Description

  The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and a program having a job storage function and an output function.

Some image forming apparatuses of this type include a storage device (for example, an HDD). For example, data transmitted from a client PC can be stored in the HDD, and the stored data can be printed.
This HDD is configured to be able to store a large amount of data for a long period of time, and with the increase in the amount of information in recent years, cases of storing data in the HDD are increasing.

  On the other hand, the data stored in the HDD presses the capacity of the HDD. Therefore, the data can be erased from the HDD when the user of this apparatus manually selects it on the operation panel, or when the job accumulation period set at the time of storage has elapsed (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

JP 2006-260464 A

However, the above-described conventional technology has a problem that the capacity of the HDD is still pressed.
This is because there is no problem if the user of the device manages the HDD sequentially and deletes its own data intentionally on the operation panel, but there are also users who do not manage, and this management is insufficient. This is because the data is not deleted from the HDD unless the job accumulation period elapses, and if there are a large number of users with insufficient management, the capacity of the HDD is likely to be insufficient.

As described above, in this technique, there is still a problem in terms of promoting the management of the HDD by its own operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an image forming apparatus and a program that can solve the above-described problems and reliably ensure the capacity of the HDD.

A first invention for achieving the above object is an image forming apparatus having a job storage function and an output function.
Then, based on the storage unit that can store the job related to the user and the amount of the stored job related to the user that is erased from the storage unit by itself, the priority for determining whether or not to preferentially use the device by the user is determined. A process determining unit; and a process executing unit that preferentially uses the output function of a job related to the user as compared to the current user of the apparatus when the determination of the priority process determining unit is right .

According to the first invention, the image forming apparatus includes the storage unit, and the storage unit can store a job related to the user (save function).
Here, this apparatus includes a priority processing determination unit, and can hold the deletion status from the storage unit for each user.
Specifically, this priority processing determination unit can hold the amount of stored jobs related to the user deleted from the storage unit by the user's own operation, not automatically deleting, for example, as the job accumulation period elapses. Based on the erased amount, it is determined whether or not the user can preferentially use the device.

  When it is determined that the user can preferentially use the device, the process execution unit provides the user with an output function of the device in return for the user who has shown a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the storage unit. The privilege that it can be used preferentially is given. In other words, the output of the job related to the current user is interrupted, and the job related to the user showing the positive attitude is output.

  As a result, the user of this preferentially processed job recognizes that the output function of the apparatus can be preferentially used if he / she shows a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the storage unit. Promoted. As a result, the capacity of the storage unit can be surely ensured, which contributes to obtaining the optimum performance of the apparatus.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect, the priority processing determination unit is configured to store the job storage amount within the job storage period continuously stored in the storage unit and the job operated by itself within the job storage period. Based on the erased amount, the remaining rate of the job related to the user is obtained, and when this remaining rate is smaller than a threshold indicating the contribution degree of securing the storage unit capacity, the user is contributed to securing the storage unit capacity. It is characterized as being recognized as a privilege granter.

  According to the second invention, in addition to the operation of the first invention, the priority processing determination unit can also store the storage status in the storage unit for each user, and this user can preferentially use the device. Is determined from a comparison between the remaining rate obtained from the stored amount and the erase amount of the job and a threshold value indicating the contribution degree of securing the storage unit capacity. Thus, if the significance of the positive attitude for securing the capacity of the storage unit is clarified, the privilege granter can be easily and reliably authorized.

According to a third aspect of the invention, in the configuration of the second aspect of the invention, the priority processing determination unit recognizes the privilege granter when the user authorized as the privilege granter uses the output function with priority. It is characterized by resetting.
According to the third invention, in addition to the operation of the second invention, when the user is authorized as a privilege granter, the job output function related to the authorized user has priority over the current user. However, after the priority use of this output function, the authorization of the privilege granter is reset, and thereafter, the user of the suspended job and the user of the preferentially processed job are treated equally.

