2. Description of the Related Art In recent copying machines, many high-performance copying machines having post-processing functions such as sorting and stapling and automatic double-sided printing have been commercialized. In such advanced copiers, besides setting the number of copies,
There are many setting conditions that need to be set, such as whether or not double-sided printing is performed and whether or not sorting is performed. For this reason, the user needs to set a plurality of conditions before executing the copying operation in the above-mentioned advanced copying machine. However, usually, the display screen provided in the copying machine is not large enough to display all of the plurality of setting conditions. In order to display the status, it is necessary to switch the screen many times.

In the case of a video remote controller, a small display is displayed on the remote controller itself even though a plurality of conditions, such as date and time, time, channel, and recording time, must be set when performing scheduled recording. There may be only a screen or no display screen itself.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
It is as follows.

The setting condition checking system according to the first embodiment exemplifies a case where a high-function copying machine is used as an electronic device for setting a plurality of conditions, and a television is used as an electronic device having a large screen display unit. Note that, in the present invention, an electronic device that performs a plurality of condition setting inputs and an electronic device that includes a display system are not limited to high-function copying machines and televisions.
For example, the electronic device to be set refers to any electronic device that may require input of a plurality of selection conditions. Also,
The electronic device provided with the display system may be any electronic device provided with a large screen display unit capable of displaying the condition setting status at a time, such as a display device of a personal computer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the setting condition confirmation system according to the present embodiment includes an electronic device (hereinafter, referred to as a setting device) 1 requiring a plurality of condition settings, and a large screen display unit (hereinafter, referred to as a setting device). (Hereinafter simply referred to as a large-screen display unit) 4.

The setting-side device 1 has a screen display unit 3 for a user to make settings while checking conditions when setting conditions.
However, since the screen display unit 3 is not large enough to display all the setting conditions at once, it is necessary to perform input by switching a plurality of items for each input item. When the user checks the condition setting status, the display-side device 2 receives all or a part of the conditions set in the setting-side device 1 and displays a large screen for displaying the conditions on one screen. The display unit 4 is provided.

That is, when the setting conditions are to be checked on the setting-side device 1, the size of the screen display unit 3 is not sufficient, and as shown in FIG. 2, the screen is switched to a plurality of screens (screens 3a to 3c). Need to confirm the setting conditions. However, in the setting condition confirmation system according to the present embodiment, all the conditions set by the setting device 1 are notified to the display device 2 and displayed on the large screen display unit 4 at a time. Confirmation can be performed easily.

Here, a schematic configuration of the setting-side device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the setting side device 1
An input unit 5, an input analysis unit 6, a control unit 7, a condition setting unit 8, a notification unit 9, a mechanical unit 10, and a screen display unit 3 are provided. The input unit 5 is for the user to input conditions and instructions, and the execution button 11 and the confirmation button 12 shown in FIG. 1 correspond thereto. The content input by the user at the input unit 5 is analyzed by the input analysis unit 6.

When a setting condition is input, the input setting condition is transmitted to the condition setting unit 8 and stored in a memory (not shown). At the same time, the condition set by the user can be confirmed. The display on the screen display unit 3 is updated as necessary.

When an instruction to execute the copy operation is input, the content of the instruction is transmitted to the control unit 7 and then
The information is transmitted to the mechanical unit 10 to execute the copy operation.
At this time, the control unit 7 refers to the condition stored in the condition setting unit 8 and instructs the mechanical unit 10 on the content of the copy operation. The mechanical unit 10 performs a copy operation such as reading or printing a document based on the designated setting conditions.

When an instruction to confirm the current setting condition is input, the content of the instruction is transmitted to the notification unit 9. The notification unit 9 refers to the conditions stored in the condition setting unit 8 and notifies the outside (that is, the display device 2 in this case) of the current condition setting status. Note that, in the setting-side device 1, the notification unit 9 corresponds to a setting condition notification unit described in the claims.

