Hereinafter, the configuration of the display screen of the mobile terminal 1 when the image forming apparatus 2 is instructed to execute scanning and the scan result is stored in the mobile terminal 1 will be described.

[Screen configuration of mobile terminal 1]
4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining each screen displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 1. FIG. 4 shows a basic screen configuration (basic screen) of the mobile terminal 1 and its transition state, and FIG. 5 shows an expanded screen configuration (extended screen) of the mobile terminal 1 and its transition state. Show. The basic screen is an example of a conventional screen configuration from when the scan execution is instructed until the scan result is stored in the mobile terminal 1. An extended screen is an example of a screen configuration that takes into account the reduction of the operation burden on the basic screen. In the following description, it is assumed that the image forming apparatus 2 is already ready to scan a document.

[Basic screen configuration]
In the mobile terminal 1, for example, a start screen 40 as shown in FIG. 4A is displayed on the display screen when an application software necessary for scanning a document is started. As shown in FIG. 4A, the start screen 40 is configured to include a scan button 41 and a page view 405 on which a scan result and the like are displayed. The scan button 41 is a button for instructing the start of document reading in the image forming apparatus 2. Since the page view 405 in FIG. 4A is before the reading of the document is started, a blank page is displayed.

  In the image forming apparatus 2, reading of a document is started (executed) when the user taps the scan button 41. While the reading is being executed, a progress bar indicating the progress of reading the original can be displayed on the start screen 40. In addition, as an aspect indicating that the document is being read, an image of a portion where the document is read may be sequentially displayed on the page view 405.

  After the document reading by the image forming apparatus 2 is completed, the start screen 40 transitions to a screen (view screen 42) as shown on the right side of FIG. The view screen 42 includes a save button 414, a mail button 415, and a print button 416 in addition to the scan button 41 described above. The page view 405 displays a scan image 46 that is a scan result received from the image forming apparatus 2.

The save button 414 is a button for instructing execution when the scan result is saved in, for example, the external memory 123. The mail button 415 is a button for instructing execution of the scan result when it is transmitted by mail. The print button 416 is a button for instructing execution when printing the scan result.
For example, when the user taps the save button 414, the screen sequentially changes from the view screen 42 to a save destination screen 430 as shown on the left side of FIG. The save destination screen 430 is a screen for designating a save destination of scan results, and is configured to select and designate a save destination displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 4B. Here, it is assumed that the user has selected the local folder 431 on the save destination screen 430.

After specifying the local folder 431 on the save destination screen 430, the screen sequentially changes from the save destination screen 430 to a save format screen 440 as shown on the right side of FIG. Depending on the storage destination selected or specified, screen transitions may continue further.
The save format screen 440 includes a file name 441, a file format 442, and a save button 443. The file name 441 is a field for inputting a file name when saving the scan result. For the input of the file name, for example, automatically assigned consecutive numbers can be used as they are, or changed to an arbitrary name. The file format 442 is a field for selecting a file format (for example, JPEG) when saving the scan result. After specifying the file name and file format, the user taps a save button 443 to save the scan result. Thereafter, in order to return the display content to the view screen 42, the user taps a “return” button (not shown) a plurality of times to change the screen in the reverse direction (422).

  In this way, on the basic screen, the user first taps the scan button 41 on the start screen 40, and then taps the save button 414 to save the read image (scan result) displayed on the view screen 42. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, both the save button 414 and the save button 443 are displayed after the scan is completed. That is, the displayed screen differs between the scan button 41 for instructing the start of scanning and the save button 414 (or the save button 443) for instructing to save the scan result. As described above, there is an order relationship for accepting an operation from the user between the buttons displayed on the respective screens.

Here is the definition of terms. A button for instructing job execution (for example, scanning) in the information processing system S like the scan button 41 shown in FIG. 4A is referred to as a do button 43 (first button). In addition, buttons such as a save button 414, a mail button 415, and a print button 416 shown in FIG. 4A are buttons for instructing the next operation for the job execution result (for example, the scan result). Button).
The user operation on the basic screen is to tap the do button 43 to instruct the image forming apparatus 2 to execute the job, and then tap the action button 44 to instruct the next operation for the job execution result. This is an ordered two-stage operation.
Hereinafter, an extended screen including buttons displayed in order to reduce the operation burden on the user when such a series of operations in two stages is repeated at a high frequency will be described.