  Therefore, the user of the job that has been preferentially processed takes an active attitude to secure the capacity of the storage unit so that the output function of the apparatus can be preferentially used again, and the user of the job that has been interrupted. In the future, however, it will become possible to recognize that the output function of the device can be preferentially used if it shows a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the storage unit, and management of the storage unit by its own operation is further promoted. The

A fourth invention is a program for an image forming apparatus having a job storage function and an output function.
This program is provided in the computer of the apparatus. The procedure for storing the job related to the user in the storage unit in the computer and the amount of the stored job related to the user deleted from the storage unit by operating the program. Based on the above, the procedure for determining whether or not to use the device preferentially by the user and the job output function related to the user when the user determines that the device can be used preferentially are And a procedure for giving priority to use compared to the user.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the user who has shown a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the storage unit is given a privilege that the output function of the apparatus can be used preferentially in return. Specifically, the output of the job related to the current user is interrupted, and the job related to the user showing the positive attitude is output.
As a result, the user of this preferentially processed job recognizes that the output function of the apparatus can be preferentially used if he / she shows a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the storage unit. Promoted. As a result, the capacity of the storage unit can be reliably ensured, which contributes to obtaining the optimum performance of the image forming apparatus having this program.

  According to the present invention, in order to give a privilege that the output function of the device can be used preferentially to the user who has shown an active attitude in securing the capacity of the storage unit in return, the capacity of the storage unit is ensured. An image forming apparatus and a program that can be secured can be provided.

It is an operation | movement flowchart of privilege recognition by the controller of FIG. 4 is an operation flowchart of priority output by the controller of FIG. 3.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a system according to the present embodiment. The system can use an image forming apparatus by a plurality of users (users) such as a company office, and is configured using a network 2 such as a LAN. Is done. An image forming apparatus 4, a server 6, and a client PC 8 are connected to the network 2.

  FIG. 2 shows a digital multifunction peripheral, which is an example of the image forming apparatus 4, a so-called multifunction peripheral (hereinafter referred to as MFP) from the upper right front. In the figure, the front surface of the MFP 4 facing the user and the right side surface of the MFP 4 can be seen. The MFP 4 includes an in-body discharge type apparatus main body 10, and a discharge tray 15 is formed inside the main body 10.

  An automatic document feeder (Auto Document Feeder, hereinafter referred to as ADF) 17 is mounted on the upper side of the paper discharge tray 15. When the MFP 4 is used as a copying machine, a facsimile machine, or a network scanner, a document is transported from the ADF 17. The image surface is optically read by the optical scanner unit 22.

  An operation panel 28 is installed on the front side of the scanner unit 22. A plurality of operation keys and switches for various user operations are arranged on the panel 28, and an operation screen 29 for displaying various information such as character information and guidance images is displayed at the center of the panel 28. Is provided. The contents of these operations are notified to the controller 50 in FIG.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a front loading type paper supply device is disposed below the apparatus main body 10. This supply device is provided with two upper and lower sheet feed cassettes 11 along the height direction of the main body 10, and each cassette 11 is configured to be detachable from the main body 10. An openable manual feed tray 13 is also provided on the right side surface of the main body 10.

FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the MFP 4. The MFP 4 is connected to the network 2 via a network interface (IF) 26 and further connected to a public line. The MFP 4 executes various operations in accordance with program instructions.
The MFP 4 has, for example, a print function (Copy function), a transmission function (Send function), and a storage function (Box function).

Specifically, the HDD (storage unit) 32 includes a box area 34, and includes various jobs such as a print job transmitted from the client PC 8, a scan job read by the scanner unit 22, and a facsimile job received by the FAX communication unit 24. Are sequentially stored and have a Box function.
Further, the MFP 4 includes a memory 30. The memory 30 includes a ROM, a RAM, and the like. In this embodiment, in addition to personal authentication using an IC card, a processing operation program related to privilege recognition and priority output is stored.

The above-described FAX communication unit 24 also has a Send function, and transmits a facsimile job stored in the HDD 32 to the other party.
The print engine 20 is connected to the ADF 17 that transports the document to the image reading position of the scanner unit 22, the paper feed cassette 11 that stores the paper, the manual feed tray 13, and the image forming unit that transfers the image to the paper, and is stored in the HDD 32. The printed job is output to the paper discharge tray 15 and has a Copy function.

The print engine 20 can also be connected to a post-processing device that performs sorting, punching, stapling, and the like on the transferred paper.
Here, a card reader 40 is installed in the MFP 4 of the present embodiment. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the reader 40 is formed in a box shape, for example, and is disposed on the right side surface of the apparatus main body 10 having the manual feed tray 13, and faces the IC card held by the user. It has an antenna and a lamp that can display the authentication result.

The IC card possessed by the user is, for example, a passive type that does not have a power source, and an IC chip is embedded therein. The IC chip has a function of rewriting and appending data to the memory, and further has a function of communicating with the antenna of the card reader 40.
Specifically, for example, the user operates the client PC 8 to create a print job, and transmits the print job from the PC 8 to the MFP 4 via the network 2.