Next, a schematic configuration of the display device 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

The display device 2 includes a display data input unit 1
3, a display control unit 14, a display switching unit 15, an interrupt input unit 16, an all-conditions storage unit 17, and a large-screen display unit 4. In the normal operation, the display device 2 is
The display data input from the display data input unit 13 is transmitted to the large screen display unit 4 via the display control unit 14 and the display switching unit 15, and the display data is displayed on the large screen display unit 4. Further, the display-side device 2 periodically performs polling in the interrupt input unit 16, and when an interrupt occurs (that is, when the setting-side device 1 notifies the condition setting status), Information indicating that an interrupt has occurred is notified from the interrupt input unit 16 to the display control unit 14. The display control unit 14 performs control to interrupt the current display on the large screen display unit 4 based on the notification.

The condition setting status input from the interrupt input unit 16 is temporarily stored in the all condition storage unit 17. When the reception of data (condition setting status) to be displayed in the interrupt input unit 16 is completed,
The screen is switched by the display switching unit 15, and the current condition setting status is displayed on the large screen display unit 4. As a result, the user can check the condition setting status on the large screen display unit 4 of the display device 2. Next, when a notification of the completion of the confirmation from the user is transmitted from the interrupt input unit 16 or a predetermined time has elapsed, the display control unit 14 returns the large screen display unit 4 to the normal operation, and the display data input unit The screen information input from 13 is displayed again.

In the display device 2, the interrupt input section 16 and the display control section 14 correspond to the setting condition receiving means and the display control means, respectively, as described in the claims.

The operation when the user sets a plurality of conditions on the setting device 1 and thereafter checks the current condition setting status using the display device 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, as in the case of a conventional electronic device, the user inputs a plurality of condition settings in the setting device 1 in advance in order to execute a copying operation (S1). At this time, only a part of the condition items set and input at that time is displayed on the screen display unit 3 of the setting-side device 1. In order to input a plurality of condition settings, for example, the screens 3a to 3 in FIG.
As shown in c, input is performed by switching a plurality of screens for each input item.

When the user presses the confirmation button 12 after the necessary condition setting input is completed and before copying is executed (S
2) The setting device 1 notifies all the setting conditions of the copying machine or a part thereof to the display device 2 including the large screen display unit 4 (S3). The display-side device 2 having the large-screen display unit 4 receives the condition setting status from the setting-side device 1 and displays the content on the large-screen display unit 4 (S4).

The user checks the condition setting status displayed on the display device 2 (S5). If there is an error in the content (NO in S6), the input process of the condition setting of the setting device 1 is performed again. Returning to (S1), necessary conditions are re-input (S1). If all settings are correctly entered (S
(YES in 6), the user presses the copy execution button 11 of the setting-side device 1 to execute the work of the setting-side device 1 (S).
7). When the copy execution button 11 is pressed, the setting-side device 1 actually executes a copy operation (S8).

The operation of the setting device 1 when performing the above operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the copying machine as the setting-side device 1 waits for a user input (S11). When the input is performed (S12), an operation corresponding to the input button is performed. When the copy execution button is pressed, the copy is executed according to the condition setting at that time (S13), and the operation is thereafter terminated.

If the input by the user is to set or change the condition, the current condition is displayed on the small screen of the copying machine (S14). Since the information cannot be displayed at one time, the user switches the page (S15), and inputs the setting conditions when the screen for changing is displayed (S16). After inputting the conditions, the screen of the copying machine is updated again (S17).
The process returns to waiting for user input (S11).

If the input by the user is the status confirmation button, all or part of the current condition setting status is notified to the outside using infrared rays (S18), and the process returns to waiting for user input (S11).