[Screen configuration of extended screen]
As shown in FIG. 5, the start screen 40 in the extended screen includes a local button 501 in addition to the scan button 41. The local button 501 is an object that is displayed according to the frequency of operation when the scan result is repeatedly stored in the local folder 431 without changing various settings (for example, file format).
For example, it is assumed that a series of operations in which the file format of the scan result is JPEG, the automatically assigned consecutive numbers are directly used as file names, and saved in the local folder 431 is determined as a high-frequency operation. In this case, execution of the process specified by this high-frequency operation is associated with the local button 501.
Further, when a local button 501 is additionally displayed on the start screen 40, as shown in FIG. 5, a message 56 is displayed together with the display. The message 56 presents, for example, the reason why the local button 501 is added to the start screen 40 or how to use the button to the user. Specifically, the content is, for example, “A button for saving to a local folder has been added” shown in a balloon 508.

  After the user taps (Tap) the local button 501 on the start screen 40, the user then taps the scan button 41. As a result, a series of operations of instructing the image forming apparatus 2 to start reading a document and instructing the scan result to be stored in the local folder 431 is executed. Further, when saving the scan result, various settings associated with the local button 501 are applied. Therefore, it is possible to omit the display of the scan result, the display of the screen for designating the storage destination and the storage format, and the reception of the operation as shown in FIG. The start screen 40 is a view screen shown in FIG. 5 after an instruction to read an original by the image forming apparatus 2 and save the scan result in the local folder 431 by tapping the local button 501 and the scan button 41. Transition to 42. Alternatively, a progress view from the start of document reading to the completion of saving in the local folder 431 may be displayed on the start screen 40 when the local button 501 is tapped.

Thus, on the extended screen, the user first taps the local button 501 and then taps the scan button 41. As a result, the storage of the scan result in the local folder 431 and the start of document reading in the image forming apparatus 2 are instructed, and then the read image (scan result) is displayed on the view screen 42.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, each of the local button 501 and the scan button 41 is already displayed on the start screen 40 before instructing the start of document reading. Therefore, the user can tap only the scan button 41 when, for example, only document reading is desired. That is, there is no order relationship for accepting an operation from the user between the scan button 41 and the local button 501.
Note that, for example, execution of a series of operations from the start of document reading and the saving of scan results to the local folder 431 can be associated with the local button 501. In this case, the user can instruct from reading to saving of the document with a one-tap operation.

Here is the definition of terms. Like the local button 501 shown in FIG. 5, a button that is displayed according to the results of a series of operations (high frequency operations) repeatedly performed and associated with execution of processing specified by the series of operations is a perform button 55. (Third button).
The user's operation on the extended screen is an unordered one-step operation of tapping the perform button 55 and the do button 43 (for example, the scan button 41) displayed on the same screen. Note that after the operation associated with the perform button 55 is completed, the scan image 46 (scan result) is displayed on the view screen 42.

[Data structure of operation record]
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a data configuration of operation recording recorded by the recording unit 12. The presence / absence of a high-frequency operation is determined based on the contents of the operation record, and a series of operations determined as the high-frequency operation is associated with the perform button 55. In other words, if the user taps the perform button 55, the user has performed the same operation as when a series of operations determined as the high-frequency operation is performed.

  FIG. 6 shows a form 63 that defines rules for recording an operation, an operation record 60 that the recording unit 12 records in the external memory 123, and high-frequency operation data 65 that is stored based on the determination result of the frequency determination unit 13. Mainly shown. Hereinafter, these will be described in detail.

  A form 63 shown in FIG. 6 is an example of a display / input screen form. The fields of this form are given input rules, scope attributes, and the like. The input field 631 is provided with a required attribute indicating that the input is essential, and indicates that the email address input field cannot be left blank. The input field 632 is assigned an “everytime” attribute indicating that the input is indispensable every time, and indicates that the password needs to be input each time. An external attribute indicating external reference is assigned to the link field 633, which indicates that a link to a home page or the like in the mobile terminal 1 is an operation involving external reference.