Thereafter, this user leaves the PC 8 and stands in front of the MFP 4 in order to receive the previously created print job. Then, for example, in order to use the private printing function, the held IC card is held over the card reader 40.
The antenna of the card reader 40 transmits radio waves, and when the IC card receives the radio waves, it generates necessary power therein, and a request signal from the card reader 40 is supplied to the IC chip to perform signal modulation or Demodulation, logical operation, memory access, etc. are executed.

On the other hand, the answer signal from the IC chip is received by the antenna and supplied to the card reader 40. Thereby, non-contact wireless communication is possible between these IC cards and the card reader 40, and the card reader 40 can read information such as the IC card number of the IC card.
The card reader 40 is connected to the controller 50 (FIG. 3), and information on the IC card is output to the controller 50.

  The controller 50 also controls various operations of the MFP 4. The controller 50 is an element that functions as a computer and has hardware resources such as a CPU. The controller 50 uses the hardware resources to execute a predetermined program, and operates the print engine 20, the scanner unit 22, and the FAX communication unit 24 described above.

Incidentally, the controller 50 of this embodiment includes an authentication determination unit 52, a priority process determination unit 54, and a process execution unit 56.
Upon receiving the reading result from the card reader 40, the authentication determination unit 52 compares the received information with, for example, an IC card number stored in the server 6 and user restriction information, and the user who possesses this IC card. Whether to use the MFP 4 is determined.

The authentication determination unit 52 can also acquire the user ID and log of the user from the server 6, and the above-described determination results and acquisition results are output toward the priority processing determination unit 54.
When the user can use the MFP 4, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether or not the user can preferentially use the MFP 4.

  Specifically, the priority processing determination unit 54, in this embodiment, erases the print job erased from the HDD 32, more specifically, the job accumulation period (for example, one week) set when the job is stored. Instead of the amount of print job erased automatically from the HDD 32 over time, the user manually selects the operation screen 29 on the panel 38 and acquires the amount of print job erased intentionally from the HDD 32. .

  Then, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether or not the user has shown a positive attitude to securing the capacity of the HDD 32 based on the acquired amount of intentional print job deletion, and the previously created print It is determined that a job or a print job stored in the HDD 32 is to be printed. The determination result is output toward the process execution unit 56.

  The process execution unit 56 is a current user of the MFP 4, for example, another user who is printing an original while standing in front of the MFP 4, in order to give a privilege as a reward to a user who has shown a positive attitude toward securing the capacity of the HDD 32. The print job determined by the priority processing determination unit 54 is output to the print engine 20.

  Subsequently, when the processing execution unit 56 receives a job print completion signal from the engine 20, this job is a print job created previously, and the save operation of the job to the HDD 32 is selected on the operation screen 29. If so, the job accumulation period is set and the job is stored in the HDD 32. If the print job is stored in the HDD 32, the job accumulation period can be set again.

4 and 5 show processing that the program causes the controller 50 to execute. Hereinafter, the operation of the MFP 4 configured as described above according to the present invention will be described.
If the user A who has transmitted a print job from the PC 8 to the MFP 4 holds the IC card over the card reader 40 in order to receive the previously created print job, the authentication determination unit 52 starts authentication of the IC card.

  First, in step S401 of FIG. 4 showing the operation up to privilege recognition, the authentication determination unit 52 determines whether the user A who possesses the IC card should use the MFP 4 and can use the MFP 4, that is, When it determines with YES, it progresses to step S402. If it is determined in step S401 that the MFP 4 cannot be used, the authentication wait state is entered.

This step S402 shows management of the HDD 32 by the user A.
Specifically, this user A receives the previously created print job from the paper discharge tray 15, and then browses the user A's own folder on the operation screen 29 and displays the user A's print job remaining in the HDD 32. Selected and erased from the HDD 32.

Subsequently, in step S <b> 403, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether or not the user A preferentially uses the MFP 4 based on the intentional deletion amount from the HDD 32 by the user A.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the remaining rate of the print job related to the user A is used. More specifically, the remaining rate is the storage amount of the print job of the user A within the job accumulation period (current total storage amount) and the erase amount of the print job operated by the user A within the job accumulation period. For example, the current remaining job amount is obtained from the difference between the current total storage amount and the current deletion amount, and the remaining job amount is divided by the current total storage amount. Is required.

