JP 11-125891 A

However, due to the simplification of maintenance work in recent years, there are many cases where operators are responsible for various kinds of work redundantly or work that is not related to photo processing. When adopting, simply notifying the portable terminal is not always easy to deal with troubles.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve convenience when dealing with troubles and the like occurring in a photographic processing apparatus.

  According to a first aspect of the present application, there is provided a detecting means for detecting the occurrence of a preset event for notifying an operator, and a notifying means for notifying detection information of the detecting means. The means is configured to include wireless notification means for notifying the detection information to a portable terminal with a wireless communication function possessed by an operator, and the portable terminal is configured to detect the detection information from the wireless notification means. In the photographic processing apparatus configured to perform a setting notification operation for notifying an operator as a result of receiving the notification, the wireless notification means includes the events detected by the detection means. An event occurrence signal indicating that a terminal notification event has occurred only when a terminal notification event that has been set in advance as an operator's request is generated. The detection information is transmitted to the portable terminal, and when an event other than the terminal notification event occurs, the detection information is not transmitted to the portable terminal. In the portable terminal, When the setting notification operation is repeatedly executed at set intervals and the detection unit detects that the event that has caused the notification to the portable terminal has been resolved, the repetition of the setting notification operation is stopped. Is configured to do.

That is, the mobile terminal is notified only when an event that is set in advance as a request for handling of the operator occurs among events that are set in advance to notify the operator in the photo processing apparatus.
In this way, for example, when there are no consumables such as photographic paper or replenisher for development processing liquid, or when a paper jam has occurred, the operator can deal with it urgently. An event that can suppress the decline in processing capacity is set as an event that should be reported to the portable terminal, and it cannot be repaired without contacting a business operator who maintains the photo processing device and dispatching a service person. When such an error occurs, or a minor error that the operator does not need to deal with quickly, the portable terminal can be prevented from being notified.

Further, after the detection means detects the occurrence of an event to be notified to the portable terminal, the setting notification operation for alerting the operator is repeatedly executed in the portable terminal, so that the photographic processing apparatus once It is possible to avoid a situation in which the operator who recognizes the notification forgets to take necessary measures while performing other work.
As for the repetition of the setting notification operation, it may be forcibly stopped by operating a release button or the like when any of the operators starts a necessary measure. When the necessary countermeasures are completed, the notification is stopped, so that it is possible to avoid a situation where the user forgets to perform the necessary countermeasures without performing anything but performing only the notification canceling operation.

  Incidentally, in order to cause the portable terminal to repeatedly execute the setting notification operation with a set interval, or to stop the repetition of the setting notification operation, when managing the repetition directly from the wireless notification means side, The event occurrence signal is repeatedly transmitted at a set interval to repeatedly execute the setting notification operation at a set interval, and the setting notification operation is repeated by stopping the transmission of the event occurrence signal. When the repetition is managed on the portable terminal side, after receiving the event occurrence signal from the wireless notification means, a set interval is set by a timer provided on the portable terminal side. Timed and repeated execution of the setting notification operation at set intervals, and the event that caused the detection means to notify the portable terminal was resolved When detecting, the repetition of the setting notification operation receives a signal indicating the wireless notification means can be stopped.

According to a second aspect of the present application, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the wireless notification means is configured to transmit the event occurrence signal to a plurality of portable terminals. ing.
In other words, when the photo processing device notifies the occurrence of an event to a plurality of portable terminals, but when any of the operators takes necessary measures and the photo processing device returns to a normal operating state In addition, since the repetition of the setting notification operation is stopped, the operator who has not been involved in the countermeasure is notified that the necessary countermeasure has been completed, and the waste of moving to the installation location of the photo processing apparatus can be eliminated.

Further, according to a third invention of the present application, in addition to the configuration of the second invention, the wireless notification means eliminates an event that causes the detection means to notify the portable terminal. Is detected, the event that caused the notification to the portable terminal is resolved, and an event elimination signal indicating that the event has been eliminated is transmitted to the plurality of portable terminals. Along with the reception of the event resolution signal, a resolution message display means for displaying a message corresponding to the event resolution signal is provided.
Accordingly, the operator who possesses the portable terminal can grasp that the necessary countermeasure has already been executed not only by the notification from the photo processing apparatus but also by the message.

In addition, in the fourth invention of the present application, in addition to the configuration of the second or third invention, a repair operation for eliminating the event causing the notification to the portable terminal is started. A repair operation detecting means for detecting the repair operation, and the wireless notification means outputs a plurality of repair start signals indicating that the repair operation has started when the repair operation detecting means detects the start of the repair operation. The portable terminal is provided with a repair start message display means for displaying a message corresponding to the repair start signal when the repair start signal is received. Configured.
Therefore, prior to knowing that the necessary countermeasure has been completed by stopping the notification, it is possible to recognize that any operator has started the countermeasure.