In the operation record 60 shown in FIG. 6, the operation of the mobile terminal 1 that has received an operation from the user is recorded in time series. In the operation record 60, for example, information regarding display operation, job setting, job execution, and the like is recorded.
Information related to the action button 44 is recorded in the action operation 601 (611, 621), the action setting 612 (622), and the action execution 613 (623) of the operation record 60 shown in FIG.
The action content associated with the action button 44 is recorded in the action operation 601 of the action record 60. The recorded operations are tagged and follow the form attributes described above. In the action operation 601, an #update tag is recorded when an email address is input, an #everytime tag is recorded for a PIN that is mandatory every time, and an #external tag is recorded for an external link destination of the Share button. In the action setting 612 of the action record 60, various settings corresponding to the action content of the action operation 601 are recorded. In the action execution 613 of the operation record 60, the execution result of the operation of the action operation 601 is recorded.

  Information regarding the do button 43 is recorded in the do setting 602 and do execution 603 (615) of the operation record 60 shown in FIG. In the do setting 602, the operation content associated with the do button 43 is recorded. The execution result of the operation of the do setting 602 is recorded in the do execution 603. The do execution 603 also records job completion.

A job 681 and a job 682 of the operation record 60 shown in FIG. 6 are examples of operation records when the next process for the scan result is instructed, for example. The job 681 includes an action operation 611, an action setting 612, and an action execution 613. The job 682 includes an action operation 621, an action setting 622, and an action execution 623.
In the illustrated job 681, the job is completed after the update operation is performed, whereas in the job 682, the job is completed without performing the update operation. Specifically, the action setting 612 of the job 681 and the action setting 622 of the job 682 are the same setting. The action operation 611 of the job 681 has an update operation (#update), and the action operation 621 does not have it. As described above, the executed job may be completed without being updated.
The determined position 614 of the operation record 60 is a record position for distinguishing a job included in the determination target from a most recent determination by the frequency determination unit 13 from a job that is not yet a determination target.

  The frequency determination unit 13 refers to the operation record 60 and the determined position 614 and determines a series of repeated operations as a high-frequency operation. Specifically, when the operation content indicated by the job 681 and the operation content indicated by the job 682 are the same, for example, the frequency determination unit 13 determines that a series of operations in this operation is a high-frequency operation. The determination condition 643 can be arbitrarily set in advance. The determination condition 643 includes, for example, the case where the same operation is repeated twice as in jobs 681 and 682, the number of times of continuous recording (continuous execution number), the total number of times (execution number), and acceptance of a series of operations. The number of screen transitions at the time. Furthermore, the OR condition, AND condition, etc. can be set in any combination, and the number of operations per execution, the number of screens, the number of commands, etc. can be set in addition to the conditions.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the frequency determination unit 13 stores the content of the process (operation) specified by the series of operations determined as the high frequency operation in the external memory 123 as the high frequency operation data 65. The high-frequency operation data 65 shown in FIG. 6 includes menu data 66, message data 67, operation records 68, and setting records 69. The menu data 66 is an area in which the title of the high-frequency operation data 65 is stored. The message data 67 is an area in which a message indicating the feature of the high-frequency operation data 65, that is, the operation content is stored. The operation record 68 is an area for storing the content (operation content) of the action operation 611 of the job 681, for example. The setting record 69 is an area for storing the contents (setting contents) of the action setting 612 of the job 681, for example. That is, the operation record 68 and the setting record 69 store the operation contents of the user and various setting values received by the operation, respectively.
Note that a plurality of high-frequency operation data can be held as in the high-frequency operation data 660 shown in FIG. In addition, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, a record is used, but it goes without saying that it can also be constructed as data having a hierarchical document structure format.

[Processing procedure of mobile terminal 1]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the mobile terminal 1. FIG. 7 shows an overall processing flow of the mobile terminal 1. It is assumed that each component device of the information processing system S has already been activated and that the image forming apparatus 2 is ready to scan a document.

  The control unit 11 displays the start screen 40 via the display unit 14 (S710). Further, the control unit 11 starts operation recording of the mobile terminal 1 via the recording unit 12 (S760). Note that the processing in step S760 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the do button on the start screen 40 has been selected (tapped) (S711). If the do button has been selected (S711: Yes), the process proceeds to step S712. Otherwise (S711: No), the process returns to step S710.
The control unit 11 performs an operation associated with the do button via the execution unit 15 (S712). Here, the operation associated with the do button will be described assuming that the image forming apparatus 2 issues a job for instructing reading of a document.

