The image forming apparatus 200 may be a single scanner or a multifunction peripheral that integrates printing, copying, scanning, and facsimile functions, and the present invention is not limited to a specific form thereof.
The image forming apparatus 200 includes a display panel and a control unit. The display area of the image forming apparatus 200 is the display area of the display screen. The control unit controls an image forming process operation of the image forming apparatus 200. Specifically, the control unit is configured to perform processing operations related to data transceiving, command transceiving, and engine control, for example, how to call an interface unit (including but not limited to a USB port, a wired network port, a wireless network port, and the like) through an application program to transceive data, commands, statuses, and the like, and may further obtain received printing parameters through the application program, and resolve the received printing parameters into commands for controlling the engine mechanism to perform specific functions, such as pickup roller rotation parameters and the like; in addition, for the image forming apparatus 200 having the user authority authentication or encryption/decryption processing function, the control unit is also configured to be able to perform the user authority authentication or encryption/decryption processing function; the interface unit in the image forming apparatus 200 is also capable of receiving print job data and print, scan, and fax commands from the driving apparatus, or transmitting scan, fax data, print, scan, and fax status information, etc.
Referring to fig. 2, the image forming apparatus 200 is communicatively connected to the terminal device 100. The terminal device 100 has image forming driver software installed therein, and data transmission is possible between the image forming driver software and the image forming apparatus 200. The terminal device 100 may be a mobile phone, a computer, or other electronic devices. The image forming driver software may transmit the first format icon data to the control unit, and then the control unit may transmit the first format icon data to the first display region.
The image forming apparatus 200 is, for example, a scanner, and before the factory shipment, the factory has set some specific scan formats, such as color PDF (portable Document format), black and white PDF, black and white ofd (objective Form Definition data), color jpeg (joint Photographic Experts group), etc., in a scan drive installation package used in cooperation with the scanner. However, these specific scan formats may not meet the user's requirements, such as a resolution of 300dpi for color PDF scan, and if the user requires a resolution of 600dpi for color PDF scan, a color PDF scan with a resolution of 300dpi may not meet the user's requirements. The user may modify the resolution of the color PDF of the scan driver itself, or may reconfigure a color PDF scan format option with a scan resolution of 600dpi in the terminal device 100, and name the option, for example, "color PDF600 dpi", so that the user may select another graphic to display the color PDF600dpi for the convenience of recognizing the difference between the scan resolution and the color PDF.
The following describes the arrangement of color PDF scan format options named "color PDF600 dpi" and having a resolution of 600dpi, by taking the terminal device 100 as a computer.
As shown in fig. 3, the computer calls up a pull-down menu 100 for setting scan format options, selects a "configuration" option 101, enters a "configuration" option window 200 shown in fig. 4, then clicks a pull-down menu 201 for "task shortcut" and selects a "new shortcut" 202 (as shown in fig. 5), enters a new shortcut window 300 shown in fig. 6, inputs "color PDF600 dpi" in a text box 301, then clicks "browse" 304, then selects any one of the pictures stored in the computer, for example, selects any one of the pictures in a folder named "picture", then clicks "ok", then the picture 303a in the picture box 302 of fig. 6 is changed to the picture 303b in the picture box 303 of fig. 7, and simultaneously returns to the "configuration" option window 200 shown in fig. 8, at which time the "task shortcut" has displayed a newly established "color PDF600 dpi" option. Next, in the "configuration" option window 200, the "setting" 203 is clicked, the "setting" window 400 shown in fig. 9 is entered, the "setting" option 401 is clicked, the "resolution" 403 under the "general" option 402 is clicked, the "600 dpi" is selected, and the "confirmation" 404 is clicked, so that the configuration of the color PDF scan format option having a resolution of 600dpi (as shown in fig. 10) is completed.
As shown in fig. 11, the terminal device 100 transmits the scan format option of "color PDF600 dpi" configured to the image forming apparatus 200, and the first display area of the image forming apparatus 200 receives the scan format option of "color PDF600 dpi" and displays an icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi".
When the icon corresponding to the color PDF600dpi is selected, the first display area transmits the selected information of the icon corresponding to the color PDF600dpi to the control unit, the control unit generates second format icon data corresponding to the first state of the icon and transmits the second format icon data corresponding to the first state to the second display area, and the second display area displays the icon corresponding to the second format icon data corresponding to the first state. As shown in fig. 12, when the icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi" is selected, the second display area displays an arrow pointing to the icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi". As shown in fig. 13, when the icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi" is selected, the second display area may display a box enclosing the icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi". In particular, the present invention does not limit the form of the icon displayed in the second display region.
When the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is not selected, the second display area receives the second format icon data in the second state transmitted by the control unit of the image forming apparatus 200, and displays the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state to prompt the user that the first format icon data is not selected. When the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected or not selected, the second display area displays the icons corresponding to different second format icon data, so that a user can visually know whether the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected or not, and the trouble that whether the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected or not is uncertain when the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is blocked by a finger is avoided.
As shown in fig. 11, when the icon corresponding to "color PDF600 dpi" is not selected, the second display area does not display the second format icon data, i.e., the second display area does not display any information.
The icon corresponding to the first format icon data transmitted by the image forming driving software and the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the first state or the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state generated by the control unit are icons in different formats. The icon corresponding to the second format icon data is an original prompt icon stored in the image forming apparatus 200.
The first format icon data may be icon data in PNG format, and the second format icon data may be icon data in BMP format. The first format icon data and the second format icon data may be icon data in other formats.
The icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the first state may be a display of the icon corresponding to the second format icon data, and the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state may be a blank icon, that is, the icon corresponding to the second format icon data is not displayed. The icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state is set to be a blank icon, so that the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the first state is obviously different from the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state, and the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is more easily distinguished from the two states which are not selected.
The icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the first state may also be an icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the first color, and the icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second state may also be an icon corresponding to the second format icon data in the second color. The icon corresponding to the second format icon data may be a symbol, a text, or the like.
In some embodiments, the area of the first display region is larger than the area of the second display region. Setting the area of the first display area to be larger than the area of the second display area can make the operation area for selecting the icon corresponding to the first format icon data large enough, the selection operation is more effective, and at the same time, it can be observed whether the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected, so that the display of the icon corresponding to the first format icon data and the icon corresponding to the second format icon data is more coordinated.
The dynamic icon display method of the embodiment of the application divides the display area of the image forming device 200 into a first display area and a second display area, the second display area surrounds the periphery of the first display area, the first display area receives the first format icon data transmitted by the image forming driving software and displays the icon corresponding to the first format icon data, when the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected, the second display area receives the second format icon data of the first state transmitted by the control unit of the image forming device 200 and displays the icon corresponding to the second format icon data of the first state to prompt the user that the icon corresponding to the first format icon data is selected, so that when the prompt icon set by the image forming device 200 itself is not consistent with the icon format issued by the image forming driving software, the icons of different formats are displayed in different areas, the second display area is used as the indication display area, technical troubles of superposition of icons in different formats are eliminated, the problem that the pressing effect is not easy to observe when the first display area is blocked by a finger is avoided, and the dynamic display of the icons in different formats and the state of the icons on the display can be realized to prompt the current operation state of a user.
