When the user carried out the instruction manipulation of selecting any one icon, the user also selected and will be to corresponding another icon of subsequent treatment of document execution then, and this can obtain by the icon corresponding processing of execution with selection for the first time.Thereby the user connects each icon designated treatment (Fig. 2 B) according to the mode of visioning procedure figure with line.In icon pane (pane) A in picture left side, be arranged with a plurality of processing icons.For example, prepared with such as be stored in the file, transfer files, transmission mail, facsimile transmission and printing other handle corresponding icon.
If the user has selected an icon from the icon of being arranged, then with selected icon display on the main pane B of visioning procedure figure.Then, between selected icon and the previous icon of selecting, draw a line.This line is represented subsequently the result in the stage formerly to be carried out to handle.In addition, if selected to be presented at one of a plurality of icons among the main pane B, then the display setting value is imported pane C.In this setting value input pane C, can import detailed setting value with the corresponding processing of selected icon.For example, when selecting the scintigram timestamp, show as " scanning " of function name and be used to set the picture of processing parameter.Processing parameter can comprise selection, color mode (monochromatic or colored) and the resolution that reads size, the direction of placing document, picture quality.Utilize these pictures, the user generates the processing data of description of describing series of processing steps.
For example, be used for sending by Email in generation under the situation of processing data of description of the document read by scanner, the user is from the picture and selecting shown in Fig. 2 A " from the processing of scanning beginning ".Then, the picture shown in the displayed map 2B shows the icon that expression scans on main pane B.
The corresponding processing command of each icon in PC 2 storages and the storage part 22.Processing command is represented the processing instruction about the control part 11 of image processing apparatus 1.In this exemplary embodiment, handle data of description and comprise at least one the processing instruction key element that to carry out selectively according to condition.As concrete example, the processing instruction key element that takes place will to carry out under the condition of scarce paper in the time of can forming image on A4 paper is set to the order such as " replacing with B4 ".
In this case, the icon of selection such as " print image data " and " in response to the processing of mistake generation " on the picture shown in Fig. 2 A.The parameter of " paper uses up " conduct " in response to the processing of mistake generation " is set in addition.Then, from command icon, select " the setting paper size is B4 ", and selection " continuing image forms ".Then, drafting is according to the line of these selected icons that are linked in sequence of handling.
The control part 21 of PC 2 is the order of each icon set with the setting-out series arrangement, to generate processing instruction data (processing data of description).In addition, control part 21 sends to image processing apparatus 1 with view data and these processing instruction data (processing data of description).
[based on the processing of handling data of description]
The control part 11 of image processing apparatus 1 when receiving view data and processing instruction data (processing data of description), with this view data with they are stored in the storage part 12 when the processing instruction data are associated.
Then, control part 11 reads the processing instruction data, and carries out processing successively according to the order that is included in the processing instruction data.For example, if the primary importance place as described above in the processing instruction data comprises the instruction of " print image data ", then control part 11 reads the view data that is associated according to this instruction from storage part 12, and the view data that is read is outputed to image forming part 13 to begin printing.In addition, if make a mistake in print procedure and this mistake is " paper uses up ", then control part 11 checks in " processing that takes place in response to mistake " whether described the processing that uses up in response to paper.In this case, as mentioned above, if described the instruction of " the setting paper size is B4 " and the instruction of " continue image form " in the processing instruction data, then control part 11 indicating image formation portions 13 are set at B4 with paper size, and go back indicating image formation portion 13 and continue images and form.Therefore, the processing instruction that continues to print with B4 selectively will usually be carried out processing to the image processing apparatus 1 of this exemplary embodiment according to depending on the condition that " paper uses up " mistake takes place.Because image processing apparatus 1 is carried out various processing according to the conditional branching mode, so image processing apparatus 1 can be carried out processing neatly.
[modified example]
In the interface screen that is used to generate the processing instruction data, the control part 21 of PC 2 can be based on selectively icon being comprised into icon pane as the content of the input image data of processing target input.Therefore, control part 21 is with each icon and storage icon when hidden conditional is associated.For example, the icon for facsimile transmission is set at hidden conditional with " input image data is a color image data ".That is, in this case, if color image data is imported among the PC 2, then control part 21 does not show the facsimile transmission icon.Therefore, control part 21 comes to show executable processing based on view data in the icon pane.Therefore, can easily create the processing instruction data.
