The following describes in detail a specific technical solution of the image processing method provided in this embodiment.
In step S01, a job request from a user is received, the job request including job parameters and parameter information of the image forming apparatus.
Specifically, the job request includes job parameters and parameter information of the image forming apparatus. In the present embodiment, the job request of the user may be a job request generated by the user on the user terminal, or may be a job request generated by the user on the image forming apparatus.
The job parameters include a job type, a paper number, a paper type, and the like, the job type may be, for example, one or any of printing, scanning, and copying, and more specifically, the printing may further include two-color printing, monochrome printing, color printing, and the like, and the scanning may include monochrome scanning, two-color scanning, color copying/scanning, and the like. In other embodiments, the job parameters may further include a print density parameter, a print boundary setting parameter, a text enhancement parameter, a spot color printing parameter, a color saturation adjustment parameter, a hue adjustment parameter, an ink saving parameter, and the like. The paper type may be, for example, a5 white paper, a4 white paper, A3 white paper, a4 color paper, or the like. The number of sheets may be, for example, the product of the number of originals to be copied and the number of copies or prints.
When the user transmits a job request through the image forming apparatus 10, the cloud server 30 can obtain parameter information of the image forming apparatus by parsing a packet including a MAC address of a transmitting end of the job request.
When the user sends a job request through the user terminal 20, the user needs to set the image forming apparatus that performs the job task through the user terminal 20, for example, to acquire parameter information of the image forming apparatus that performs the job task by scanning a two-dimensional code, or to input parameter information of the image forming apparatus, such as a MAC address, a serial number, a device number, and the like, directly through an image forming app installed in the user terminal 20.
In this embodiment, before step S01, the method further includes:
step S001, receiving a first login request sent by the user terminal 20, where the first login request includes a user account;
step S002, verifying whether the user account is registered;
step S003, if yes, confirming the user account login, and providing the cloud service to the user account.
It is understood that the cloud service refers to a service that a user can control the image forming apparatus 10 registered on the cloud server 30 to perform remote printing, copying, scanning, and the like through the cloud server 30 using the user terminal 20 anytime and anywhere.
In one embodiment, step S001 includes:
the user terminal 20 scans the two-dimensional code through a preset application program and decodes the two-dimensional code to obtain parameter information of the image forming apparatus and an address of the cloud server; receiving a cloud service call request, wherein the cloud service call request is triggered by a user terminal 20 accessing a cloud server address; returning a user login interface to the user terminal in response to the cloud service invocation request, so that the user terminal 20 can generate a login request by using the user login interface; receiving a first login request sent by the user terminal 20, where the first login request includes a user account.
In this embodiment, the predetermined application is a third-party application, such as WeChat and Paibao. In other embodiments, the preset application program may be self-contained in the user terminal, or may be an image forming app (e.g., a running cloud printing app) installed on the user terminal for executing the job task.
The two-dimensional code is a black-and-white pattern in which a certain specific geometric image is distributed on a plane (in a two-dimensional direction) according to a certain rule, and is used for recording information such as data conformity. The two-dimensional code may be attached to an image forming apparatus, or a work table of a user, or may be stored in the form of a photograph on a user terminal.
In other embodiments, before the user terminal decodes the two-dimensional code, the user may manually start the image forming app installed on the user terminal 20, input the registered user account and password to log in the cloud server, start the two-dimensional code scanning function module of the image forming app, perform two-dimensional code scanning operation, obtain parameter information of the image forming apparatus by scanning the two-dimensional code and decoding, then perform operation parameter setting on the image forming app, and finally send the operation parameter set by the user and the parameter information of the image forming apparatus obtained by decoding to the cloud server 30.
Of course, after logging in the cloud server, the user may set the job parameters first by the image forming app and then select the image forming apparatus (for example, scan the two-dimensional code including the parameter information of the image forming apparatus in the above manner or directly input the serial number, MAC address, and the like of the image forming apparatus), so that the job parameters can be associated with the selected image forming apparatus. Finally, the user terminal 20 associates the job parameters with the parameter information of the image forming apparatus, generates a job request, and transmits the job request to the cloud server 30.
Accordingly, after step S05, the method further comprises: the cloud server automatically logs out of the currently logged-in user account. The job requests of other subsequent users are prevented from being deducted from the current charging account by mistake.
Further, before step S01, the image forming apparatus 10 should register with the cloud server 30, and the specific steps include:
receiving a first registration request sent by a registration terminal, wherein the first registration request carries an authorization code, parameter information of the image forming apparatus 10 and a registration list identifier; in response to the first registration request, verifying whether the authorization code is legitimate; if the parameter information of the image forming device is legal, storing the parameter information of the image forming device into a registration list corresponding to the registration list identification, and sending a first registration success instruction to the registration terminal, wherein the registration list is bound with the charging account; and sending the two-dimensional code to the image forming device 10 so as to enable the image forming device 10 to output the two-dimensional code, wherein the two-dimensional code comprises parameter information and a cloud server address.
The registration terminal may be, for example, a computer or a notebook computer. The registration terminal is in communication connection with a wifi module on the image forming device through a network, and acquires parameter information of the image forming device. The parameter information of the image forming apparatus is then transmitted to the cloud server 30 for registration, the registration being controlled by an actual administrator of the image forming apparatus. The administrator may be a supplier, an agent, or an administrator of a service company of the image forming apparatus, and for example, an apparatus administrator inside a company may register the image forming apparatus after the company a purchases the image forming apparatus from the supplier or the agent.
More specifically, the registration list identifier may be, for example, a name of an enterprise, an enterprise code, or the like, and when the printer is registered, the administrator registers the printer in a public user group (stored in the storage unit in the form of a registration list on the cloud server), all printers in the public user group are purchased or leased by the enterprise, and the registered printers can implement the cloud service.
