After register was carried out in user login management unit 112, the user can use 103 pairs of already present operations of Job Operations boundary element to operate.
Fig. 3 is an example of Job Operations boundary element 103.After the user logins successfully and the interface switched to Job Operations boundary element 103, can show the association attributes of current operation and operation at the Job Operations interface, such as the creation-time of job name, number of pages and operation.Described shown operation will be chosen by acquiescence, and the user can select to wish the operation carried out by check box 301 to 305, or cancellation selects not wish the operation carried out; In addition, the user also can select the disposable selection All Jobs of 306 buttons or cancellation to select all operations of choosing by full choosing/cancellation.To work as operation when many, and all operations all can't be presented in this interface, the user can find corresponding operation by using upper page-turning button 307 or lower page-turning button 308 to carry out page turning.When the user pressed delete button 309, Job Operations boundary element 103 sent selected operation and delete command by job management unit 104, job management unit 104 according to described delete command with described job delete.When the user presses output button 310, job management unit 104 sends to operation output unit 110 with selected operation and fill order, operation output unit 110 will be carried out the described operation of choosing by the selecting sequence of operation according to described fill order, and the message of the beginning of this operation is sent to job management unit 104.
Fig. 4 is the user interface of copy function, also is another example of Job Operations boundary element 103, and by this interface, the user can carry out other operations except job management.
Job management unit 104 is used for the execution of operation is managed, comprising, to unenforced operation preserve, delete current existence operation, carry out also unenforced operation, operation that cancellation is being carried out and the execution end of operation, last state to operation monitors, and whether the record logged-in user this time carries out new operation after the login.
Fig. 5 is the structure chart of user's operation monitoring unit 106.User's operation monitoring unit 106 is used for user's operation is monitored, and the time that does not have the user to operate is carried out timing.When the user operates in user interface, when perhaps receiving other modules such as the order of user log off unit 105, user's operation monitoring unit 106 timer of will automatically resetting.Reach the set time at timer, user's operation monitoring unit 106 can notify other modules such as user log off unit 105 described timing arrival events.Whole user's operation monitoring unit 106 is comprised of three parts such as external event responsor 501, timer 502 and timing responsors 503.Wherein external event responsor 501 is used for monitoring the generation of external event, and carries out different operations according to different external events, and 502 of timers are finished the timing task, and timing responsor 503 is for the treatment of timer corresponding actions then.
Flow chart when Fig. 6 is user's operation monitoring unit 106 response external event.
System judges at first whether external event is that the user logins (S601), the timer (S605) if user's login is then reset, otherwise judge whether external event is that operation begins (S602), the timer (S605) if operation begins also to reset, otherwise determine whether the end of job (S603), carrying out operation finishes when judging except judging whether operation finishes (S603), also to judge whether simultaneously in addition other operations of printing (S604), only when this operation has finished and has not had operation that other are printing, user's operation monitoring unit 106 timer (S605) of just can resetting.
Fig. 7 is user's operation monitoring unit 106 timers flow charts then.
When finding to have operation carrying out (S701), user's operation monitoring unit 106 is with replacement timer (S703), otherwise the broadcasting timer is then notified (S702), and this notice will trigger user log off unit 105 and operate accordingly.
Fig. 8 is an example of job management unit 104.The operation that job management unit 104 receives from input in the Job Operations interface 103 by operation receiver 801, and the operation that receives joined wait in the output job queue 802, Real Time Monitoring is carried out in simultaneously job state monitor 804 pairs of waits output job queue 802 and job output queue 803, with the last state of timely acquisition operation.
Fig. 9 has showed the state transition of job management unit 104.Whole job management has three kinds of states on the whole, is respectively:
S901: initial state, User Status is for login and job state are not execution;
S902: User Status is for logining and job state is to carry out;
S903: User Status is for logining and job state is executed.
When after initial condition S901 user login, state switches to S902.Under the S902 state, if occur to nullify operation, then state S901 is got back in job management unit 104.Under the S902 state, if the user carries out operation by Job Operations boundary element 103, job management unit 104 changes oneself state into S903 after receiving the message that Job execution is arranged of operation output unit 110.Under state S903, if occur to nullify operation, then job management unit 104 becomes state S901.Under state S903, if job management unit 104 receives again the message that Job execution is arranged of operation output unit 110, then state is constant, still is S903.Under state S903, if job management unit 104 receives again the message that has operation to finish of operation output unit 110, then do not need the operation that continues to carry out to operation output unit 110 inquiry is whether current, if do not have, think that then whole tasks are all complete, state becomes S901; If the operation of also have to continue carrying out then state is constant still is S903.Under state S903, if occur to nullify operation, then job management unit 104 becomes state S901.Wherein, when having operation to finish, job management unit 104 can check current carrying out or etc. whether the operation that belongs to current login user is arranged in the pending operation, if do not have then can notify the user log off unit event that 105 login user operations are all finished.
Figure 10 is the flow chart of above-mentioned user log off unit 105 response external event notices, and idiographic flow is as follows:
S1001 determines whether that at first the user logins successfully signal, if it is record logging status (S1008), otherwise logging status is checked (S1002), if be logging status, then carry out successively following follow-up judgement: determine whether that the user manually nullifies (S1003), determine whether the then notice (S1004) of user's operation monitoring unit 106, operate S1007 if satisfy condition then carry out to nullify; Otherwise enter the notice that S1005 determines whether job management unit 104, if satisfy condition then change processing operation state notifying flow process over to.
Figure 11 is the flow chart of above-mentioned user log off unit 105 response job state notices, and idiographic flow is as follows:
S1101 determines whether that at first operation begins notice, if operation begins notice, then is executed (S1107) with status indicator; Begin notice if not operation, determine whether then whether operation normal termination (S1102), job state be that whether executed (S1103), this user's operation all finishes (S1104), whether the active user interface is Job Operations interface (S1105), if above-mentioned condition all satisfies, then carry out and nullify operation (S1106), otherwise as long as above-mentioned any one condition does not satisfy, all will not carry out and nullify operation.
Like this, both so that the user can not be subject to the automatically interference of cancellation in using device procedures, guaranteed again that user user's after not continuing to use the image output control system logging status can not used by other people, thereby guaranteed availability and confidentiality.
In addition, can also add based on the above method access customer dispensing unit 108 is set, be used for arranging whether automatically nullify operation, comprise the automatic cancellation after regularly cancellation, the time of regularly nullifying and operation are finished, so that this automatic cancellation method is more flexible.
Above-mentioned arrange can also be divided into system's overall situation with user's two parts independently separately.
Further, can independently arrange so that system's overall situation setting has precedence over the user in system's overall situation setting and user priority being set independently, or the user independently arranges, and the system that has precedence over is overall to be arranged.
