  Embodiments of a copying machine, a copying machine system, and a computer program according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, taking the copying machine as an example. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the copying machine 10 according to this embodiment. The copier 10 includes a CPU 11, a RAM 12 having a work memory 12a, a ROM 13 for storing various programs, a bus line 14, an input / output unit 15 (indicated as I / O in FIG. 1), a memory 16, and a communication interface 18 (in FIG. 1). And a reception buffer 17 for temporarily storing received data such as print control data.

  The ROM 13 stores a print control program 13a, a scanner control program 13b, a communication program 13c, and a copy control program 13d.

  The input / output unit 15 is an output means of the present invention including an operation panel 20 (see FIG. 2, details will be described later), a well-known inkjet printing mechanism, laser printing mechanism, thermal transfer printing mechanism, or dot impact printing mechanism. A scanner unit 24 or the like which is a reading unit of the present invention for reading a document including a printing unit 23 and an image sensor is connected as a control target. The operations of the printing unit 23 and scanner unit 24 are well known, and the corresponding print control program 13a, scanner control program 13b, and copy control program 13d stored in the ROM 13 are transferred to the CPU 11 serving as editing information application means of the present invention. Are controlled using the work memory 12 a of the RAM 12.

  In addition, the communication interface 18 which is an acquisition unit of the present invention includes a communication interface circuit for transmitting and receiving data and the like with a terminal device 30 (details will be described later) via a communication network 50 such as a LAN (Local Area Network). Is done. Transmission and reception of various data via the external communication network connected to the communication network 50 is performed by the CPU 11 executing the communication program 13c.

  The memory 16 is constituted by a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable & Programmable Read Only Memory), and stores data necessary for the operation of the copying machine 10.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the operation panel 20 of the copying machine 10. The operation panel 20 includes an editing information setting unit, an editing information editing unit, an editing mode switching unit, a paper designation unit, a confirmation designation unit, a page number designation unit, a copy number designation unit, a display unit 22, And a speaker 20a. The operation unit 21 uses a mechanical switch or the like, and includes a power button 21a for turning on / off the power of the copying machine 10, a cursor button 21b, a copy button 21c1, a scanner button 21c2, and other function buttons 21c3.

The driver circuit uses, for example, an active matrix driving method in which a transistor is attached to each pixel so that the target pixel can be surely turned on and off, and the display circuit and display screen data sent from the input / output unit 15 are used. Display based on. Further, an organic EL (ElectroLuminescence) display or a plasma display may be used as the display unit 22.

  Further, a touch panel integrated with the display unit 22 may be used as the operation unit 21. In the touch panel, an electric circuit is wired in a X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction through a gap called a spacer on a glass substrate and a transparent film on the screen of the display unit 22, and a pressed part when the user touches the film. Since the voltage value changes due to short-circuiting of the wiring, a so-called resistive film method of detecting this as a two-dimensional coordinate value (X, Y) is widely used. In addition, a so-called capacitance method may be used.

(Complex copy processing 1)
A complicated copy process for performing various processes on the read original and printing it out will be described with reference to FIGS. This process is included in the copy control program 13d and is repeatedly executed together with other processes of the copy control program 13d. First, when the copy button 21c1 is pressed to shift to the copy mode and then a menu key (not shown) (for example, may be assigned to 21c3) is pressed, detailed contents about the functions of the copier 10 are provided. A menu screen (not shown) for setting is displayed on the display unit 21. Then, the cursor button 21b of the operation unit 21 is operated to select the complex copy mode, which is the editing mode of the present invention, from a menu (not shown), and shift to the complex copy mode (S1: Yes). In addition, as a method for shifting to the complex copy mode, it may be configured to shift to the complex copy mode when the copy button 21c1 is pressed simultaneously with a predetermined key. A “complex copy” button for shifting to the mode may be set. In this case, the cursor button 21b, the copy button 21c1, and the one-touch button 21e are editing mode switching means of the present invention.

