Description

  The present invention relates to control of an apparatus using a human sensor.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some electronic devices such as image processing apparatuses control an apparatus by detecting the presence of a nearby user using information from a human sensor incorporated in the apparatus. As a typical control, when the image processing apparatus has a power saving mode for reducing power consumption in addition to the normal operation mode, the user can save when the user enters the detection range of the human sensor during the power saving mode. Some return from the power mode to the normal operation mode (see Patent Document 1).

  However, the detection range of the human sensor built in the image processing apparatus changes depending on the installation location and installation direction of the image processing apparatus. Therefore, depending on the detection range, the control operation using the human sensor may not match the user's intention. For example, a user who wants to use the device may not be detected even if he approaches the device, or conversely, a person who has just passed by the device may be detected frequently.

Furthermore, since the detection range of the human sensor is not visible, it is difficult for the user to notice that it is in such a state.
Even if the user notices such a situation and tries to adjust the installation location or orientation of the image processing device so that the control operation using the human sensor matches the user's intention, the detection range of the human sensor Is invisible, so adjustment is extremely difficult.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. An object of the present invention is to make it easy to confirm and adjust the relative position of the detection range of the human sensor that cannot be directly confirmed by visual observation from the apparatus body, and to control the operation of the apparatus using the human sensor. It is to provide a mechanism that can be adjusted to the state to be.

  The present invention is an image processing apparatus, wherein the detection unit detects an object, the storage unit stores setting information indicating a detection range of the detection unit, and the detection unit based on the setting information stored in the storage unit Generating display information including information indicating a detection range of the image in a relative position from the image processing apparatus, and transmitting the generated display information to the external apparatus to display the generated display information on the external apparatus, and the detection Receiving means for receiving an instruction to change the detection range of the means from the external device, updating means for updating setting information stored in the storage means based on the instruction received by the receiving means, and based on the setting information Control means for controlling the operation of the image processing apparatus in accordance with a detection state of the detection means in a detection range.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily confirm and adjust the relative position from the apparatus main body of the detection range of the human sensor that cannot be directly confirmed visually, and to control the operation of the apparatus using the human sensor.

Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, an image processing apparatus will be described as an example of an electronic apparatus to which the present invention can be applied.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of an image processing apparatus showing an embodiment of an electronic apparatus of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the image processing apparatus 1 includes an image reading unit 101, a network interface unit 102, a human sensor unit 103, a display / operation unit 104, a CPU 105, a memory 106, an HDD 107, an image printing unit 108, and a data bus 109. The power supply control unit 110 is included.

  The image reading unit 101 operates under the control of the CPU 105, scans a document set by a user on a document table (not shown), generates image data, and transmits the image data to the memory 106 via the data bus 109.

  The network interface unit 102 operates under the control of the CPU 105, reads data stored in the memory 106 via the data bus 109, and transmits the data to the LAN outside the image processing apparatus 1. The network interface unit 102 stores data received from the LAN outside the image processing apparatus 1 in the memory 106 via the data bus 109. For example, the image processing apparatus 1 can communicate with a terminal apparatus 2 shown in FIG. 2 described later via the network interface unit 102.

The human sensor unit 103 includes a plurality of sensors (human sensors) typified by pyroelectric sensors for detecting objects around the image processing apparatus 1. The object detected by the human sensor 103 may be a stationary body or a moving body. In this embodiment, the object detected by the human sensor unit 103 is described as a human body, but the object detected by the human sensor unit 103 is not limited to the human body. In the present embodiment, the human sensor unit 103 includes a plurality of human sensors represented by pyroelectric sensors for detecting users around the image processing apparatus 1. The human sensor unit 103 transmits detection information of each human sensor to the CPU 105 under the control of the CPU 105. That is, the CPU 105 can acquire detection results for each region corresponding to a plurality of sensors included in the human sensor unit 103 from the human sensor unit 103. Further, the human sensor unit 103 can change the detection range by driving a driving unit (not shown) and changing the direction of the human sensor under the control of the CPU 105.
The pyroelectric sensor can detect the presence of an object from the amount of infrared rays or the like. The pyroelectric sensor is a passive human sensor that detects an approach of an object (for example, a human body) by detecting a temperature change caused by infrared rays naturally emitted from an object having a temperature such as a human body. The pyroelectric sensor is characterized by low power consumption and a relatively wide detection area. In the present embodiment, the human sensor constituting the human sensor unit 103 is described as a pyroelectric sensor. However, the human sensor is not limited to the pyroelectric sensor, and other types of human sensors. It may be. In this embodiment, the human sensor unit 103 uses a human sensor array in which human sensors (pyroelectric sensors) are arranged in an N × N array.

