Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, a printing system, an icon display control method, and an icon display control program, and more specifically, an information processing apparatus, an image processing apparatus, a printing system, and an icon display with good usability. The present invention relates to an icon display control method and an icon display control program.

  In recent years, image processing apparatuses and information processing apparatuses such as composite apparatuses, copying apparatuses, printer apparatuses, and computers have functions assigned to each icon by selecting an icon (Widget) displayed on the screen in the user interface. However, since the number of icons that can be displayed on one screen is limited, the operability of the icons deteriorates as the number of icons increases. In particular, when the number of icons is too large to fit on one screen, it is necessary to switch screens, and the influence of the icon arrangement state on operability increases.

  Conventionally, in a portable information device having a menu display function for displaying a list of icons that can be identified by an application program as menu items in the same window, a counting means for counting the number of times each of the icons is selected And a portable information device characterized by comprising an arrangement order determining means for determining the arrangement order of the icons in the window based on the number of selections counted by the counting means.

  In other words, the operation of the icons on the screen may be performed by operating each individual icon once, or the intended operation may be performed. In some cases, an input operation may be performed. When an icon operation is performed in which only one icon or a plurality of icons having different numbers are successively operated, the icon is simply based on the number of icon selections as in the prior art. In order to perform the icon operation intended by the user when the icons are continuously operated, it is necessary to search for the target icon from the icon array rearranged under certain conditions. Therefore, the operability of the icons could not be improved, and improvement was necessary.

  In view of this, an object of the present invention is to arrange icons in an arrangement order that improves operability even when a plurality of icons are continuously operated.

  In order to achieve the above object, the information processing apparatus according to claim 1 is a display screen that displays a plurality of icons each assigned a function to a predetermined display area, and the icons displayed on the display screen. Icon operation pattern information acquisition means for acquiring identification information of a plurality of icons operated in a predetermined series as icon operation pattern information together with an operation order, icon operation pattern information storage means for storing a plurality of the icon operation pattern information, Icon arrangement determining means for determining an icon arrangement order based on a plurality of the icon operation pattern information stored in the icon operation pattern information storage means and displaying the plurality of icons in the arrangement order on the display screen; It is characterized by having.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to arrange icons in an arrangement order that improves operability even when a plurality of icons are continuously operated.

It is constructed as an image processing apparatus and a printing apparatus in the printing system 1 that executes an icon display control method for controlling the corresponding icon arrangement order. This icon display control program is a computer-executable program written in a legacy programming language such as assembler, C, C ++, C #, Java (registered trademark) or an object-oriented programming language, and is stored in the recording medium. And can be distributed.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. The authentication system 1 according to the present embodiment arranges icons in an arrangement order that improves operability even when a plurality of icons displayed on the display screen DP of the operation display unit 34 of the print execution apparatus Pr are continuously operated.

  First, the icon operation information of the unauthenticated login user when the user logs in to the print execution apparatus Pr and performs icon operation without user authentication is stored in the entire icon pattern storage unit 23 of the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC. The icon operation information registration process of the unauthenticated login user to be registered will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 2, the user U activates the print client function unit CL of the information processing apparatus PC and logs in without performing user authentication using the user authentication information (S1), and performs necessary document data and print settings. When a print instruction is issued, the print client function unit CL generates a print job without adding user authentication information, sends the print job to the print job agent function unit AG, and sends the print job to the print job agent function unit AG. Is registered (S2).

  When the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC registers a print job to which no user authentication information is added, the icon pattern generation unit 25 stores a plurality of icons stored in the entire icon pattern storage unit 23. Based on the operation information, display icon pattern information for the unauthenticated login user (displayed as icon information in FIG. 2) is transmitted from the communication unit 21 to the print execution apparatus Pr via the communication line L (S3).