  When the complicated copy mode is entered, a screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 22 (S2). On this screen, a preview screen 22a for displaying image data of a document read by the scanner unit 24, a cursor pointer 22b operated by a cursor button 21b, a copy start button 22c for executing complicated copy, and an input or setting valid. OK button 22d for canceling, Cancel button 22e for invalidating input or setting, Edit menu selection screen 22f for editing image data displayed on the preview screen 22a, Parameter setting screen 22g corresponding to the edit menu screen 22f, setting contents A confirmation button 22h for confirming is displayed. In addition, parameters such as “monochrome”, “color”, and “mask” are prepared on the parameter setting screen 22g as edit items used in the complicated copy setting described later.

  Set the original for which you want to set up complex copy in the scanner unit 24, and click “Preview” from the selection items on the edit menu screen 22f with the cursor pointer 22b (if the display unit 22 includes a touch panel, press the preview button on the touch panel) If the one-touch button 21e of the operation unit 21 includes a preview button, the button may be used (the same applies hereinafter) (S3: Yes), and the document is read by the scanner unit 24, and the image data of the read document is displayed. It is displayed on the preview screen 22a (S4).

  In addition, as a method of scanning a document by "Preview", only a document to be set for complex copy is set on the document table in advance, and the document can be scanned or a plurality of documents to be scanned with the same complex copy. In some cases, a method may be considered in which a plurality of originals are set together and only the top one is read. Further, when reading a document in a preview, reading is performed at a lower resolution of the reading resolution levels of the scanner unit 24, the reading is completed in a short time, and image data is displayed on the preview screen 22a. This is because the complicated copy can be set if the general content of the original can be confirmed, and the entire time required for the preview is shortened by reading at a low resolution.

  Further, for example, when setting a complex copy for a standard document whose format is generally determined such as a resume (S3: No), it is not necessary to read the document and display a preview. Then, “standard” in the selection items on the edit menu screen 22f is clicked with the cursor pointer 22b (S5: Yes), and template editing processing (S6: details will be described later) is performed using the template of the standard document.

  If it is desired to end the complex copy mode before setting the complex copy, when the cancel button 22e is clicked (S16: Yes), a cancel process (described later) is performed and the complex copy mode is ended. (S15).

  Then, a complex copy setting process (S7: details will be described later) is performed on the image data displayed on the preview screen 22a. This complex copy setting process is performed for both the image data displayed on the preview screen 22a in a state where the document is read by the preview instruction and the image data displayed on the preview screen 22a after performing the template editing process. It is feasible. When the setting is completed and the confirmation button 22h is clicked (S8: Yes), the setting contents set so far are specifically displayed on the preview screen 22a or the parameter setting screen 22g (S9). For example, the area in which the mask is designated is displayed in a state where it is actually masked, or the area in which the color is designated is displayed in that color and displayed at a level at which it can be confirmed whether a desired setting has been made. If the desired setting has not been made (S10: No), the complicated copy setting process is performed again. Note that when the confirmation button 22h is clicked, a configuration may be adopted in which only one copy is actually output by the printing unit 23 based on the complicated copy setting performed in step S7.

  When it is confirmed that the desired setting has been made, the OK button 22d is clicked. When the OK button 22d is clicked (S10: Yes), the setting contents confirmed and displayed are stored in the complex copy setting storage area in the memory 16 (S11).

  Thereafter, when the copy start button 22c, which is the confirmation instruction means of the present invention, is clicked (S12: Yes), the complex copy is executed based on the contents stored in the complex copy setting storage area at that time ( S13). If the cancel button 22e is clicked (S14: Yes), a cancel process is performed, the setting contents stored in the memory 16 are cleared, and the complex copy mode is terminated. (S15).

  In the execution of complex copy (main scan) in step S13, reading is performed at a preset resolution. The resolution here can be selected from a plurality of options such as low resolution, standard, and high resolution in the detailed setting of the copy function of the apparatus. If a plurality of originals are set when the copy start is instructed, the contents of the complex copy set in step S7 are applied to the plurality of originals and copied. Note that the original used for the preview is also set on the original table together with other originals if it is necessary to perform the main scan. In addition, although detailed description of processing such as masking a specified area or changing color for image data of a read document is omitted, for example, in the case of masking, one sheet After the image data of the original is expanded into bitmap data, the data area of the designated area is completely replaced with “0” so as not to record, and the designated area is changed to “monochrome: red”. If the data is to be changed, it can be realized by adding the red information and outputting it to the printing unit even if the data portion of the designated area is monochrome data after being expanded into bitmap data. .

