[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a communication terminal device having a power saving mode.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent trend of energy saving,
A communication terminal device having a power saving function has also been developed. Many communication terminal devices with a power saving function that have been conventionally developed shift to a power saving mode, for example, if no operation is performed for a predetermined time. Then, when some operation is performed, it is common to return to the normal mode and start an operation such as recording.

By the way, in the conventional communication terminal device, when data is received from the outside while shifting to the power saving mode, the data is not immediately recorded,
Once stored in memory etc. Then, when returning to the normal mode, recording of the data stored in the memory or the like is started.

However, when the communication terminal device is in the power saving mode, for example, if the power saving mode is canceled to copy a document, the recording of the data stored in the memory or the like will start immediately. Then, there is a problem that the original cannot be copied until the recording of the data is completed.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a communication terminal device capable of immediately performing desired processing when the power saving mode is released. It is intended.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, a storage means for storing data and a recording means having a heat fixing means for fixing a recording material to a recording medium by heat are provided. In the power saving mode, data received from the outside is stored in the storage unit to stop recording, and heating of the heat fixing unit is started by releasing the power saving mode, and the heat fixing unit reaches a predetermined temperature. And a control unit for controlling the recording unit to record the received data stored in the storage unit when the user does not use the recording unit for a first predetermined time later. To do.
Similarly, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode,
Recording means having a heat fixing means for fixing a recording material to a recording medium by heat, and a recording stop state of information for communication management when a recording output state of information for communication management occurs in the power saving mode. And when the user does not use the recording means for a first predetermined time after the heating of the heat fixing means is started by releasing the power saving mode and the heat fixing means reaches a predetermined temperature. It is characterized by having a control means for controlling to record the information for management in the recording means.

When the recording operation is not performed for a certain period of time after the heat fixing unit reaches a predetermined temperature, it may have a function of lowering the temperature of the heat fixing unit. The first predetermined time is set within. If the user does not perform an operation such as recording even after the first predetermined time elapses after the heat fixing unit reaches the predetermined temperature, the memory is stored while the heat fixing unit is heated to the predetermined temperature. It is possible to record the data stored in the means or the information for communication management generated during the power saving mode. As a result, the received data can be recorded without reheating the heat fixing unit.

Further, the present invention is, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, storage means for storing data, recording means for recording the data, and data received from the outside in the power saving mode in the storage means. If the user does not use the recording means for a second predetermined time after the user has used the recording means after the storage and the recording stop state and the power saving mode is released, the information is stored in the storage means. It is characterized by further comprising control means for controlling the recording means to record the received data in the recording stopped state. Similarly, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, a recording unit for recording data, and a recording stop state of information for communication management when a recording output state of information for communication management occurs in the power saving mode. In addition, when the user has not used the recording means for a second predetermined time after the user has used the recording means after canceling the power saving mode, the information for communication management in the recording stopped state. Is provided with control means for controlling the recording means to record.

For example, when the power saving mode is released and the user causes a process involving a recording operation such as copying, the received data stored in the storage means and the communication management occurring during the power saving mode are managed. The recording stop status of the information is maintained. Thereby, while the device is being used by the user, the process of the user can be prioritized.
Then, it is detected that a new recording operation has not been performed for an empty time by not performing a new recording operation for a second predetermined time, and the data received using this empty time or for communication management is detected. It becomes possible to record information in the recording means.

Further, the present invention is, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, a recording means for recording data and a communication managing device for recording and outputting information for communication management in the power saving mode. And a control means for setting the information recording stop state to continue the recording stop state of the information for communication management after the power saving mode is released, until the third predetermined time elapses. is there. As described above, even after the power saving mode is released, the information for communication management generated during the power saving mode is not recorded until the third predetermined time elapses. Immediately, desired processing, for example, processing such as copying an original, can be preferentially performed. If no operation is performed after the third predetermined time has elapsed, information for communication management is automatically recorded.
There is no need to perform a recording operation again.

Furthermore, the present invention is, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, storage means for storing data, recording means for recording the data, and data for externally received in the power saving mode. And a recording stop state, and a control means for starting the recording output of the received data in the recording stop state before returning to the power saving mode after releasing the power saving mode. Similarly, in a communication terminal device having a power saving mode, recording means for recording data, and stop recording of information for communication management when a recording output state of information for communication management occurs in the power saving mode. The present invention is characterized by further comprising control means for starting the recording output of the information of the recording stop state before the state is returned to the power saving mode after the power saving mode is released.

