Abstract
An analogue system consists of duplicator unit, an operation part, an image processing unit and a working station. In the operation part there is a CPU which uses the duplicator unit to implement the control of image formationa ccording to the inputted data, there is also a first memory for storing the analog data necessary for image formation. In the image processing unit there are a CPU and a second memory for storing data being same with that stored in first memory. The working station can receive data from second memory. The data communication is carried out between working station and image processing unit, image processing unit and operation part. The change of data in first memory is controlled according to the instruction dispatched from the working station.
Description
The present invention relates to a simulation system, will there be the data setting in the memory in this system and change over needed data when image forms in order to carrying out at the image processing system such as electronics videotapes duplicating machine.
For example, videotape in the duplicating machine at an electronics, the used design factor of image processing component to scanner or processing input image data, adjusting data and selecting data pattern all is to leave in the memory as master data (simulated data), and these data all are needed when forming image.In general, these data are to revise by the operation (enter key) of the operation part in the duplicating machine.
Yet, because the keyboard and the duplicating machine display screen of functional unit are all very little, seem unclear, use also inconvenient.In addition, in the use/the lower gear key imports data and changes very much the time.General use such as personal computer is received in the system and is formed work of treatment as terminal device to finish various image.But, at this moment because the user is before being sitting in terminating machine, thus he (she) must go to the duplicating machine limit and go input or change simulated data.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simulation system, it can use on image processing system to address the above problem and to make simplified control.
In order to achieve the above object, the simulation system among the present invention is made up of following part: image processing component; An operating portion is arranged in these parts, also has a CPU (central control assembly), on the basis of input data the control image forming parts forming image, and first memory that is used for depositing needed data when forming image; An image processing component has one second memory in these parts, it is depositing the data identical with first memory and a CPU; The workstation that energy fetches data from second memory, this workstation links to each other with functional unit by image processing component.Realizing data communication between workstation and the image processing component and between image processing component and the functional unit.Data in first memory are provided with and revise is that instruction by workstation produces is controlled.
Hence one can see that, and the operation element station can be provided with and revise the data in first memory that leaves image forming parts in.Because these operations are finished on workstation, these working methods are different from the working method on image forming parts, therefore simulated data are provided with and revise and can use Genius mouse to carry out on the window on the giant-screen of workstation shows.Because the data of memory in first memory are also placed in second memory in the image processing component simultaneously, thereby workstation can directly take out data from image processing component when simulated data is provided with and revises again.

Fig. 1 is the design frame chart that image forms the disposal system general construction.WS represents workstation with reference to word.The keyboard of reference number 2 expression workstation WS.Reference number 19 expression Genius mouses.Reference number 3 expression conventional data buses.Memory that storage capability is 128MB of reference number 4 expressions, reference number 5 and 6 expression exclusive data buses.With reference to word IPU presentation video processing element, reference number 7 expressions connect the control signal wire of workstation WS and image processing component IPU.Color digital copying machine parts of reference number 9 expressions.Copier part 9 comprises that 10, one scanner parts 11 of an operation part are used for reading original paper and a printer section 12.
Image processing component IPU links to each other with the operation part 10 of copier part 9 by control signal wire 15.Operation part 10 has the cpu (CPU) of a not specified (NS), and these parts are controlled the formation of image by copier part 9 on the basis of the data of input, and CPU and IPU also carry out communication, and data bus 13 and 14 is as pictorial data.Pictorial data is to send to IPU by bus 13 from scanner 11 parts, and pictorial data is from reading out here.When normal duplicating mode, image forms to handle and is finished by copier part 9 and image processing component IPU.Image processing component IPU reads data from scan device part 11 and deal with, and again treated data is supplied with printer section 12 by data bus 14.Printer section 12 is finished print job to form color image on the basis of the pictorial data that is provided by image processing component.
Therefore, the formation image just carries out in copier part 9 and image processing component IPU in normal copy mode, and this processing for this reason, does not have jumbo memory by carrying out in real time in image processing component IPU.Thereby when normal copy mode, the mode of handling not is to leave pictorial data the in again pictorial data in the memory is dealt with in the memory way to carry out.For memory space and the quick image of realization that reduces utilization IPU forms.When normal copy mode is to adopt real-time method.For example, in memory, deposit pictorial data and need a jumbo memory.
The resolution of hypothesis color image is that 400dpi and the number of colours of any are 256 now.A kind of color relation of the pictorial data of an A3 paper is needed the memory space that capacity is 32MB, because color image is made up of four kinds of colors: magenta, dark blue, yellow and black so just need the memory space of 32 * 4=128MB.Cost is just quite high like this.In addition, the pictorial data that leaves in this memory is handled the read/write that needs the 128MB data, and this has just increased the processing time widely.Owing to these reasons, in image processing component IPU, do not have jumbo memory, but it there is row memory and uses pipelining technique, according to said method signal Processing is undertaken by every row.Particularly it has the row memory (total volume of 30 this row memories is 150KB) of 20 to 30 5-KB
Image processing component IPU and copier part 9 combine and form a duplicating machine system.As mentioned above, when carrying out copying operation separately, mainly be to handle simultaneously treated data are offered printer section 12 obtain pictorial data from scanner part 11 with pipelining technique by real-time mode by the duplicating machine system.Yet, when another kind of processing mode, promptly not that the pictorial data that image processing component IPU will obtain from scanner 11 memory 4 that provides respectively is provided from memory 4 pictorial data is offered printer section 12 simultaneously when only finishing the mode of processing with the duplicating machine system.
For example, by image processing component IPU, will be left in the depositing element 4 like this in workstation WS can analyze it by the pictorial data that scanner part 11 is read, data after treatment output to printer section 12 simultaneously.Use the disposal system of workstation only to be better than disposal system, because the former is more flexible and processing capacity is wider with the hardware composition.There are many defectives in the system that only deals with hardware, because the fixing single function that provided by hardware can only be provided for it.Be highly effective, for example coming to this aspect the correcting process of colour and use software to finish processing by workstation WS.This is can do suitable selecting by software because be used for revising the multiplication coefficient and the constant of colour.In addition, workstation WS and depositing element 4 are combined to finish the synthetic processing of image.The result who handles can export as image by printer section 12.
The capacity of depositing element 4 is 128MB.The pictorial data of being read by scanner part 11 is input to depositing element 4 from image processing component IPU.Data also can output to image processing component IPU from depositing element 4.Memory 4 links to each other by data bus 3 with workstation WS.Just make workstation WS directly to read and write after connecting like this, just as reading and writing of files or other various reading/writing methods to memory 4.Use above-mentioned structure just can carry out image processing and assessment.
Yet, remove to control copier part 9 with workstation WS and just need add a connection again.In this example, copier part 9 is realized that control finishes by control signal wire 7 and image processing component IPU with workstation WS.Control signal wire 7 links to each other with the interface that is called RS-232C, and this interface is for workstation WS and image processing component IPU (seeing Figure 14) and establish.In image processing component IPU, also have CPU, be used for being provided with image processing data and biconditional operation part 10 and workstation WS and carry out communication.
The remote control mode of setting forth below as the workstation WS of terminal also is used for host, as a terminating machine, monitor memory with it, data are set in the image processing component IPU part of deal with data and go, data mouthful are read in I/O (I/O).Workstation WS links to each other with an Ethernet 17, like this by network 16 can with another workstation1 8 swap datas.
Workstation WS application window system, this system can leave many windows, and following window can be provided: with the terminal window of outer image processing component IPU; Be used for carrying out the operation part window of remote control; Image evaluating system window; With a simulation window is set.
In various windows, the operation part window, terminal window and simulation are provided with window and draw in Figure 14.Workstation WS and image processing component IPU by interface (RS-232C) 61 and 62 and control signal wire 7 (see figure 1)s carry out exchanges data, as shown in figure 14.Reference number 63 expression operation part windows such as Fig. 2 are to shown in Figure 5.The terminal window that reference number 64 expressions are opened when workstation WS is used as terminal.Reference number 65 expression simulations are provided with window." fault eliminating " among Figure 14 be the program program name it move by terminal pattern.
To narrate remote control window (and remote control mode) below.Remote control mode will be called distant mould later.Narrate outline earlier.Hypothesis has been opened workstation now.When opening copier part 9, the software of CPU just brings into operation simultaneously that the software of the CPU in Flame Image Process parts IPU has also moved in the operation part 10 of copier part 9.Yet this has only started normal copy mode.Start distant mould, will send a guidance command to image processing component IPU at workstation WS, image processing component IPU has accepted order and operation part 10 has been sent request, and operation part just enters distant mould and by image processing component IPU the result is transmitted back to workstation WS simultaneously.
After distant mould started, the control operation command job station WS that sends by the user gave an order to image processing component IPU.Image processing component IPU deciphers order.By carrying out communication, condition is set and with result notification workstation WS by order with operation part 10.
After starting distant mould, a demonstration as shown in Figure 2 is provided on workstation WS, this demonstration (remote control panel) comprises two kinds of windows; One is the keyboard window, and the user can operate it with Genius mouse 19; One is display window, and it only shows such as machine conditions and information such as condition is set.For example, in Fig. 2, the keyboard window that just provides below: colored options button 31; Tone balance key 32; Clear key 33; Image pattern key 34; Storage mode key 35; Analog key 36; Printing key 37; Reset key 38; Duplicate (duplicating) quantity key 39 is set, end/clear key 40; With a carton key 48.
As display window, following window is provided, they are all as shown in Figure 2 in liquid crystal display window 42: messagewindow 43; Memory pattern display window 44; Image quality pattern display window 45; Duplicate colored display window 46; With the carton display window.As the carton display window.First half window 47U is an indication upper paper box, Lower Half window 47d indication bottom carton.
Except that messagewindow 43, all display windows do not add frame.Display window is not added frame, and the keyboard window does not add frame to display window with regard to there being frame like this, and a glance just can be clear respectively.In display window, memory pattern display window 44 has shown " CP ", " IN " and " OUT ".Wherein the pattern of " CP " expression is meant that pictorial data read and outputed to printer and go by scanner.The pattern of " IN " expression is meant that the data that obtain from scanner are input to the memory and goes.The pattern of " OUT " expression is meant that pictorial data is next from memory output.
The image quality pattern that shows in image quality pattern display window 45 comprises character pattern, videotapes pattern and character/videotape pattern.Shown in Figure 2 be the pattern of videotaping (PHOT), duplicate the colour that colored display window 46 has shown the color image that is formed by printing portion 12.Fig. 2 has illustrated visual available four kinds of colors (yellow, magenta, mazarine and black) composition.About carton window 47u and 47d, the color of selected window (in the situation of Fig. 2, being lower window 47d) is that the non-color of choosing is opposite, and for example background is a black, and character is a white.
