  As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 50 mainly includes a display unit 53, an operation unit 54, a communication unit 55, a CPU 61, a memory 62, and a communication bus 63. The display unit 53, communication unit 55, CPU 61, memory 62, and communication bus 63 included in the terminal device 50 are the same as the display unit 23, communication unit 25, CPU 31, memory 32, and communication bus 33 included in the multifunction device 10. Because of this configuration, the description is omitted. The CPU 61 and the memory 62 constitute an example of a control unit. Although the specific example of the terminal device 50 is not specifically limited, For example, they are a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, or PC.

  The display unit 53 includes a display surface that displays various screens. For example, the display surface may indicate a plate-shaped transparent member (for example, a glass plate) exposed on the surface of the terminal device 50. “Display various screens on the display surface” refers to a state where the screen displayed by the display unit 53 is visible to the user through the display surface.

  The operation unit 54 is an input interface that accepts various operations by the user. The operation unit 54 according to the present embodiment includes a film-like pressure sensor 54 </ b> A and a position sensor 54 </ b> B superimposed on the display surface of the display unit 53. That is, the display unit 23 is configured as a touch panel display. The pressure sensor 54 </ b> A and the position sensor 54 </ b> B are an example of a touch sensor that outputs an operation signal corresponding to a touch operation on the glass plate exposed on the display surface of the display unit 53, that is, the surface of the terminal device 50.

  The pressure sensor 54A outputs to the CPU 61 a pressure signal corresponding to the pressure applied to the display surface by the input medium. The pressure sensor 54A outputs a first pressure signal in response to the display surface being pressed with a pressing force less than the first pressure. The pressure sensor 54A outputs a second pressure signal in response to the display surface being pressed with a pressing force that is equal to or higher than the first pressure and lower than the second pressure. Furthermore, the pressure sensor 54A outputs a third pressure signal in response to the display surface being pressed with a pressing force equal to or higher than the second pressure. The second pressure is greater than the first pressure. Alternatively, the pressure sensor 54A may output a pressure signal indicating the pressure value applied to the display surface to the CPU 61. In this case, the CPU 61 compares the pressure value indicated by the pressure signal with the threshold value.

  The position sensor 54B outputs a position signal corresponding to the position on the display surface to which pressure is applied by the input medium to the CPU 61. The position signal indicates, for example, coordinates (x, y) on the xy plane in which the upper left corner of the display surface is the origin, the right direction is the positive direction of the x axis, and the downward direction is the positive direction of the y axis. Further, the position sensor 54B repeatedly outputs a position signal every predetermined detection period (for example, 10 msec) when the touch operation on the display surface is continuously performed.

  Note that “touch” in this specification includes all operations for bringing an input medium into contact with a display surface. That is, in addition to the above-described tap operation, peak operation, pop operation, slide operation, and flick operation described later, a long touch operation, a pinch-in operation, a pinch-out operation, and the like are examples of touch operations. The peak operation is an example of the first operation, the pop operation is an example of the second operation, the slide operation or the flick operation is an example of the third operation, and the tap operation is an example of the fourth operation.

  More specifically, the operation unit 54 detects that a tap operation has been performed on the position indicated by the position signal output from the position sensor 54B in response to the output of the first pressure signal from the pressure sensor 54A. To do. In response to the output of the second pressure signal from the pressure sensor 54A, the operation unit 54 detects that the peak operation for the position indicated by the position signal output from the position sensor 54B has been executed. In response to the output of the third pressure signal from the pressure sensor 54A, the operation unit 54 detects that a pop operation has been performed on the position indicated by the position signal output from the position sensor 54B. The operation unit 54 detects that a slide operation or a flick operation has been executed in response to a continuous change in the position indicated by the position signal output from the position sensor 54B.

  The area 62B can store the designated device ID as shown in FIG. 2A, for example. The designated device ID is device identification information for identifying an image processing device designated by the user (hereinafter referred to as “designated device”). For example, the designated device ID is not stored in the area 62B when the terminal program 65 is installed, but is stored in the area 62B by the terminal program 65 in S13, S46, and the like described later. In addition, the area 62B includes communication information (for example, an IP address, a MAC address, an SSID, and the like) that identifies a designated device in the communication network 101, an operation ID that identifies an operation that can be performed by the designated device, and a designated device ID. You may memorize | store further by matching.