After the power saving mode is released, if no operation is performed, the power saving mode can be entered again. In this case, it is possible to shift to the power saving mode again when no operation is performed for a time longer than the time from the end of the process to the power saving mode.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a communication terminal device of the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a main control unit, 12 is a display unit, 13 is an operation unit, 14 is a power saving key, 15 is a copy key, 16 is a reading unit, 17 is a recording unit,
18 is a timer, 19 is a timer A, 20 is a timer B, 21
Is a timer C, 22 is an NCU, 23 is a modem, 24 is an image memory, 25 is a RAM, 26 is a ROM, 27 is a power supply, 2
8 is a bus.

The main control unit 11 controls the entire apparatus and operates each unit to realize an image transmitting / receiving function, a copying function, a printer function and the like. In particular, transition to a power saving mode in which the power supply 27 or each unit is controlled to reduce power consumption,
Realize the return from the power saving mode to the normal mode. To shift to the power saving mode, for example, the timer 18 does not operate the operation unit 13 for a predetermined time, or the reading unit 1
6 or when the operation of the recording unit 17 or the like is not performed for a predetermined time, or when the operation unit 13 instructs the shift to the power saving mode. The recording unit 17
In some cases, a fixing heater is provided as will be described later, but it takes time for the fixing heater to return when the temperature is lowered by shifting to the power saving mode. In such a case, for example, after the fixing heater reaches a predetermined temperature, if no operation is performed by the operation unit 13 for a time longer than a normal predetermined time, the power saving mode is set. It can also be controlled.

In the power saving mode, the main control section 11 reduces the power consumption, for example, when the display on the display section 12 is stopped or when the recording section 17 is provided with a fixing heater or the like. Stops power supply to the fixing heater or lowers the temperature. In this example, the image receiving function operates in the power saving mode. However, the received image is stored in the image memory 24, and is not immediately recorded and output in the recording stopped state.

Further, when returning from the power saving mode, the main control section 11 can shift to the normal mode by an operation from the operation section 13. Of course, for example, when the incoming call or the generation of data to be recorded occurs, the power saving mode is controlled to be released, or the human body sensor detects that the user has come and automatically returns to the normal mode. May be. When returning from the power saving mode, the recording stop state is not released immediately for the image in the recording stop state, but first, the image pickup apparatus waits to receive an instruction from the user. When the timer 18 detects the elapse of a predetermined time without any instruction from the user, the recording output of the image in the recording stopped state is started.
This predetermined time may be, for example, an elapsed time after the power saving mode is released, or when the recording unit 17 is heating the fixing heater or the like, the heating by the fixing heater reaches a predetermined temperature. It may be the elapsed time after doing. In any case, before returning to the power saving mode again, the recording output of the image in the recording stopped state is started. It should be noted that, for information that is recorded and output from a device such as communication recording, the information generated during the power saving mode can be set in a recording stop state and similarly controlled.

The display unit 12 can display various information such as a message to the user, a message indicating the state of the device, and operation guidance. Display 12
Can be composed of, for example, an LCD or the like.
In this case, power is consumed by a backlight for display. Therefore, in the power saving mode, the display can be stopped by turning off the backlight or stopping the power supply from the power supply 27 to the display unit 12, thereby reducing the power consumption.

The operation unit 13 is used when a user inputs information and gives various instructions to the apparatus. By using the display unit 12 together, various function settings can be made. In FIG. 1, the power saving key 14 and the copy key 1 are provided as keys on the operation unit 13.
5 is illustrated. The power saving key 14 is a key for the user to instruct to shift to the power saving mode. Also, when returning from the power saving mode, this power saving key 1
By operating 4, it is possible to return from the power saving mode to the normal mode. Of course, a key for shifting to the power saving mode and a key for returning may be provided separately. Further, when returning from the power saving mode, any key may be operated. The copy key 15 is a key for instructing to start the operation of the copy function. Of course, the operation unit 13 has various keys such as a numeric keypad in addition to these. Other than the keys for returning from the power saving mode, various functions may be set by using together with the display unit 2 even if no function is set for each key. Further, not only a push button or a key switch that moves up and down mechanically like a keyboard, but also an electric switch such as a touch panel arranged on the display unit 12 or a virtual button displayed on the screen. Various input methods can be applied, such as the one instructing with a pointing device.

The reading unit 16 reads an image on a document.
The reading unit 16 can be composed of various image input devices such as an image scanner and a digital camera.