  The display / operation unit 104 includes a display device (not shown) and an input device (not shown). The display / operation unit 104 operates under the control of the CPU 105 and displays information received from the CPU 105 via the data bus 109 on a display device (not shown). Further, the display / operation unit 104 transmits operation information on the operation of the input device (not shown) by the user to the CPU 105.

  The CPU 105 reads a program stored in the HDD 107 to the memory 106 and controls the entire image processing apparatus 1 according to the program. The memory 106 is a temporary memory for storing the CPU 105 program read from the HDD 107 and image data. An HDD 107 is a hard disk drive that stores a program of the CPU 105 and stores various setting values, various screen data, image data, and the like, which will be described later. The HDD 107 may be a flash memory such as an SSD (Solid State Drive).

  The image printing unit 108 operates under the control of the CPU 105, and prints out image data received via the data bus 109 on a printing sheet (not shown) using an electrophotographic process, an inkjet printing method, or the like. The data bus 109 transfers image data and information.

  The power control unit 110 supplies power supplied from an external power outlet to each processing unit in the image processing apparatus 1. There are power switches 1101 and 1102 inside the power controller 110. The power switches 1101 and 1102 are power switches that can be turned on or off under the control of the CPU 105. Using these power switches 1101 and 1102, the image processing apparatus 1 can shift to a plurality of operation modes with different power consumption under the control of the CPU 105.

  There are three types of operation modes, for example. The first operation mode is a “normal operation mode” (first power state) in which all the functions of the image processing apparatus 1 operate. The normal operation mode is an operation mode in which the CPU 105 controls the power control unit 110 to turn on both the power switches 1101 and 1102.

  The second operation mode is a “sleep mode” (second power state) in which power supply to the image reading unit 101, the display / operation unit 104, the HDD 107, and the image printing unit 108 is stopped. The sleep mode is an operation mode in which the CPU 105 controls the power control unit 110 to turn off both power switches 1101 and 1102.

  The third operation mode is an “operation unit only operation mode” (third power state) in which power supply to the image reading unit 101 and the image printing unit 108 is stopped. The operation mode only operation mode is an operation mode in which the CPU 105 controls the power control unit 110 to turn on the power switch 1101 and turn off the power switch 1102.

  The CPU 105, the memory 106, the network interface unit 102, the human sensor unit 103, and the power control unit 110 are constantly supplied with power. The transition between the three operation modes with different power consumptions is controlled by the CPU 105. The transition from the “sleep mode” to the “operation unit only operation mode” or the “normal operation mode” is performed by the CPU 105 according to the setting contents described later using detection information of each sensor of the human sensor unit 103. .

  Basically, the human sensor unit 103 is energized even in the sleep mode in which the energization of the image printing unit 108 or the like is restricted. When the human sensor detects the presence of a person, Control is performed so as to shift to the normal operation mode and start energization of the image printing unit 108 and the like. The transition from the sleep mode to another operation mode is called a sleep return operation.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 is an information processing device such as a personal computer, for example. The terminal device 2 may be a portable terminal such as a notebook personal computer, a tablet computer, or a smartphone.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the terminal device 2 includes a network interface unit 201, a display / operation unit 202, a CPU 203, a memory 204, an HDD 205, and a data bus 206.
The network interface unit 201 operates under the control of the CPU 203, reads data stored in the memory 204 via the data bus 206, and transmits it to the LAN outside the terminal device 2. Further, the network interface unit 201 stores data received from the LAN outside the terminal device 2 in the memory 204 via the data bus 206. For example, the terminal device 2 can communicate with the image processing device 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 via the network interface unit 201.

  The display / operation unit 202 operates under the control of the CPU 203 and displays information received from the CPU 203 via the data bus 206 on a display device (display) (not shown). In addition, the display / operation unit 202 transmits, to the CPU 203, operation information that the user has operated an input device (for example, a keyboard, a pointing device, or a touch panel) (not shown).

  The CPU 203 reads the program stored in the HDD 205 to the memory 204 and controls the entire terminal device 2 according to the program. The memory 204 is a temporary memory that stores a program of the CPU 203 read from the HDD 205 and stores data received from the LAN. An HDD 205 is a hard disk drive that stores a program of the CPU 203 and various data. The HDD 205 may be a flash memory such as an SSD (Solid State Drive). Reference numeral 206 denotes a data bus, which transfers data.