In messagewindow 43, shown such as " preparation is duplicated " " wait " and " duplicated " and information such as " obstructions ".Also can show as shown in Figure 3 simultaneously information such as " selection copy colors ", show as shown in Figure 4 " adjustment balance " and as shown in Figure 5 " adjust sharpness " etc. information.
In this example, exercisable keyboard window is to be controlled at different display modes with inoperable display window.In addition,, can not operate again sometimes because the keyboard window can operate sometimes, its display mode also because of the time different to distinguish two kinds of different conditions.Particularly, when the pointer of mouse 19 moved on to the window that can not operate, the color of this window can not change.But when pointer moved on to an exercisable window, the color relation of the framework of this window can become redness from cyan, and the character color in the frame can be inverted to white from black.
If pointer is pressed the button on the Genius mouse on the window of carton key 48 time, the background color of window can reverse.Produce an order that changes carton in the moment of pressing button on the Genius mouse by workstation WS, this order is simultaneously delivered among the image processing component IPU as communication data and is gone.After this order of identification, image processing component IPU produces a data declaration carton key 48 and has been changed, and data are sent to the operation part 10 of copier part 9, produce data in operation part 10, these data point out that current selected carton changes to carton from following carton, and this result is sent among the image management parts IPU goes.
Image processing component IPU discerns these results, and returns a data declaration carton change for workstation WS again and finish, after the selected data of last carton return to workstation WS.Workstation WS turns back to primary colors with the background color of window 48.In other words, after the button of Genius mouse is pressed, the background color of window will reverse, and the color of this counter-rotating can not change in processing procedure, this expression work of treatment well afoot, in case and processing finishes, this background colour that is inverted can be got back to its primary colors again and finish to show processing procedure.
The window of Fig. 2 is corresponding to the demonstration and the operating key of the operation part 10 of copier part 9.And operation part 10 have show with the similar manual operation key of these windows.Because the demonstration of workstation WS is identical with the demonstration of the operation part 10 of copier part 9, user energy operation element station WS and can not causing obscures.But, in operation part 10, be not the selection of carrying out key with pointer, the frame and the character of key can not change (but background color can change when some key) yet simultaneously.
When operation color selection key 31, the demonstration when tone balance key 32 and sharpness key 33 in the LCD window will be as Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5 changing like that.When the color of the color image that need form printing portion 12 explains and when operating colored options button 31, the display change in the LCD window 42 is to as shown in Figure 3.In this LCD display window 42, messagewindow 43 can not be operated, four kinds of color yellow, and magenta, dark blue, black and three kinds of color redness, blueness, green windows 50a finishes with the mouse index to the selection among the 50i.
In the drawings, be to have selected " 4 look " (with four kinds of colors is yellow, and magenta is dark blue, black), when this situation, the background color and the character color of selected window reverse.When the demonstration of Fig. 3 is in window 42 time, the background colour of colored options button 31 is yellow to have opened colored preference pattern with expression.
If under the condition shown in Fig. 2 tone balance key 32 is operated, it just shows as shown in Figure 4.Window displayed is Y (yellow) in LCD window 42, M (magenta), C (dark blue), B (black),-, 0 ,+and transition display window 51a to 50k and 8 key window 52a to 52h numerical value, under the normal condition with the change color, yellow, magenta, numerical value dark blue and black all is initialized to 0.For example, wishing increases to some extent to the numerical value of yellow, can operating key 52e, the numerical value indication of yellow is shifted to+over there.If after finishing tone balance and being provided with, operate the tone balance key again, then show just turn back to shown in Figure 2.Yet if having at least a kind of value of color to be increased greater than 0, even if show so and turned back to as shown in Figure 2, but the tone balance key remains yellow, with dawn the user tone balance changed.
If under condition shown in Figure 2,, then show just to change to as shown in Figure 5 to 33 operations of sharpness key.Window shown in LCD window 42 is-, 0 ,+and sharpness gradual change window 53a to 53c and operating key window 54a and 54b be used for regulating sharpness.If again to these key 33 operations, then demonstration just turns back to shown in Figure 2 after the adjusting of having finished sharpness.Yet, sharpness is increased to greater than 0, even turn back to shown in Figure 2ly in demonstration, it is yellow that the sharpness key still keeps, with dawn user's sharpness be changed.
As mentioned above, straighforward operation be in the X Window of workstation WS, carry out and all control by Genius mouse 19.Window control has realized visuality, is provided with the operation part 10 same or analogous keys with copier part 9 in window.In addition, show that also the demonstration of biconditional operation part 10 is identical.Because these characteristics, operation is very easy.Because the display part in the operation part 10 of copier part 9 has comprised a LCD (liquid crystal display) and therefore in this explanation LCD window 42 has been called the LCD window.
Fig. 6 is a design proposal that contains the color digital copying machine of copier part 9 and image processing component IPU.To set forth the color photocopying operation of normal mode below.Colored original paper 127 is placed on the invisible glass 125, compress it with former cover plate 126, with the optical scanning system of forming sweep test 11 it being scanned (Fig. 1) then uses up and makes medium, the picture intelligence of colored original paper 127 has passed to by collector lens 129 that this generator has the light receiving device (CCD) of a picture by the dress Coupling device on the image signal generator 130, so picture signal just is converted into electric signal here.In Flame Image Process parts IPU,, for example produce the color image data of black etc., on imaging drum 133, formed a preliminary image by laser scanning component 132 through necessary signal Processing.And the surface of imaging drum 133 was filled by main charger 134 before this.
Form a width of cloth color image, at first use laser beam, on this images, carry out signal Processing, with Y developing parts 135 preliminary image is showed then and resemble on imaging drum 133, forming the preliminary image of a width of cloth on the basis of the color image data of yellow.The Y developing parts that contains Yellow toner will have Yellow toner on imaging drum 133 primary image shows to come.Have Yellow toner resembling on the paper that is transferred to around conversion drum 136 of showing on the imaging drum 133.Paper is provided after paper feed cassette 137 or 138 takes out by the paper feed path.This paper also need remain on the surface of changing drum 136 in order to accepting a kind of color down.
When remove parts 139 and remove the charging unit (not shown) will residual toner and the charging elimination after, again imaging drum 133 is charged with main charger 134.A primary image corresponding to red image on the imaging drum 133 that is formed by laser beam has shown to come out by a M developing parts 140 then.At this moment, M developing parts 140 is brought to Y developing parts 135 places in imaging drum 133 position opposite with it, and the primary image that will have a red color tone toner shows.
In this example, as shown in Figure 6, Y developing parts 135 as the yellow image that develops, M developing parts 140 as the red image that develops, be fixed to one successively only on the part 143 that vertical direction moves as the C developing parts 141 of development blue image with as the B developing parts of development black image, these developing parts are alternately delivered to developing location (relative with the position of imaging drum 133), and they are consistent with the color image data that forms primary image with laser beam.
Just be switched on the paper of changing on the drum 136 (above this moment, yellow image has been transformed into) with the red color tone toner immediately at the image that shows on the imaging drum 133.Equally, again dark blue and black image are transformed on the paper in an identical manner.After all colors were all changed, paper just with conversion drum 136 separately, was fixed on image on the paper by fixed part 144 then, and this paper just videotapes copier part 9 from electronics and unloads then.
As shown in Figure 7, image processing component IPU comprises a black signal generation circuit 150, this circuit is based on the Y that above-mentioned image signal generator 130 is obtained, M and C signal and generate black signal; A character accentuator 151; Colored correction circuit 152; Determine that image forms the colour selection circuit 153 of color for one; A sharpness adjustment circuit 154 (having the emblem divides and integration filter) that is used for changing image definition; A pattern pulse generation circuit 155, this circuit produce laser beam with driving pulse on the basis of a picture intelligence; An interface 160 and a CPU161 are as carrying out various controls and carrying out communication by interface 160 with workstation WS.
Referring now to Fig. 8 to 13,, will be set forth in workstation WS below, transmission (shaking hands) problem of data between image processing component IPU and the operation part 10.Fig. 8 A is the shake hands situation of explanation when opening distant mould.After having started program on the workstation WS, will produce remote control request command is set.This order is sent to image processing component IPU immediately.IPU receives that this order back just is set to " opening " state (ON) with distant mode designation (S3), simultaneously it is sent to operation part 10, in addition, by normal condition is not distant mould state, therefore IPU is set to 1 with the condition changing request flag and makes that working as precondition becomes distant mould condition from the normal mode condition, also is sent to it operation part 10 simultaneously.
After operation part 10 was receiving the condition changing request, it will determine that distant mould is set to out (ON) still closes (OFF).Distant mould is out under current state, so operation part 10 is set to out distant mode designation (S5) and this is sent to IPU.Simultaneously it also is set to the condition changing distinguishing mark 1 and be sent to IPU.Copier part 9 until the condition changing distinguishing mark be set to 1 and received by IPU after just enter distant mould state.
After IPU receives the condition changing distinguishing mark, promptly send a remote control recognition command is set to workstation WS, this command list shows that duplicating machine is in the remote control possible condition (S7).It is set to 0 with the condition changing request flag simultaneously, and sends to operation part (S8), and operation part is about to the condition changing distinguishing mark and is set to 0, and send to IPU after receiving the condition changing request flag.
Distant mould state is provided with in a manner described.And cancel distant mould state is to be undertaken by the mode shown in Fig. 8 B.In this situation, produce a distant mould request command of cancellation by workstation WS and simultaneously it has been sent to IPU (S12), the remainder of shaking hands identical with shown in Fig. 8 A just made distant mode designation into " pass " (OFF), and " cancellation " replacement " setting " is got final product.
At workstation WS, shaking hands between image processing component IPU and the operation part 10 mainly is for fear of this situation occurring: promptly workstation WS when distant mould state since duplicating machine do not enter distant mould and can not do remote control duplicating machine.To narrate below referring to the request of Fig. 9 to Figure 13 also for identical reason.
Fig. 9 to Figure 13 shows shaking hands under the distant mould state.Shown in Figure 9 is about the shaking hands of function setting key aspect, such as cassette selection key, and image quality mode key, the exposure key, the sharpness key, the tone balance key duplicates quantity key and colored options button etc.That is to say that this shaking hands is that the function setting data that produce with above-mentioned assortment of keys are relevant, these data are that the operation the following keys by the remote control panel of Genius mouse on workstation WS produces: 31,32,33,34,39, and 41a, 41b and 48.At first, on workstation WS, a key is operated, produce with this key function corresponding the key order is set, and it is sent to IPU (S21), after image processing component IPU receives this order, will be to the storage that is provided with of copier part 9, and send data to operation part 10 and represent that data communication is put and opening (ON) state.