According to a fifth aspect of the present application, in addition to the configuration of any one of the first to fourth aspects, the portable terminal vibrates the casing of the portable terminal as the setting notification operation. The vibration device is provided.
In other words, in recent years, photo processing apparatuses are often installed in stores other than photo processing specialized stores such as print shops, as well as other industries such as lag stores. Since the operator performs various operations in the vicinity of the general customer, if the notification from the photo processing apparatus to the portable terminal is accompanied by a ringing tone, the general customer may be uncomfortable.
Therefore, when notifying that a predetermined event has occurred in the photo processing apparatus, the operator is informed by vibrating the casing of the portable terminal.

According to a sixth invention of the present application, in addition to the configuration of any one of the first to fifth inventions, the wireless notification means always notifies the portable terminal of the terminal notification event. The event is classified into an event that can be switched and set to notify the portable terminal, and when the event detected by the detecting means is the event that can be switched and set, the event is transmitted to the portable terminal. Based on the setting information about whether or not to notify, it is configured to switch whether or not to notify the portable terminal.
In other words, an event that is notified from the photo processing device to the portable terminal is an event that causes the device to stop if the operator does not take the necessary measures, for example, when notifying that the consumable item has been exhausted. For example, there is an event in which the device continues to operate for the time being even if the operator does not take immediate action, such as when notifying that the remaining consumables are low.
It is necessary to notify the operator of the event that causes the equipment to stop, and request the necessary action, but for the event that does not necessarily require an urgent response, the occurrence of the event is notified according to the actual situation of the store. Whether to do or not can be set.

According to the first aspect of the invention, the portable terminal possessed by the operator only when an event that makes it reasonable for the operator to move to the installation location of the photo processing apparatus and take necessary measures is generated. By notifying the operator, it is possible to avoid giving an operator an unnecessary sense of anxiety and work load, and to call attention by periodically repeating the setting notification operation.
As a result, it has become possible to improve convenience when dealing with troubles occurring in the photo processing apparatus.
In addition, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the operator who has not been involved in the necessary countermeasures for the photo processing apparatus is notified of the completion of the necessary countermeasures and eliminates the waste of moving to the place where the photo processing apparatus is installed. This can further improve convenience.

Further, according to the third invention, the operator having the portable terminal can grasp that the necessary countermeasure has already been executed by the message as well as notifying that the notification from the photo processing apparatus has stopped. Further, it is possible to further improve convenience when dealing with troubles occurring in the photo processing apparatus.
Further, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to recognize that the countermeasure has been started before knowing that the necessary countermeasure has been completed by stopping the notification, so that one of the operators needs to deal with it. Without knowing that they have started, it is possible to avoid another operator from heading for a countermeasure.

Further, according to the fifth aspect, when notifying that a predetermined event has occurred from the photo processing apparatus to the portable terminal, the operator is informed by vibrating the casing of the portable terminal. It is possible to avoid discomforting others such as customers.
Further, according to the sixth invention, an event that causes the equipment to stop is always notified to the operator to request a necessary action, but an event that does not necessarily require an urgent action should be Therefore, it is possible to set whether or not to notify the occurrence of an event, so that it is possible to further improve convenience when dealing with troubles occurring in the photo processing apparatus.

The sorter 7 for preventing the falling of the print will be stopped, and, (7) the transport jam of the printing paper 2 occurs in paper in the transport system PT or developing apparatus PP, there is.
In addition to these terminal notification events, as an occurrence event that is displayed on the monitor 4b to notify the operator but not to the portable terminal HT, the temperature of each processing tank of the development processing apparatus PP is controlled. The various heaters were damaged, including that the heater was damaged.

Among these, the detection of (1) is detected by the exposure control device 14 by subtracting the usage amount of the photographic paper 2 from the initial value of the length of the photographic paper roll stored in the photographic paper magazine 6. Yes. The detection of (3) and (4) is detected by detecting the amount of the replenisher using the replenisher sensor 12 in two stages. As for the detection in (7), the paper sensor detects that the photographic paper 2 is not conveyed to the expected position of the photographic paper 2 estimated from the conveyance drive amount of the photographic paper 2 in the photographic paper conveyance system PT or the like. To do.
Accordingly, the exposure control device 14, the paper end sensor 11, the replenisher solution sensor 12, the tray paper sensor 13, the paper sensor arranged in the middle of the conveyance path of the photographic paper conveyance system PT, various sensors for detecting damage to the apparatus, and the like. Functions as detection means SD that detects that a preset event has occurred to notify the operator.

In the following, the operation when the detection means SD detects the occurrence of each preset event is executed in the flowchart of FIG. 4 showing the processing executed by the main control device 4 and the portable terminal HT. The processing will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
When the main controller 4 receives a signal from the exposure controller 14 indicating that any of the detection means SD has detected the occurrence of a predetermined event, the main controller 4 starts the process of FIG.
When a signal indicating that the various events such as various errors or consumables have occurred is received from the exposure control device 14, a message corresponding to the signal is displayed on the monitor 4b (step # 1). This message is displayed together with a necessary handling procedure and the like.

