The image processing equipment of a third embodiment in accordance with the invention has and the above-mentioned basic configuration identical according to the image processing equipment of first and second embodiment (Fig. 1～5).Use identical Reference numeral to represent the assembly identical, therefore omitted its detailed description with first and second embodiment.Below the part different with first and second embodiment will only be described.
In the 3rd embodiment, it or not the value of setting that all values of setting of the processing of will be registered replace with user individual, but the keyword of the part by will being set to handle setting replaces with the keyword of user individual, thereby carry out the processing of being registered as the processing of user individual.
Figure 21 illustrates the flow chart of being carried out the process of handling by the performed handling process of the image processing equipment of a third embodiment in accordance with the invention.
In Figure 21, in step S2101, CPU 2001 makes handling process list picture shown in Figure 19 1900 show and the corresponding handling process button 1904 of handling process that is stored in the XML file 1304.In step S2102, CPU 2001 detects one that whether supresses in the handling process button 1904.As the result who judges, when CPU 2001 detects one that supresses in the handling process button 1904, CPU 2001 reads each value of setting (step S2103) handled that comprises selected handling process from XML file 1304, and makes temporary storage area 1303 store these values of setting.
In step S2104, CPU 2001 checks the processing replacement value of setting that is stored in the XML file 1304.As the result who checks, when will the value of setting being arranged to implement to handle when replacing, program enters step S2105, otherwise when will not the value of setting being arranged to implement the processing replacement, program enters step S2112.Thereby negate program when entering step S2112 when being judged as in step S2104, carrying out is not the shared processing that is exclusively used in each user.
In step S2105, CPU 2001 judges by search string in the string argument in the handling process of being stored in the temporary storage area 1303 whether the keyword (for example, %loginname%) (keyword judging unit) that remains to be replaced is set.In this case, suppose keyword to be replaced is stored among the HDD 2004 in advance.When in the handling process of being stored in the temporary storage area 1303 keyword that remains to be replaced being set, program enters step S2106.As the result who judges, when keyword to be replaced not being set in the handling process of being stored in the temporary storage area 1303, program enters step S2112.That is, when program when step S2104 enters step S2105, even handling process is set to be replaced by each user's processing, as long as keyword to be replaced is set in this handling process, then carrying out is not the shared processing that is exclusively used in each user.
In step S2106, set keyword to be replaced in the string argument in the handling process of being stored in the CPU 2001 identification temporary storage areas 1303.Keyword to be replaced in being arranged on string argument is that (for example, in the time of %loginname%), program enters step S2107 to login username.Keyword to be replaced in being arranged on string argument is that (for example, in the time of %name%), program enters step S2108 to display name.Keyword to be replaced in being arranged on string argument is that (for example, in the time of %domain%), program enters step S2109 to domain name.Keyword to be replaced in being arranged on string argument is that (for example, in the time of %sid%), program enters step S2110 to the ID of department.Keyword to be replaced in being arranged on string argument is that (for example, in the time of %email%), program enters step S2111 to e-mail address.
In step S2107, CPU 2001 will be arranged in the handling process of being stored temporary storage area 1303 keyword to be replaced (for example, what %loginname%) replace with corresponding each user is provided with data (login username), and program enters step S2105 subsequently.
In step S2108, CPU 2001 will be arranged on keyword to be replaced in the handling process of being stored temporary storage area 1303, and (for example, what %name%) replace with corresponding each user is provided with data (display name), and program enters step S2105 subsequently.
In step S2109, CPU 2001 will be arranged on keyword to be replaced in the handling process of being stored temporary storage area 1303, and (for example, what %domain%) replace with corresponding each user is provided with data (domain name), and program enters step S2105 subsequently.
In step S2110, CPU 2001 will be arranged on keyword to be replaced in the handling process of being stored temporary storage area 1303, and (for example, what %sid%) replace with corresponding each user is provided with data (ID of department), and program enters step S2105 subsequently.
In step S2111, CPU 2001 will be arranged in the handling process of being stored temporary storage area 1303 keyword to be replaced (for example, what %email%) replace with corresponding each user is provided with data (e-mail address), and program enters step S2105 subsequently.
When program was returned step S2105 after the processing in the arbitrary step in having carried out step S2107～S2111, CPU 2001 judged whether the keyword to be replaced that will replace in addition.That is, when having replaced all keywords that should be replaced (～five kind) that comprised in the handling process, program enters step S2112 from step S2105.In step S2112, operating part replaces with the handling process of the processing of user individual.
In step S2112, CPU 2001 analyzes and carries out the handling process of being stored in the temporary storage area 1303.When carrying out this handling process in step S2112, the performed function of handling process changes according to difference value of setting of substitute character string.
To illustrate that now handling process is that file sends the situation (in Figure 12 " output " has been selected " transmission ", and FTP transmission or SMB are sent as sending method) of (FTP sends or SMB sends).
When wanting execute file to send, multi-function peripheral 1001 (CPU 2001) will convert image file by the view data that " input " processing is imported to and by network I/F 2010 image file will be stored in the file in the file server (external equipment) on the LAN 1006.In this case, write with following form and send the destination: " File_S erver_A (being used for discerning the computer name of the information=file server of file server) SALES (directory name of file server) at the folder name on storage purpose ground ".File server can be typical personal computer.The HDD that supposes file server is provided with various catalogues, and one of them catalogue is provided with the file for each user.Aforementioned calculation machine name is used for the named file server.Make folder name and user name coupling.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, be used on file server one of them file of making for each user " File_Server_A SALES login username (for example; user_A; user_B ...) " output that sends the handling process of file handles and relates to " file transmission ".With the path, transmission destination (routing information) of file be set to File_Server_A SALES %loginname%.When handling process that the logging in system by user and the execute file of login user by name " user_A " sends, with " user_A " replacement " %loginname% ".Then, document files is sent on the file server file File_Server_A SALES user_A.In the case, " %loginname% " is as the path, transmission destination of each user's document.
When in the filename of document to be sent, being provided with " %loginname% ", the filename of the document that " %loginname% " will send as each user.
As mentioned above, although it is varied to be arranged on the function of the keyword to be replaced in the handling process, function is not limited to above-mentioned these functions.The mode of replacing can be stored in advance, so that carry out processing according to this mode in HDD 2004.
Therefore, in the step S2112 of Figure 21, relate to the file transmission if the output of handling process is handled, then carrying out with the user folder with above-mentioned action is the file transmission of destination.If the handling process that is predefined for shared processing is then carried out in the not processing of designated user personalization.Similarly, be that file sends processing in addition if output is handled, then the content of handling according to output is carried out the processing or the shared processing of user individual.
Although by user name is come authenticated user as sign, sign is not limited to user name in above-mentioned processing.Sign can be an ID card etc.As long as can discern the user and information about user's user name is provided, then sign can be anything.Much less, replace unique user, also can authenticate group with department name etc.