For the key operation that makes the CPU of operation part 10 receive under the distant mould state key operation that operation part 10 receives that coexists has identical condition, used data are of equal value during key on the data biconditional operation part 10 that sends out.(S23)。Just (S24) demonstrates the function reception data that receive to operation part 10 in the display part after receiving these data.Simultaneously the function setting data are set to communication data and will be transmitted back to IPU (S25).
Image processing component IPU receive after the data newly-installed value is deposited with at S22 the time on once the value of setting make comparisons (S26).If both differences (also promptly, be provided be changed), then as required, the communication data with the function setting key is reset to pass (OFF) to IPU simultaneously, it is sent to operation part 10 (S27) again with new.Simultaneously it also is sent to a read command workstation WS to show setting change (S28).After receiving read command (S29) just changes in the demonstration on the workstation WS screen.Run into following will the waiting for of condition (A): the user does the keyboard input from operation part 10, as function the key input is set from workstation WS, does the input of condition setting key from workstation WS.Below as an example referring to Fig. 9 to describe this situation be about to carton key 48 as the function setting key at the enterprising line operate of workstation.When operation carton key 48, produce a carton and change order (S21), simultaneously it is sent to IPU.Image processing component IPU deposits (S22) with current carton setting.If the following carton of Set For Current, then the data of carton are just deposited under the representative.Then, image processing component IPU starts carton change communication data and it is sent to operation part 10 (S23).Operation part 10 promptly provides after receiving these data and shows carton (S24) in the indication operation.Then, on behalf of the data of carton, operation part will be set to communication data and it will be sent to IPU (S25).
The data of carton make comparisons (S26) under the last time representative that image processing component IPU deposits when after receiving these data the data of receiving being coexisted S22, because these two is different, IPU not deactivation shows those data of carton change and it is sent to operation part 10 (S27) that on behalf of the order of carton, it also will down be sent to workstation WS (S28) simultaneously.So just showing its carton from following carton, workstation changes to carton (color recovery of window is extremely original under being about to, and changes the upward color of window).Though, here to the image quality pattern, exposure, sharpness, tone balance, the handshake procedure that duplicates quantity and colored selection etc. is described, and the mode that they carry out all is similar.
Figure 10 to Figure 13 is illustrated respectively in printing key 37, and the handshake procedure of condition data is set when only/clearly key 40 and reset key (all reset) 38 are operated.Figure 10 represents the printing situation.When workstation WS upward operated printing key 37, workstation WS produced a print request order and it is sent to IPU (S31).After receiving this order, IPU just the print request communication data is set to 1 and be sent to operation part 10 (S32).
Operation part will be printed the identification communication data and be set to 1 after receiving these data, its expression has been accepted print request and also it sent to IPU (S33).IPU is receiving that these data are set to 0 with print request communication number again later on.Simultaneously it is sent to operation part 10 (S34).The print request communication data that is provided with in step at S32 remains on 1 state always, till printing identification communication data is accepted.Then, it is set to 0, and is sent to operation part 10.
Under the situation of the function setting of Fig. 9,, make identification being provided with on the basis of change because function is to have changed really.Yet, can not make this identification in situation about printing.Thereby shaking hands is to carry out in a manner described, can identify like this and receive actual order.This is suitable for too to following Figure 11 to Figure 13 that will set forth.
Figure 11 be illustrated in during the duplicating about end/handshake procedure (promptly duplicating shut-down operation) of clear operation if during duplicating in the operation of the enterprising whereabouts of workstation WS/clear key 40, workstation WS will produce one to be ended/and request command is sent to it image processing component IPU (S41) simultaneously clearly, to end/ask clearly communication data after IPU receives orders immediately is set to 1 and simultaneously it is delivered to operation part 10 (S42), operation part 10 is just carried out the order (S43) that stops copier part 9 after receiving these data, after stopping duplicating, operation part 10 will be ended/discern clearly communication data and is set to 1 and be sent to IPU (S44) simultaneously, receive that at IPU these data just will end/ask clearly communication data and be set to 0 and it is sent to functional unit 10 (S45).
To end/discern clearly communication data after operation part 10 is received data again is set to 0 again and is sent to IPU (S46) simultaneously.After IPU receives these data, will end/recognition command is sent to workstation WS (S47) clearly, and workstation WS promptly does to end/clear show (S48) after receiving orders on its display screen.When the printing situation of Figure 10, print be print identification communication number be set to begin after 0 and when S35 goes on foot, be sent out away.And when the situation that stops to duplicate of Figure 11, end/clear operation is to have received by be set to 1 end/begin when asking communication data clearly by IPU in operation part 10.At this moment the requirement that stops duplicating as early as possible causes owing to satisfying.
On the contrary, what will set forth below is ending/clear the operation as shown in figure 12 of not carrying out during duplicating, owing to needn't stop copying operation as early as possible in this situation, therefore end/clear the operation is inchoate after handshake procedure is fully finished.So it has not been illustrated with regard to not adding because Figure 12 is only different in this with Figure 11.
Figure 13 is the reset operation that returns function, such as sensitive paper box and image quality pattern to turn back to the operation of starting condition after finishing shaking hands to similar mode shown in Figure 12.
At workstation WS, shaking hands when remote control mode that the data between image processing component and the operation part 10 transmit is to carry out with above-mentioned mode.The data difference that the order data that transmits between workstation WS and IPU must be with workstation WS uses during as normal terminal is come, that is to say from memory, read coexist distant mould state with shown data when the normal terminal pattern in input/output end port output the time equally when ordering all form by letter and number.Thereby the order during in this example as distant mould state has following characteristic and makes a distinction when causing them to be easy to the normal terminal pattern.
At first, distant mould setting and mandatum cassatorium and order is set and the condition front all adds a mark $ from the remote control that workstation WS sends to IPU.
Workstation WS does not do initial demonstration, unless just passable when copier part is accepted remote control mode.Thereby it produces a status command to obtain the information about the duplicating machine condition.This status request is represented with mark #.
Sending to the read data state of workstation WS from IPU all uses mark % to represent.These states are explanation condition that is provided with of copier part 9 and recognition command.To list some examples below so that these orders and data to be described.

The CPU of workstation WS will be described below, the sequence of operation of image processing component IPU and operation part IO, and with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 16 to Figure 54.At first set forth the sequence of operation of workstation WS to the process flow diagram of Figure 29 by means of Figure 16.The main flow chart of the remote control procedure of workstation WS mainly is made up of following four parts.
(1) window control
This part comprises the inspection to incident in the window, and with the operation of corresponding to demonstration control of incident and guidance command transmission request flag, all these some operations are all finished with the control displayed image by mouse.
(2) communication data is handled
This part comprises handles transmission and reception data, and processing terminal transmits and the reception data, handles the guidance command transmission, and treatment state order reception is handled the controlled flag of guidance command request transmission and handled the controlled flag that solicited status is discerned inspection.
(3) status data is handled
This part comprises the variation of checking the status data of receiving and handles corresponding window.It is that the setting of representing copier part is changed that communication data partly receives these data of data.Since reflect in flag condition whether data are received, thus zone bit is checked with definite setting whether change, and on the video data of workstation WS, also do corresponding the variation.Also carry out counterweight simultaneously and send the inspection of handling.
(4) processing is sent in the repeating transmission that sends guidance command
This part comprises the comparison that sends between remote-control data and the accepting state data.Processing is sent in the repeating transmission of remote-control data, and guidance command is sent the control of request flag and state recognition checked the control of request flag.This part also comprises following processes, promptly on workstation WS, a key is operated, but no datat when input then system will repeatedly repeat.
(1) straighforward operation to each part of (4) is to carry out in the following manner.
At first, in (1) part, the user presses the button on the Genius mouse in the function setting window.This incident is to be assigned to check by the window control part, guidance command will be set send request flag XXX.
In (2) part, in IPU, generate its remote control transmission sign of guidance command XXX and be set up, after generation, again remote control is sent sign XXX and reset.Simultaneously, check that for the XXX state recognition of XXX function setting request flag also is set up.In addition, receiving unit conducts a survey to received data.If think that the data that received are an order data and a status data, then order is just performed an analysis, and current state has been stored and has been used as state that preceding state will just receive as current state.In addition, when XXX identification checked that request flag is set up in state, sign just was reset.
In (3) part, will make comparisons with the preceding status condition the status data processing section from the current XXX status data that IPU sends out.If data are changed, then the current state condition just shows in window.A series of then straighforward operations just are through with.
In (4) part, when the XXX status data of the guidance command that sends out is not changed, retransmit and send part at the appointed time guidance command to be sent.If the transmitting time overshoot time, then will break down.
In main flow chart shown in Figure 16, to the #220 step, (2) part corresponds to the #225 step to (1) part corresponding to #5, and (3) part is to the #230 step, and (4) part corresponds to the #235 step.
On main flow chart, carried out initialization process (initialization procedure is discussed below) in the #5 step earlier.Then, process enters into the #10 step.It is with the generation that determines whether the X incident.In fact this is to determine that whether (using Genius mouse) at the window of workstation WS operates.Whether promptly establish the button whether have a pointer to move on to a key window or Genius mouse is pressed.
If there is not this operation, then can determine not have any X incident and take place, at this moment, the #220 step that will describe below process is just advanced.If there is certain X incident to take place, then process just enters the #15 step, and this step is to determine whether to take place recast figure incident.Will use recast figure incident with the 80a part mapping again among indication Figure 15 in the time of below window 80 in operation part 80a part topped mutually with the window of another program 81 and window 80 is crushed on as shown in the figure.This incident is that the system of workstation from the control window derives out.Be that X window system moves in this system at operation and remote control procedure on the workstation WS.Recast figure incident is to come from the request of system program rather than come from remote control procedure.
When #5 goes on foot, determining the recast figure incident that taken place, when going on foot, just finished #20 being concealed part recast figure, and process enters the #225 step simultaneously.When #15 goes on foot if determine the recast figure incident that do not take place, then process enters the #25 step, and this step is to establish copier part 9 whether to perform the duplicating preparation or be not wait condition, if duplicating preparatory condition or during in wait condition, then will determine whether open remote control panel (whether providing the condition of remote control demonstration and pointer in window, not show) by Fig. 2 form in the #30 step.
When having opened remote control panel, process just enters the #35 step with execution subroutine D, is here to check the whether window of shift-in incident of pointer, carries out this process simultaneously.Figure 22 drawn detailed inspection and processing procedure.In the drawings, whether the window of determining the generation incident is that the XXX window is (in this situation, the name of a key of XXX perfect representation, replace some definite keys with it) if it is the XXX window, process just enters #805 step, and this moment, the color of this window border became redness and character color in the window also changes from cyan.