(Template editing process)
The template editing process corresponding to step S6 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the “standard” which is the template information setting key of the present invention on the edit menu screen 22f on the screen of FIG. 4 is clicked with the cursor pointer 22b, a submenu 22j is displayed as shown in FIG. While the “standard” submenu 22j is displayed, it indicates that the other menu buttons cannot be selected by lowering the brightness or changing the color compared to the normal display.

  In the present embodiment, “A4”, “CV”, and “resident card” are prepared as submenus, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other menus may be provided. Here, for example, when “resume” is clicked, an image based on the template information of the resume stored in advance in a predetermined template information storage area of the ROM 13 or the memory 16 is displayed on the preview screen 22a as shown in FIG. Then, the setting parameter corresponding to the resume is displayed on the parameter setting screen 22g (S21).

  The resume template information includes the areas generally attached to resumes, such as an area for attaching a facial photo, an area for writing a name, an area for writing an address, an area for writing a history, etc. As information for classifying the area and information for displaying the classified area on the parameter setting screen 22g, setting parameter information such as “face”, “address”, “name”, or “history” At least included. In the example of FIG. 7, default editing content (information) is assigned in advance to each setting parameter. For example, “mask” is associated with the setting parameter “face” as editing content. The setting parameter “address” is stored in association with “monochrome” as editing content, and such default editing content is also stored in the template information.

  For example, when copying the resume, when it is not necessary to copy the face photo 22a1 attached to the resume (S22: Yes), the right side of the setting parameter “face: mask” on the parameter setting screen 22g Check the box with the cursor pointer 22b and set the default editing contents. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the face photograph display area 22a2 of the preview screen 22a is displayed as a dotted line that is not a copy target. Since the other setting parameters are not checked in the default state, the area other than the area corresponding to “face” is set for monochrome copying.

  When the OK button 22d is clicked in this state, the setting contents are temporarily stored in the work memory 12a (S23). FIG. 9 shows an example of setting contents stored in the work memory 12a after the template editing process is executed. Here, the number (No), setting classification (standard, etc.), setting parameters (document format “curriculum vitae”, setting range “whole”, editing content “monochrome”, function “copy”), etc. include. No. 0 is model information indicating that no editing content is specified, and the setting content in FIG. 8 is stored as No. 1.

  Then, the processing based on the confirmation button 22h after step S8 is performed, and when the copy start button 22c is finally clicked (S12: Yes), the copy based on the stored contents of FIG. A face photo portion is masked with respect to an original (curriculum vitae) to be read, and a monochrome copy output is obtained for the other portions. When a plurality of resumes are set, the same setting is made for the plurality of resumes.

  In addition, when “A4” which is the paper information of the present invention is clicked from the submenu in FIG. 6 (corresponding to the paper designating means of the present invention), an A4 size blank image is displayed on the preview screen 22a. Template editing processing and complex copy setting processing (described later) can be performed on a blank image. As the contents of template editing that can be used here, for example, general standard areas such as the upper half, lower half, right half, and left half are prepared as paper areas. Set the color.

  Specifically, when copying a manuscript with a test question written in the upper half of the manuscript and an answer written in the lower half of the manuscript, first copy only the test question and mask the answer The request is considered. In this case, without previewing the original document one by one, the original size A4 is selected, a blank image is displayed, the lower half is selected from the template editing, and the mask is designated as the editing content. Thus, when executing complex copy, a copy output in which the lower half of the read original is masked is obtained. In this way, with simple settings, it is possible to set the area designation and editing contents with a simple button operation without previewing the document.

