What multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine showed when being in holding state is user's login interface (S801), the user need to carry out user's login (S802) when this multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine of use, if login failure, then can't use the function of multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine, demonstration still be user's login interface (S801).After the user logins successfully, initial interface will show (S804), whether the user is that the function interface of own desired use is judged (S805) to current interface, if the function in this interface is not that the user is desirable, the user need to select or interface switching to next function (S806) and get back to S805 and again judge; If the user interface that shows is the corresponding interface of function of the desired use of user, the function (S807) that the user can use this interface to provide.After the user uses this function, to whether continuing to use the function of multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine to judge (S808).Continue to use in the situation of multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine the user, get back to step S805 user selection and reselect function; If the user does not need continue to use multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine, then the user carries out and nullifies operation (S809) and finish this operation.
In the present embodiment, the initial interface after the aforementioned login can arrange the interface and arranges by the initial interface in the user interface elements 101.As shown in figure 10, the user can select one by this interface from the function that image forming apparatus provides be the initial interface that signs in to behind the image forming apparatus, among Figure 10 example copy function S1001, facsimile function S1002, scan function S1003 and task management S1004.After pressing ACK button S1005 after user selection is finished, user interface elements 101 sends to configuration management element 103 with this setting, is responsible for preserving this setting by configuration management element 103.After next user logined successfully, user interface elements 101 obtained the initial interface setting from configuration management element 103, and showed that this arranges corresponding interface.
The present invention is in order to solve the user in the loaded down with trivial details problem that needs after the login on the handover operation of interface, described task management unit 104 is after the notice that receives user's login from user authentication unit, will upgrade its output task queue 302 according to arranging of system, print output thereby need not the unnecessary operation of user can will belong to the user after logining successfully output task.This process is carried out in the step S804 of the operating process of user described in Fig. 8.Fig. 9 has showed the process of this renewal output task queue and the output of beginning autotask.The user is after the authentification of message success of login interface input authentication and signing in to multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine, and task management unit 104 receives the information (S901) of the listed message of user and logged-in user from user authentication unit 102.Next task management unit 104 upgrades output task list (S902) according to arranging of system, upgraded whether rear affirmation output task list is empty (S903), if not, the output task that then will prepare in the output task list sends to image output unit 106(S904 one by one in order); As then finishing the automatic output procedure of image for sky.
In step S902, the method for upgrading the output task queue is different and different according to system's setting option purpose, and in this embodiment, the process of described renewal output task queue as shown in figure 11.The initial interface setting is obtained from configuration management element 103 in task management unit 104, and checks whether the initial interface after the login is task management interface 904(S902-101), if so, then do not upgrade the output task queue and finish this process; If not, then whether there is next task inspection (S902-102) in the existence output task list to its management.If there is no next task then finishes this process; If exist, then enter next step and check whether this task is the output task (S902-103) of described logged-in user.Do not belong in this task in described user's the situation, get back to S902-102 next task is checked; If this task belongs to described user, then this task is put into and prepared output task list (S902-104), and get back to S902-102 next task is checked.
So, be in the situation at task management interface 904 in initial interface, the user can directly carry out the associative operation to task at this interface, and initial interface is not carried out image when the task management interface and is automatically exported, and the ease for use of system is improved.
Next introduce the second embodiment.
Based on the first execution mode, the user can also to whether carry out image automatically output arrange, on the basis of this setting, in order to save cost, again output after can also filtering image output task, and export under certain conditions the option such as front pressure affirmation and arrange.
Figure 12 is that an example that arranges, i.e. the configuration management interface example are exported in 101 pairs of logins of user interface elements afterwards automatically.The user can open the rear spontaneous output function of login by choosing [user logins rear automatic output] 1201.The user is after choosing [user logins rear automatic output] 1201, and two subordinate option [only exporting the task of today] 1202 and [to confirming greater than the task of page or leaf] 1203 also become optional.After the user had chosen [only exporting the task of today] 1202 and pressed [affirmation] button 1204, user interface elements 101 sent to configuration management element 103 with this setting option, by configuration management element 103 this setting is preserved.When described [only exporting the task of today] when 1202 setting options are "Yes", the image spontaneous output function will be only effective for the task that the user logins the same day to the task creation date, and other tasks will can not be output.Choose [to confirming greater than the task of page or leaf] 1203 the user after, the user need to input the number of pages of this restriction, for example, and 10 pages.After the user chose this option and presses [affirmation] button 1204, same user interface elements 101 sent to configuration management element 103 with this setting option, by configuration management element 103 this setting is preserved.Choose [to confirming greater than the task of page or leaf] 1203 setting options the user be "Yes" when described, and when number of pages exists greater than 10 pages task, before this task is output, under will having as shown in figure 13 dialog box to eject to be confirmed whether to export to the user greater than 10 pages task.If the user presses [affirmation] button 1301, then output will continue; If the user presses [cancellation] button 1302, this task then can not be output.It should be noted that here output filtering condition [only exporting the task of today] 1202 and [to confirming greater than the task of page or leaf] 1203 only are example, other force the affirmation condition before multiple filtercondition and output can also be arranged, and do not enumerate one by one at this.