  The control unit 11 receives image data that is a scan result of the image forming apparatus 2 via the communication unit 38 (S713). Note that the processing in step S713 for receiving image data will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The received image data is stored in the external memory 123 or the like.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the perform button has been selected (S714), and if selected (S714: Yes), the control unit 11 performs an operation associated with the perform button via the execution unit 15. Execute (S790). Note that the processing in step S790 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
Otherwise (S714: No), the control unit 11 displays the scan result on the view screen 42 via the display unit 14 (S730).

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the action button has been selected (S731). If the action button has been selected (S731: Yes), the process proceeds to step S732. Otherwise (S731: No), the process returns to step S730. In this case, the description will proceed assuming that the action button is the save button 414.

  The control unit 11 displays a setting screen (for example, the save destination screen 430) necessary for the operation associated with the action button via the display unit 14 (S732). For example, the setting screens are sequentially displayed for the number of setting screens (N) necessary for execution of processing such as transition from the storage destination screen 430 to the storage format screen 440, and each receives an operation from the user. Thereafter, the control unit 11 performs an operation (scan result storage) associated with the action button via the execution unit 15 (S733).

  When a “return” button (not shown) is selected, the control unit 11 changes the screen in the reverse direction from the current screen display to the previous screen display. When the same number of return buttons as the set screen number (N) is selected (N times) (S736), the control unit 11 returns to the process of step S730 and displays the view screen 42 again.

  The control unit 11 determines the presence / absence of a high-frequency operation in the mobile terminal 1 via the frequency determination unit 13 (S770). Note that the processing in step S770 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The control unit 11 displays the perform button 55 at a predetermined position on the start screen 40 via the display unit 14 (S780). Note that the processing in step S780 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

[Operation record processing procedure]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the process of step S760 for recording the operation of the mobile terminal 1. Specifically, based on an instruction from the control unit 11, the recording unit 12 mainly performs an operation of the mobile terminal 1, for example, an operation from the user, various settings received by the operation, and a process instructed by these operations. This is a process of recording an execution result or the like in the external memory 123 or the like.

  The control unit 11 starts operation recording of the mobile terminal 1 via the recording unit 12 (FIG. 7: S760). The recording unit 12 records the operation received by the mobile terminal 1 in the RAM 112 (S811). The recording unit 12 determines whether or not the recorded operation is a change input operation (S812). The change input is, for example, an operation of changing the consecutive numbers automatically assigned in the above-described file name input to arbitrary names without using the names as they are. When it is determined that the input is a change input (S812: Yes), the recording unit 12 records, for example, that the file name has been changed in the RAM 112 (S813). Otherwise (S812: No), the process proceeds to step S816.

  The recording unit 12 determines whether or not the recorded operation is an operation that requires an input every time, for example, a password input (S814). When it is determined that the input is indispensable every time (S814: Yes), the recording unit 12 records that the input is indispensable in the RAM 112 (S815). Otherwise (S814: No), the process proceeds to step S816.

The recording unit 12 determines whether or not the recorded operation is an operation accompanied by an external reference (External App operation) (S816). If it is determined that the operation involves an operation outside App (S816: Yes), the recording unit 12 records that the operation involves an operation outside App in the RAM 112 (S817). Otherwise (S816: No), the process proceeds to step S818.
The recording unit 12 outputs the operation recorded in the RAM 112 to the operation record 60 of the external memory 123 (S818). The recording unit 12 outputs various settings recorded in the RAM 112 to the external memory 123 (S819). The recording unit 12 outputs the execution result recorded in the RAM 112 to the external memory 123 (S820). In this way, the operation of the mobile terminal 1 is recorded.

[Frequency judgment processing procedure]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process of step S770 in which the frequency determination unit 13 determines the presence or absence of a high-frequency operation. Specifically, a series of operations determined as high-frequency operations mainly by the frequency determination unit 13 based on instructions from the control unit 11 are stored in the external memory 123 as high-frequency operation data.