  In addition, the area 62B can store condition information indicating execution conditions of the printing operation as shown in FIG. 2B, for example. For example, the condition information is not stored in the area 62B when the terminal program 65 is installed, but is stored in the area 62B by the terminal program 65 in S46, S56, S62, and the like. The condition information according to the present embodiment includes tray information, color information, recording surface information, and layout information. Further, the above-described designation device ID may be included in the condition information. Furthermore, the area 62B may further store condition information indicating execution conditions of the scan operation, the FAX transmission operation, and the FAX reception operation.

  The tray information is information for specifying a tray that is a sheet supply source of a sheet on which an image is recorded by a printing operation. The color information is information indicating a color (for example, “monochrome”, “color”) used for the printing operation. The recording surface information is information indicating the surface (for example, “single side”, “double side”) of the sheet on which the image is recorded. The layout information is information indicating the number N (for example, “no aggregation”, “2 in 1”, “4 in 1”, etc.) of images to be recorded in one sheet. That is, the condition information shown in FIG. 2B indicates that two images are collected and recorded in color on one side of the sheet stored in the tray 1. Tray information, color information, recording surface information, and layout information are examples of items included in the condition information.

  Although not shown, a data folder may be provided in the area 62B. For example, photo data, document data, presentation data, spreadsheet data, and the like may be stored in the data folder. Note that the data stored in the data folder includes one or more page data. The page data is data indicating an image recorded on one sheet when the layout information is “no aggregation”. Furthermore, although illustration is omitted, the area 62B stores information (for example, a continuation flag) necessary for processing executed by the terminal program 65.

  The operation of the system 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The flowchart in this specification basically shows the processing of the CPUs 31 and 61 in accordance with the instructions described in the program. That is, processes such as “judgment”, “extraction”, “calculation”, “selection”, and “control” in the following description represent processes of the CPUs 31 and 61. The processing by the CPU 61 includes hardware control via the OS 64. Further, “data” in this specification is represented by a bit string readable by a computer. Data having substantially the same semantic content but different formats are handled as the same data. The same applies to “information” in this specification.

  The terminal program 65 of the terminal device 50 executes the main process shown in FIG. 3 in response to being activated by the user. First, the terminal program 65 displays the main screen shown in FIG. 7A on the display unit 53 (S11). The main screen includes operation icons 111, 112, 113, 114, a status icon 115, and a device icon 116. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the main screen through the operation unit 54 (S12).

  The operation icon 111 corresponds to a print operation, the operation icon 112 corresponds to a scan operation, the operation icon 113 corresponds to a copy operation, and the operation icon 114 corresponds to a FAX transmission operation and a FAX reception operation. The status icon 115 corresponds to an instruction to display a status screen indicating the state of the designated device. The device icon 116 corresponds to an instruction to switch the designated device. In addition, the device icon 116 shown in FIG. 7A describes the designated device ID “MFP-A” stored in the area 62B.

  Next, the terminal program 65 accepts a user operation for designating or changing a designated device through the operation unit 54 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the device icon 116 (S12: device icon). (S13). More specifically, the terminal program 65 searches for an image processing device connected to the communication network 101, displays a list of found image processing devices on the display unit 53, and selects one of the displayed image processing devices. The designated user operation is accepted through the operation unit 54, and the device ID of the designated image processing device is stored in the region 62B as the designated device ID. And the terminal program 65 performs the process after S11 again. When the designated device is changed in S13, a new designated device ID is described in the device icon 116 on the main screen.

  Next, the terminal program 65 displays the status screen shown in FIG. 7B on the display unit 53 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the status icon 115 (S12: status icon). (S14). The status screen includes a designated device ID, a communication state, a remaining sheet amount, a remaining ink amount, and an [OK] icon 121. More specifically, the terminal program 65 transmits transmission request information to the multifunction device 10 that is the designated device through the communication unit 55, and receives status information transmitted from the multifunction device 10 as a response to the transmission request information through the communication unit 55. To do. Then, the terminal program 65 displays the status of the multifunction machine 10 indicated by the received status information on the status screen.

  The device ID is a designated device ID stored in the area 62B. The communication status indicates whether or not communication with the designated device is possible. For example, when the status information is received, “online” is displayed, and when the status information is not received, “offline” is displayed. The Further, since status information is not received when offline, only the item names of the remaining sheet amount and remaining ink amount are displayed on the status screen. The remaining sheet capacity is the remaining sheet capacity indicated by the sheet information included in the status information. The ink remaining amount is the remaining amount of ink indicated by the ink information included in the status information. Then, in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [OK] icon 121, the terminal program 65 executes the processes after S11 again.