  The terminal device 2 can communicate with the image processing device 1 via the LAN under the control of the CPU 203 and perform remote operation of the image processing device 1. Here, the remote operation means that the information received from the image processing apparatus 1 is displayed on the display / operation unit 202, and the operation content input to the display / operation unit 202 is transmitted to the image processing apparatus 1. The operation of the image processing apparatus 1 from the terminal device 2 is indicated.

The operation of the remote operation is realized by the cooperation of the control of the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 and the CPU 203 of the terminal apparatus 2, and the procedure is as follows.
In the terminal device 2, the CPU 203 transmits a remote operation connection request signal to the image processing device 1 connected to the LAN via the network interface unit 201. The CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 receives the remote operation connection request signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus 2 via the network interface unit 102. The CPU 105 transmits information necessary for display and operation of the remote operation to the terminal device 2 connected to the LAN via the network interface unit 102. The CPU 203 of the terminal device 2 receives information necessary for display and operation of the remote operation via the network interface unit 201. The CPU 203 of the terminal device 2 displays an operation screen on the display / operation unit 202 based on information necessary for display and operation of the remote operation, and accepts an operation from the user. When a user operation is performed, the CPU 203 of the terminal device 2 transmits a signal indicating the operation content by the user to the display / operation unit 202 to the image processing apparatus 1 connected to the LAN via the network interface unit 201. The CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 receives the signal transmitted from the terminal device 2 via the network interface unit 102. The CPU 203 of the terminal device 2 and the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 realize remote operation by repeatedly exchanging information via such a LAN.

FIG. 3F shows the human detection range by the human sensor unit 103 in the state of FIG. 3E as a plurality of trapezoids.

Since the user 3 is not a user who intends to use the image processing apparatus 1, when the image processing apparatus 1 is in the sleep mode, even if the user 3 is detected by the human sensor unit 103, the sleep recovery operation is performed. There is no need to do.
Also, the user 4 is a user who has just picked up printed paper, but when the image processing apparatus 1 is in the sleep mode, it is convenient to display the print status on the display device of the display / operation unit 104. It is thought that the nature increases. Therefore, when the user 4 is detected by the human sensor unit 103, the image processing apparatus 1 may perform the sleep return operation only from the operation mode from the sleep mode.

  In this embodiment, the human detection range by the human sensor unit 103 is represented by a plurality of trapezoids, but it may be a shape equivalent to the detection range of the human sensor, and may be other than the trapezoid. Good.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display / operation unit 202 when the image processing apparatus 1 is remotely operated by the terminal device 2.

  The human detection range 431 is displayed so that the relative position can be seen with reference to a schematic view of the image processing apparatus 1 (438 in the figure) displayed at the center as viewed from above. Moreover, although the human detection range 431 is represented by a plurality of trapezoids, each trapezoid indicates a detection range of each of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human detection sensor unit 103. For example, each pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor 103 and each trapezoid have a one-to-one correspondence. The position and size of each trapezoid represent the position and size of the detection range of the corresponding pyroelectric sensor as a relative positional relationship from the image processing apparatus 1. In the figure, a trapezoid with an oblique line as indicated by reference numeral 434 indicates that the pyroelectric sensor corresponding to the trapezoid detects the user.

  Each trapezoid has setting information indicating what sleep return operation is performed when the pyroelectric sensor corresponding to the trapezoid detects the user, and a pattern (435, 436, 437, etc.) corresponding to the setting information. ) Displays a trapezoidal background.

  A trapezoid having a setting (first operation setting) for performing an operation (first operation) for transition from the sleep mode to the normal operation mode has a white background (white background 435). In addition, the background of the trapezoid having the setting (second operation setting) for performing the operation (second operation) for shifting only the operation unit from the sleep mode to the operation mode is shaded (shaded background 436). A trapezoid having a setting (invalid setting) that does not perform the sleep recovery operation even when a user is detected has a black background (black background 437). These backgrounds may be full color and distinguishable.

  The setting of the trapezoid of the white background 435 is referred to as “sleep recovery effective setting”. Further, the setting of the trapezoid of the shaded background 436 is referred to as “only the operation unit sleep return effective setting”. Further, the setting of the trapezoid of the black background 437 is referred to as “detection invalid setting”. Note that the screen D43 (FIG. 4C) corresponds to the case where all trapezoids are set to enable sleep recovery (all trapezoids are white background 435).