  In the print execution device Pr, the icon display unit 34 has an icon arrangement order corresponding to display icon pattern information (arrangement order information) sent from the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC. When the user U operates the icon displayed on the display screen DP (S4-1) (denoted as icon execution in FIG. 2), the icon management unit 35 displays the icon on the display screen DP. The print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC transmits an ID (icon ID: icon identification information) indicating the operated icon and an operation time (execution time: operation order) from the communication unit 31 via the communication line L. (S5-1).

  When the icon operation information such as the icon ID and the operation time is sent from the print execution apparatus Pr, the print job agent function unit AG uses the icon operation pattern list as one list candidate of the entire icon pattern. P1 (described as a pattern list in FIG. 2) is stored as the first icon of the icon operation pattern list P1 (S6-1).

  Similarly, when the icon displayed on the display screen DP of the operation display unit 34 is operated by the user U (S4-2), the icon management unit 35 of the print execution apparatus Pr displays an ID ( The icon operation information including the icon ID) and the operation time (execution time) is sent from the communication unit 31 to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC via the communication line L (S5-2).

  When the icon operation information is sent from the print execution apparatus Pr, the print job agent function unit AG determines whether the icon operation time is within a predetermined time from the previous icon operation. The previous icon in the entire icon pattern storage unit 23 is stored as the next icon in the same icon operation pattern list P1 as the registered icon operation pattern list (S6-2).

  The print job agent function unit AG of the print execution apparatus Pr and the information processing apparatus PC acquires the continuously operated icons as a series of operation icons as long as the icon operation is operated within a certain time, and the same as above. Are registered in order in the same icon operation pattern list P1.

Thereafter, when a predetermined time or more has elapsed from the operation of the icon (S7), the icon pattern control unit 25 of the print job agent function unit AG sets the icon operation pattern list P1 as the icon operation pattern list P1 with the completed operation sequence, and the entire icon. After registering in the pattern storage unit 23 (S8), the print execution device Pr thereafter performs an icon operation on the display screen DP of the operation display unit 34 by the user U (S9), similarly to the above, the icon management unit 35 Sends the icon operation information including the operated icon (icon ID) and the operation time (execution time) from the communication unit 31 to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC via the communication line L. (S10).
When the icon operation information is sent from the print execution device Pr, the print job agent function unit AG sends the icon operation information to the icon operation pattern list P2 that is the next list candidate in the entire icon pattern storage unit 23. The same processing as described above is performed from the processing of storing as the first icon of the icon operation pattern list P2 (S11).

  Next, the icon operation information of the authentication login user when the user authenticates the user and logs in to the print execution apparatus Pr and operates the icon is stored in the personal icon pattern storage unit 24 of the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC. The icon operation information registration process of the authentication login user registered in correspondence with the print execution apparatus Pr and the user U will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the user U performs user authentication using user authentication information (for example, personal ID, password, etc.), activates the print client function unit CL of the information processing apparatus PC, and logs in (S21). When the print instruction is made with the correct document data and print settings, the print client function unit CL generates a print job with the user authentication information added, and sends the print job to the print job agent function unit AG for printing. A print job is registered in the job agent function unit AG (S22).

  When the print job agent function unit AG registers a print job to which user authentication information is added, the icon pattern generation unit 25 displays a plurality of icon operation pattern list information stored in the personal icon pattern storage unit 24. Display icon pattern information (displayed as icon information in FIG. 3) for an authenticated login user corresponding to the user authentication information based on the icon operation information included is displayed from the communication unit 21 via the communication line L to the print execution device Pr. (S23).

  In the print execution apparatus Pr, the operation display unit 34 has the icon management unit 35 in the icon arrangement order corresponding to the display icon pattern information (arrangement order information) for the authenticated login user sent from the print job agent function unit AG. When the user U performs a touch operation on the icon displayed on the display screen DP (S24-1) (denoted as icon execution in FIG. 3), the icon management unit The icon operation information including the ID (icon ID) indicating the operated icon 35 and the operation time (execution time) is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC via the communication line L. Send and register (S25-1).