Similarly, the operation of the display-side device 2 including the large-screen display unit 4 when a plurality of conditions are selected by the setting-side device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the television, which is the display device 2 having the large-screen display unit 4, waits for an interruption of the setting condition notification (S21). If there is no interruption, normal processing such as television screen display is performed. While performing (S22), the interrupt waiting state is continued (S21). If there is an interrupt, the condition setting status notified from the setting-side device 1 is received (S23), and after the reception is completed, the current display data is saved to display the condition setting status on the screen. (S24). Thereafter, the condition setting status is displayed on the large screen display unit 4 (S25).

The display side device 2 continues to display the condition setting status on the large screen display unit 4 while the user checks the screen. Then, when the user confirms the condition setting status (S26), the display data saved in S24 is restored (S27), and the process returns to interrupt waiting (S21). It is assumed that the display data is restored when a notification of the end of the confirmation is received from the user or automatically after the display for a certain period of time.

The storage of the display data in S24 is not always necessary in the setting condition confirmation system of the present invention. For example, when a television is used as the display-side device 2 and a television broadcast is received in which data is transmitted without interruption in the normal processing of S22, the television screen is saved. That is not appropriate. However, when a display device or the like that does not frequently update data is used as the display-side device 2, it is preferable to save the current display data before displaying the condition setting status.

Embodiment 2 Another embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

In the first embodiment, the case where the control panel of the setting device 1 for inputting the setting is provided on the main body of the setting device 1 is described. May be set.

FIG. 8 shows a screen display section 19 of the remote controller 18 and a large screen display of the display device 2 when the remote controller 18 is used as a means for inputting setting conditions in the setting device 1. 3 shows a setting condition confirmation screen in the unit 4. That is, here, the user does not directly input to the setting-side device 1 itself, but inputs the setting conditions using the remote controller 18 attached to the setting-side device 1. Since the screen display section 19 provided on the remote controller 18 is not large enough to display all the setting conditions at once, a plurality of input items are switched and input is performed. There is a need. The remote controller 1
8 may not have the screen display unit 19 itself.
Further, the remote controller 18 has an execution button 20 and a confirmation button 21 corresponding to the execution button 11 and the confirmation button 12 in the setting-side device 1 in FIG.

At this time, when trying to confirm the setting conditions on the remote controller 18, since the size of the screen display section 19 is not sufficient, the screen is switched to a plurality of screens (screens 19a to 19c) as shown in FIG. It is necessary to check the setting conditions. However, in the setting condition confirmation system according to the present embodiment, all the conditions set by the setting device 1 are notified to the display device 2 and displayed on the large screen display unit 4 at a time. Confirmation can be performed easily.

The operation of the setting condition confirmation system when the user sets a plurality of conditions on the setting device 1 using the remote controller 18 will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, when the user intends to make a recording reservation for a video which is the setting device 1, as in the conventional case,
First, a plurality of condition settings are input to the remote controller 18 (S31).

In the above-mentioned S1, an input is made in accordance with the procedure for video reservation, and when the input of the condition setting is finally completed, the confirmation button 21 for confirming the input condition is pressed (S32). The status of the condition setting input by the user is transmitted to the display-side device 2 including the large-screen display unit 4 (S33). The display device 2 receives the condition setting status from the remote controller 18 and displays the content on the large screen display unit 4 (S3).
4).

The user confirms the setting conditions displayed on the large screen display section 4 of the display side device 2 (S35), and if there is an error in the contents (NO in S36), the condition by the remote controller 18 is again used. Returning to the setting input process, necessary conditions are input again (S31). When all the settings are correctly input (YES in S36), the user presses the execution button 20 of the remote controller 18 (S3).
7) The condition set by the remote controller 18 is transmitted to the setting device 1 (S38), and the setting device 1 executes a reservation operation based on the transmitted setting condition (S39).

The setting status or a part thereof is notified to the bidirectional remote controller 23 (S43). next,
When the user presses the confirmation / display button of the bidirectional remote controller 23 toward the display device 2 (S44), the bidirectional remote controller 23 transmits the condition setting status of the setting device 22 to the display device 2. . The display device 2 receives this condition setting status and displays the information on the large screen display unit 4 (S45).

