the determination result of S34 is Y), the control unit 25 shifts to the selection mode (S36). ), And returns to step S30 to wait until the next code is read. In this selection mode, when the embedded code read by the scanner 23 indicates a content, the control unit 25 recognizes that the content has been selected as a processing target by the user.
[0051]
As a result of the code identification in step S32, when it is determined that the read embed code corresponds to the command indicating the content selection cancellation 132 (see FIG. 1) (the determination result in S38 is Y), the control unit 25 shifts to the cancellation mode. Then, the process returns to step S30 and waits for the next code to be read. In the release mode, when the embedded code read by the scanner 23 indicates the content, the control unit 25 recognizes that the user has instructed to release the state in which the content has been selected as the processing target.
[0052]
As a result of the code identification in step S32, when the read embedded code is neither the selection start command nor the selection release command, the control unit 25 further determines whether the code indicates any of the content and the command (S42).
[0053]
When it is determined in step S42 that the code indicates the content (the determination result in S42 is Y), the control unit 25 further determines whether the current mode is the selection mode or the cancellation mode (S44). If it is determined that the mode is the selection mode, the control unit 25 registers the content reference information corresponding to the read code in a selected content list (not shown) as the one selected by the user (S46), and proceeds to step S30. Return and wait for the next code to be read. If the content reference information corresponding to the read code is already registered in the list, the registration is not performed again. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current mode is the release mode, the control unit 25 checks whether or not the content reference information corresponding to the read code is registered in the selected content list. If so, it is deleted from the list (S48), and the flow returns to step S30 to wait for the next code to be read.
[0054]
If it is determined in step S42 that the code corresponds to the command, the command is one of the printing condition setting commands shown in the type-specific condition column 140 (see FIG. 1). In this case, the control unit 25 checks whether a command identifier corresponding to the code is registered in a selected command list (not shown) storing the already selected command group (S50). In this inspection, if the command identifier is not registered in the list (the determination result in S50 is N), the command identifier is registered in the selected command list (S52), and the process returns to step S30 to read the next code. Wait for. On the other hand, if the command identifier is registered in the selected command list in the check in step S50 (the determination result in S50 is Y), the command identifier is deleted from the list (S54), and the process returns to step S30 to return to the next code. Wait for is read. As described above, with respect to the command for setting the printing conditions, each time the scanner 23 reads the embedded code, the state of the command is alternately switched between the selected state and the non-selected state.
[0055]
The user can use the input processing shown in FIG. 7 to input a group of contents to be printed and a group of commands for setting printing conditions at that time to the print service apparatus 20. After this input, when the user presses, for example, a start button provided in the print service device 20, the control unit 25 acquires the entity data of each content using the content reference information registered in the selected content list, The operation mode of each unit of the print service apparatus 20 is set according to the print condition setting command corresponding to each command identifier registered in the selected command list, and the contents are printed out under the setting.
[0056]
Instead of the start button, an embedded code corresponding to the print processing start command is printed on the command sheet 100, and the print processing is started when the embedded code is read by the scanner 23. .
[0057]
According to the system of the present embodiment described above, the user can instruct, from one command sheet 100, both the content to be printed and the command to be applied when printing the content. That is, on the command sheet 100, more contents and commands than the display screen can be displayed in a list, and various instructions can be input in an intuitive and easy-to-understand operation of selecting necessary items from the list. According to this system, it is possible to provide the same operability as a general user interface screen without requiring the user to perform complicated operations such as scrolling and screen switching of the user interface screen.
[0058]
Further, in the system of the present embodiment, print conditions that can be selected when printing the content posted on the command sheet 100 are listed on the command sheet 100, so that the user can perform printing condition setting using a general user interface screen. In contrast, the user can grasp selectable printing conditions without complicated operations such as screen switching.
[0059]
Further, according to the system of the present embodiment, once the user creates the command sheet 100 with the command sheet creating apparatus 10, the user can operate the print service apparatus 20 using the sheet 100 any number of times thereafter. Further, if the command sheet 100 and the data stored in the memory card 200 are copied and distributed, the distributed person can easily operate the print service apparatus 20 to print desired contents with desired print condition settings. Can be.
[0060]
In the example described above, the command sheet 100 is created by the command sheet creating apparatus 10 installed in the store. Alternatively, a system that provides the command sheet creation as a service via a network can be constructed. is there. In this case, for example, a server for this service is installed on the Internet, and the command sheet is provided from this server to the user as, for example, a Web service. The user accesses the server using a web browser of his / her personal computer and uploads a group of contents in the personal computer to the server. Then, the server provides the browser with a user interface screen for creating a command sheet as a web page in accordance with the same procedure as shown in FIG. 3, and the user uses the user interface screen to display content to be posted on the command sheet and content. Select a command. The server generates an embedded code corresponding to the content or command selected by the user, creates data of the command sheet 100 including the embedded code, and provides the data to the user's personal computer. The user obtains the command sheet 100 by printing this data with a printer. If the data is attached to an electronic mail or the like and distributed, the distributed one can print it on paper and take it to the print service device 20 to give a print instruction.
[0061]
Here, the server has the data of the content uploaded from the user and stores code management information indicating the correspondence between each embedded code displayed on the provided command sheet 100 and the content and the command. Therefore, in this case, the user need only go to the store print service apparatus 20 with only the command sheet 100 without having the memory card 200 storing the content. When the user reads the embedded code with the scanner 23, the print service device 20 specifies the content or command corresponding to the read code by accessing the code management information in the server, and specifies the user's instruction. recognize.
[0062]
As described above, the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described by taking the system for printing content as an example. The present invention can be applied to various apparatuses that perform processing.