The human detection range button 441 is represented by a plurality of trapezoids similarly to the human detection range 431 in FIG. 4C, and the meaning of the hatched and the background is the same, but each trapezoid is a button. ing. By clicking each trapezoid button, the operation when the corresponding pyroelectric sensor detects the user can be switched in the order of sleep return valid setting, only the operation unit sleep return setting, and detection invalid setting. It should be noted that by further clicking on the trapezoid whose detection is disabled, it can be switched again to the sleep recovery enabled setting.
Note that a screen D44 in FIG. 4D represents a detection state in the situation illustrated in FIGS. 3C and 3D.

  FIG. 4E shows the setting change screen D44 when the user clicks the change button 444 inward on the setting change screen D44. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same thing as FIG.4 (D).

  When the change button 444 (FIG. 4D) is clicked inward, the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 changes the direction of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 slightly downward to detect the detection range. Shrink the whole inside. Along with the operation, the CPU 105 reduces the shape of the human detection range button 441 and displays it on the remote operation screen as shown in FIG.

  Reference numeral 454 denotes an outward change button. When the change button 454 (FIG. 4 (E)) is clicked outward, the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 changes the direction of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 slightly upward to detect the detection range. Enlarge the whole outward. With the operation, the CPU 105 enlarges the shape of the human detection range button 441 and displays it on the remote operation screen.

  Note that FIG. 4 shows a configuration in which the direction of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 is changed slightly downward (upward) to reduce (enlarge) the entire detection range inward (outward). The orientations of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 may be configured to be changeable to the left and right. Then, a change button is provided in the left direction and a change button is provided in the right direction. When the change button is clicked in the left (right) direction, the direction of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors in the human sensor unit 103 is slightly left (right). It may be changed to move the entire detection range to the left (right) side. Further, the orientations of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors may be changed by combining the above-described top and bottom and left and right. That is, it may be changeable such as top front, bottom front, top left, bottom left, top right, bottom right. Further, the orientations of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 may be changed in a plurality of stages in each direction. In other words, the orientations of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 may be changed by combining a plurality of stages of changes in the vertical direction and a plurality of changes in the left and right directions.

  FIG. 4F shows the setting change screen D44 when the surroundings of the image processing apparatus 1 are in the state shown in FIGS. 3E and 3F in the state of the setting change screen D44. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same thing as FIG.4 (D) and FIG.4 (E).

  In FIG. 4F, the human detection range button 441 has a trapezoid with a white background, and the user 3 and the user 4 in FIGS. 3E and 3F are detected. Since the trapezoid with the white background is a trapezoid with sleep recovery valid setting, it indicates that when the image processing apparatus 1 is in the sleep mode in this situation, the sleep recovery is performed. That is, in the current setting, it is not necessary to perform the sleep recovery operation for the user 3 described in the description of FIG. 3E, and it is preferable to perform the sleep recovery operation only for the operation unit for the user 4. Therefore, the sleep recovery operation that matches the above cannot be performed. Hereinafter, a setting operation for realizing the sleep return operation described in the description of FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the display / operation unit 202 when the terminal device 2 remotely operates the image processing apparatus 1.
FIG. 5A shows the state of the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 4F, and shows two trapezoid buttons corresponding to pyroelectric sensors that can be detected by the user 3 in FIGS. 3E and 3F. This is a setting change screen D44 that is clicked repeatedly and changed to a trapezoid of “detection invalid setting” with a black background.

  FIG. 5B shows the state of the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 5A, and shows each trapezoid button corresponding to the pyroelectric sensor that can be detected by the user 4 in FIGS. 3E and 3F. This is a setting change screen D44 that is clicked repeatedly and changed to a trapezoid of “Operation unit only sleep return setting” on the shaded background.

  FIG. 5C shows a human sensor screen D43 that transitions when the decision button 443 is clicked in the state of the setting change screen D44 in FIG. is there.

  On the screen D43 in FIG. 5C, in addition to the trapezoid with the white background, the trapezoid with the black background and the shaded trapezoid with the background exists, and the user 3 in FIGS. 3E and 3F detects the trapezoid. It can be seen that the system does not return from the sleep mode in the situation where In addition, in the situation where the user 4 in FIGS. 3E and 3F is detected, it can be seen that only the operation unit returns from sleep mode to sleep.

  It should be noted that information on the orientation settings of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor 103 and the sleep return operation setting of each pyroelectric sensor is recorded in the HDD 107 under the control of the CPU 105.

Hereinafter, the flowchart of the human sensor screen will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the image processing apparatus 1 on the human sensor screen D43 shown in FIGS. 4 (C) and 5 (C). This flowchart represents a procedure in which the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 generates a human sensor screen indicating the detection range of each pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor unit 103 by a relative position from the image processing apparatus 1. ing.