Then, show that the condition of the Status Flag of condition changed (that is, being provided with the sign that a pointer enters window) in the #810 step, process enters the #830 step to finish this flow process simultaneously.If determining event window in #800 step is not the XXX window,, goes on foot at #820 step and #825 simultaneously and finish similar processing procedure just process enters whether next XXX window of window that the #815 step determines the generation incident in this step.
Just as described above, many exercisable key windows are arranged in workstation WS, will determine the generation incident in advance is the decision order of what window.That is, by three step # 800 to each key window, #805 and #810 can carry out them continuously and just guarantee window and process that incident takes place have been done inspection.In fact, when handling as shown in Figure 2 two windows, then three steps that number is set is corresponding with the number of key window.
Get back to Figure 16 and come up, when window that has entered when the above-mentioned pointer that is checked through Genius mouse and processing procedure were finished in the #35 step, process entered the #225 step.When concluding that remote control panel is not opened when #30 goes on foot, process enters the #40 step.As mentioned previously, be the condition that the remote control on Fig. 2 shows owing to open the condition of remote control panel, though then just can being provided when not providing remote control to show or providing remote control demonstration pointer in window, do not open by remote control panel, this moment, process entered the #40 step.
In #40 step, will judge mouse pointer whether in key window.If in window, then process enters the #45 step, and this step is that corresponding process is finished in the action of the inspection mouse of execution subroutine E simultaneously.Figure 23 has represented detailed subroutine E, #900 goes on foot before this in the drawings, and this step is to determine whether pointer shifts out that window of generation incident.If pointer grand window incident, then at #905, #920 ... detect the window of generation incident.For detected window, carry out the process shown in #910 and the #915 step, the color that goes on foot window border at #910 turns back to cyan by redness, and the color of the character in the window also turns back to primary colors.Changed the Status Flag condition in the #915 step.# 925 is identical with the #915 step with #910 respectively with the #930 step.
When determine event when #900 goes on foot is not the incident that mouse pointer shifts out from window, and then process enters the #935 step, and whether will judge institute's event in this step is the incident of pressing button on the Genius mouse.If conclusion is "Yes" (Yes), process just enters the #940 of process flow diagram to the #965 step, and the window (button that is Genius mouse is pressed at this) that detects the generation incident is then carried out at #945 to the process shown in the #965 step simultaneously about tested window.
Character color in the background color generation counter-rotating window of #945 step window also reverses especially.Changed the Status Flag condition at next step # 950 and supressed pointer with explanation.Then, go on foot at #955, what finish is to generate the order be sent to IPU or change processing procedure such as LCD window panel, and after said process was finished, the color recovery in the #960 step with character in the window and background also restored the condition of Status Flag in the #965 step simultaneously.Then, process enters the #998 step to finish these flow processs.It is identical to the #965 step with #945 respectively that #975 goes on foot the #995 step.
Return on the main flow chart of Figure 16, when #40 goes on foot if mouse pointer not on key window owing to show without remote control, whether process enters the #50 step, will judge colored preference pattern in this step and open.If the conclusion of determining is "Yes" (Yes), then carry out the #55 step.The #55 step is the subroutine D shown in above-mentioned Figure 22.If opening, colored preference pattern (do not select to show though the colour of Fig. 3 promptly is provided, but pointer is not but in key window) to judge mouse pointer whether in the key window in colored preference pattern in next #60 step, if in window, then process enters #65 step, and this step is to carry out subroutine E's among Figure 23.
As mentioned above, in main flow chart, also to carry out following processes: establish these patterns and whether open for tone balance pattern and sharpness pattern; Then carry out this process if open; If pointer is then carried out this process (#70 is to the #105 step) in this window
In the #25 step, neither duplicating preparatory condition if determine copier part 9 again in the duplicating wait condition, then process enters the #110 step, and this step is to judge whether in duplicating.If duplicate, then to judge mouse pointer whether in the key window at #115, if pointer in key window then process enter the #120 step.If pointer not in key window then process enter #125 step.The #120 step is to carry out subroutine E's shown in Figure 23.In the #125 step, judge whether to duplicate.If duplicate, then process enters the #225 step after the #130 step executes subroutine D.If do not duplicating, then process directly enters the #225 step.
Go on foot when determining not when duplicating at #110, process enters the #135 step, and this step is judged the condition that whether makes a mistake in copier part.Error condition is such condition, for example paper is box-uped or carton in condition such as no paper.
If judge the condition of making a mistake, process just enters #140 and goes on foot to #215, in these steps, be that the mistake that detects in the copier part 9 is to occur in the sort of pattern, it is colored preference pattern, that a kind of making a mistake in tone balance pattern and the sharpness pattern, if mouse pointer is in the window of tested pattern, execution subroutine D then.If mouse pointer is just in time in window, execution subroutine E then.After executing subroutine D or E, process enters the #225 step to carry out following subroutine F.
Take place if judge the inerrancy condition when #135 goes on foot, process enters the #220 step, and whether determination procedure finishes in this step.If program does not finish, process enters the #225 step with execution subroutine F.Subroutine F is that such program is wherein carried out the communication data process, and for example terminal data is handled, and generates guidance command, status recognition order and flag operation etc.Shown in Figure 24 is its detailed content.
When handling communication data, also necessary processing terminal data in the #1000 step, will judge at first in terminal whether the key input is arranged.If the key input is arranged, then the reading key data send out in the #1005 step simultaneously.
The following #1010 step is about remote control.In this step, on sending the basis of request flag, order determines whether that order will send to go among the IPU that then detecting at #1015 is which kind of transmits order and when #1020 goes on foot request flag is sent and will be transmitted in order simultaneously and reset if the order of transmission is arranged.Then, in the #1025 step state recognition is set and checks request flag.# 1015, #1020 and #1025 step are all available to each order.To order with after the relevant process of order detects, process enters the #1045 step.
Order if decision sends in the #100 step, then process jumps to the #1045 step, this step is to determine whether to receive data, if receive data, then to judge that in the #1050 step whether the data received are terminal loopback video data (these data are button and data of the displaying contents that produces on terminal).If received data are terminal loopback video datas, then go on foot (promptly at workstation WS) while process of on terminal, data presentation being come out and enter the #1100 step at #1055.If received data are not terminal loopback video datas, then process enters the #1060 step, and this step is whether judgment data is bounded.
Boundary forms from the keyboard input.Order is simultaneously generated by bound symbol.That is, form an order, at first generate character and symbol, press enter key then from keyboard.Form an I1000] order can on the keyboard of workstation WS, key in I,, O, they are returned to O and O on the display screen, add boundary and use by enter key] just formed order.The order that forms is sent to IPU.
When receiving and handling this order, image processing component IPU produces video data INPUTPORT-1000-50H] and they are returned to workstation WS.Workstation WS is these information that receive one by one.Just press I one by one, N, P, U, T, 1,0,0,0 ,-, 5,0, H and] receive.And workstation WS is until just show INPUTPORT-1000-50H's after receiving last bound symbol.
When determining the data of receiving and be not bound symbol, process enters the #1080 step when #1060 goes on foot, and this step is to determine whether the data that receive are terminal video datas.As if what receive is the terminal video data, data is deposited in the video data storage impact damper in the #1085 step and goes, and process enters the #1100 step simultaneously.
When going on foot, #1060, then to determine whether to have started the video data receiving mode in the #1065 step if judging received data is bound symbols.If result of determination be " non-" (No) since data be status command not in the video data pattern, it is stored in the order of receiving simultaneously in the order reception buffer counts and add 1 so run into bound symbol.If determine that the video data receiving mode starts, then (go up and be in the example after INPUTPORT one 1000-50H) shows, process enters the #1100 step to the data in leaving video data storage impact damper in #1065 step.
Carried out subroutine J at #1100 in step, the order in the order storage impact damper is left in this program checkout in.In detail as shown in figure 25.In the drawings, if the order counting in the order storage impact damper is O, then process is not carried out, but be not equal at 0 o'clock, process is just gone into flow process from the #1505 stepping, will check that in this step order is to belong to any status command, deposits as preceding status data being examined order do identification current status data, and new state data writes as current status data, simultaneously state recognition inspection request flag and repeating transmission censorship is looked into counter reset.Then, in the #1545 step, the order counting subtracts 1, and process turns back to the #1500 step.If the final order counting becomes 0, then process enters the #1550 step to finish command program.
When if subroutine J among Figure 24 and subroutine F finish.In the main flow chart, process enters the #230 step with execution subroutine G.Subroutine G will explain together with reference to Figure 26.In this program, in #2000 step and later step, to detect the status data of that status data before having replaced.When state changed, current status data was deposited as preceding status data, did the demonstration of corresponding variation window with data simultaneously and also changed.
When end of subroutine, in main flow chart, the #230 that process enters main flow goes on foot with execution subroutine H to #235.Subroutine H is a kind of like this program: it checks the accepting state data that send the guidance command data, resends and check to retransmit to send.Detailed in shown in Figure 27.In this program, #3000 goes on foot processing procedure of #3030 step composition.Yet, other state recognition inspection request flag is also made similar processing procedure.Thereby following discussed to #3030 #3000.
At first, to determine in the #3000 step whether state recognition inspection request flag is set up.If be provided with as yet, then process enter determining step # 3035 it with that the NextState sign is set is relevant.When sign is provided with, then retransmit censorship and look into counter after the #3005 step adds 1 in order, to determine that in the #3010 step order retransmits censorship and look into counter 1 and whether become and retransmit censorship and look into circulation repeat number 10000.If judged result for " non-" then process enter #3035 step.When judged result is that "Yes" then is provided with the transmission request flag of same commands and in #3015 step the state recognition sign is resetted.
Then, go on foot at #3020, order is retransmitted censorship and is looked into counter 1 and be set to 0, order is being retransmitted after censorship looking into counter 2 and do to add 1 at next step # 3025 simultaneously, determine before #3030 that order retransmits censorship and look into counter 2 and whether become to retransmit to inspect by ready samples and look into circulation repeat number 5.If determine that the result is sure, then be provided with to retransmit and send error flag in the #3070 step.This flow process is at the #3075 EOS.
When subroutine H finished, main flow entered into the #240 step from #235.It determines whether take place to retransmit send mistake, if inerrancy takes place, process is back to the #10 step and repeats flow process.Send mistake if take place to retransmit, then process enters the #245 step, and this step is wanted executive routine finalization process subroutine L.In this subroutine L, as shown in figure 29, in the command execution window of #5000 in the step, shown an error message, after the false alarm device rang when #5005 goes on foot, program was at the #5010 EOS.