  Next, the terminal program 65 determines the printing operation as the designated operation in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the operation icon 111 (S12: print icon), for example. Hereinafter, the processing after step S15 will be described on the assumption that the printing operation is determined as the designated operation. However, when another operation is determined as the designated operation, processing corresponding to each operation is executed. . And the terminal program 65 performs a data selection process (S15). The data selection process is a process that allows the user to select data to be printed (hereinafter referred to as “designated data”). Details of the data selection process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the terminal program 65 displays the data selection screen shown in FIG. 8A on the display unit 53 (S21). The process of step S21 is an example of a first display process. The data selection screen includes a plurality of data icons 131, 132, and 133. The data icons 131 to 133 are examples of data objects corresponding to various data stored in a data folder or various data stored in a server (not shown) on the Internet, for example. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to a data selection screen through the operation part 54 (S22).

  Next, the terminal program 65 executes a 3D touch process in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a peak operation for the position of the data icon 133 (S22: peak) (S23). The 3D touch refers to a function that can assign different processes to touch operations with different pressing forces (for example, tap operation, peak operation, pop operation). The 3D touch process is a process of displaying various information and receiving various operations according to the type of touch operation on the icon. The details of the 3D touch process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the terminal program 65 transmits transmission request information to the multifunction device 10 that is a designated device through the communication unit 55, and receives status information transmitted from the multifunction device 10 as a response to the transmission request information through the communication unit 55 (S41). ). Next, the terminal program 65 displays the condition notification screen shown in FIG. 8B on the display unit 53 (S42). The condition notification screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the data selection screen. The process of S41 is an example of a reception process, and the process of S42 is an example of a second display process. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to a condition alerting | reporting screen through the operation part 54 (S43).

  The condition notification screen is a screen for notifying the execution condition of the printing operation indicated by the condition information stored in the area 62B. In addition, the terminal program 65 executes execution that inhibits execution of the printing operation in the state indicated by the status information received in S41 among the plurality of execution conditions indicated by the condition information stored in the area 62B on the condition notification screen. [X] image 141 is displayed in association with a condition (hereinafter referred to as “inhibition condition”). On the other hand, when there is no inhibition condition, the [×] image 141 is not displayed on the condition notification screen.

  As an example, in response to the remaining amount of cyan ink indicated by the ink information included in the status information being less than a threshold value (for example, 10%), as illustrated in FIG. It is determined that the color information “color” is an inhibition condition, and the [×] image 141 is displayed in association with the inhibition condition. The same applies when the remaining amount of magenta ink or yellow ink is less than the threshold value. As another example, the terminal program 65 determines that the tray information “tray 1” is an obstacle condition when the remaining amount of the sheet in the tray 1 indicated by the sheet information included in the status information is 0%. .

  [X] Displaying the image 141 is an example of an explicit inhibition condition. However, the specific method of clearly indicating the inhibition condition is not limited to this. As an example, the terminal program 65 may highlight the inhibition condition. As another example, the terminal program 65 may display the inhibition condition above other execution conditions on the condition notification screen. As yet another example, the terminal program 65 may display only the inhibition conditions on the condition notification screen and hide the execution conditions that are not inhibition conditions.

  Next, the terminal program 65 displays the condition change screen shown in FIG. 9A in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S22 has changed to a slide operation (S43: slide). Then, it is displayed on the display unit 53 instead of the condition notification screen (S44). The condition change screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window displayed so as to overlap the data selection screen. The process of S44 is an example of a third display process. The operation unit 54 performs peak operation in response to a continuous change in the position indicated by the position signal output from the position sensor 54B while the second pressure signal is output from the pressure sensor 54A. Detects a change to a slide operation. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to a condition change screen through the operation part 54 (S45).

  The condition change screen is a screen that prompts the change of the inhibition condition. The condition change screen shown in FIG. 9A includes a message “Do you want to change the color setting to monochrome?”, A [YES] icon 142, and a [NO] icon 143. That is, the condition change screen shown in FIG. 9A is a screen that prompts the user to change the color information of the condition information stored in the area 62B from “color” to “monochrome”. Note that the content displayed on the condition change screen differs depending on which execution condition becomes the inhibition condition.

  Next, the terminal program 65 is stored in the area 62B with the content prompted through the condition change screen in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [YES] icon 142 (S45: Yes). The updated condition information is updated (S46). That is, the terminal program 65 according to the present embodiment changes the color information from “color” to “monochrome” in the condition information stored in the area 62B. The tap operation on [YES] icon 142 is an example of a touch operation that instructs to change the execution condition. On the other hand, the terminal program 65 skips the process of S46 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [NO] icon 143 (S45: No).