  The control unit 11 starts determining whether or not there is a high-frequency operation in the mobile terminal 1 via the frequency determination unit 13 (FIG. 7: S770). The frequency determination unit 13 acquires information specifying the storage area (external memory 123) in which the determination target data necessary for frequency determination is recorded from the control unit 11 (S861). Note that the data to be determined includes the operation record 60 recorded in the external memory 123, the determined position 614, the high-frequency operation data 660 already stored at the present time, and the like. Further, the description will be made assuming that the determination target data in the operation record 60 is data in units of jobs such as jobs 681 and 682, for example.

The frequency determination unit 13 acquires determination target data (S862). If the determination target data cannot be specified from the processing result in step S861, the process ends.
If there is a job that includes the required input and the non-App operation every time in the acquired determination target data, the frequency determination unit 13 excludes the job from the determination target data (S863).

The frequency determination unit 13 specifies a job that satisfies the determination condition from the determination target data (S864). The description is given by taking as an example a case where the contents of the action operation, action setting, and action execution of each job are common, and that these jobs are continuously executed and completed. Proceed.
When the job satisfying the determination condition can be identified (S864: Yes), the frequency determination unit 13 starts generating the high-frequency operation data (65) (S865). Otherwise (S864: No), the process proceeds to step S874.

The frequency determination unit 13 stores the specified job title in the menu data 66 of the high-frequency operation data 65 (S866). That is, the operation content common to the specified job (for example, saved in a local folder) is written out as a menu title.
The frequency determination unit 13 generates a message to be displayed as the message 56 and stores the message in the message data 67 of the high-frequency operation data (S867). The message to be generated is, for example, the reason why the local button 501 is added in addition to the above-described title, or how to use the button.
The frequency determination unit 13 stores the content of the action operation of the identified job in the operation record 68 of the high-frequency operation data (S868). The frequency determination unit 13 stores the specified action setting content in the high-frequency operation data setting record 69 (S869).

  The frequency determination unit 13 determines whether or not the generated high-frequency operation data 65 overlaps with any of the high-frequency operation data 660 stored in the external memory 123 (S870). If it is determined that they overlap (S870: Yes), the process proceeds to step S875. If not (S870: No), the frequency determination unit 13 records the generated high-frequency operation data 65 in the external memory 123 (S871).

  The frequency determination unit 13 determines whether there is other high-frequency operation data having the same operation content (operation record 68) as the high-frequency operation data 65 recorded in the external memory 123 (S872). If it is determined that there is no other relevant high-frequency data (S872: No), the process proceeds to step S875. If not (S872: Yes), the frequency determination unit 13 deletes the corresponding other high-frequency operation data from the external memory 123 (S873). Thereby, the high-frequency operation data corresponding to the operation from the latest user is maintained, and other high-frequency operation data other than that, that is, the past high-frequency operation data having the same operation content but different setting contents is deleted.

  The frequency determination unit 13 determines whether or not the current high-frequency motion data satisfies the determination condition 643 (S874). When it determines with satisfy | filling (S874: Yes), it progresses to the process of step S875. Otherwise (S874: No), the frequency determination unit 13 deletes the corresponding current high-frequency operation data from the external memory 123 (S873). Note that the current high-frequency operation data is high-frequency operation data associated with the perform button 55 displayed on the start screen 40 at the time of determination, for example. Thereby, the high-frequency operation data that does not correspond to the operation from the latest user is deleted, and the operation of the perform button 55 that may be associated with a series of operations not intended by the user can be suppressed. .

[Perform button display processing procedure]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the process of step S780 for displaying the perform button 55 on the start screen 40. Specifically, based on an instruction from the control unit 11, the display unit 14 mainly displays a perform button 55 associated with the high-frequency operation data recorded in the external memory 123. Note that an explanation will be given assuming that an icon (object) representing the perform button 55 displayed at a predetermined position on the start screen 40 is already included in the mobile terminal 1.

  The control unit 11 starts displaying the perform button 55 at a predetermined position on the start screen 40 via the display unit 14 (FIG. 7: S780). The control unit 11 determines whether or not high-frequency operation data is recorded in the external memory 123 (S911). When the high-frequency operation data is recorded (S911: Yes), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the operation associated with the do button (do operation) is executable in the mobile terminal 1. (S912). If not (S911: No), the process is terminated. The description will be made assuming that the high-frequency operation data 65 is recorded in the external memory 123.