Even select in the processing data of description that generates before the prompting user is before to handle data of description, control part 21 also can show the processing data of description as candidate item selectively according to the content of input image data.In this case, satisfy the logic of the hidden conditional be associated with each icon and (OR) time, control part 21 shows satisfied processing data of description when view data.For example, suppose that the particular procedure data of description comprises the icon of " facsimile transmission ", " error situation " and " transmission mail ", and " colour " is set at the hidden conditional of " facsimile transmission ", will " size is for more than the 500K byte " be set at the hidden conditional of " mail transmission ".In this case, if view data satisfies the condition of " colour " or " size is more than the 500K byte ", then control part 21 does not show and " facsimile transmission " corresponding processing data of description, or do not show with as " transmission mail " corresponding processing data of description of candidate item.
On the contrary, control part 21 after the user makes a choice, can show selectively have the processing instruction data that generated or generate or the view data of selected processing data of description as forming candidate item.Then, control part 21 can allow the user to select to form as image the view data of object.
In this case, control part 21 is previous to be received multiple bar chart as the appointment of data as handling candidate item, and with the image data specified accumulation and be stored in the storage part 22.In addition, control part 21 from be accumulated as the view data of handling candidate item, show selectively do not satisfy be included in generate or selected processing data of description in the logic and (OR) view data of the hidden conditional that is associated of each icon.Then, control part 21 allows the user to select process object from the view data that shows.Afterwards, control part 21 with selected view data and generate or selected processing instruction data send to image processing apparatus 1.
In addition, control part 21 can generate the processing instruction data in advance or receive selection to the processing instruction data.Control part 21 to handle treatment of picture program notice be included in generate or selected processing data of description in the hidden conditional that is associated of each icon logic with (OR).Handling procedure can be carried out control, not form the image that does not satisfy notification condition.For example, when generating or select to comprise the processing instruction data of " facsimile transmission ", control part 21 receives the notice that expression can not receive the condition of color image data.Thus, control part 21 is carried out control, so that do not generate " colour " view data (for example, allowing the user only to select " monochrome " or " gray level " as color mode).
In the processing of device program, control part 21 can be included in the processing instruction data that generated or selected by the user with the processing command that the content of the view data of importing as process object is added explicitly in advance.Then, control part 21 can send to image processing apparatus 1 with gained processing instruction data.For example, when the view data of input was half tone dot (halftone-dot) data, control part 21 can add the order that ripple is removed in indication.
In the processing of device program, control part 21 can be carried out following processing.Control part 21 receives the setting of password table (wherein user name and password are interrelated), and the setting of password table is stored in the storage unit 21.With reference to about the directory information (such as the information of document name or user name) as the view data of process object input, behind the input username and password, control part 21 can generate and make and carry out the processing data of description of printing.Then, this processing data of description comprises following command sequence; (i) password of checking the user name of input and input whether respectively be included in about user name in the directory information of the view data of input and the password that in the password table, is provided with explicitly with this user name consistent; (ii) have only and when they are consistent each other, just carry out printing.
Be included in order in the processing instruction data and can comprise processing based on the content that is included in the rendered object in the view data.For example, suppose to exist as rendered object, the wherein descriptor and the checking signal table (referring to Fig. 3) associated with each other of addresses of items of mail.In this case, can provide following order: after with reference to this table, " sending mail " to addresses of items of mail with checking signal.In this case, as based on this process of commands, specify a pair of the elephant in the rendered object that the control part 11 in the image processing apparatus 1 comprises in the view data that receives, this object be designated as will reference rendered object.With reference to specified rendered object, control part 11 obtains and the corresponding addresses of items of mail of clauses and subclauses of having checking signal, and mail is sent to the addresses of items of mail of acquisition.In this case, if view data is the data of describing with PostScript, then control part 11 is with reference to the description relevant with the rendered object of appointment, obtains the description (its be designated as will with the drafting of checking symbol is instructed the information of adjacent drafting) to addresses of items of mail and mail sent to the addresses of items of mail of acquisition.
Comprise under the multipage data conditions in view data to be processed, control part 21 can with generate or selected processing instruction data are associated with any page or leaf.For example, price list request and decision request are created as a document, and the image data transmission of the document is arrived image processing apparatus 1.In addition, comprise that the processing instruction data that send the instruction that faxes to the request position are associated with the price list requested page.In addition, in the decision requested page, described the address of the position of request decision, and comprised that the processing instruction data of the instruction of " when being accomplished to the facsimile transmission of request position, sending the decision requested page " can be associated.
Like this, different processing instruction data are associated with page or leaf respectively.Therefore, can make the instruction of more flexible processing.

According to instruction is set, the control part 21 of PC 2 will carry out synthetic view data (composograph data) with being associated as the processing instruction of the form information of a series of processing (it will send with print command when carrying out when synthesizing the synthetic instruction of view data) or the part of this processing instruction.Then, control part 21 is with these data storage in storage part 22 (Fig. 6).