Referring to Figure 19, the performed subroutine A about initial setting up of #5 step in the main flow chart will be discussed below, at first,, sign and constant are done initialization in the #300 step.Then,, X Window is made initialization process,, the interface that is used for doing with IPU communication is carried out initial setting up simultaneously in the #310 step in #305 step.Again, at #315 step execution subroutine B.And subroutine B is distant mould setting program, has carried out this subroutine in this example, starts distant mould and program simultaneously.In this program, there is a process that distant mould is set to send control with the repeating transmission that distant mould is set.
As shown in figure 20, be that processing procedure is sent in execution communication processing and repeating transmission in subroutine B, at first, send counting (counter 2) at #400 step counterweight and carry out initialization.Generate a remote control in the #405 step then request command is set, and again cycle count (counter 1) is carried out initialization in the #410 step.After, process just enters the #415 step, and this step is to determine whether to have on terminal the key input.If the key input is arranged, then after key had been imported, the data in the #420 step with the key input sent out, and process enters the #425 step then.If no key input, then process directly enters the #425 step, and this one determines whether to receive data.
If do not receive data, then process skips to #530, and several order of falling into a trap conducts a survey to order storage impact damper in this step.Check that particularly what deposit is that remote control is provided with recognition data or remote control-setting-do not allow data in order storage impact damper.This moment, because remote control mode can not be set, so the result who checks is remote control-settings-do not fill and permitted data in simulation model.
Then, in the #535 step cycle count is added 1, next will determine two things when #540 goes on foot, promptly whether cycle count has reached and has preset several 10000; Reach and whether received the order relevant with remote control.If period had not both reached 10000, the order relevant with remote control do not receive that then process turns back to the #415 step to repeat from the flow process of #415 step beginning yet.If cycle count has reached 10000 or received a guidance command, then process just enters the #545 step, also will determine two things in this step, whether has received that promptly remote control is provided with recognition data; And remote control-setting-do not allow data whether have been received.If received one of them data then process enter #560 to finish this subroutine.
If the two does not receive that all then process enters the #550 step, in this step, send counting to add 1 repeating transmission.Next a step is #555, and whether it will determine to send counting to 5.If counter has arrived 5, then enter #565, this step is to handle error section.If do not become 5 as yet, then process turns back to #405 to carry out once more from the flow process of #405 step beginning.As mentioned above, if having determined to retransmit send counting not reach 5 as yet, then request command is set and send to realize retransmitting in remote control of #405 step generation.On the contrary, when cycle count does not reach 10000 as yet,, just do not carry out the repeating transmission that remote control is provided with request command and send because process turns back to #415 step of #405 back.
If determined to receive data in the #425 step, then process enters the #430 step, because the work in step had said with the front that the work in step from #1045 to #1095 in the F subroutine was identical from #430 to #520, so do not repeat them here.
After subroutine B carries out in this way, to enter the #320 step by the initial treatment flowchart process, this step is to determine whether to allow to be provided with remote control mode.If it is unallowed that distant mould is set, then to enter subroutine L to handle mistake in the #325 step.Simultaneously owing to this wrong reason stops in #330 step process.If allow to be provided with distant mould, then will determine whether to retransmit the mistake (promptly sending counting to become 5) of sending processing in the #335 step in the repeating transmission of above-mentioned #555 explanation.Send mistake if take place to retransmit, then go into subroutine L with the handling procedure mistake in the #340 stepping, and owing to this error reason stops in #345 step process.
Do not send mistake, process to enter the #350 step if having to retransmit, this step is execution subroutine C.Subroutine C obtains such as getting this information of paper to form the program that remote control shows from which carton for copier part 9.In detail as shown in figure 21, at first, send repeat count at #600 step counterweight and carry out initialization, generate the order of the various states that obtain copier part 9 simultaneously in the #605 step.Then, carry out initialization in the #610 step to accepting the wait cycle count, flow process goes on foot from #615 and begins to carry out.
In subroutine C, the request command that generates various states receives processing with processing and the order of finishing those paid-in data.This subroutine just finishes after all status datas are all received.If do not receive all status datas then process handle to circulate and send control can repeat (five times) by repeating transmission simultaneously until 10000 times to retransmit and give.Situation when this is provided with above-mentioned distant mould is identical.
After subroutine C moves in this way, to determine whether to take place to retransmit to send mistake in the #355 step.If above-mentioned mistake has taken place, then go on foot the executive routine fault processing work of going to #360, stop in the #365 process owing to error reason simultaneously.Do not send wrong the generation if having to retransmit, then carry out the display process process, promptly, colour (#370 step) is set, form window (position of window and size) (#375 step), the visual text (#380) such as character color and font etc. is set, window transform (#390 step) and generation cursor etc.Then, finish the initialization process process.
Turn back to the main flow chart of Figure 16 again, if determine that remote control procedure finishes, so just go into subroutine I from the #250 stepping, this subroutine is used for copier part 9 is done distant mould cancellation and retransmitted and send control cancellation processing in #220 step.Shown in Figure 28 is subroutine I.Change " remote control cancellation " external subroutine I and above-mentioned subroutine B into except " remote control setting " identical, therefore repeats no more here.
After having carried out subroutine I, process just enters the #255 step, and this one will determine whether to allow to do the remote control cancellation.If unallowed, then enter #260 step executive routine error processing procedure, if not unallowed, then go on foot the transmission mistake that determines whether to attach most importance to #265.If mistake really,,, then enter the #275 step to make the program finalization process if inerrancy takes place then in #270 step executive routine error processing procedure.
To the program description of workstation WS intact after, will do an explanation to the program of image processing component IPU below.As shown in figure 30, in the program of image processing component IPU, below the operation of each several part be parallel: v part (section, the section of being translated into below) in this part be finish and operation part 10 between serial communication control; The w part, be finish and terminal between RS-232C Communication Control; The y part is what to finish with the communication of operation part 10, and this communication has the not communications protocol of usefulness, and only those data that data are set that changed is carried out.The a part is to handle the data of being sent here by terminal (being workstation WS) here.
The b part is a state of checking the copier part 9 that sended over by operation part 10.And will be sent to workstation WS by the information about copier part 9 that operation part 10 is sent here goes.(only when information changes); The C part is finished image processing control and distant mould and is shaken hands; Z does not partly do any processing therebetween for idle condition.
In these parts, a, b and c partly form the program part of remote control, and its major part is:
A part (terminal [workstation WS] data processing)
The order that processing is come by terminal, data identification, debugging routine and guidance command (sign being set, order)
B part (status checking)
The status information of the copier part that inspection is sent here from operation part 10, when state changes, complement mark control and generate order.
C part (control image processing component and copier part)
Shake hands with operation part 10, the control of this part and copier part is relevant, the control image processing component and with shake hands with the distant mould operation part 10 relevant with processing procedure.
Identification is sent telecommand here and with its conversion, then it is sent to operation part 10 when each function key of sending here as part c has the ON data simultaneously from workstation WS among the part a in the program of image processing component IPU.The data that key ON data are produced during with push part 10 keys are identical.The order that identifies a workstation WS in part a is converted into the data of key ON in part a.Similarly, having accepted from the key ON data that image processing component IPU sends here key to be set to the normal function that is provided by operation part 10 when operation part 10 responds and changes setting.Function setting data after the change are fed the variation as the copier part inspection state of status data image processing component IPU in the b part to IPU again, and the state about after changing produces status command at workstation WS.
A, b and c part are controlled by following sign:
Remote control is provided with request flag
After this sign is set up, then in the c part, finishes and shake hands with the remote control setting of operation part 10.
In a part, receive and just put this sign when remote control is provided with order.
This sign just is reset in the c part when the operation part information of sending illustrates that distant mode designation has been set to ON.
Remote control cancellation request flag
When this sign is set up, promptly in the c part, finishes with the remote control cancellation of operation part and shake hands.
Also put this sign when in a part, receiving the remote control mandatum cassatorium.
After the operation part information of sending illustrated that distant mode designation has been set to OFF, this sign just was reset in the c part.
Remote control is provided with distinguishing mark
When this sign is put time-out, in a part, generate a remote control recognition command is set, and it is delivered to workstation WS.
After operation part sent out distant mode designation and puts ON, this sign had been put in the c part.
This sign is reset when remote control is provided with order is sent to workstation in b part.
Remote control cancellation distinguishing mark
When this sign is put time-out, in the c part, realize the communication of remote control cancellation recognition command and operation part.
After operation part sent out distant mode designation and puts OFF, this sign had been put in the c part.
This sign is reset when the remote control mandatum cassatorium is sent to workstation in the b part.
XXX (print, end/clear/reset) condition setting request flag
When this sign is put time-out, in the c part, be embodied as and the XXX condition is set and shakes hands with operation part.
When receiving the order of XXX condition setting in a part, this sign has been put.
When by with the shaking hands when c partly receives XXX identification communication data of operation part, this sign is reset.
* * * (print, shutdown/removing resets) condition setting distinguishing mark
When this sign is set, produces XXX condition recognition command in a section, and deliver to workstation WS.
When XXX identification communication data is received by replying in the C section of operation part, just be provided with the nuclear sign.
When the order of XXX condition setting is sent to the workstation WS of b section, this sign is reset.
Function setting XXX key ON request flag
When this sign was set, XXX key ON data were sent to the operation part of C section.
When function setting XXX orders when a section receives, just be provided with this sign.
This sign of operation part that is sent to the C section when XXX key ON data is reset.
Function setting XXX key ON distinguishing mark
When being provided with this sign.The XXX state of the copy machine parts relevant with the XXX key is checked in the b section.
When the XXXON data are sent to the operation part of C section, just be provided with this sign.
When the XXX state was changed in the b section, this sign was reset.
This puts XXX key OFF request flag function
When this sign was set, XXX key OFF data were sent to the operation part of C section.
Be provided with under the XXX key ON identification marking situation in the b section, when the XXX state relevant with the XXX key changes, just be provided with this sign.
When XXX key OFF data are sent to the operation part of C section, this sign is reset.
The XXX state changes notification flag
When this sign is provided with, produce the XXX status command at the workstation WS of b section.
When XXX is changed in the b section, just be provided with this sign.
When producing the XXX status command among the workstation WS in the b section, this sign is reset.
With reference to terminal processes flow process Figure 31, a section is described.At first, judge whether the communication data of self terminal (WS) in the #6000 step.The communication data that comes self terminal is with enter key or long-range relevant order.When communication data, judge whether it is the terminal debug command in the #6005 step.When it is debug command, just handle it in the #6010 step.When it is not debug command, just judge whether it is the long-range request command that is provided with in the #6015 step.When it is long-range when request command is set, just the #6020 step judge this long-range setting whether may, when its may the time, go on foot at #6025 the long-range request flag that is provided be set.When it can not the time, in #6030 step a long-range Reflector that is provided with is set.