The recording section 17 forms the received image or the image read by the reading section 16 on a recording sheet under the control of the main control section 11. Further, it is possible to record information relating to communication management such as recording the number of transmitted and received images and various setting information on a recording sheet.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the recording unit. In the figure, 31 is a photosensitive drum, 32 is a laser light source, 3
3 is a developing device, 34 is a transfer roller, 35 is a fixing roller, 3
6 is a paper tray, and 37 is a recording paper. FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration when the electrophotographic recording method is adopted. In the recording unit 17, the laser light source 32 such as a laser diode is driven and controlled according to the received image, and the photosensitive drum 31 is irradiated with laser light to form a latent image. The latent image formed on the photosensitive drum 31 is developed with toner in the developing device 33. After that, the toner on the photosensitive drum 31 is transferred to the recording sheet 3 fed from the sheet tray 36.
The image is formed on the recording sheet 37 by being transferred onto the recording sheet 37 by the transfer roller 34. Further, the toner is the fixing roller 35.
It is heated by and is fixed on the recording paper 37.

In such a structure, the fixing roller 35
A fixing heater is provided therein, and heats the fixing roller 35 to a predetermined temperature. This fixing heater consumes a large amount of power, and in the power saving mode, it is possible to save power by stopping the power supply or setting the temperature of the fixing roller 35 low. However, if the temperature of the fixing roller 35 is lowered, it takes time to heat it to a predetermined temperature. Therefore, in a situation where the recording process by the recording unit 17 is likely to occur, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user by continuing the heating by the fixing heater as much as possible. Therefore, for example, in a state where the power saving mode is released and the fixing roller 35 is heated to a predetermined temperature, there is a high possibility that a recording process will occur. Therefore, no operation is performed until the power saving mode is entered. It is good to set a long time.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, for example, in a structure in which laser light emitted from the laser light source 32 is reflected by, for example, a polygon mirror or the like and scanned, rotation of the polygon mirror or the like is also performed in the power saving mode. It is also possible to reduce power consumption in parts other than the fixing heater, such as stopping. Of course, the power supply to the entire recording unit 17 may be stopped in the power saving mode. Although the configuration of the electrophotographic system is shown in FIG. 2, the recording unit 17 is not limited to this, and a heat-sensitive system or a thermal transfer system,
Various other methods such as an inkjet method can be adopted.

Returning to FIG. 1, the timer 18 can perform various kinds of timekeeping. Here, a timer A19, a timer B20, and a timer C21 capable of independently measuring time are provided. In the normal mode, the timer A19 has elapsed time since the operation section 13 was last operated, or the elapsed time after the reading section 16 last performed a reading operation or the recording section 17 performed a recording operation. It is possible to measure the time required to automatically shift to the power saving mode. The timer B20 can measure the elapsed time from the time when the fixing roller 35 reaches a predetermined temperature. When the information such as the image in the recording stopped state exists, the timer C21 can measure the time until the recording stopped state is released and the recording is started.

The NCU 22 controls a line to communicate with an external device. The modem 23 modulates / demodulates image data to be transmitted / received.

The image memory 24 stores image data to be transmitted, received image data, image data read by the reading unit 16, image data to be recorded by the recording unit 17, and other image data being processed. It should be noted that when the image data and the like are stored, they can be encoded and stored, for example.

The RAM 25 can hold data settings and is used when data needs to be stored in the processing of the main control unit 11 and other units. The ROM 26 stores a program that defines the operation of the main control unit 11, fixed data, and the like.

The power source 27 receives power from the outside,
Power is supplied to each part of the device. The power supply 27 can be configured so as to be able to reduce the power supplied to each part of the device (shift to the power saving mode) under the control of the main controller 11. In the power saving mode, for example, power supply to a part of the components can be cut off or reduced to save power. Alternatively, in the case of being configured by a plurality of systems of power sources, it is possible to realize the reduction of power by stopping the operation of some systems of power sources in the power saving mode. Of course, the operation of the power supply 27 can be performed as it is, and power can be saved in each part of the device.

The bus 28 includes a main control unit 11, a display unit 12,
Operation unit 13, reading unit 16, recording unit 17, timer 18, N
CU22, modem 23, image memory 24, RAM25,
The ROM 26, the power supply 27, etc. are connected to each other, and data transfer between them is possible. Of course, other various devices can be connected to the bus 28.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation in the embodiment of the communication terminal apparatus of the present invention.
In the following description, it is assumed that the recording unit 17 has the configuration shown in FIG. First, in S41, the time counting by the timer A19 is started. As mentioned above, timer A
Reference numeral 19 measures the time until shifting to the power saving mode. Then, in S42, it is determined whether or not the user has performed an operation for shifting to the power saving mode, such as operating the power saving key 14. When the operator performs the operation of shifting to the power saving mode, the process proceeds to S43.

When the user has not operated the power saving mode on the operation unit 13, it is determined in S51 whether the user has operated any key on the operation unit 13. If any key operation is performed, a predetermined operation based on the key operation is performed in S52. In this case, the process returns to S41, the timer A19 is reset, and the time counting is started again.