  When the print job agent function unit AG receives icon operation information including an icon ID and an operation time from the print execution device Pr, the icon execution time management unit 22 converts the icon operation information into the authentication of the personal icon pattern. The icon operation pattern list P21 that is one list candidate belonging to the login user is stored as the first icon of the icon operation pattern list P21 (S26-1).

  Similarly, the icon management unit 35 of the print execution apparatus Pr touches the icon displayed on the display screen DP of the operation display unit 34 by the user U before a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous icon operation. When operated (S24-2), the icon management unit 35 sends icon operation information of the operated icon from the communication unit 31 to the print job agent function unit AG via the communication line L (S25-2).

  When the icon operation information is sent from the print execution device Pr, the print job agent function unit AG determines whether the icon operation time management unit 22 is within a certain time from the previous icon operation. If it is within a certain time, the icon before the icon operation pattern list P21 of the authentication login user of the personal icon pattern is stored as the next icon of the same icon operation pattern list P21 as the registered icon operation pattern list (S26). -2).

  The print execution apparatus Pr and the print job agent function unit AG acquire the icons as a series of operations as long as the icon operations are operated within a certain period of time, process them in the same manner as described above, and sequentially execute the same icon operation pattern list P21. Register with.

Thereafter, when a predetermined time or more has elapsed from the operation of the icon (S27), the icon pattern control unit 25 of the print job agent function unit AG sets the icon operation pattern list P21 as the icon operation pattern list P21 of the operation sequence completed, and the personal icon After registering in the pattern storage unit 24 (S28), the print execution device Pr thereafter has an icon operation on the display screen DP of the operation display unit 34 by the user U (S29). The ID (icon ID) indicating the icon operated and the operation time (execution time) are sent from the communication unit 31 to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC via the communication line L (S30).
When the icon execution time management unit 22 of the print job agent function unit AG receives the icon ID and the operation time from the print execution apparatus Pr, the icon execution time management unit 22 displays the icon ID and the operation time in the authentication login of the personal icon pattern storage unit 24. The same processing is performed from the processing of storing the icon operation pattern list P22 as the next list candidate of the user as the first icon of the icon operation pattern list P22 (S31).

  Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the print execution apparatus Pr receives seven icon operation pattern lists from the print job agent function unit AG, the icon management unit 35 displays the seven icon operation pattern lists. The total number of operations for each icon (total number of additions) is calculated, the icon arrangement order is set in the descending order of the number of operations (execution times), and the icons of the set arrangement order are shown at the left end of FIG. In this way, it is displayed on the display screen DP in an unoperated state. In the case of FIG. 4, when calculating the total number of operations at the head position of each icon in the seven icon operation pattern lists, the icon management unit 35 has the largest number of round icons, 130 times, and the star icon next. 20 times, then the diamond icon is 10 times, and finally the square icon is 0 times, so the order of the circle icon → star icon → diamond icon → square icon is set as the icon arrangement order. And displayed on the display screen DP.

  When the user U operates a round icon on the display screen DP displayed in this icon arrangement order, the icon management unit 35 displays an icon operation pattern list in which the round icon is the first icon among the seven icon operation pattern lists. (In FIG. 4, the icon operation pattern list is narrowed down.) Similarly, the total number of times of operation of each icon in the narrowed icon operation pattern list is calculated, and the arrangement order of the icons is determined. And displayed on the display screen DP. That is, in FIG. 4, when the total number of operation times of the second icon in the narrowed down icon operation pattern list is calculated, the round icon is 100 times, the star icon is 30 times, the diamond icon and the square icon Are 0 times each. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the icon management unit 35 has a plurality of icons having the same total number of operations in which the number of operations of each icon at a position corresponding to the same execution order of the plurality of icon operation pattern lists is calculated. Sometimes, the acquisition order is determined as the icon arrangement order. Therefore, in FIG. 4, when the icon operation is performed once, the icon management unit 35 sets the icon arrangement order as the same icon arrangement order as the initial screen, and the display screen as shown in the middle of FIG. It is determined as the arrangement order to be displayed on the DP.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, as the second icon operation, the icon management unit 35, when a circle icon is operated, the circle icon is continuously displayed twice in the narrowed four icon operation pattern lists. In this icon operation pattern list, icons that may be operated for the third time are preferentially arranged in the first icon arrangement order, and the subsequent arrangement order is now set. The arrangement order up to is kept. That is, in FIG. 4, the icon management unit 35 determines the arrangement order in which the circle icon and the star icon are exchanged and displayed on the display screen DP.

