Each of these units is realized by processing executed by the CPU 111 by one or more programs installed in the image forming apparatus 10a.

  The device browser 121 is the device browser described above. In FIG. 4, the device browser 121 includes a device information acquisition unit 121a, a Web page acquisition unit 121b, a drawing unit 121c, a script interpretation unit 121d, and the like.

  The device information acquisition unit 121a acquires or collects information for identifying the performance or specification of the image forming apparatus 10a from the image forming apparatus 10a. In the present embodiment, the model name is used as information for identifying the performance or specification of the image forming apparatus 10a. The model name is an example of identification information of the model or model of the image forming apparatus 10a.

  The Web page acquisition unit 121b acquires (downloads) the Web page related to the URL input to the device browser 121 via the network. In the present embodiment, the Web page is acquired from the Web server device 20. The drawing unit 121 c interprets the screen information included in the Web page and draws the screen indicated by the screen information in the video memory of the operation panel 15. The operation panel 15 displays a screen drawn in the video memory. Therefore, the drawing unit 121c substantially causes the operation panel 15 to display the screen indicated by the screen information included in the Web page.

The script interpretation unit 121d interprets a script included in the Web page acquired by the Web page acquisition unit 121b, and executes processing according to the script. The script interpretation unit 121d causes the device control unit 122 to execute processing according to the extended script. The device control unit 122 performs various functions including functions unique to the image forming apparatus 10a in response to a request from a higher-level program. Is a set of programs that cause the image forming apparatus 10a to execute. In the present embodiment, the device browser 121 corresponds to a host program for the device control unit 122.

  The Web server device 20 includes a request reception unit 21, a model information acquisition unit 22, a Web page generation unit 23, a response reply unit 24, and the like. Each of these units is realized by a process that the CPU 204 causes one or more programs such as a Web application installed in the Web server device 20 to execute. The Web server device 20 also includes a model information storage unit 25 and a template data storage unit 26. Each of these storage units can be realized by using the auxiliary storage device 202 or a storage device connected to the Web server device 20 via a network.

  The request reception unit 21 receives a Web page acquisition request from the Web page acquisition unit 121b. The model information acquisition unit 22 acquires information corresponding to the model name specified in the Web page acquisition request from the model information storage unit 25. The model information storage unit 25 stores, for each model name, information indicating the function of the model indicated by the model name. Hereinafter, the information stored for each model name by the model information storage unit 25 is referred to as “model information”.

  The web page generation unit 23 generates a web page corresponding to the model name specified in the acquisition request. For generation of the Web page, model data stored in the model data storage unit 26 and model information acquired by the model information acquisition unit 22 are used. The template data refers to data that becomes a template in common for Web pages generated for all models or a plurality of models of the image forming apparatus 10a. The template data exists, for example, for each URL (for example, for each type of operation screen of the image forming apparatus 10a). The response reply unit 24 returns a response including the web page generated by the web page generation unit 23 to the web page acquisition unit 121b.

  Hereinafter, a processing procedure executed in the information processing system 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram for explaining an example of a processing procedure of Web page display processing.

  In step S101, the device browser 121 receives an input of a URL for a certain Web page from the user of the image forming apparatus 10a via the operation panel 15. The input of the URL may not be an input of a character string constituting the URL. For example, a URL associated with the link or hard key may be input by selecting a link on the screen already displayed on the operation panel 15 or pressing a hard key.

  Subsequently, the device information acquisition unit 121a acquires a model name (S102). The model name is acquired from the ROM 113 or the NVRAM 115, for example. In addition to the model name, information (for example, a production number) for identifying an individual device (machine) may be acquired. Hereinafter, the information including the acquired model name is referred to as “device information”.

  Subsequently, the Web page acquisition unit 121b transmits a Web page acquisition request (HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) request) in which device information is specified to the input URL (S103).

  The acquisition request is received by the request receiving unit 21 of the Web server device 20. In response to the reception of the Web page acquisition request, the Web server device 20 generates a Web page corresponding to the URL specified in the acquisition request (S104). Subsequently, the response reply unit 24 of the Web server device 20 returns a response including the generated Web page (HTTP response) to the image forming apparatus 10a that is the transmission source of the Web page acquisition request (S105).

  When the returned Web page is received by the Web page acquisition unit 121b, the drawing unit 121c causes the operation panel 15 to display an operation screen based on the screen information included in the Web page (S106).

  In the present embodiment, for example, an operation screen as shown in FIG. 6 or 7 is displayed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a first display example of the operation screen. The operation screen 510 in FIG. 6 has four tabs. A tab 511 is a tab corresponding to the scan function operation screen. A tab 512 is a tab corresponding to the operation screen for the print function. A tab 513 is a tab corresponding to the operation screen of the fax function. A tab 514 is a tab corresponding to the copy function operation screen.

  FIG. 6 shows a state where the tab 511 is selected. Accordingly, in FIG. 6, the scan function operation screen is displayed in a table format. One line corresponds to one setting item for the scan function. For example, line 515 is an area for setting a color mode. A line 516 is an area for setting the paper size. In this embodiment, setting items for each function or combinations of setting items and values are also handled as functions. For example, the fact that the A4 paper size can be set is because it can be considered to have a function capable of scanning with the A4 paper size.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a second display example of the operation screen. In FIG. 7, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIG.