  As another example of the standard document, template information for copying a book with page spread can be created. When the book B is copied as shown in FIG. 10, if the book B is placed on the glass platen A, the area D close to the page spread portion is not in close contact with the platen A, and is output in black. Therefore, “standard: book” is selected from the “standard” submenu (not shown), an image based on the template information “standard: book” as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed, and the area 22a6 where the saddle stitch portion is copied. Is set so as to mask the image, only the area 22a5 printed on the book (areas C and E of the book B) is copied and the saddle stitch portion (area D) is not output in black. Similarly, when it is desired to erase the black output of the edge portion 22a7, the black output of the edge portion 22a7 can be prevented by checking the box to the right of “peripheral edge: mask” and enabling the mask setting. .

  Since the width of the saddle stitching portion (area D) varies depending on the thickness of the book, for example, based on the template information, try a single copy (corresponding to the confirmation output process in step S9), If the result of the copy output of the saddle stitch portion is not appropriate, it is desirable to return to the setting of the complex copy in step S7 and adjust the width of the saddle stitch portion appropriately using the cursor pointer 22b to change it to a desired setting.

(Complex copy setting process)
The complex copy setting process corresponding to step S7 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, "Preview" is clicked with the cursor pointer 22b from the selection items on the edit menu screen 22f to display the image data of the original read by the scanner unit 24 on the display unit 22, and then the selection item on the edit menu screen 22f. When “free setting” is clicked, the user can make an arbitrary complicated copy setting as shown in FIG.

  Here, when it is not desired to copy and output a desired area in the preview screen 22a, first, a check is made with the cursor pointer 22b in the right column of the editing content “mask” on the parameter setting screen 22g as shown in FIG. 14 (S31: Yes). Then, the area to be masked is designated by designating the start point and end point of the area as shown in FIG. When the designation of the area is completed (S32: Yes), the information of the area designated as the setting contents and the editing contents for the area are temporarily stored in the work memory 12a (S33). Thereafter, the process returns to step S31.

  Subsequently, when it is desired to change the display color (printing color) of the desired area (S31: Yes), the cursor is placed in the right column of the editing content “single color: red” on the parameter setting screen 22g as shown in FIGS. Check with the pointer 22b. If you want to use a single color other than red, click on the “single color: red” column and a color list will be displayed in the pull-down menu format. Select the desired color.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the start point and the end point are specified in the same manner as described above to specify the region 22a4 for changing the display color. When the complicated copy setting is to be ended (S36: Yes), the OK button 22d is clicked. If the user wishes to cancel the complex copy setting and clicks the cancel button 22e (S35: Yes), the setting contents that have been temporarily stored in the work memory 12a are cleared (S37).

  FIG. 21 shows an example of setting contents stored in the work memory 12a after the complicated copy setting process is executed. This includes a number (No), setting classification (free setting, etc.), setting parameters (document format, setting target range, setting contents, function), and the like. The setting contents in FIGS. 15 and 16 are stored as No1, and the setting contents in FIGS. 19 and 20 are stored as No2. The setting contents of other areas are stored as No0 (indicating that no editing contents are set).

  Then, the processing based on the confirmation button 22h after step S8 is performed, and when the copy start button 22c is finally clicked (S12: Yes), the copy based on the stored contents of FIG. For the original to be read, the designated area is output in mask or red, and a monochrome copy output is obtained for the other parts. If a plurality of documents are set, the same setting is made for the plurality of documents.

(Complex copy processing 2)
Another example of complex copy processing that prints and outputs variously processed originals will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 31. This process is included in the copy control program 13d and is repeatedly executed together with other processes of the copy control program 13d.

  Steps S61 to S63 in which the image data of the original read after shifting to the complex copy mode is displayed on the preview screen 22a, and steps S64 and S65 in which the template editing process is performed using the template of the standard document are respectively shown in FIG. 3 is the same as Steps S2 to S4 and Steps S5 and S6 in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 23, the screen displayed in step S61 is a scan page selection button 22m, 22n, a next page button 22k, so that a complex copy setting process can be performed by reading a plurality of documents by “preview”. Copy number setting buttons 22p and 22q for setting the number of copies for one document are added.