Here, in " part of processing instruction ", information setting that will appointment in single processing in processing instruction is blank.For example, in the transmission instruction to Email, it sends the destination and is set to blank.When generating processing instruction, PC 2 receives and will be included in the input that is set to the information in this blank part.
Below, the situation that will describe " notice " is as a specific example.For example, " notice " comprises and is used for sending view data and tentation data being accumulated in file server and sending the transmission instruction of the reference information (URL (URL(uniform resource locator))) of cumulative data by Email by Email.Suppose with the specific purposes of each data be set to blank." notice " is associated with the marking image of the character string that comprises " notice ".
When the user came input instruction with document printing by operation PC 2, the control part 21 of PC 2 showed the interface screen of printer driver.On this interface screen, the user can be provided with the information such as printed copy number or paper size.In addition, the user can be on interface screen executable operations instruct to synthesize the image (Fig. 7) of similar " notice " mark.
On the interface screen of Fig. 7, can be provided with: be included in the character string (being " notice " in this example) in the marking image; Font, size, color and transparency that drafting character string is used; The frame shape; Have or not frame; The angle of frame; Synthesising position.In addition, on interface screen, can show the field that is used to specify " notice destination ", and allow the user to insert in the field of demonstration as the addresses of items of mail of notice destination.
When receiving in order to the instruction of carry out printing from the user, the control part 21 of PC 2 generates the data that file and pictures are described portion (it forms wherein the image that the view data with the marking image of " notice " and document is combined to according to instruction).In addition, control part 21 generates the processing instruction data portion that composograph is sent to the notice destination (or corresponding notice destination) of input.In addition, control part 21 is connected to processing instruction data portion with head with the file and picture portion of description, generating print command, and the print command that is generated is sent to image processing apparatus 1.
Image processing apparatus 1 receives such print command, and based on the data that file and picture is described portion generate the marking image of wherein " notice " and the document data that will print is combined to image.In addition, image processing apparatus 1 is handled with reference to input that data in the director data portion are printed composograph and composograph is sent and output to the addresses of items of mail of being appointed as the notice destination.
As another example, the instruction that generates processing instruction can be associated with stack and the image that synthesizes, but is not associated with processing instruction or its form.For example, the instruction that is used in processing instruction address of the user of removal except the user of previous registration from specify as the user of destination can be associated with " secret " mark of expression " secret ".When synthesizing the instruction of " secret " mark, the control part 21 of PC 2 generates print command.In this case, even the instruction of input comprises the address (this address before be not registered as the destination) that comprises the user by the address of appointment in the processing instruction of mail transmission and the transmission processing instruction, control part 21 is also removed nonregistered (NR) user's address from processing instruction.
Control part 21 can be selected form information by utilizing the information (for example, such as the additional information on user or date) that is associated with the document that will print, and can generate processing instruction based on selected form information.
For example, when the additional information of expression " forbidding duplicating " is associated with document, selection is used for when printing file and picture being transferred to the form information of a series of processing instructions of predetermined file server, and will be included in by the processing instruction that this form information is represented in the print command to document.
In addition, when selected form information is section processes when instruction that will replenish destination information subsequently, control part 21 can ask to carry out user's input to the print command of document will replenish destination information in the section processes instruction subsequently.In this case, control part 21 generates the processing instruction that comprises input information.In addition, control part 21 is included in this processing instruction in the print command to document.
[to the verification of processing instruction]
The control part 21 of PC 2 can generate the image of the content of the processing instruction that expression generates by utilizing the icon shown in Fig. 2 A and the 2B.In this case, according to the icon of the series arrangement correspondence of processing instruction, and connect relevant document to be set to process flow diagram with line.
For example, as " from printing the processing of beginning ", can generate following processing instruction.
(1) image data transmission that will handle is to file server
(2) reference information (URL etc.) with the storage purpose ground of this view data in file server sends to named place of destination
(3) send view data to be processed by mail.
In this case, arrange the icon A of expression " processing that begins from printer ", and generate and to represent that with line the icon B of " being transferred to file server " is connected to the image of icon A.In addition, utilize line to connect the icon C that expression " sends to named place of destination with the reference information of memory location ".And, when having a plurality of destination, utilize line to be connected to icon B at a plurality of icon C of each destination.
Similarly, utilize line will represent that the icon D of " sending view data to be processed by mail " is connected to icon A.When having a plurality of destination, utilize line to be connected to icon A at a plurality of icon D of each destination.