  The icon management unit 35 performs the replacement of the icon arrangement order as shown in FIG. 5, for example. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 5, for example, when 16 icons are displayed on the display screen DP, the icon management unit 35 displays the icon indicated by the black circle arranged at the lower right of the display screen DP at the upper left. The arrangement order is changed so that the arrangement order is changed to be displayed at the position, and the icon that has been located at the upper left so far is shifted to the right by one, and the lower order icons are moved.

Then, the print execution apparatus Pr executes the icon selection screen display process as shown in FIG. That is, the print execution apparatus Pr sends an icon operation pattern list (indicated as a pattern list in FIG. 6) to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC with or without user authentication information. ) Is requested (S41).
When user authentication information is added to the icon operation pattern list request, the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC reads the icon operation pattern list corresponding to the user authentication information from the personal icon pattern storage unit 24. When the user authentication information is not added to the pattern list request, the entire icon operation pattern list is read from the entire icon pattern storage unit 23 and returned to the print execution apparatus Pr (S42).

  The print execution apparatus Pr performs pattern matching on the icon operation pattern list as shown as the first pattern matching in FIG. 4 (S43), and arranges the icons in the icon arrangement order (arrangement) after applying the pattern of the matching result. Then, it is displayed on the display screen DP as an icon selection screen (S44).

  When the icon U (icon execution) is performed by the user U in this state (S45), the print execution apparatus Pr performs pattern matching as shown as the second pattern matching in FIG. 4 (S46). Icons are arranged in the icon arrangement order (arrangement) after the pattern is applied and displayed on the display screen DP as an icon selection screen (S47).

  Furthermore, when the icon operation (icon execution) is performed by the user U in this state (S48), the print execution apparatus Pr performs pattern matching as shown as the third pattern matching in FIG. 4 (S49), The icons are arranged in the icon arrangement order (arrangement) after the pattern of the matching result is applied and displayed on the display screen DP as an icon selection screen (S50).

  The print execution apparatus Pr sequentially executes the display icon pattern setting process of pattern matching, display after application of the icon array, icon execution, pattern matching,... While the icon operation is performed within a predetermined time period. To do.

  Then, the print execution apparatus Pr performs the icon collation process as shown in FIGS. That is, when the user U performs an icon operation, the print execution apparatus Pr first issues an acquisition request for an icon operation pattern list corresponding to the user U as shown in FIG. 7 to the print job agent function unit AG of the information processing apparatus PC. (S61), when the icon operation pattern list corresponding to the user U is sent back from the print job agent function unit AG (S62), the icon management unit 35 first displays the first icon of each icon operation pattern list. Is acquired (S63), and it is checked whether there are a plurality of types of icons (S64).

  When there are a plurality of types of top icons in the plurality of icon operation pattern lists, the icon management unit 35 performs a use count process for calculating the total use count of each icon as shown in FIG. 4 (S65). The icon that is used most frequently at the top is set to the top (first) of the display order (display list) (S66). The icon management unit 35 performs the icon use count process only when there are a plurality of types of icons to be processed, and when there is only one type of icon, the icon management unit 35 sets the icon as an icon at the arrangement order position. .

  When the icon management unit 35 determines the top icon and sets it in the display list, next, similarly, the icon management unit 35 obtains the second icon from the top of each icon operation pattern list (S67), and there are multiple types of icons. If there are a plurality of types of icons, similarly, the number-of-uses processing for calculating the total number of times of use of each icon is performed (S69). Is set to the second display order (display list) (S70).