If the user does not perform any key operation, the process advances to step S57 to determine whether the timer A19 is up. If the timer A19 has not timed out, the process returns to S42 to operate the power-saving key 14, other key operations, or the timer A19.
19 times up will be monitored repeatedly. S
If the timer A19 has timed out at 57, the process proceeds to S43 to shift to the power saving mode.

When the operator performs an operation of shifting to the power saving mode in S42, and in S57, the timer A1
If 9 is up, in S43,
Switch to power saving mode. Here, in the power saving mode, the display on the display unit 12 is stopped and the recording unit 1
In FIG. 7, the fixing heater is cut off from the power supply. Of course, in order to reduce power consumption, there may be a portion for stopping or reducing the function.

In S44, it is determined whether or not the user operates the power saving key 14 of the operation unit 13 to cancel the power saving mode and shift to the normal mode. If the operator has not performed an operation to cancel the power saving mode, the process proceeds to S55. As described above, the image can be received by the image receiving function in the power saving mode. This is a function for realizing the automatic reception function. In S55, it is determined whether the NCU 22 has received a fax. When a fax arrives, the image data is received via the NCU 22 and the modem 23 and stored in the image memory 24 in S56. Then, the process returns to S44. If there is no incoming call, or if there is an incoming call, even if there is an incoming call, the process directly returns to S44 and the power saving mode is continued. In the power saving mode, the received image is stored in the image memory 24 and is not recorded and output by the recording unit 17 and is in a recording stopped state. Since at least images are received in this way, a state in which information for communication management is recorded and output also occurs, but in this case as well, information to be recorded and output can be in a recording stop state. .

When the power saving mode is canceled by the user operating the power saving key 14 of the operation unit 13, S
In step 45, the power saving mode is released and the mode is changed to the normal mode. When the user releases the power saving mode, it is considered that the user often wants to use the device immediately.
Therefore, the recording output of the image or information in the recording stopped state is not immediately started.

When the power saving mode is released, first, S45
At, the normal power supply to the fixing heaters of the display unit 12 and the recording unit 17 whose power supply is stopped or reduced in the power saving mode is started. As a result, the display unit 12
The display in is restored and various operations by the user are possible. Further, in the recording unit 17, the fixing roller 35 is heated when the power supply to the fixing heater is restarted. In S46, it is determined whether or not the temperature of the fixing roller 35 has reached the predetermined temperature, and the process waits until it reaches the predetermined temperature. The fixing roller 3
Even during the heating of 5, the reading process of the document by the reading unit 16 and various settings using the operation unit 13 can be performed.

When the fixing roller 35 reaches a predetermined temperature,
In S47, the timer B20 starts counting time. The timer B20 measures the elapsed time from the time when the fixing roller 35 reaches a predetermined temperature, and monitors the time until recording and outputting the image or information in the recording stopped state. The time from the time when the fixing roller 35 reaches a predetermined temperature to the time when the recording output of the image or the information in the recording stopped state is started, rather than the time from the end of the normal recording operation until the energization to the fixing heater is cut off or reduced. Can be set long. In this case, the energization to the fixing heater can be cut off or reduced further.

After the timer B20 starts counting, it is determined whether or not the user has operated the operation unit 13. Here, for example, it is assumed that the user uses the copy function, and S
At 48, it is determined whether or not the user operates the copy key 15 on the operation unit 13 to instruct the start of the copy function. When the start of the copy function is instructed, S49
The copy function is executed in. That is, the reading unit 16
The image of the document set on is read, and the read image is recorded on the recording paper by the recording unit 17. Once the image read by the reading unit 16 is stored in the image memory 24,
The recording unit 17 may record and output.

Further, it is judged in S53 whether or not it is necessary to record and output the management information such as the history of image transmission / reception and various setting conditions. For example, transmission / reception history information is automatically recorded and output when a predetermined amount is accumulated. Further, the recording output of these management information may be in a recording stop state in the power saving mode. When it is detected in S53 that the management information needs to be recorded and output, S5 is executed.
In 4, the necessary management information is recorded and output by the recording unit 17. In this case, the function that the user is trying to execute, such as a copy function, may be performed in advance, but the number of printouts of these is about one to several, and the operation is completed immediately. It does not affect the user's convenience. Alternatively, the management information that is automatically recorded and output can be handled in the same manner as an image in which recording is stopped in the power saving mode. Regarding the management information,
It may be recorded and output by the operation of the user. In this case, it is immediately executed according to the operation of the user.