Then, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether or not the obtained print job remaining rate for the user A is smaller than a predetermined threshold Z.
Specifically, the threshold value Z in the present embodiment is a value (for example, 0.5) that can be assumed to contribute to securing the capacity of the HDD 32, and this threshold value Z is similar to the job accumulation period. Stored in the memory 30.

  Here, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines that the remaining rate is smaller than the threshold value Z, that is, YES, as in the case where the remaining rate of the print job related to the user A is 0.33. Sometimes, the process proceeds to step S404, and this user A is recognized as a privilege granter who has contributed to securing the capacity of the HDD 32. Then, this authorized user A is stored in the memory 30, and the process proceeds to step S405.

On the other hand, if the remaining rate of the user A exceeds the threshold Z as in the case where the remaining rate of the user A is 0.66 in step S403, the process immediately proceeds to step S405.
In step S405, the priority processing determination unit 54 stores, for example, the current erasure amount by the user A used in step S403 in the memory 30, and exits a series of routines. It should be noted that the current total storage amount and the obtained remaining rate can be stored in the memory 30 in the same manner as the erasure amount.

Next, the operation up to the priority output will be described with reference to FIG.
In this example, it is assumed that the user A described above prints a print job stored in the HDD 32. In detail, for example, a supervisor of the user A creates a document X on the PC 8 or captures it on the scanner unit 22 and stores it in the HDD 32 of the MFP 4.

After that, this boss instructed his subordinate User A to examine the printed material of this material X.
However, when the user A wants to print the document X from the MFP 4, a user B different from the user A sets the document Y on the ADF 17 of the MFP 4 and presses a predetermined switch on the panel 28 to press the document. Y has started to be read by the scanner unit 22 and is waiting for completion of printing of the document Y by the MFP 4 (job j).

  Here, when the user A holds the IC card over the card reader 40 in order to receive the document X by the MFP 4, the authentication determination unit 52 starts authentication of the IC card. In step S501 in FIG. 5, the authentication determination unit 52 determines whether the user A who possesses the IC card should use the MFP 4. If the MFP 4 can be used, the process proceeds to step S502.

In step S502, the user A selects the material X stored in the HDD 32 on the operation screen 29, and presses down a predetermined switch on the panel 28 to instruct the MFP 4 to print the material X (job J).
In step S503, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether there is a job that has already been executed.

In this example, if the original Y by the user B is read by the scanner unit 22 and the current MFP 4 is printing the job j, that is, if it is determined YES, the process proceeds to step S504.
In step S <b> 504, the priority processing determination unit 54 determines whether or not the user A preferentially uses the MFP 4.

  If the priority processing determination unit 54 accesses the memory 30 and the user A is recognized as a privilege granter, as shown in FIG. 4, that is, if it is determined YES, the process proceeds to step S505. The process execution unit 56 instructs the print engine 20 to interrupt the printing of the job B of the user B that is currently printing.

In this case, the engine 20 outputs a signal to the paper feed cassette 11 and the image forming unit described above for the portion of the document Y that has already been read by the scanner unit 22, and outputs the signal to the paper discharge tray 15 and proceeds to step S506. move on.
The process execution unit 56 displays on the operation screen 29 that the printing of the job j of the user B has been interrupted, and notifies the user B standing beside the MFP 4. As a result, the user B takes out a part of the printed matter output to the paper discharge tray 15 from the tray 15 and stores it separately.

Next, in step S506, the processing execution unit 56 instructs the print engine 20 to print the job J of the user A who is the privilege giver, and the process proceeds to step S507. Steps S505 to 507 are repeated.
Thereafter, when printing of the job A of the user A is completed, that is, when all the materials X are output to the paper discharge tray 15, the priority processing determination unit 54 performs the processing for the user A stored in the memory 30. The authorization of the privilege granter is reset and the process proceeds to step S508.

In step S508, the processing execution unit 56 displays on the operation screen 29 that the printing of the job j that has been interrupted is resumed, and instructs the engine 20 to resume the printing of the job j, thereby exiting the series of routines.
In step S503, if the job j currently being printed does not exist, the process proceeds to step S506, where the print engine 20 is instructed immediately to print the job J of the user A.

  However, in this case, since the above-described step S504, that is, the priority processing determination unit 54 has not inquired of the memory 30 whether or not the user A is recognized as a privilege granter, even in step S507, for the user A Without resetting the authorization of the privilege giver, a series of routines are exited after printing of this job J is completed.

