As shown in Figure 1, scanner 102 is connected with host computer 104 usefulness one line 106, is used for transmitting mutually information.
When scanner 102 was connected with host computer 104, whether host computer 104 monitoring scanner 102 can operate as normal, and was connected with its generation when scanner 104 can operate as normal.In addition, host computer 104 also transmits instant messages or steering order to scanner 102, and 102 of scanners are presented at this information on the display screen after receiving instant messages, and this instant messages comprises Email address book, fax number book.On the other hand, scanner 102 transmits scan-image to host computer 104 according to user's indication, if the user selects an address or a number in e-mail address book or fax number book, it starts the operation that transmits mail or fax subsequently.Scanner 102 is presented at the display screen of scanner 102 with the content that it comprised after receiving e-mail address book or fax number book, as: in the LCD.
As shown in Figure 2, when scanner 102 receiving dialed number books, its fax number list content that comprises is shown in the display screen.One is selected in the fax number tabulation 12222 that the user can show in display screen 1022, presses fax button 1024 again, and scanner 102 is sent to host computer 104 with the operation of faxing with scanning document by line 106 subsequently.When display screen 1022 shown be e-mail address the time, then the user can be after selecting to transmit addresses of items of mail, press E-mail conveyance button 1026 scanners 102 more also after producing scan-image, scan-image is sent to host computer 104 to carry out the mail transfer operation by line 106.In addition, after the user pressed scanning button 1028, the scan-image that is produced also was sent to host computer 104 by line 106 and stores.
Can comprise Email and fax number simultaneously by the instant messages that host computer 104 descended to pass, and select to carry out associative operation again behind the one by the user.
As shown in Figure 3, when scanner 102 is connected with host computer 104 (step 202), host computer 104 is sent to scanner 102 (step 204) with being about to Email book or fax number book, scanner 102 is after receiving instant messages, it is presented in the display screen 1022 (step 206), and the user can choose an Email or fax number (step 208) in display screen 1022.After the user selected to finish, it can be pressed E-mail conveyance button 1026 and start E-mail conveyance, or pressed the 1024 startup fax operations (step 210) of fax button.Scanner 102 starts scan operation immediately and produces scan-image (step 212), and scan-image is sent to host computer 104 does further processing (step 214).Host computer 104 after receiving scan-image, at random according to the operation start related application that the user started, fax or scan-image is sent in the specified destination of user (step 216) in the mode of Email.For the user of scanner 102, its need open scanner 102 power supplys and make it and host computer 104 successful lines after, can in display screen 1022, choose number or addresses of items of mail, restart associative operation.
In step 202, can be after scanner 102 be connected by line 106 with host computer 104 and starts power supply, by the state of host computer 104 monitoring scanners 102, and the state of scanner 102 all just often, continue the follow-up flow process of Fig. 3 again.
Host computer can be sent to the at present stored Email book or the content of fax number book in the scanner 102 in step 204, and the information possibility that therefore each scanner is received is different, therefore realizes the purpose of instant reception and display message.
In step 214, when scanner 102 when transmitting scan-image to host computer 104, can simultaneously host computer 104 be sent in the operation that the user started and handles.
As shown in Figure 4, each module of a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes scanner 102 resident (Resident) program or the required control program sign indicating numbers of engine (Engine).The resident module 300 of scanner 102 mainly comprises instruction and separates read through model 302, user's interface information module 304, computer system resource query module 306 and connection status monitoring modular 308.Wherein steering order is separated read through model 302 and is stored and be used to understand the steering order that the user is imported to scanner 102 or computer system 104, as fax or transmit the procedure code of the instruction of Email; 304 of user's interface information modules store the user when host computer 104 is operated, resource method sign indicating numbers such as image that the relational graph interface is required or diagram; Computer system resource query module 306 stores the procedure code that is used for to inquiry host computer 104 present institute's set up applications (as WinFax or Outlook); 308 storages of connection status monitoring modular are used to monitor the procedure code of scanner 102 and computer system 104 connection status; Transmission module 310 then is used to transmit e-mail address book or fax number book to scanner 102 under the instant messages.So when the treating apparatus of host computer 104 starts above-mentioned module, just can read the stored procedure code of this module and carry out relevant operation.Above-mentioned all modules all can be stored in the various storing medias that the brain of can powering reads, as CD (CDROM), flexible plastic disc (FloppyDisk) or MO (Magnetic optical), among, and the treating apparatus that reads power supply brain server 104 in interface by being correlated with reads, or behind the read module procedure code, procedure code is stored in the hard disk or storer of computer system 10.
The graphic interface that the user can provide by resident module 300 on host computer 104, the content of change Email book or fax number book, or change reaches the content of scanner 102 down.
As shown in Figure 5, resident module 300 provides the user to carry out the graphic interface of aforesaid operations in host computer 104.The Email that the fax that is used to change the fax related setting sets button 402, be used to change the Email related setting is set button 404, and the content that the user selects setting item to comprise is presented in the content viewing area 406.When the user increases or deletion content when showing 406 shown addresses of items of mail or fax number, can come complete operation by newly-increased button 408 or deletion button 410, cancel institute when operating, then can be respectively by determining that button 414 or cancellation button 412 finish.