Next, when the occurrence event received from the exposure control device 14 corresponds to the event for terminal notification (event (1) to (7)) (step # 2), the occurrence event is further notified. It is determined whether or not the event can be switched (step # 3).
That is, the events (2), (4), (6), and (7) among the events (1) to (7) that are events for terminal notification are always notified to the portable terminal HT. It is set as an event, and other events (1), (3) and (5) are set as events that can be switched and set to notify the portable terminal HT. Events are divided into two groups.
The switching of whether to notify the portable terminal HT about the events (1), (3), and (5) can be set in advance from the monitor 4b screen by operating the console 4c or the like. Has been.

When the event corresponding to the terminal notification event received from the exposure control device 14 is an event that is always notified to the portable terminal HT (step # 3), and whether to notify the portable terminal HT If the setting information is an event that is set to notify the portable terminal HT (steps # 3 and # 4), the event for the terminal notification occurs. An event occurrence signal indicating that this has occurred is transmitted to all portable terminals HT via the wireless communication interface 21 (step # 5).
That is, main controller 4 transmits the event occurrence signal to a plurality of portable terminals HT only when the terminal notification event occurs among the events whose occurrence is detected by detection means SD. It is configured. When the event whose occurrence is detected by the detection means SD does not correspond to the event for terminal notification, the detection information of the detection means SD is not transmitted and the process is terminated.

In the portable terminal HT, when the event occurrence signal is received from the main control device 4, the notification receiving process shown in FIG. 5 is started.
The portable terminal HT is equipped with a vibration device that vibrates the casing of the portable terminal HT, similar to a vibrator provided in a so-called mobile phone. First, the vibration device starts ringing for a certain period of time. At the same time, an error message corresponding to the signal generation event received from the main controller 4 is displayed on the monitor 41 of the portable terminal HT (step # 12).
The intermittent sounding of the vibration device is performed by inputting that the operator confirms the display message by operating the buttons of the portable terminal HT (step # 13) or setting time (several seconds to several tens of seconds) from the start of intermittent sounding. When about 2 seconds have elapsed (step # 14), the operation is stopped (step # 15), and the error message monitor display is also erased (step # 16).
Thereafter, a series of setting notification operations including steps # 11 to # 16 for notifying the operator is repeated each time a setting interval (for example, 1 minute) elapses due to the time counting of the timer (step #). 20).

During this time, the main controller 4 waits for any operator to move to the installation location of the photo print system DP and execute a repair operation for the notified error (step # 6 in FIG. 4).
Whether or not the operator has started a necessary repair operation can be detected by the operator performing some input operation from the console 4c according to the coping procedure displayed on the monitor 4b of the main control device 4. Therefore, the main controller 4 and the console 4c function as a repair operation detection unit RS that detects that a repair operation for eliminating the event that has caused the notification to the portable terminal HT has been started.
When it is detected that the repair operation by the operator is started (step # 6), a repair start signal indicating that the repair operation is started is transmitted to all portable terminals (step # 7).
The detection of whether or not the operator has started a necessary repair operation is, for example, when the photographic paper magazine 6 has been detached from the casing of the photographic printing apparatus EP if it is detected that the photographic paper has run out. In other cases, it may be performed by detecting that the front door of the casing of the photographic printing apparatus EP is opened.

When the portable terminal HT repeats the setting notification operation at set intervals and receives the repair start signal from the main control device 4 (step # 17 in FIG. 5), it indicates that the operator has started repair work. A message is displayed on the monitor 41 (step # 18). Therefore, the monitor 41 of the portable terminal HT functions as a repair start message display means SS that displays a message corresponding to the repair start signal.
Note that the repetition of the setting notification operation is not stopped by receiving the repair start signal.
After transmitting the repair start signal, main controller 4 waits for all necessary repair operations to be completed (step # 8 in FIG. 4), and detection information from detection means SD When it is detected that the event that caused the notification to the portable terminal has been resolved due to the restoration of the original state, etc., all portable terminals will send an event resolution signal to that effect. Transmit to the HT (step # 9).

When the portable terminal HT receives the event elimination signal (step # 19 in FIG. 5), the portable terminal HT deletes the message indicating that the above-described repair work has been started, and corresponds to the event elimination signal. A message indicating that all necessary measures have been completed is displayed on the monitor 41 (step # 21). Accordingly, the monitor 41 of the portable terminal HT functions as a cancellation message display means MS that displays a message corresponding to the event cancellation signal.
By branching from the repetition loop of step # 11 to step # 20 to step # 21, the repetition of the setting notification operation in the portable terminal HT is stopped.
Thereafter, when the operator inputs that the message display has been confirmed by operating the button of the portable terminal HT (step # 22), the message indicating that the necessary countermeasures have been completed is deleted (step # 23), and the process ends. To do.
From the above, the main control device 4, the monitor 4b, the wireless communication interface 21, and the like constitute the notification means AL for notifying the detection information of the detection means SD, and the notification means AL includes the main control device 4 and the wireless communication. The interface 21 includes a wireless notification means RA that notifies the detection information to the portable terminal HT with a wireless communication function possessed by the operator.