  The operation screen 510a shown in FIG. 7 has only a tab 511 corresponding to the scan function. Therefore, only the operation screen corresponding to the scan function is displayed on the operation screen 510a. Further, the options in the row 516 are different from those in FIG.

  The difference between the operation screen 510 of FIG. 6 and the operation screen 510a of FIG. 7 may occur when different model names are specified in the Web page acquisition request for the same URL. That is, based on the model name specified in the Web page acquisition request, the Web server device 20 generates a Web page that displays an operation screen suitable for the model indicated by the model name.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure of Web page generation processing executed by the Web server device. That is, FIG. 8 shows a processing procedure executed in step S104 of FIG.

  In step S <b> 201, the model information acquisition unit 22 acquires model information corresponding to the model name specified in the Web page acquisition request from the model information storage unit 25.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the model information storage unit. In FIG. 9, the model information storage unit 25 stores values of items such as panel resolution, size ratio, Function, Color, and PaperSize for each model name.

  The panel resolution is a resolution of the liquid crystal panel in the operation panel 15 in the width (X) direction and the height (Y) direction. The size ratio refers to the ratio or ratio with respect to the size information in the template data. The size in the template data is the size of various display elements (or drawing elements) defined in the template data. In FIG. 9, “60%” is associated with the model name “AAA” as the size ratio. This indicates that a value obtained by multiplying the size information of the display element defined in the template data by 0.6 is a size suitable for the Web page of the model.

  Function is an item indicating which function the Scan has (Scan function), Print (Print function), Fax (Fax function), and Copy (Copy function). “Color” is an item indicating whether the model is a color-compatible device, that is, whether it has a color function. “0” indicates that the device is not a color compatible device. “1” indicates a color-compatible device. PaperSize is a list of paper sizes supported by the model. Although omitted in FIG. 9, PaperSize lists possible paper sizes.

  Of the items constituting the model information, the values set in Function, Color, and PaperSize are information indicating the functions of the model. Hereinafter, this information is referred to as “functional information”. Function, Color, and PaperSize are referred to as function item names. Items other than these items may be added to the function item name.

  Subsequently, the Web page generation unit 23 acquires a copy of the template data corresponding to the URL specified in the Web page acquisition request from the template data storage unit 26 (S202). Hereinafter, the replication is referred to as template data.

  10 and 11 are diagrams showing examples of template data definition. 10 and FIG. 11, a part of one template data 800 is shown. That is, in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a part of the definition content is omitted.

  The template data 800 is data serving as a Web page template related to the operation screen 510 of FIG. 6 and the operation screen 510a of FIG. In the template data 800, all display elements corresponding to functions and setting items of all models whose model names are stored in the model information storage unit 25 are defined. That is, the template data includes a definition corresponding to the maximum specification of the image forming apparatus 10a.

  In the template data 800, an element 810 is a definition for the tags 511 to 514 in FIG. More specifically, element 811, element 812, element 813, and element 814 are definitions for tag 511, tag 512, tag 513, and tag 514 in order.

  An element 820 across FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is a definition for the operation screen displayed when the tag 511 is selected. An element 830 (FIG. 11) is a definition for an operation screen displayed when the tag 512 is selected. Note that the definition of the operation screen displayed when the tag 513 or the tag 514 is selected is omitted for convenience.

  An element 822 included in the element 820 is a definition corresponding to the row 515. Element 8221 is a definition corresponding to the value column in row 515. Therefore, the element 8221 defines options in the row 515 (color mode).

  Similarly, element 823 (FIG. 11) included in element 820 is a definition corresponding to row 516. An element 8231 is a definition corresponding to the value column in the row 516. Therefore, the element 8231 defines options in the row 516 (paper size).

  Subsequently, the web page generation unit 23 deletes unnecessary portions from the function-dependent portions of the acquired template data 800 based on the model information acquired by the model information acquisition unit 22 (S203). The function-dependent portion refers to a portion having different necessity or effectiveness of display depending on the functional configuration of the image forming apparatus 10a.

  In the template data 800, the function-dependent portion refers to a line to which a comment of the form “<! --- [Function Item Name] = [Value] ---->” is given. The comment indicates a condition in which the line to which the comment is attached becomes valid. That is, in the model information, when the function item name applied to “function item name” is a value applied to [value], the line is valid.

  If the function-dependent part extends over multiple lines, “<!-[Function Item Name] = [Value] Begin ―― >>” and “<!-[Function Item Name] = [Value] End ―― >> ”Designates the range of the function-dependent part.

  For example, in the template data 800, a comment “<! — Function = Scan—>” is given to the element 811. This indicates that the line is valid when “Scan” is included in the value of “Function” in the model information. Similar comments are also given to the elements 812 to 814.