  If it is desired to end the complex copy mode before setting the complex copy, when the cancel button 22e is clicked (S78: Yes), a cancel process (described later) is performed and the complex copy mode is ended. (S77).

  Then, the complex copy setting process (S66: the same as in FIG. 12) is executed. In the example of FIGS. 24 and 25, “Mask” is checked as an edit item, so the designated area 22a8 is masked. Since the confirmation of the setting contents (S67, S68) is the same as steps S8, S9 in FIG. 3, the description here is omitted.

  Next, it is set using scan page selection buttons 22m and 22n to which page of the original newly read as the main scan the above complicated copy setting content is applied (S69). In the example of FIG. 26, a setting screen in the case where the setting for masking the area 22a8 is applied to pages 1 to 5 of a newly scanned document is shown.

  Further, the number of copies for one original to be scanned can be set using the copy number setting buttons 22p and 22q in accordance with the complicated copy setting contents (S70). FIG. 27 is an example of a setting screen when two copies are made from page 1 to page 5 set in FIG. If the number of sheets is not specified in step S70, one original is copied.

  If there are no mistakes in the settings of the above complex copy, scan page range, and number of copies, the OK button 22d is clicked. When the OK button 22d is clicked (S71: Yes), the setting contents are saved in the complex copy setting storage area secured in the memory 16 (S72).

  Subsequently, when the copy start button 22c is clicked (S73: Yes), the copy is performed with the setting contents stored in the complex copy setting storage area (S74). In the example of FIG. 27, if there are 5 or less originals set on a document table (not shown) and read by the scanner unit 24, two copies of each of the 5 or less originals are copied with the above-mentioned complicated copy setting. If there are 6 or more originals, 1 to 5 pages are copied 2 each with the above-mentioned complicated copy setting, and no complicated copy is set for the 6th page and thereafter. The content is copied as it is.

  When a plurality of originals are read by “Preview”, a plurality of image data are displayed on the preview screen 22a as shown in FIG. 28, so when the next page button 22k is clicked (S75: Yes), FIG. 29, the next page preview screen 22ab is switched and displayed, and the complex copy, the scan page range, and the number of copies can be set for the multiple page preview screen 22ab as described above. In the subsequent display screen example of FIG. 30, the print color of the area 22ab1 of the preview screen 22ab is set to red, the scan page range is set to only six pages, and the number of copies is set to one.

  If the cancel button 22e is clicked (S76: Yes), the cancel process is performed, the setting contents stored in the work memory 12a and the memory 16 are cleared, and the complex copy mode is terminated (S77).

  FIG. 31 shows the setting contents saved in the complex copy setting storage area of the memory 16 by the above processing. The settings shown in FIGS. 24 to 27 are stored as the scan page 1 in which the edited content (setting parameter 3) is stored for each different setting area (setting parameter 2), and the settings shown in FIGS. The Also, page range and copy number designation information is stored for each scan page.

  When complex copying is performed with the above setting contents, if there are 5 or fewer originals, two copies of each of the five originals are set with the setting contents of scan page 1, and if there are 6 or more originals, From page 1 to page 5, two copies are copied with the setting contents of scan page 1, each page is copied with the setting contents of scan page 2, and no complicated copy is set for pages 7 and thereafter. The content of the read original is copied as it is.

  In the above example, when setting a complex copy or the like for a plurality of documents, only the document for which the complex copy setting is set is read at the time of preview. However, all the documents to be copied are scanned and necessary pages are read. Alternatively, a method may be used in which a complicated copy is set for the page. In addition, when there are a plurality of previews, a configuration may be used in which complicated copies are set by displaying them in parallel instead of displaying them in a superimposed manner.