In S602, the CPU 105 reads the sleep return operation setting of each pyroelectric sensor recorded in the HDD 107, and advances the process to S603.

In S603, the CPU 105 reads out the detection state of each pyroelectric sensor from the human sensor unit 103, and advances the process to S604.
In step S604, the CPU 105 reads out the trapezoidal image according to the orientation of the pyroelectric sensor, the sleep return operation setting, and the detection state from the trapezoidal image recorded in the HDD 107, and the process proceeds to step S605.

  In S605, the CPU 105 reads the human sensor screen basic image including the image processing apparatus and buttons recorded in the HDD 107, generates a composite image with the trapezoid image read in S604, and performs the process in S606. To proceed. Note that the composite image generated here includes information indicating the detection range of the human sensor unit 103 in a relative position from the image processing apparatus 1, and a region and a human being detected for each region of the human sensor unit 103.

Receiving this, the terminal device 2 displays the human sensor screen D43 as shown in FIG. 4C on the display / operation unit 202 and accepts an operation from the user. When there is an operation from the user, the terminal device 2 transmits operation information to the image processing device 1.

In step S <b> 607, the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 determines whether operation information has been received from the terminal device 2.
If it is determined that no operation information has been received from the terminal device 2 (No in S607), the CPU 105 advances the process to S603.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation information has been received from the terminal device 2 (Yes in S607), the CPU 105 advances the process to S608.
In step S <b> 608, the CPU 105 determines whether the operation information received in step S <b> 607 is a click on the return button 432.
If it is determined that the return button 432 is clicked (Yes in S608), the CPU 105 advances the process to a flowchart of a state display screen (not shown).

  Although not shown, in the flowchart of the status display screen, the CPU 105 reads out the status display screen basic image recorded in the HDD 107 (an image as indicated by D42 in FIG. 4B), and displays the status display screen. The basic image is transmitted to the terminal device 2 via the network interface unit 102 and the LAN.

Returning to the flowchart of FIG.
If it is determined in S608 that the return button 432 is not clicked (No in S608), the CPU 105 advances the process to S609.

  In S707, the CPU 105 transmits the composite image generated in S706 to the terminal device 2 via the network interface unit 102 and the LAN, and the process proceeds to S708. Upon receiving this, the terminal device 2 displays a setting change screen D44 as shown in FIGS. 4D to 4F and FIGS. Accept the operation. When there is an operation from the user, the terminal device 2 transmits operation information to the image processing device 1. Note that the terminal device 2 uses, as the operation information, an instruction to change the setting of a specific detection area of the human sensor unit 103 to “detection invalid setting” that invalidates the detection area of the human sensor unit 103, sleep Instruction to change the setting to “Sleep recovery enable setting” to transition from normal mode to normal operation mode, instruction to change the setting to “Sleep recovery enable setting only for operation unit” to change from sleep mode to operation mode only, and human sensor An instruction to change the orientation of the pyroelectric sensor of the unit 103, other instructions, and the like can be transmitted.

In step S <b> 708, the CPU 105 determines whether operation information has been received from the terminal device 2.
If it is determined that no operation information has been received from the terminal device 2 (No in S708), the CPU 105 advances the process to S704.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation information has been received from the terminal device 2 (Yes in S708), the CPU 105 advances the process to S709.
In step S709, the CPU 105 determines whether the operation information received in step S708 is a click on a trapezoid button (human detection range button 441).
If it is determined that the operation information is a click on the trapezoid button (human detection range button 441) (Yes in S709), the CPU 105 advances the process to S710.

  In S710, the CPU 105 switches the sleep recovery operation setting of the pyroelectric sensor corresponding to the trapezoid button (human detection range button 441) clicked in S708, records the setting in the setting area of the HDD 107, and proceeds to S704. Proceed with the process. At this time, the CPU 105 controls the content to be switched according to the content of the original sleep recovery operation setting. If the original is “sleep recovery enable setting”, switch to “operation unit only sleep recovery enable setting”. When the original is “only the operation unit sleep recovery enable setting”, switch to “detection disable setting”. If the original is “detection invalid setting”, switch to “sleep recovery valid setting”.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation information is not a click on the trapezoid button (human detection range button 441) (No in S709), the CPU 105 advances the process to S711.
In S711, the CPU 105 determines whether or not the operation information received in S708 is a click on the change cancel button 442.