Further, before step S01, the method further includes:
receiving a login request sent by an administrator, wherein the login request comprises an administrator account; judging whether the administrator account has management authority or not; if so, an adjustment instruction sent by the administrator is received, the adjustment instruction comprises the parameter information of the registered image forming device and a fee deduction way, and the fee deduction way is any one of a charging account and a third party account.
Specifically, the administrator may log in to the cloud server through a web page of the cloud server, manage the image forming apparatus 10 registered in the cloud server 30, and adjust a charging route of the image forming apparatus a from a charging account (an enterprise account) to a third party account (e.g., a WeChat account, a Payment treasure account, or a bank account of the user), for example. In this embodiment, when the administrator logs in to the cloud server by scanning, the administrator cannot send the adjustment instruction and cannot change the fee deduction route.
Further, before step S01, the user account should be registered in the cloud server 30, and the specific steps include:
receiving a second registration request sent by the user terminal 20, where the second registration request carries a user account and a registration list identifier; in response to the second registration request, the user account is saved in the registration list corresponding to the registration list identifier, and a second registration success instruction is sent to the user terminal 20.
When a user account (i.e., a common account, a non-administrator account) is registered, the cloud server 30 may prompt the user to select a public user group, so that the user logging in the cloud server 30 through the user account can enjoy cloud services of all printers in the same public user group.
Referring to fig. 4, the step of deducting the target amount of the payment resource from the billing account associated with the parameter information of the image forming apparatus at step S02 includes:
step S021, calculating the target quantity of the resources to be paid according to the paper type and the paper quantity;
step S022 of reading a balance of a billing account associated with parameter information of the image forming apparatus;
step S023, judging whether the charging account is enough to pay or not according to the balance of the charging account and the target quantity of the resources to be paid;
step S024, if yes, deducting the target amount of payment resources from the charging account.
In the present embodiment, the account to be charged is an enterprise account set by the administrator when registering the image forming apparatus. The cloud server reads a preset charge data table, wherein a charging standard is recorded in the charge data table, so that the cloud server can calculate the target quantity of the resources to be paid according to the charging standard and the operation parameters, for example, a4 copies each sheet with 0.5 yuan in black and white, and a4 copies each sheet with 1 yuan in color.
Further, after step S021 and before step S022, the method further comprises:
judging whether the logged-in user account and the image forming device corresponding to the parameter information are registered in the same registration list; if yes, the charging account associated with the parameter information of the image forming apparatus is confirmed to be a deduction account. It will be appreciated that the user and printer are registered in the same enterprise and may be charged directly from a billing account (enterprise account).
If not, the third party account associated with the user account is confirmed to be a deduction account.
In step S03, when the deduction is successful, a job command is sent to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the parameter information, so that the image forming apparatus performs a job according to the job command and the job parameter.
Referring to fig. 5, after step S02, the method further includes:
in step S06, when the deduction fails, a failure instruction is sent to the image forming apparatus corresponding to the parameter information, so that the image forming apparatus cancels the job according to the failure instruction.
In the present embodiment, the job command and the failure command are two different values, for example, the job command is "1" to indicate that the job can be started after the fee deduction is successful; the failure command is "0" to indicate a deduction failure. In other embodiments, the job instruction may be an operator, code, or the like that can be recognized by the computer.
Further, the failure instruction also carries a failure reason, for example fail001 indicates a fee deduction failure. After receiving the failure instruction, the image forming apparatus 10 analyzes the failure instruction to obtain a failure cause, and outputs the failure cause to the touch panel.
In step S04, the actual job data transmitted by the image forming apparatus is received.
In the present embodiment, the actual job data includes the number of paper output and the type of paper output. Specifically, the actual job data may be calculated from the ADF scanning unit on the image forming apparatus. When the user cannot predict the number of copies, the number of sheets may be set to be slightly larger than the actual number of sheets required by the user when setting the job parameter, so that the copy job is more flexible, and when the final copy is completed, the image forming apparatus 10 uploads the actual job data, and the cloud server 30 can refund based on the actual job data.
Step S05, according to the operation parameters and the actual operation data, judging whether the payment resource amount of the charging account needs to be updated, including:
comparing the number of the paper with the number of the paper output; and when the paper output quantity is less than the paper quantity, the cloud server updates the payment resource amount of the charging account.
In the present embodiment, the image forming apparatus 10 can analyze the job parameters set by the user and perform the job according to the job parameters set by the user, for example, a4 monochrome copy set in the job parameters, and the image forming apparatus 10 controls the paper discharge type by the ADF scanner unit and controls the ink discharge by the image forming unit. After the job is completed, the ADF scanning unit transmits the counted number of discharged sheets to the control center of the image forming apparatus 10, and the control center transmits the number of discharged sheets to the cloud server 30.
It can be understood that, when the number of paper sheets in the automatic paper feeder of the printer is less than the number of paper sheets, the cost is easily deducted, but the copying cannot be completed, so the cloud server 30 can check the accuracy of the job cost according to the job parameters and the actual job data, taking the number of paper sheets included in the job parameters as an example, the situation that the number of paper sheets discharged by the image forming apparatus 10 is less than the number of paper sheets set by the original user and the wrong cost deduction can be avoided, meanwhile, when the user is difficult to estimate the number of original documents, the user can preset the number of paper sheets in the job parameters to a larger value, thereby ensuring that the image forming apparatus 10 can complete the job, finally, the accuracy of the job cost is checked according to the actual job data, whether the cost is required to be returned or not, thereby improving the job efficiency and improving the user experience.