(Copier system)
A configuration in which settings such as complicated copying of the copying machine 10 are performed by the terminal device 30 connected to the copying machine 10 may be adopted. A block diagram of the electrical configuration of the terminal device 30 is shown in FIG. CPU 31 as editing information application means of the present invention, RAM 32 as storage means of the present invention having work memory 32a, ROM 33 for storing various programs, hard disk drive (HDD) 34 as a storage device, bus line 35, input / output unit (Displayed as “I / O” in the figure) 36, a communication interface (in the figure, “communication I / O”) which is the image data acquisition means and transmission means of the present invention for connecting to the CD-ROM drive 39 and the communication network It is configured as a personal computer (or workstation) equipped with 40 or the like).

  The HDD 34 and the CD-ROM drive 39 are connected to the bus line 35 via interfaces (I / F) 44 and 49. The HDD 34 stores an OS 34a serving as basic software of the terminal device 30, a setting program 34b for setting complicated copying, a communication program 34c for communicating with devices (such as the copier 10) on the communication network 50, and various data. The database 34d to be stored is stored. The input / output unit 36, which is the editing information setting means, editing information editing means, editing mode switching means, paper designation means, confirmation designation means, page number designation means, and copy number designation means of the present invention, is input with a keyboard or a mouse. The display unit 38, which is the display unit of the present invention comprising the unit 37, LCD or CRT, editing information display unit, and confirmation output unit is connected.

  By the operation of the setting program 34d, a screen similar to that shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 38 of the terminal device 30, and an instruction for reading a document is sent to the copying machine 10 by designating a preview here. Next, the image data of the original read by the copying machine 10 is acquired from the copying machine 10, and the complicated copy is set for the image data. The complex copy setting process includes the above-described complex copy process 1 (steps S1 to S11, S14, S15 in FIG. 3), complex copy setting process (FIG. 12), and complex copy process 2 (steps S61 to S72, S75 in FIG. 22). The setting contents are stored in the database 34d as in S76).

  Subsequently, by designating copy start on the same screen as that shown in FIG. 4 displayed on the display unit 38, the setting content of the complex copy stored in the database 34d is transmitted to the copying machine 10, and the copying machine 10 is started, reading of the original set in the copying machine 10 is started (main scan), and the complex data set in the terminal device 30 is set for the image data of the newly read original. A copy is applied and output. When a plurality of originals are set, the originals are sequentially read, and a complicated copy is applied and output.

  When a plurality of copying machines 10 are connected to the terminal device 30, the setting contents stored in the database 34 d can be transmitted from the terminal device 30 by designating the copying machine 10. As shown in FIG. 33, the destination copy machine (copy machine name, network address, etc.) and transmission contents (complex copy setting contents, etc.) are designated according to the display screen of the display unit 38. When the “Send” button is clicked, the designated setting contents are read from the database 34 d and sent to the copying machine 10. In the copying machine 10, the transmitted data is stored in the memory 16. In the case of “standard setting”, it is not necessary for the copying machine 10 to read a document for previewing. Therefore, the terminal device 30 designates to which copying machine the setting contents of the complex copy are sent to execute the complicated copying. It is necessary to carry out.

  Further, the terminal device 30 can also acquire the storage contents (such as complicated copy setting contents and previewed image data) of the RAM 12 or the memory 16 of the copying machine 10. When the “Receive” button is clicked on the screen of FIG. 33, the data of the setting contents designated on the copier 10 side is received. The received data is temporarily stored in the work memory 32a, and is stored in the corresponding area of the database 34d by executing a predetermined command.

  For example, when a certain user shifts to the complex copy mode on the copier 10 side and starts setting complex copy, but there is a situation where another requirement enters and the setting must be interrupted, the copier 10 By using the function of causing the terminal device 30 to receive the setting contents on the side, it is possible to restart the complicated copy setting etc. later using the terminal device 30, and the settings made halfway are wasted Can be prevented.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the knowledge of those skilled in the art can be used without departing from the spirit of the claims. Various modifications based on this are possible.

  For example, in the above embodiment, default edit contents (mask, single color red, etc.) are stored in advance for each setting parameter on the parameter setting screen 22g in FIG. 8, and the default edit contents are entered by inputting a check. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the editing content is displayed in a pull-down manner for each setting parameter such as “face” and “address”, from which the desired editing content can be selected. It may be configured as follows.