The user confirms the condition setting status displayed on the display device 2 (S46), and if there is an error in the content (NO in S47), the process of inputting the condition setting of the setting device 22 again. Returning to (S41), necessary conditions are re-input. When all settings are correctly input (S47
Is YES), the process proceeds to the execution of the copying operation according to the user's instruction.

When the copy execution operation is performed using the bidirectional remote controller 23 (YES in S48), the user points the bidirectional remote controller 23 toward the setting-side device 22 and presses the execution button (S49). In this case, the bidirectional remote controller 23

The condition setting status is transmitted from the bidirectional remote controller 23 to the setting device 22. Upon receiving the condition setting status, the setting-side device 22 updates its own condition setting, and then executes a copying operation. still,
In this case, the input unit 26 for selecting and inputting the condition setting status corresponds to the selecting means described in the claims.

The conditions that the user uses relatively frequently are stored in advance in the bidirectional remote controller 23, and are selected when the copy operation is executed, whereby the conditions in S41 in the flowchart of FIG.
In addition, the setting or checking operation in S48 can be omitted, and the convenience of the user at the time of executing the copy is improved.

In this case, the bidirectional remote controller 23
Notifying the display-side device 2 instead of the setting-side device 22 of the condition setting status selected in
It is of course possible to check the condition setting status stored in the.

Next, the operation of the setting-side device 22 when performing the above operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the copying machine as the setting-side device 22 waits for a user input (S61). When the input is performed, an operation corresponding to the input button is performed (S6).
2). When the copy execution button is pressed on the setting-side device 22, or when an execution notification is received from the bidirectional remote controller 23, the copy is executed under the condition settings at that time (S63). In the above S63,
When the execution notification from the bidirectional remote controller 23 is sent together with the condition setting information, the copy is performed after updating the condition setting of the setting device 22 to the received setting.

If the input by the user is to set or change the condition, the current condition is displayed on the screen display unit 3 of the setting device 22 or the screen display unit 24 of the bidirectional remote controller 23 (S64). Because information cannot be displayed all at once,
The user switches pages (S65), and inputs setting conditions when the screen for changing is displayed (S6).
6). After the input of the condition, the screen of the setting-side device 22 is updated (S67), and the process returns to waiting for the user's input (S61).

When an interruption of a confirmation request from the bidirectional remote controller is received while the user is waiting for an input, the operation proceeds to a confirmation display confirming operation, and the current condition setting status or a part thereof is notified to the bidirectional remote controller 23. Then, the process returns to waiting for a user input again (S61).

Similarly, the operation of the display-side device 2 including the large-screen display unit 4 when the setting-side device 22 selects a plurality of conditions will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the television, which is the display device 2 having the large screen display unit 4, waits for an interruption of a setting condition notification from the bidirectional remote controller 23 (S71). While performing the normal processing such as the display (S72), the interrupt waiting state is continued (S72).
71). If there is an interrupt, the bidirectional remote control 2
3 to receive the condition setting status notified from S3 (S7).
3) After the reception is completed, the current display data is saved to display the condition setting status on the screen (S74), and then the condition setting status is displayed on the large screen display unit 4 (S75). .

The display device 2 continues to display the condition setting status on the large screen display unit 4 while the user checks the screen. Then, when the user confirms the condition setting status (S76), the display data saved in S74 is restored (S77), and the process returns to interrupt waiting (S71). It is assumed that the display data is restored when a notification of the end of the confirmation is received from the user or automatically after the display for a certain period of time.

The storage of the display data in S74 is not always necessary in the setting condition confirmation system of the present invention. For example, when a television is used as the display-side device 2 and a television broadcast that allows data to be transmitted without interruption is being received in the normal processing of S72, the television screen is saved. That is not appropriate. However, when a display device or the like that does not frequently update data is used as the display-side device 2, it is preferable to save the current display data before displaying the condition setting status.

As described above, Embodiments 1 to 3