Of course, in addition to these, various operations may be performed by the user. Further, there are cases where the recording output of the image in the recording stopped state accumulated in the image memory 24 is instructed. With respect to the image for which the recording output is instructed by the user, the recording output can be started without waiting for the automatic recording output start.

For example, when the operation of the copy function in S49 and the operation of recording and outputting the management information in S54 are completed, the timer C21 starts counting the time in S50. The timer C21 is for measuring the time from the end of the operation of such an apparatus, here at least the recording output operation in the recording unit 17, to the start of recording the image in the recording stopped state. It should be noted that the timer C21 starts counting and the timer B20 stops counting. After the timer C21 starts counting the time, the process returns to S48 and waits for further instruction from the user.

When the instruction from the user or the automatic recording output is not detected in S48 and S53, it is determined in S58 whether the timer B20 or the timer C21 is up. If the time is not up, the process returns to S48 and the user's instruction or timer B2
0, timer C21, etc. are continuously monitored.

When the timer B20 or the timer C21 is up, the processing for the image in the recording stopped state is performed. When the timer B20 is up, the power saving mode is shifted to the normal mode to heat the fixing roller 35, and the user records at least for a predetermined time after the fixing roller 35 reaches a predetermined temperature. This indicates that the process using the unit 17 has not been performed. Also, timer C
If 21 has timed out, it indicates that at least the processing using the recording unit 17 has not been performed within a predetermined time after the recording output. In these cases,
Although the recording unit 17 can record data,
It is possible to determine that it is not being used. By utilizing the free space of the recording unit 17 as described above, it is possible to perform processing on the image and information in the recording stopped state.

In S59, it is judged whether or not there are images or information in the recording stopped state, and if there is an image or information in the recording stopped state, in S60 the recording unit 17 records and outputs these images or information. To do. Then, the process ends.
If there is no image or information in the recording stopped state, the process ends as it is. Alternatively, returning to S41, the normal processing is performed.

Thus, in S46, the fixing roller 3
After the temperature of 5 has reached the predetermined temperature, the timer B20 starts counting in S47, and the device is used in S48 and S53.
At least the use of the recording unit 17 is monitored. If the user gives an instruction for copying during this period, the instructed copy can be executed immediately, and there is no need to wait until the recording and outputting of the image received during the power saving mode. Further, even when the user subsequently makes a copy or the like, the copy can be similarly prioritized and executed.

If the recording unit 17 is not used for a predetermined time after it becomes available, the recording unit 1
Recording of images and information in the recording stop state is started while 7 is available. As a result, it is possible to record and output the image and information in the recording stopped state during the idle time when the user is not using the apparatus. Further, it is possible to avoid waste such as reheating the fixing roller 35 for recording and outputting the image in the recording stopped state, and to avoid a situation in which the image is not recorded and output forever and remains in the image memory 24. .

In the above example, the case where the recording unit 17 is used as a function used by the user after canceling the power saving mode has been shown. However, as a function used by the user, for example, an image transmission function using the reading unit 16 may be used. In such a case, the recording unit 17 is not used and is empty. In the above-described operation example, when the image transmission function is used as described above, it is assumed that the operation to start the copy function is not performed and the management information is not recorded, and the timer B20 or the timer C21 is timed up. Is monitored. Therefore, if there is an image or information in a recording stopped state after the timer B20 or the timer C21 has timed out, recording and outputting of those images or information will be started. At this time, it may operate in parallel with the reading unit 16. As a result, the recording unit 17
Can be effectively used without waiting for waste.

In the example shown in FIG. 1 described above, the communication terminal device of the present invention has been described as having an image transmitting / receiving function and a copying function, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, providing an interface for exchanging data with external devices,
The image read by the reading unit 16 or the image received by the NCU 22 and the modem 23 is transferred to the outside, or the data received from the outside is recorded by the recording unit 17 or the NCU 2
2 and the modem 23 may be used for transmission. For example, when data to be recorded is received from the outside in the power saving mode, it can be handled in the same manner as when the user releases the power saving mode and instructs recording output.

[0049]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when the power saving mode is changed to the normal mode, the data such as the image in the recording stopped state stored in the storage means is stored for a predetermined time. Record output after a certain period. This avoids a situation in which when the user shifts to the normal mode, recording and outputting of an image in a recording stopped state and the desired processing cannot be performed, and the user can immediately perform the desired processing. it can. Therefore, there is an effect that the convenience and operability of the user can be improved. In addition, when the operation or the recording output is not performed for a predetermined time, the data such as the image in the recording stopped state can be recorded and output before the temperature of the fixing roller decreases, and there is no waste such as reheating the fixing roller. There is an effect that there is no.