Arrange accordingly with above-mentioned, Figure 15 is that the result of task management unit 104 also changes to some extent, except with Fig. 3 in identical wait output task queue 1501 and the output task queue 1504, also increased automatic output filter 1502 and automatic output validator 1503.Wherein output filter can't not join in the output task queue 1504 so that do not satisfy the wait output task of filtercondition automatically according to the automatic output filtering condition in the configuration management element 103 automatically.Automatically the output validator then is to force the affirmation condition according to the automatic output of storing in the configuration management element, when having task to satisfy automatic output pressure affirmation condition, confirm to customer requirements that by user interface elements 101 output task queue 1504 is just put into described wait output task in the affirmation that obtains the user afterwards.
According to above-mentioned setting, the flow process of step S902 renewal output task queue as shown in figure 14 among Fig. 9.Task management unit 104 at first obtains whether carry out the automated graphics setting from configuration management element 103, and checks that whether carrying out image exports (S902-201) automatically, if the result is no, then upgrades the output task queue and becomes to finish; Carrying out in the image situation that output is set to be automatically, initial interface setting after task management unit 104 is logined from configuration management element 103 again, and judge whether initial interface is set to task management user interface (S902-202), if the result is yes, then upgrades the output task queue and become to finish; Whether not in the situation of task management user interface, 104 pairs of task management unit wait for that output task queue 1501 travels through in the initial interface setting, to existing the next output task of waiting for to judge (S902-203).If there is no next task is then upgraded the output task queue and is become to finish; In the situation that has the task of also not having traversal, whether everyone of 104 pairs of these wait output tasks in task management unit is that the user in the login judges (S902-204), and whether judgement herein can consistent with the user name of login user in the task attribute everyone.If described wait output task does not belong to this user, then get back to step S902-203 next one wait output task is judged.Waiting for that the output task belongs in the situation of user in the login, the automatically filtercondition of output of image is obtained from configuration management element 103 in task management unit 104, whether described wait output task is satisfied the automatic output filtering condition of image judge (S902-205).
In the present embodiment, described automatic output filtering condition is that 1202 shown in Figure 12 only exports the task of today.Carry out in the creation-time of the above-mentioned task attribute that whether satisfies the described wait of being judged as of automatic fitration condition output task date whether with system time in date whether consistent.If described wait output task does not satisfy automatic output filtering condition, then get back to step S902-203 next one wait output task is judged.Satisfy in the situation of automatic output filtering condition in described wait output task, the automatically automatic output pressure affirmation condition of output of image is obtained from configuration management element 103 in task management unit 104, and whether satisfied automatically output pressure affirmation condition is judged (S902-206) to described wait output task.In this embodiment described pressure output affirmation condition be the number of pages of this task whether above 10 pages, namely judge by the number of print pages in the task attribute.If described wait output task does not satisfy described pressure and confirms condition, then this task is moved in the output task queue 1504 (S902-209) from wait for output task queue 1501.Satisfying described pressure in described wait output task confirms in the situation of condition, the dialog box (Figure 13) of usefulness is confirmed in task management unit 104 by the output of user interface elements 101 demonstration tasks, and obtain user's affirmation result (S902-207), then task management unit 104 confirms that from the user result judges (S902-208), if the result is yes, then this task is moved in the output task queue 1504 (S902-209) from wait for output task queue 1501, and get back to step S902-203 next one wait output task is judged.
So, increased the automatically flexibility of output of task after the login, when having guaranteed that the user could use the function of multifunctional digital code composite integrated machine after authentication, also reduced the loaded down with trivial details operation of user, just can carry out printing in the situation that after logining successfully, need not to carry out switching at the interface; Can also reduce mistake output according to methods such as automatic output filtering and pressure affirmation conditions, thereby reach the purpose of controlling cost.