The control unit 11 assigns the high-frequency operation data 65 to the perform button 55 (S913). That is, the high-frequency operation data 65 is associated as a job to be executed when the user selects the perform button 55 displayed on the start screen 40.
The control unit 11 acquires the menu data 66 of the high-frequency operation data 65 associated with the perform button 55 (S914), and the menu data 66 of the menu data 66 that acquired the perform button 55 on the start screen 40 via the display unit 14 is acquired. It is displayed together with the contents (S915).

  The control unit 11 determines whether the perform button 55 displayed on the start screen 40 in the process of step S915 is a new display or an updated display (S916). If it is determined that the display is new / updated (S916: Yes), the process proceeds to step S917. If not (S916: No), the process is terminated. The new display is a case where a local button 501 is additionally displayed on the start screen 40, for example. The updated display is, for example, a case where the high-frequency operation data assigned to the perform button 55 is changed and the changed perform button 55 is newly displayed.

  The control unit 11 starts displaying a message (for example, message 56 shown in FIG. 5) on the start screen 40 via the display unit 14 (S917). The control unit 11 acquires the message stored in the message data 67 of the high-frequency operation data (65) (S918), and displays the message via the display unit 14 (S919).

[Perform button execution procedure]
FIG. 11A is a flowchart showing a specific example of the process in step S790 for executing the operation associated with the perform button 55. Specifically, based on an instruction from the control unit 11, the execution unit 15 mainly executes an operation associated with the perform button 55.

The control unit 11 starts executing the operation associated with the perform button 55 via the execution unit 15 (FIG. 7: S90). The execution unit 15 displays a progress message (progress bar) indicating the progress status of the operation to be executed via the display unit 14 (S961). The progress message (progress bar) at the beginning of the display indicates that the progress status is “0 (zero)”, and the display content changes according to the progress.
The execution unit 15 acquires the high-frequency operation data 65 associated with the perform button 55 (S962), and executes the operation (operation record 68, setting record 69) indicated by the acquired high-frequency operation data 65 (S963). .

[Image data reception processing procedure]
FIG. 11B is a flowchart illustrating a specific example of the process in step S713 for receiving image data that is a scan result of the image forming apparatus 2.

The control unit 11 starts receiving image data that is a scan result of the image forming apparatus 2 (FIG. 7: S713). The control unit 11 connects to the image forming apparatus 2 via the communication unit 38 (S981), and instructs the mobile terminal 1 to transmit image data as a scan result (S982).
The control unit 11 receives the image data transmitted from the image forming apparatus 2 via the communication unit 38 and stores it in the external memory 123 (S983).

As described above, in the mobile terminal 1 of the present embodiment, the operation received by the mobile terminal 1 is recorded by the recording unit 12, and a series of operations repeated frequently among the operations recorded by the frequency determination unit 13. Is determined as a high-frequency operation, and high-frequency operation data is generated. The operation indicated by the high-frequency operation data is associated with the perform button 55, and the perform button 55 is displayed on the start screen 40 so as to be selectable. Accordingly, the user can select the perform button 55 to instruct the processing without repeatedly performing the selection operation every time, for example, when instructing to save the scan result, or the operation instructing the same content. Can do.
In addition, a user interface that reduces the burden on the user's operation input and considers convenience by suppressing the occurrence of operations that require more than two ordered steps, such as so-called cyclic operations, and operations that require multiple screen transitions. can do.

[Second Embodiment]
In the present embodiment, a mobile terminal having an extended screen different from the extended screen of the mobile terminal 1 described in FIG. 5 will be described. In addition, about the same structure as the structure demonstrated in 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, the third button on the extended screen (perform button 55 shown in FIG. 5) accepts a tap operation, but the third button on the extended screen of the present embodiment is different in that it accepts a flick operation. .

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of an extended screen included in the mobile terminal according to the present embodiment.
A start screen 40 shown in FIG. 12A includes a scan button 41.
On the start screen 40, a marker 1001 is displayed on the scan button 41 instead of displaying a third button (perform button 55 shown in FIG. 5) that is displayed according to the results of a series of repeated operations. That is, by changing the display state of the scan button 41, the user is notified that the third button can be selected. Further, when the display state is changed by the scan button 41 and the marker 1001 is additionally displayed, the message 56 is displayed together with the display. The message 56 presents, for example, the reason why the marker 1001 is added or how to use the marker 1001 to the user.