When it is determined that the operation information is a click on the change cancel button 442 (Yes in S711), the CPU 105 advances the process to S712.
In S712, the CPU 105 reads the pyroelectric sensor orientation setting and the sleep return operation setting of each pyroelectric sensor recorded in the backup area of the HDD 107 in S702 from the HDD 107, and advances the process to S713.

In S713, the CPU 105 records the orientation setting of the pyroelectric sensor read out in S712 in the setting area of the HDD 107.
Further, in S714, the CPU 105 records the sleep return operation setting of each pyroelectric sensor read out in S712 in the setting area of the HDD 107, and advances the processing to the flowchart of the human sensor screen shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in S711 that the operation information is not a click on the change cancel button 442 (No in S711), the CPU 105 advances the process to S715.

In S715, the CPU 105 determines whether or not the operation information received in S708 is a click of the change button 444 inward or the change button 454 outward.
If it is determined that the operation information is a click of the change button 444 inward or the change button 454 outward (Yes in S715), the CPU 105 advances the process to S716.

  In S716, the CPU 105 switches the orientation setting of the pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor unit 103, records the setting in the setting area of the HDD 107, and advances the process to S704. At this time, the CPU 105 controls the content to be switched according to the content of the orientation setting of the original pyroelectric sensor. If the original setting is outward, switch to inward setting. If the original setting is inward, switch to the outward setting.

  If it is determined in S <b> 715 that the operation information is neither an inward click of the change button 444 nor an outward click of the change button 454 (No in S <b> 715), the CPU 105 advances the process to S <b> 717.

In S717, the CPU 105 determines whether or not the operation information received in S708 is a click on the determination button 443.
If it is determined that the operation information is not a click on the determination button 443 (No in S717), the CPU 105 advances the process to S704.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation information is a click on the determination button 443 (Yes in S717), the CPU 105 proceeds directly to the flowchart of the human sensor screen illustrated in FIG.

In the above configuration, an example of the operation of the image processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention will be described below.
In this example, the user 3 who works at a seat near the image processing apparatus 1 does not perform the sleep return operation even when the image processing apparatus 1 detects himself / herself. This corresponds to the procedure for setting only the operation unit to transition to the operation mode when the user 4 is detected.

  First, in the situation of FIG. 3A, the user 3 activates the terminal device 2 in order to start remote operation of the image processing apparatus 1. As described above, the terminal apparatus 2 starts communication with the image processing apparatus 1 via the LAN under the control of the CPU 203. Then, under the control of the CPU 105, the image processing apparatus 1 transmits screen information for remote operation to the terminal apparatus 2, and receives the operation information from the terminal apparatus 2 and reflects it in the internal settings. Repeat as necessary while subsequent remote operations are performed.

  The image processing device 1 transmits a screen for remote operation (top screen D41) to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 displays the received top screen D41 on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  On the top screen D41, the user 3 clicks the status display button 413 to check the status of the human sensor unit 103. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information transmits a status display screen D42 to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 displays the received status display screen D42 on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  On the status display screen D42, the user 3 clicks the human sensor button 423 in order to confirm the human sensor state. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information transmits a human sensor screen D43 to the terminal device 2. At this time, as described above, the image processing apparatus 1 has a trapezoid (focal shape) corresponding to each pyroelectric sensor so that the positions of the plurality of pyroelectric sensors of the human sensor unit 103 can be known by relative positions from the image processing apparatus 1. A schematic diagram in which the orientation of the electric sensor is also generated is generated. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus 1 adds the current setting of the pyroelectric sensor as a trapezoid background to the trapezoid of the schematic diagram, and also indicates the current detection state of the pyroelectric sensor by adding diagonal lines. The terminal device 2 displays the received human sensor screen D43 on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  By looking at the human sensor screen D43, the user 3 can grasp the human sensor detection range of the human sensor unit 103 from the relative position from the image processing apparatus 1, and is within the detection range. It can be understood that it is detected by the pyroelectric sensor. The human sensor screen D43 is periodically updated under the control of the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1.

  On the human sensor screen D43, the user 3 clicks a setting change button 433 in order to change the setting of the human sensor unit 103. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information transmits a setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4D) to the terminal apparatus 2. At this time, the user 3 performs an operation of spreading his hand as shown in FIG. 3C in order to examine the maximum range that can be detected when he / she moves, and the image processing apparatus 1 has a pyroelectric sensor. The setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4D) is generated reflecting the change in the current detection state. The terminal device 2 displays the received setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4D) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202. The setting change screen D44 is periodically updated under the control of the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1.