On the other hand, in the above-described step S504, if the above-mentioned remaining rate still exceeds the threshold value Z and the user A is not recognized as a privilege granter, the process proceeds to step S509, and the predetermined switch is pressed down. Execute the job with.
That is, in this step S509, the process execution unit 56 waits for the printing of the job A of the user A, and continues the printing of the job j of the user B that is currently printing (steps S510 and 511).

The above-described steps S509 to S511 are repeated until the printing of the job j is completed. When the printing of the job j is completed, that is, when all the documents Y are output to the paper discharge tray 15, the process proceeds to step S512. The process execution unit 56 instructs the engine 20 to print the waiting job J, and exits the series of routines.
In addition, in the above-described step S504, if both the user A and the user B are recognized as privilege givers, the job of the user with the small remaining rate is preferentially processed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the MFP 4 includes the HDD 32, and the HDD 32 can store the user's print job (save function).
Here, the MFP 4 includes a priority processing determination unit 54, and can hold the deletion status from the HDD 32 for each user based on, for example, the user ID of the job.

Specifically, the priority processing determination unit 54 does not automatically delete the user's stored job, for example, as the job accumulation period elapses, but manually selects the user's own job on the operation screen 29 and deletes it from the HDD 32. Is determined, and it is determined whether or not this user can preferentially use the MFP 4 based on the erased amount.
If the priority process determination unit 54 determines that the user can preferentially use the MFP 4, the process execution unit 56 returns a reward to the user who has shown a positive attitude toward securing the capacity of the HDD 32. A privilege is given that the output function of the MFP 4 can be used with priority.

That is, for example, the output of the current user's print job is automatically interrupted without requiring the interrupt key on the panel 28 to be pressed separately, and the user's print job showing the positive attitude is output.
As a result, the user of the job subjected to priority processing recognizes that the output function of the MFP 4 can be preferentially used if he / she shows a positive attitude for securing the capacity of the HDD 32, so that the management of the HDD 32 by his / her own operation is promoted. . As a result, the capacity of the HDD 32 can be ensured and contribute to the acquisition of the optimum performance of the MFP 4.

  The priority processing determination unit 54 can also store the storage status in the HDD 32 for each user based on, for example, the user ID of the job. Whether or not the user can preferentially use the MFP 4 depends on the job storage amount, The determination is made based on a comparison between the remaining rate obtained from the erased amount and a threshold value Z indicating the contribution degree of securing the capacity of the HDD 32. As described above, if the significance of the positive attitude for securing the capacity of the HDD 32 is clarified, the privilege granter can be easily and reliably authorized.

  Furthermore, when authorized as a privilege giver, the output function of this authorized user's job can be used in preference to the current user, while after the priority use of this output function, the privilege granter is certified. Is reset to the initial state, and then the user of the interrupted job and the user of the preferentially processed job are treated equally.

  Therefore, the user of the job that has been preferentially processed takes a positive attitude to secure the capacity of the HDD 32 so that the output function of the MFP 4 can be preferentially used again, and even if the user of the job is interrupted, In the future, if a positive attitude toward securing the capacity of the HDD 32 is shown, it will be possible to recognize that the output function of the MFP 4 can be preferentially used, so that the management of the HDD 32 by its own operation is further promoted.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
For example, the remaining rate described in the above embodiment is an example, and the current erasure amount, in other words, whether the erasure amount of the print job operated by the user himself / herself within the job accumulation period exceeds a threshold indicating the contribution degree of securing the capacity. You may determine whether you want to use it preferentially or not.

  In the above embodiment, the print job is erased from the HDD 32. However, in view of the fact that the capacity of the HDD 32 can be compressed, the stored job related to the user of the present invention includes the print job created by the user, the scanner unit 22 read by the user, and the facsimile addressed to the user. Each job also corresponds, and even when each job is intentionally deleted, it can be recognized as a privilege granter.

  Further, the above embodiment is an example in which a saved job is printed in preference to a job that is currently being executed. However, the present invention replaces this saved job and the print job that is currently being executed by the PC 8 is being executed. The present invention is also applicable when printing is given priority over jobs.

  Further, as a privilege that can be given to the user, it is possible to print on a new paper instead of the back paper by switching the supply source of the paper feed cassette 11 or the like. Facsimile transmission may be performed with priority over the middle job. This is because even in the case of this facsimile transmission, priority use is possible by raising the execution order.

Finally, the above-described MFP 4 is an example of an image forming apparatus, and the present invention is naturally applicable to a copying machine, a printer, a facsimile, and the like having a storage function and an output function.
In any of these cases, similarly to the above, there is an effect that the capacity of the storage unit can be reliably ensured.