At the communication data in #6015 step is not long-range when request command is set, and process just is advanced to the #6035 step, judges whether communication data is long-range cancellation request command.When the result who judges is mandatum cassatorium, process just is advanced to the #6040 step, judges that long-range cancellation whether may.When its possibility, just long-range cancellation request flag is set in the #6045 step.When it can not the time, just long-range cancellation Reflector is set in 6050 steps.
When judging communication data in #6035 step is not long-range cancellation request command, and process just is advanced to the #6055 step, judges whether communication data is function setting XXX order, when judged result yes, process is advanced to #6060 and goes on foot.Set up function setting XXX key ON sign.If supplemental characteristic is arranged, for example duplicate the selection of quantity or copy colors, also in this step, be provided with.Also prepared for other function setting XXX order and #6055 and #6060 similar step in step, #6065 and #6070 step are exactly an example, and the step that is provided is digital corresponding with required function in number.
When judging the communication numeral and be not function setting XXX order, process just is advanced to the #6075 step, judges whether the communication numeral is that condition setting XXX orders.If what judged result was just is provided with XXX condition setting request flag in the #6080 step.For different condition setting XXX orders, provide and #6075 and step similar, that indicate essential numeral in #6080 step.# 6085 and #6090 step are exactly an example.Condition setting XXX order is an order, for example a print request order and a shutdown/removing request command.
When judging communication data is not condition setting XXX when order, just goes on foot at #6095 and judges whether communication data is the order of an XXX state read request.When judgement when being sure, process is advanced to the #6100 step, and execution subroutine d is sent to workstation WS to XXX function setting status command.# 6105 and #6110 step carry out with similar methods.The order of XXX state read request is the order of copier part 9.
As shown in Figure 32, in subroutine d, the condition data of copier part 9 (as duplicating quantity), be to obtain in the operation part that #6200 goes on foot, on the basis of condition data, produce an XXX status command that is sent to workstation WS in the #6205 step, and be reset in #6215 step XXX state change notification flag.Though in the outer reason in #6215 step, be not in response to essentially that copier part 9 states change and a transmission taking place, it is added on this subroutine, this is to be in a section because it occurs in same section of program.
Be described in the state check program of carrying out in the b section with reference to Figure 33.A tilt switch and an integrated circuit (IC) card is housed on the wiring board of copier part 9.In this program, at #6300 and #6305 in the step, check its condition, execution IC-card and chip are chosen control in #6310 goes on foot, checking and carrying out in the step at #6315#6320 respectively in response to control condition changing, that be sent to workstation WS with relevant copier part 9 states of this embodiment arranged again.The details in #6315 and #6320 step is seen subroutine e and the f among Figure 34 and Figure 35.
In the subroutine e of Figure 34, figure be the state of copier part 9 check just be only at remote mode essential, so it is judged in the step at #6400, its remote mode is not ON, process is advanced to #6485 and goes on foot and finish this flow process, when remote mode is ON, because must notify workstation WS state to change, process is advanced to the #6405 step from the #6400 step, and wherein first precondition and present condition are compared with each state respectively.When state changes, at #6410 state just was set in the step and changes notification flag.Just the state of present condition is stored as the past condition in the #6415 step.And in Figure 34, only shown situation (condition that execution is duplicated) of duplicating shape will (#6405, #6410 and 6415 steps) and malfunction situation (paper stop up or box in the situation of no paper) (#6420,6425 and #6430 go on foot) carry out with similar methods as for the processing of other state.
Then, in #6435 step and later step, for the similar processing (for example, box changes to down the situation of box from last box) of function setting state execution.Yet in the situation of function setting state, flow process is different with malfunction with the duplicating state, and #6445 (#6470) and #6450 (#6475) further are provided in this flow process the processing in step.
Figure is that the condition of function setting state in subroutine e is not only changed by the instruction of workstation WS in remote mode, and also an operation by copier part changes, and program e comprises the processing to two kinds of situations.When condition is that a operation by copier part changes.Judged result in #6445 (#6470) step negates that process directly is advanced to #6455 (#6480) step.On the contrary, when condition is to be changed by one of workstation WS instruction, judged result is sure, and after #6455 (#6480) step processing execution, process is advanced to #6455 (#6480) step.
The subroutine f that Figure 35 shows is a routine, and wherein copier part 9 status informations are sent to workstation WS.In this subroutine, judge that successively the command recognition state transmits whether sign is ON, the order unallowable state transmits whether sign is ON, duplicate malfunction and change whether notification flag is ON, and function setting shape will changes whether notification flag is ON.When judged result when being sure, state and status command are delivered to workstation.Subroutine g, h, i and j draw at Figure 36-39 respectively, carry out separately and transmit.
At first see the subroutine g of Figure 36, in #6600 step, judge remote mode when it and identification is set to transmit sign be ON, produce an order in the #6605 step, and send to workstation WS in the #6610 step.Yet this remote mode is provided with identification and transmits sign and reset and finish this subroutine.These treatment steps (#6600-6615) also offer remote mode cancellation identification and print command identification.In addition, though do not draw among the figure, these steps also offer shutdown/clear command identification and reset command identification.
As shown in figure 37, subroutine h is similar with subroutine g, but in Figure 37, the processing procedure that is provided is only limit following each occasion: the remote mode setting does not allow; The remote mode cancellation does not allow; Print command does not allow; Also offer this occasion: shutdown/clear command does not allow and reset command does not allow.
As shown in figure 38, in subroutine i, when judging the duplicating state and change notification flag and be ON, carry out the duplicating state in the #6805 step and transmit subroutine k (seeing Figure 40), when judging malfunction and change notification flag and be ON, carry out malfunction in the #6815 step and transmit subroutine 1 (seeing Figure 41).Connect and see this end of subroutine.
In subroutine j (as Figure 39), detecting an XXX function setting shape will change notification flag is ON, just carries out the relevant state that is provided with and transmits subroutine u (seeing Figure 42), just finishes this flow process then.
Referring now to Figure 43, the C section is described, in this section, that has carried out that image processing partly controls replys and the control of copier part 9.In the #7000 step, be provided with the parameter of image processing.Hardware initialization in the #7003 step to the image processing part.
Then judge whether to ask original communication modes at #7005 and #7015 in the step respectively, whether ask analog form, carry out the reasons are as follows of these judgements: when energized or when analog form is ON, the communication area between operation part 10 and image processing component IPU has only 256 bytes.Yet,, also provide other data corresponding to 7 pages (128 bytes * 7) because image processing is also needed other various parameters.These data are supported by operation part 10.In analog form, obtain data by communication.So when judgement is the request of original communication modes, carries out original communication modes in the #7010 step and handle; And when judgement is analog form, carries out analog form in the #7020 step and handle.
The function setting of operation part 10 can be stored in the IC-card, so the request of an IC-card communication modes is the request of a communication.When judgement is when such request is arranged, carry out the IC-card communication in the #7030 step and handle.
Then, corresponding to the reduction of print button, carry out predetermined processing successively.At first, for the shape of correct scan device.Data must be set thus.Because scanner data is provided with request and is sent by operation part 10, the #7035 step judge whether such request propose, when having such request to occur, just a scanner data is set at #7040 step image processing component IPU for scanner.
When the scanner data setting is finished,, judge whether in the step that at #7045 such request occurs because the prescan request is sent by operation part 10.When request occurring; such as being the processing that shows former state or data are set for automatic exposure; before prescan is carried out, must carry out in the step at #7050, in remote mode shutdowns/removings request command check and handle execution in #7055 goes on foot, after this go on foot " prescan permission " and be sent to operation part 10 at #7060.
When prescan was finished, density was to be provided with on the data basis of former state demonstration and automatic exposure, sends an image processing request thus, judges whether to occur such request in the #7065 step.When request occurs, just carry out #7070 and the #7080 step.Then, owing to send a tangible duplicating request, judge whether to occur such request in the step at #7085.When request occurs; in the #7090 step duplicating data (as dither data and optical filtering data) are set; and carry out the check and correction in the remote mode and handle shutdown/removing request command in the #7095 step, " duplicate and allow " is sent to operation part 10 in the #7100 step.
In the C section, always reply and carry out with operation part 10 by this way.In #7105 step medium-long range mode checking of request being set is included in the processing of C section, it is the implementation circulation again and again normally of C section process, when aforesaid a section receives a order from workstation WS, remote mode just is set request flag is set, judge in the #7105 step whether remote mode is provided with request flag is ON.When ON,, wherein carry out the remote mode setting and reply at #7110 step execution subroutine n.As not being that the ON process just is advanced to the #7115 step, judge wherein whether remote mode is ON, is ON as remote mode, at #7120 step execution subroutine O, wherein carry out checking and handling of remote mode.
As shown in figure 44, subroutine n replys with one that relevant operation part 10 is set with remote mode.Judge whether remote mode may be set in the step at #7200.Figure can not be provided with remote mode during duplicating, go on foot under simulation model at #7205, and " the remote mode setting does not allow " is sent to workstation WS, and flow process finishes.
When judgement be provided with remote mode may the time, process just goes on foot from #7210 advances, and has carried out and once the replying of operation part 10 in this step.At first in the #7210 step, be provided with remote indicator, and remote indicator is sent to operation part 10, the condition changing from normal condition to the remote mode condition is asked in transmission " condition changing request flag ".Then, at next step #7215, process is just waited for up to the condition changing distinguishing mark that receives from operation part 10.
When receiving " condition changing distinguishing mark ON ", confirm that in #7220 step remote mode is activated, after confirming, be set to the sign that recognition command is sent to workstation WS is set long-range in the #7225 step.Then, in the #7230 step the long-range request flag that is provided with just is set, and condition changing request flag " OFF " is sent to operation part 10.Reset in the long-range request flag that is provided with of #7230 step, this is that process is advanced to the #7115 step when making it arrive the above-mentioned subroutine C in #7105 step once more because and replying of operation part 10 carried out.
Among the subroutine n in Figure 44, after the step, process is advanced to the #7240 step at #7235, and here process is waited until and received data, and it shows that " condition changing distinguishing mark " that notification condition has changed is OFF.When receiving data, process is advanced to #7245, finishes subroutine n.
Referring to Figure 45, subroutine O carries out to check and handle in remote mode, specifically; respectively at #7300; #7310,7320,7330; 7340 and #7350 step judge whether to be provided with function setting ON request flag; whether be provided with function setting OFF request flag, whether be provided with long-range cancellation and asked sign clearly, whether be provided with the print request sign; whether be provided with shutdown/removing request flag, whether be provided with the reset request sign.When judged result is sure, just 7305,7315, #7325, #7335, #7345 or 7355 steps are carried out processing procedure.