  By looking at the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 4D, the user 3 can know the maximum range that can be detected when the user 3 moves. The user 3 clicks an inward change button 444 in order to change the sensor direction of the human sensor unit 103. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1.

  The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information changes the direction of the pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor unit 103 so as to face downward, and reflects the human detection range and human detection state in that direction. A change screen D44 (FIG. 4E) is generated and transmitted to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 displays the received setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4E) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202. That is, the setting change screen D44 is updated under the control of the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 when the orientation of the pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor 103 is changed.

  By looking at the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 4E, the user 3 is detected even if the detection range of the human sensor unit 103 is narrowed and the sensor direction of the human sensor unit 103 is changed. You can see what is going on. The user 3 clicks the outward change button 454 in order to return the direction of the human sensor to the original direction. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1.

  The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information changes the direction of the pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor unit 103 to be more upward, and the setting reflects the human detection range and human detection state in that direction. A change screen D44 is generated and transmitted to the terminal device 2. At this time, the user 3 has returned to the original position, and another user 4 is approaching the image processing apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. A setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4F) is generated reflecting the change in the current detection state of the sensor. The terminal device 2 displays the received setting change screen D44 (FIG. 4F) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  By viewing the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 4F, the user 3 can confirm that the human sensor unit 103 detects the user 4 who has picked up the printed paper. First, the user 3 sets the trapezoid (humanity) corresponding to his / her position confirmed in the previous procedure in order to set the surroundings of the user so that the sleep recovery operation is not performed by detection by the human sensor unit 103. Click the detection range button 441) and the surrounding trapezoid (human detection range button 441) twice. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information changes the setting information related to the clicked trapezoid sleep recovery operation, and generates a setting change screen D44 (FIG. 5A) with a background trapezoid according to the new setting information. To do. The terminal device 2 displays the received setting change screen D44 (FIG. 5A) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202. That is, the setting change screen D44 is updated under the control of the CPU 105 of the image processing apparatus 1 when the sleep return operation setting of the pyroelectric sensor of the human sensor 103 is changed.

  By looking at the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 5A, the user 3 can confirm that his / her surroundings are set to not perform the sleep recovery operation by detection by the human sensor. Next, the user 3 moves to the current position of the user 4 in order to change the setting so that only the operation unit transitions to the operation mode when the user 4 who picks up the printed paper is detected by the human sensor. Click the corresponding trapezoid (human detection range button 441) and the trapezoid (human detection range button 441) corresponding to the position to reach there. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information changes the setting information related to the clicked trapezoid sleep recovery operation, and generates a setting change screen D44 (FIG. 5B) with a background trapezoid according to the new setting information. And transmitted to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 displays the received setting change screen D44 (FIG. 5B) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  By looking at the setting change screen D44 in FIG. 5B, the user 3 can confirm that the position of the user 4 has been set to shift to the operation mode only in the operation unit by detection by the human sensor. The user 3 confirms that the setting of the human sensor has been performed as desired, and clicks the decision button 443 to confirm this setting. The terminal device 2 transmits operation information of the user 3 to the image processing device 1. The image processing apparatus 1 that has received the operation information transmits a human sensor screen D43 (FIG. 5C) to the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 displays the received human sensor screen D43 (FIG. 5C) on the display device of the display / operation unit 202.

  As described above, the user 3 uses the remote operation from the terminal 22 to check the detection range of the human sensor unit 103 at the relative position from the image processing apparatus 1 and return from sleep by the human sensor unit 103. It is possible to confirm whether or not the operation is in a state suitable for the user's intention.

  In addition, the user 3 can check whether the place is included in the expected detection range by moving to a place where the user wants to detect and a place where he / she does not want to detect, and performing an operation of spreading his / her hand here. . For example, when a portable terminal such as a notebook PC, tablet PC, or smartphone is used as the terminal device 2, the user moves around the image processing apparatus 1 while holding the portable terminal, and sets the orientation of the human sensor unit 103. Sleep return operation setting can be performed. By setting in this way, the human sensor unit 103 can be set so that the image processing apparatus 1 operates more reliably as intended by the user. The setting of the human sensor 103 may be performed from the display / operation unit 104. In particular, when the display / operation unit 104 is detachable from the main body of the image processing apparatus 1, the same effect as the operation by the portable terminal is obtained.