When the user flicks the scan button 41 to which the marker 1001 is added, third buttons (perform buttons) associated with different operations such as the buttons 1011 and 1012 are displayed.
When the user flicks any of the buttons 1011 and 1012, the scan button 41 is controlled as selected by the user in conjunction with the selection. That is, for example, if the button 1011 is flicked, it is possible to instruct the image forming apparatus 2 to start reading a document and to save the scan result in the local folder 431 in the JPEG format. If the button 1012 is selected by flicking, it is possible to instruct the image forming apparatus 2 to start reading an original and to send a mail to the predetermined mail address in the JPEG format. Thus, the burden on the user's operation can be reduced and the convenience can be further improved.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 12B, the scan button 41 with the marker 1001 added may be displayed on the view screen 42. As described above, in the extended screen of the mobile terminal according to the present embodiment, the perform button can be displayed on the screen as necessary. Therefore, the display area of the display screen can be effectively used.

[Modification]
Hereinafter, a mobile terminal configured to have a screen transition of a pattern different from the transition of each screen described in FIG. 4 will be described. In addition, the same thing as the already demonstrated structure function attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits the description.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining screen transition in a mobile terminal according to a modification.
In the mobile terminal according to the present embodiment, a start screen 50 as shown in FIG. The start screen 50 includes an action button including a save button 414 and a scan button which is a do button. For example, when the user taps the save button 414, the screen changes from the view screen 42 to a save destination screen 430 as shown in FIG. The screen transitions so far are as already described in FIG.

When the local folder 431 is selected on the save destination screen 430, the screen changes from the save destination screen 430 to a save format screen 1125 as shown in FIG. Depending on the storage destination selected or specified, screen transitions may continue further.
On the save format screen 1125, a scan button 1130 is displayed as shown in FIG. When the user taps the scan button 1130 (Tap), the image forming apparatus 2 starts (executes) reading of the document, and the scan result is stored in the local folder 431. The start screen 50 transitions to the view screen 42 after completing these operations.
That is, instead of an action button such as the save button 414, a do button (for example, a scan button 1130) is arranged on the final screen of a series of operations for instructing the next operation for a job result (for example, a scan result). This eliminates the need for the user to tap a “return” button (not shown) a plurality of times in order to return the display content to the view screen 42 and to change the screen in the opposite direction.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure for screen transition as described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, the characteristic part related to the screen transition will be mainly described.
The control unit 11 determines whether or not the action button has been selected (S1210), and if selected (S1210: Yes), the control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step S1211. If not (S1210: No), it waits until the action button is selected. In this case, the description will proceed assuming that the action button is the save button 414.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the do button has been selected (S1211). The fact that the do button has been selected indicates that the operation associated with the do button has been executed via the execution unit 15.
If the do button has already been selected (S1211: Yes), the control unit 11 proceeds to the process of step S1216. Otherwise (S1211: No), the control unit 11 displays a setting screen (for example, a storage destination screen 430) necessary for the operation associated with the action button via the display unit. This setting screen is sequentially displayed for the number of setting screens (N) necessary for execution of processing such as transition from the save destination screen 430 to the save format screen 1125, and accepts an operation from the user in each. Further, the control unit 11 displays a do button on the Nth setting screen (S732).

  The control unit 11 executes an operation associated with the do button via the execution unit 15 when the do button is selected (S1213). And the control part 11 performs the operation | movement matched with the action button via the execution part 15 (S1214). Thereafter, the control unit 11 displays the view screen 42 via the display unit 14 (S1215).

  The control unit 11 displays a setting screen (number of setting screens N) necessary for the operation associated with the action button via the display unit 14 (S1216). After receiving an operation from the user on each setting screen, the control unit 11 performs an operation associated with the action button via the execution unit 15 (S1217). When a “return” button (not shown) is selected, the control unit 11 changes the screen in the reverse direction from the current screen display to the previous screen display. When the same number of return buttons as the set screen number (N) is selected (N times) (S1218), the control unit 11 displays the view screen 42 via the display unit 14 (S1215).