  Also, in the first line of the element 820, a comment “<!-Function = Scan Begin->” is described, and at the end of the element 820 (FIG. 11), “<!-Function = Scan End— -> "Is described. From this, it can be understood that the element 820 is effective when “Scan” is included in the value of “Function” in the model information.

  For example, if the model name specified in the Web page acquisition request is “AAA”, the model information on the first line in FIG. 9 is acquired in step S201. In the model information, the value of “Function” is “Scan”. The value of “Color” is “0”. Although the value of “PaperSize” is omitted in FIG. 9, it is assumed that it is “Auto, AutoMixed, A5, A5T, A4, A4T, B5, B5T, B4T”.

  In step S <b> 203, function-dependent portions that do not match these function information are deleted from the template data 800. Therefore, the elements 812 to 814 are deleted. In addition, the line to which the comment “<!-Color = 1->” is added in the element 8221 is deleted. Also, a line in the element 8231 (FIG. 11) to which a comment in which “A3, Letter, LetterT, 11 × 17T, or LegalT” is specified as the PaperSize value is deleted.

  Further, the element 830 is also deleted. As a result, there is data in which a part associated with function information different from the function information included in the model information corresponding to the model name specified in the Web page acquisition request is deleted from the template data 800. , Generated as a web page.

  In the present embodiment, for example, a Web page as shown in FIG. 12 is generated based on the template data 800 in FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a definition example of the generated Web page. In FIG. 12, the same or corresponding parts as those in FIG. 10 or FIG.

  The difference between the template data 800 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and the Web page 800C shown in FIG. 12 is as described above.

  An invalid function-dependent part (a function-dependent part to be deleted in the above) may be processed so as to be grayed out instead of being deleted. That is, the template data 800 may be processed so that invalid function-dependent portions are invalid or cannot be operated when displayed.

  Subsequently, the web page generation unit 23 corrects the size information for the web page 800C from which unnecessary function-dependent portions are deleted (S204). That is, when an absolute value is specified instead of a relative value such as a ratio as the size information of the display element, the original value is replaced by a value obtained by multiplying the absolute value by the size ratio included in the model information. The

  The web page 800C of FIG. 12 shows a state where size information has already been corrected. That is, the value of the width attribute in the element 821 is replaced from 600 to 360. The width attribute is an attribute indicating the size of the width of the table. The same correction may be performed for other drawing elements such as graphics, images, or characters. In the case of characters, the font size may be corrected. Further, the size information may be corrected by other methods. For example, the absolute value may be stored as the correction value in the model information. Correction may be performed by adding or subtracting the absolute value. In addition, a function formula for correcting the size information may be included in the model information as a correction value.

  Thus, the generation of the web page is completed. When a response including the Web page 800C is returned by the response reply unit 24, an operation screen 500a as shown in FIG. That is, the Web page 800C is a definition example corresponding to the operation screen 500a. The template data 800 is a definition example corresponding to the operation screen 500 of FIG.

  The image forming apparatus 10a can be provided with a peripheral device such as a finisher. That is, there is a possibility that the hardware configuration and functional configuration may change even with the same model. As described above, for a function that cannot be specified only by the model, the function item name and value of the function may be specified in the Web page acquisition request.

  The model information stored in the model information storage unit 25 may also be specified in the Web page acquisition request. The device information acquisition unit 121a may acquire not only the model name but also the value of each item constituting the model information. In this case, the model information storage unit 25 is not necessarily required, but may be mounted in view of the possibility of the image forming apparatus 10a not transmitting model information. When the model information specified in the Web page acquisition request and the model information stored in the model information storage unit 25 collide, the model information specified in the Web page acquisition request may be prioritized.

  However, by providing the model information storage unit 25 on the Web server device side as in the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the necessity of collecting and transmitting model information in each image forming apparatus 10a. That is, the mounting on the image forming apparatus 10a can be simplified.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the Web page related to the acquisition request is generated based on the function information and the template data regarding the image forming apparatus 10a that is the Web page acquisition request source. Therefore, if the template data is created, the necessity for creating a Web page is reduced for each model or each image forming apparatus 10a having a different function. As a result, Web page development efficiency can be improved.

  Note that the web page does not necessarily have to be acquired from the web server device 20 via the network. For example, it may be stored in the HDD 114 of the image forming apparatus 10a. In this case, the Web page acquisition unit 121a may acquire a Web page from the HDD 114. Further, the image forming apparatus 10a only needs to have each unit included in the Web server apparatus 20.

  Further, the present embodiment may be implemented with respect to the projector 10b, the mobile terminal 10c, and the like. In addition, the present embodiment may be applied to a device (not shown) that can mount a Web browser on the operation panel, such as a digital camera.

  In the present embodiment, the Web server device 20 is an example of an information processing device. The request receiving unit 21 is an example of a receiving unit. The model information acquisition unit 22 is an example of an acquisition unit. The web page generation unit 23 is an example of a generation unit. The response reply unit 24 is an example of a reply unit. The model information storage unit 25 is an example of a storage unit.

  As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to such specific embodiment, In the range of the summary of this invention described in the claim, various deformation | transformation・ Change is possible.