Above-mentioned process flow diagram does not comprise carries out simulated data remote control control (after this being called the remote control simulated data) when simulated data is provided with key 36 and is operated.Below the remote control simulated data will be described.Duplicate required master data, the design factor of scanner 11 for example, adjust data, mode selection data, the design factor of image processing unit IPU, adjustment data, mode selection data and timing are adjusted data and all are stored in the random access memory (RAM) of operation part 10, this RAM just is called " reserve RAM " later on, because by the back-up source support, this is used when the primary power of copier part 9 cuts out in the data of RAM.
In this embodiment, rewrite data among the reserve RAM that leaves operation part 10 in order to move workstation WS, the rewrite command data are produced by workstation WS, this is to come according to the data that send to image processing component IPU from reserve RAM, and the request of rewrite operation part 10 is by image processing component IPU.
When copier part 9 energized, when image processing unit IPU relative set is raw mode, also have when copier part 9 enters and breaks away from simulation model, the data that are stored among the reserve RAM just are sent to image processing component IPU.The RAM of image processing component IPU has a zone of depositing simulated data.But the data that leave in when power-off among this RAM will be lost (this RAM is not reserve).Communication bus capacity between operation part 10 and image processing component IPU is 256 bytes, and the communication of carrying out simulated data is one page with 128 bytes, with remaining 128 bytes as another data communication, seven pages of communication data correspondences.
In the display of workstation shown in Figure 2, when simulated data being provided with key 36 location, being provided with simulated data and pattern being set display is changed over shown in Figure 55 with mouse 9.Because simulated data is to control with the means of simulation number, messagewindow 43 has shown the analog digital state of input of waiting for.In this occasion, the analog digital of demonstration is raw data " 00 ".
Then, the input of number is by operating ten keys 39 or exposing key (on/following key) 41a and 41b.When using ten keys 39, number is to begin input from most significant digit.Suppose will import " 25 " now, at first locate with mouse 19 " 2 " in ten keys 39, and " 2 " just show on the unit numeral like this, and locate with mouse 19 " 5 " in ten keys 39 then, and show on the unit numeral.
Using/during following key 41a and 41b input " 25 ", because raw value is " 00 ", only uses key 41b ticktack and 25 times " 25 " are set, the numerical value that shows can be used or key 41a and 41b increase again and again or reduce down now.
After with said method input " 25 ", when navigating to printing key 37 with mouse 39, numeral " 25 " has just been entered, and such four data window 49a are presented at the LCD window to 49d, shown in Figure 56.At the data window of 49a, shown existing value of setting of M, C, Y and BK to 49d.Suppose that analog digital 35 is in feature mode and the simulation of color balancing value combines (XXXXXX in the information window of Figure 56 shows " feature mode/color balancing " information).Narrate below the state corresponding to Figure 56 of simulated data word input pattern B.
The value of avy blue from 134 change to 145 method at Figure 57 to shown in Figure 59.See Figure 57 earlier, deep blue data window 49b is with mouse 29 location, and window 49b anti-phase demonstration is arranged to data entry mode like this.Operate 39 inputs 145 of ten keys then and advance anti-phase window (Figure 58).Locate when window 49b uses mouse 19 once more, the data of input have been entered, and anti-phase window is got back to virgin state such as Figure 59 again, is arranged to analog digital input pattern B like this.In analog digital input pattern B, can import analog digital.
Then in this state, analog digital is changed into " 26 " with ten keys 39 (Figure 60) or last key 41b (Figure 61).Afterwards, with mouse 19 positioning printing keys 37, just be presented at color balancing value in the photographic image pattern shown in Figure 62.Just can change the value of M, C, Y and BK at this state.For finishing the simulated data remote control mode, navigate to simulated data with mouse key 36 is set.Then, workstation WS forwards normal mode to from the simulated data remote control mode, and to get back to Fig. 2 such for the demonstration in LCD window 42 like this.
Above-mentioned data change and are provided with and all are performed, and being presented at from Figure 55 to Figure 62 is provided with in the operation part 10 this demonstration is provided, and only provide that the display simulation data are provided with pattern when remote control mode is ON.But much less, be stored in the data of the reserve RAM in the operation part 10, rewrite according to the data change in the pattern being set in simulated data and being provided with.
Simulated data is provided with flow process such as Figure 65 of mode condition.As scheming to show, flow process can be divided into following three kinds of patterns roughly: (1) analog digital input pattern A, can import analog digital therein, but not have the simulated data window to show;
(2) analog digital input pattern B can import analog digital therein, and the simulated data window shows;
(3) data entry mode can be imported simulated data therein, and in other words, the simulated data window is anti-phase.
With reference to Figure 65, carry out the analog digital input subroutine at T1.At next step TS, judge whether printing key 37 is located by mouse, whether enters with this numeral of judging input then.Be not positioned as printing key 37, process is got back to the T1 step.As be positioned, process is advanced to next step, the corresponding data of input digit that therefrom obtain and be provided with.The reason of acquisition and the corresponding data of analog digital from image processing component IPU is data that workstation WS can not find the numeral indication, and numeral can only be set.Specifically, carry out the generation of data request command and the identification of data read command.
After this in T15 step, display simulation data and LCD information, then T20 in the step judgment data window whether located by mouse, when the user is provided with data, just can not the input data, unless required data window of mouse shift-in and put and decide mouse.For this reason, judge whether mouse is put calmly.Do not located by mouse in the step to T30 when judging data window, just carry out T1 to T5 those similar processing of step at T25.Process is got back to the T20 step then.
Gone on foot mid-surely at T20 when judging mouse, process is advanced to T35 step, and wherein data window is anti-phase.In the subsequent T40 step, carry out the data input subroutine, carry out mouse here and put and allow the input data enter surely.Judge that in this step such data enter operation and whether carry out.Decide when judging that mouse is not put, process is returned the T40 step.Put calmly when judging mouse, process is advanced to the T50 step, wherein produces data order is set.Then get back to virgin state at T55 step data window.
Meet next step T60, carrying out the analog input subroutine.Whether data window enters in the data of T70 step judgement by above-mentioned subroutine input by mouse location (promptly in the time can not importing data) in T65 goes on foot when judging.As not entering, process turns back to the T75 step, judges that wherein simulated data is provided with key 36 and whether is located by mouse.As not locating, process turns back to the T60 step.As locating, this flow process is finished.Located by mouse in the T65 step when judging data window, process turns back to the T35 step.
Next will narrate replying between workstation WS, image processing unit IPU and the operation part.Figure 63 has represented when the generation simulated data is provided with order, the execution of replying.Figure 64 has represented when request of data produces, the execution of replying.
At first see Figure 63, workstation WS is that simulated data remote control mode (S100) generation data are provided with order, and order delivered to image processing unit IPU, in other words, when data rewrite, and in data entry mode, during the service data window, in workstation WS, correspondingly just be provided with a sign, the communication district of workstation WS produces data order is set like this, and image processing unit IPU receives and analyze this order (S105).
Then with the operation part communications zone, the data of page or leaf, address, counting and the change of the simulated data that changed to be set with the corresponding to form of communication data (S110).After this, being provided with simulated data changes request flag (S115) and is sent to operation part 10.Operation part 10 receives simulated data and changes request flag, and page or leaf, address and counting (S125) according to changing simulated data write the data that change in the zone of reserve RAM.
Therefore, operation part 10 is provided with simulated data and changes distinguishing mark, and it is sent to image processing component IPU (130).Image processing unit IPU receives this sign (S135), according to page or leaf, the address counting of the simulated data that changes and the data that change, changes the data (S140) in the storage area among the RAM that leaves among the image processing unit IPU.Because must always depositing those, image processing unit IPU leaves the identical data of operation part in, so when the data rewrite of operation part is finished, the data that leave image processing unit in also are rewritten, identical data have so just been deposited, when rewriting is finished, image processing unit IPU changes request flag to simulated data and resets, and it is sent to operation part 10.Operation part 10 receives the simulated data that resets and changes request flag (S150).
Image processing unit IPU produces data and changes recognition command, and it is sent to workstation WS (S152).Workstation WS receives data and changes recognition command (S155).The simulated data that resets that operation part 10 receives from image processing unit IPU changes sign (S150) and simulated data change distinguishing mark is sent to image processing unit IPU (S160).Image processing unit IPU receives distinguishing mark.
When producing data request command, only replying of Figure 64 carried out between workstation WS and image processing unit IPU; Operation part 10 is not included in during this replys.Therefore reason is because the data in the reserve RAM of operation part 10 also leave among the image processing unit IPU in advance, concerning workstation WS, only needs to receive the data from image processing unit IPU.
With reference to Figure 64, workstation WS produces data request command (S200) for the simulated data remote control mode, and it is sent to image processing unit IPU, and image processing unit IPU receives and analyze this order (S225).Image processing unit IPU is according to the page or leaf, address of reading simulated data and count, reading of data from the simulated data storage area of image processing unit IPU, and it is converted to data read command (S210).Afterwards, image processing unit IPU produces data read commands (S215), and it is sent to workstation WS, and workstation receives this order (S220).
Next will narrate the operating process of whole image processing system, this flow process comprises the flow process of simulated data remote control mode.The program of the simulated data remote control mode of workstation WS is identical with conventional remote mode, except interpolation analog digital input pattern A and B, and data entry mode.Below be the request of simulated data and the brief summary of setting.
The request of simulated data
(1) in simulation number input pattern A and B, after the input simulation number, the user presses mouse button in printing key 37 (window) lining.
(2) the window control section is checked (1) incident, and request of data guidance command transmission request flag is set.
(3) request of data guidance command transmission request flag is provided with, in the transmission section of communication data processing section, produce the request of data guidance command, and it is sent to image processing unit IPU, the request of data guidance command transmits and to reset, and data read states (order) is set discerns and check request flag.At the reception area of communication data processing section, check the data that receive.When it is identified as order data and status data, analyze this order, when the data that receive are identified as data read states (order) (page or leaf, address and the counting of data are all being checked), data read states identification request flag is set, and the simulated data show label is set.
(4) in the status data processing section, when the simulated data show label had been provided with, the data presentation of reading was a simulated data.Then, simulated data shows that request flag resets, and simulation number input pattern B is set.
(5) but when the data read states (order) of transmit data request mode command when not being received, by the repeating transmission request of data guidance command that section retransfers in the given time.Exceed schedule time when the repeating transmission time, non-normal termination occurs.The setting of simulated data
(1) after simulated data showed in simulation number input pattern B, when mouse navigated to the data that the user in the display window will revise or be provided with, the window counter-rotating was set to data entry mode.
(2) import after the data in data entry mode, the user presses mouse button in data window.
(3) the window control section is checked incident (2), and data are set guidance command is set transmits request flag.