  Furthermore, by setting the content of the sleep return operation by detection of the human sensor unit 103, it is possible to specify whether the human sensor is valid or invalid, and also to specify the operation when the human sensor detects a person. Can easily be adjusted to the detection range as expected. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the “operation unit only sleep return effective setting” is provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the operation unit, and the image processing apparatus is used when a specific human sensor detects a person. Other settings for returning one specific part may be provided. For example, a setting may be provided so that the display / operation unit 104 and the image reading unit 101 are returned when a specific human sensor detects a person.

  When the direction of the plurality of human sensors of the human sensor unit 103 is changed, the sleep recovery operation setting of each human sensor may be reset or may be held as it is. For example, in the image processing apparatus 1, the sleep recovery operation setting of each human sensor is configured to be held for each human sensor direction, and each human sensor corresponding to the direction is changed when the human sensor is changed in direction. It is configured to enable the sleep recovery operation setting. In the case of this setting, when the direction of the human sensor is restored, the sleep return operation setting of each human sensor is also configured to return to the setting previously set in the changed direction.

Further, the image processing apparatus 1 is configured to hold the setting of the direction of the human sensor and the sleep return operation setting of each human sensor independently, and each human sensor even if the direction of the human sensor is changed. The sleep return operation setting is configured to be the same as before the direction change.
Furthermore, you may comprise so that the sensitivity of each human sensitive sensor of the human sensitive sensor part 103 can also be changed.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the detection range of the human sensor can be confirmed at the relative position from the image processing apparatus, the control operation using the human sensor does not match the user's intention. The user can notice that

  In addition, since the current human sensor response status can be viewed on the remote control unit, you can move to a location you want to detect or do not want to detect and look at the remote control unit to detect the location that the user expects. You can check whether it is within or outside the range.

  Furthermore, since the user can specify the sleep recovery operation settings such as enabling / disabling the human sensor and returning only the operation unit by operating the remote operation unit at that location, the user can easily adjust the detection range as expected. be able to.

  Note that the detection range of the human sensor may be confirmed by detecting the human sensor by the human sensor unit 103, for example, by turning on an LED provided in the image processing apparatus. However, this method is not considered very effective because it is unclear or difficult to understand which human sensor of the human sensor unit 103 has detected. On the other hand, according to the present invention, it is possible to clearly recognize which human sensor is detected in the remote operation unit, and the user can surely set the human sensor.

  Therefore, the detection range of the human sensor can be easily confirmed visually by the user, and the direction of the human sensor and the operation setting when detected can be easily changed. For this reason, as expected by the user, the device detects and returns when the user who wants to use the device approaches the device, and conversely suppresses detection of a person who has just passed by the device and maintains sleep. Can be controlled.

As described above, according to the present invention, by confirming the detection range of the human sensor at the relative position from the image processing apparatus, the control operation using the human sensor is in a state that does not match the user's intention. This can be recognized, and the detection range of the human sensor can be adjusted to an appropriate state, and the control operation using the human sensor can be adjusted to the state intended by the user.
In this way, the detection range of the human sensor is displayed on the remote UI so that it can be recognized relative to the main body, and can be set on the spot, so that the detection range of the invisible human sensor can be confirmed. Adjustments can be made easily.

In this embodiment, the technique of the present invention is used for power control of the image processing apparatus, but may be used for power control of other electronic devices.
For example, the present invention may be applied to an information processing device that displays content according to a visitor and presents information to the visitor (for example, an information processing device for guidance purposes installed in a corporate lobby, a sightseeing spot, etc.) Good. In such an information processing device, when a visitor is detected, the information processing device is returned from the sleep state to the normal state, and control such as displaying predetermined contents (guidance, sightseeing information, etc.) is performed. Therefore, it is considered that the detection range of the human sensor has the same problem as that of the image processing apparatus shown in the above embodiment. By applying the present invention to such an information processing apparatus, the control operation using the human sensor does not match the user's intention by checking the detection range of the human sensor at the relative position from the information processing apparatus. Therefore, the detection range of the human sensor can be adjusted to an appropriate state, and the control operation using the human sensor can be adjusted to the state intended by the user. Also, in such an information processing apparatus, when a person is detected in a specific area (such as the front of the apparatus), the content is displayed after returning from sleep, but in other areas (such as the side of the apparatus) If it is detected, it is possible to perform only sleep recovery.

  Further, the present invention may be applied to a camera. Thus, when a person is detected in a specific area (for example, an area where monitoring is necessary) by a sensor provided in the camera, the camera returns to sleep and performs shooting and recording. When a person is detected, it is possible to perform only the camera return from sleep.

  The present invention is also applicable to home appliances that detect people and perform various operations, such as air conditioners, televisions, and lighting fixtures.