(4) in the transmission section of communication data processing section, be provided with data guidance command transmission request flag has been set, produce data and guidance command is set and is sent to image processing unit IPU, data are provided with guidance command and transmit request flag and reset and the modification distinguishing mark is set.Revising section, check the data that receive.When data are considered to order data and status data, just analyze this order, when data were considered to the data modification status recognition, data modification identification was checked request flag and is reset and simulated data window display update sign is set.
(5) in the status data processing section, when simulated data window sign is provided with, the demonstration of data window turns back to virgin state, and program state changes to simulation number input pattern B.Then simulated data window display update sign is reset, and turns back to simulation number input pattern B.The setting of remote-control data is finished like this.
(6) still, the data modification status recognition that guidance command is set when the transmission data is not received, and data are provided with guidance command and retransmit in official hour.Exceed schedule time when the repeating transmission time, non-normal termination just occurs.
In the main flow chart of workstation WS, the process flow diagram of Figure 66 is inserted in process flow diagram among aforementioned Figure 16 to 18
#After 100 steps.In this appended drawings (Figure 66),
#Whether the simulation of 100 steps judgement in the simulated data remote control mode is counted input pattern A and is opened.A is under the state of opening at simulation number input pattern, and key 3 is located by mouse 19, and the input of simulation number is in wait (mouse is not in the window) shown in Figure 55.
Open when judging simulation number input pattern A, process just is advanced to T105, and execution subroutine D is as Figure 22.Under this occasion, judge among the subroutine D whether indicator has been moved in the key window that will import the simulation number.Move when judging indicator, just carry out processing procedure window demonstration and Status Flag.Specifically, Figure 22
#800 Hes
#815 steps were checked the window that incident takes place,
#The color of the framework that 805 step change incidents take place and the demonstration of window.
Do not open when judge simulation number input pattern A in the step at T100, promptly simulate number input pattern A and also be not provided with, though perhaps simulation number input pattern A is provided with, indicator is in key window, and process is advanced to the T110 step.
Judge in T110 step and count among the input pattern A that mouse is whether in key window in the simulation of simulated data remote control mode.When it in window, process is advanced to T115 step and removes execution subroutine ES1, wherein checks the operation of mouse 19 and carries out the processing procedure of combination with it.The details of subroutine ES1 is seen Figure 68.Subroutine ES1 except
#940,
#955,
#970 Hes
#985 steps (T940 of Dui Ying Figure 68, T955, T970 and T985 step with it) are identical with the subroutine E of Figure 23.
So only need narrate different parts.Subroutine ES1 and operation combine and import the simulation number.The key of this sub-routine operation be used for importing data ten keys or on/following key, and login the simulation number of having imported.At first window that T940 step decision event takes place whether be ten keys or/on/following key.
As the incident of judging be occur in ten keys or on/following key, carry out
#945 arrive
#965 steps.T955 step and Figure 23's
#955 steps are different, wherein carry out the processing procedure that changes the simulation number, and do not carry out the processing procedure that the communication data sign is set.As previously mentioned, this is because when revising the simulation number, only with ten keys or on/following key, the simulation number with demonstration of input is not logined; Logining of number of simulation is to use printing key 37.So the communication data sign is not set in this stage.
Then whether occur in printing key in T970 step decision event.In the T985 step, storage simulation number also has Figure 23's in addition
#The processing in 985 steps.
Get back to Figure 66, when judging mouse 19 not in window in the T110 step, process is advanced to the T120 step, judges wherein whether input pattern B opens, and is to open as it, at T125 step execution subroutine D (Figure 22).As not opening, process is advanced to the T130 step, judges that wherein mouse is whether in the key window of input pattern B.As in key window, process is advanced to T135 step and removes execution subroutine ES2, and shown in Figure 69, the T1000 that just added that subroutine ES2 is different with aforementioned subroutine ES1 goes on foot to T1020.
In step, check the window that incident takes place to T1020 at T1000, carry out the processing of the data window of combination with it, the 49a of Figure 56 is to the value of M, C, Y and the BK of 49b.
Get back to Figure 66, judge mouse not in key window, judge in the T140 step whether data entry mode is opened in the simulated data remote control mode in the T130 step.As it is to open, and process is advanced to T145 and goes on foot the subroutine D that carries out Figure 22.Do not open as it, judge that in T150 step mouse is whether in the data input window.In window, process is advanced to T1 55 step and removes execution subroutine ES3 as it, and the subroutine ES3 shown in Figure 70 is except T955, and T970 and T985 are outside the step, and be identical with subroutine ES1 (Figure 68).
The main flow of this embodiment comprises that also T160 is to the T215 step, shown in Figure 67.These steps are inserted in the T210 step back of Figure 17.This process flow diagram has just no longer been narrated, because the process flow diagram of it and Figure 66 is identical.
In addition, the execution of subroutine FS and GS substitutes Figure 68's
#225 Hes
#The subroutine F in 230 steps and the execution of G.In subroutine FS, the T220 of Figure 71 goes on foot to T225 and is inserted into Figure 24's
#The back of 1030 subroutine F, the subroutine J among the subroutine F of corresponding Figure 24 is substituted by subroutine JS, and wherein the T260 of Figure 72 is inserted into the subroutine J's of Figure 25 to the T265 step
#1525 Hes
#Between 1545 steps.Among the subroutine GS in Figure 72, T270 is inserted in the subroutine G of Figure 26 to T275 step

As preceding above-mentioned, the workstation WS program of simulated data remote control mode is identical with the program of conventional remote control mode, except adding analog input Mode A and B's and data entry mode program state.
Below narrate the process flow diagram of image processing unit IPU.Simulated data from workstation WS is provided with order in identification of a of the program of image processing unit IPU section and conversion, and sign (simulated data change request flag) is set.In the c section, this sign changes data as simulation and is sent to operation part.Operation part 10 receives simulation and changes request, changes data among the reserve RAM according to page or leaf, address, counting and the data of the change that had before received.After data changed, operation part sent simulated data and changes identification.
Image processing unit IPU changes and identification in the simulated data that the C section receives from operation part, and changes the data of the simulated data storage portions that leaves image processing unit IPU in.Image processing unit IPU is provided with the simulated data change distinguishing mark that sends to workstation WS then.When sign is set in the b section, produces simulated data and change status recognition, and deliver to workstation WS.In a section of image processing unit IPU program, discern and change from the simulated data request command of workstation WS, the corresponding data that is stored in the graphics processing unit IPU simulated data memory block is read out, and simulated data reads instruction to read instruction as the simulated data that is used for workstation WS and produces and send.
Figure 31 is illustrated in processing from the terminal data handling procedure in the section of the data of workstation WS, and the T300 of Figure 74 goes on foot to the T320 step and is inserted in
#After 6105 steps.Therefore, when Figure 31's
#The results that judge of 6105 steps are not for the time, and process enters the T300 step of Figure 74, judges at this place whether communication data is that simulated data is provided with order.When being judged as simulated data when order is set, process enters into the T305 step, and the simulation that storage is received is provided with data, page or leaf, address and count number.In the next T310 step, the simulated data that is sent to operation part is set request flag is set, then, process turns back to the #6000 step of Figure 31.
When judging that in T300 step this communication data is not simulated data when order is set, process enters the T315 step, judges whether this communication data is the simulated data request command.When this communication data is the simulated data request command, at T320 step execution subroutine ds.Then, process turns back to Figure 31's
#6000 steps.
Figure 75 represents subroutine ds.When receiving the simulation request command, data directly are sent to workstation WS from graphics processing unit IPU, need not by shaking hands that operation part shown in Figure 64 is finished.Therefore, in subroutine ds, obtain an exclusive data (T325 step) from the simulated data memory block of graphics processing unit IPU, the data read command produces (T330) and also is sent to workstation WS.When judging that in the T315 step of Figure 74 this communication data is not the simulated data request command, carry out
#6115 steps.Then, process turns back to
#6000 steps.
In the b of executing state verification section program (Figure 30), replace Figure 33's with the subroutine shown in Figure 76 and 77
#6320 go on foot subroutine g and the h in the performed process flow diagram shown in Figure 35.In Figure 76, T400 goes on foot to T415 step (the simulated data recognition command being delivered to the process of workstation WS) and is inserted in the process flow diagram of Figure 36.Among Figure 77, T420 goes on foot to T435 step (simulated data is provided with the process that workstation is delivered in decretum inhibitorium) and is inserted in the process flow diagram of Figure 37.When because the duplicating machine cell response has begun simulated operation and during simulated operation on must break-off station WS in its another one user's operation, be created in T420 and go on foot the simulated data that transmits to the T435 step decretum inhibitorium is set.
In c section (Figure 30) program, T450 step shown in Figure 78 and T455 step are inserted in Figure 43's
#7005 with
#Between 7015 steps.In Figure 43
#Among the subroutine O (Figure 45) in 7120 steps, finish the verification and the processing of remote control mode, T460 step and the T465 step of Figure 79 are inserted in
#After 7350 steps.Figure 80 is illustrated in T465 step execution simulated data the Request Processing subroutine is set.
Referring to Figure 80, when judge in T500 step simulated data be set to can not the time, in the T505 step simulated data setting that is sent to workstation WS is set and forbids the transmission sign.
Process is advanced to T545 step and finishes this flow process then.When determining that in the T500 step simulated data setting is possible, at S110 and the S115 of T510 and T515 step execution Figure 63.At next step T520, process waits for that the simulated data that is sent by operation part changes distinguishing mark.When sending the change distinguishing mark, carry out S140, S145, S150 and the S165 of Figure 63 successively in T525, T530, T535 and T540 step.
The process flow diagram of operation part program is described at last.In replying with image processing unit IPU, as shown in figure 50, T600 among Figure 81 and T605 step are inserted in
#8000 Hes
#In the middle of 8010 steps.Also have, the T610 step of Figure 82 is inserted in
#After 8100 steps.In the subroutine that the T610 step carries out, the simulated data of carrying out shown in Figure 83 changes checking and replying of request.Just being described in detail of this flow process do not provided, because it is consistent with the processing of the operation part shown in Figure 63.
As mentioned above, according to the present invention, can be provided with and change data in first memory that leaves image processing unit in the operation of workstation.So the operator can be sitting in the terminal input and change the simulation number; Concerning he (she), need not from the terminal to the duplicating machine, come executable operations.Have again, because the operation at workstation can be carried out with the input operation method of the operation part that is different from image processing unit, for example, when showing on the big display screen of window at workstation, can handle mouse and be provided with and change simulated data, this is very easily.Have the data in first memory that leaves image processing unit in also to leave in second memory of graphics processing unit again, workstation can be from image processing unit IPU direct sense data.
Clearly, in view of above-mentioned instruction, be likely to modifications and variations of the present invention.So fine understanding within the scope of the appended claims, the present invention also can be applicable to outside the above scope.