  Next, the terminal program 65 determines whether or not the designation device in the state indicated by the status information received in S41 can execute the printing operation according to the execution condition indicated by the condition information stored in the area 62B. (S47). When the execution condition is changed in S46, the terminal program 65 determines whether or not the designated device can execute the printing operation according to the changed execution condition. The process of S47 is an example of a first determination process.

  The terminal program 65 is included in the received status information, for example, in step S47, whether the status information is received in S41, whether the ink remaining amount indicated by the ink information included in the received status information is greater than or equal to a threshold value. It may be determined whether or not the remaining amount of the sheet indicated by the sheet information is greater than 0%. Further, the terminal program 65 may compare only the black ink remaining amount with the threshold value in the case of color information “monochrome” stored in the area 62B, and the ink remaining amount of all colors in the color information “color”. What is necessary is just to compare with a threshold value.

  Then, the terminal program 65 determines that the designated device can execute the printing operation in response to satisfying all the above-described conditions (S47: Yes). Then, the terminal program 65 sets the first value “ON” in the continuation flag (S48), and ends the 3D touch process. On the other hand, the terminal program 65 determines that the designated device cannot perform the printing operation in response to not satisfying at least one of the above-described conditions (S47: No). Then, the terminal program 65 sets the second value “OFF” in the continuation flag (S49), and ends the 3D touch process.

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 does not execute the processing of S44 to S46, but after S47 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S22 has changed to a pop operation (S43: Pop). Execute the process. In addition, when a slide operation is performed when there is no inhibition condition, the processing of S44 to S46 may be skipped. Furthermore, the terminal program 65 executes the processing of S49 without executing the processing of S44 to S48 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the input medium during peak operation has been separated from the display surface (S43: separation). Execute the process.

  Next, returning to FIG. 4A, the terminal program 65 determines the set value of the continuation flag (S24). When the terminal program 65 determines that the first value “ON” is set in the continuation flag (S24: ON), the data “presentation” corresponding to the data icon 133 at the position where the peak operation is detected is determined. .PPT "is determined as the designated data (S25). That is, the terminal program 65 temporarily stores the data ID of the data “presentation.PPT” associated with the data icon 133 in the area 62B as the specified data ID. The process of S25 is an example of a determination process.

  On the other hand, in response to determining that the second value “OFF” is set in the continuation flag (S24: OFF), the terminal program 65 executes the processing subsequent to S21 again. That is, the terminal program 65 displays the data selection screen on the display unit 53 without proceeding to the processing after S25 by hiding the screen displayed in S42 and S44. At this time, the terminal program 65 may cause the display unit 53 to display a message such as “The printing operation for the specified data cannot be executed”. Further, the terminal program 65 executes the process of S25 without executing the processes of S23 and S24 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the data icon 133 (S22: tap).

  Next, returning to FIG. 3, the terminal program 65 executes a preview process (S16). The preview process is a process for allowing the user to confirm the image of the execution result of the print operation for the specified data. Details of the preview process will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the terminal program 65 displays the preview screen shown in FIG. 9B on the display unit 53 (S31). The process of S31 is an example of a first display process. The preview screen includes preview images 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, and 156 and a [Start] icon 157. Also, a preview area 158 indicated by a broken line in FIG. 9B includes preview images 151 to 156 and a background area where no preview image is displayed. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the preview screen through the operation unit 54 (S32).

  Preview images 151 to 156 are examples of data objects corresponding to one of the page data included in the designated data. [Start] icon 157 is an example of an execution instruction object corresponding to an instruction for causing a specified device to execute a specified operation on specified data according to an execution condition. In addition, a check box added to the upper left corner of each of the preview images 151 to 156 indicates whether or not page data corresponding to the preview images 151 to 156 is a target of the print operation.

  That is, in the example of FIG. 9B, the page data corresponding to the preview images 151, 154, and 155 is the target of the print operation, and the page data corresponding to the preview images 152, 153, and 156 is not the target of the print operation. Is shown. In other words, the page data corresponding to the checked preview images 151, 154, 155 is the designated data. As described later, the check boxes associated with the preview images 151 to 156 are checked or unchecked by a pop operation or the like with respect to the positions of the preview images 151 to 156.

  Next, the terminal program 65 executes condition change processing in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a peak operation on the preview area 158 (S32: peak in the preview area) (S36). The condition changing process is a process for causing the user to confirm the condition information stored in the area 62B and changing the condition information in accordance with the user's instruction. Details of the condition change process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In response to the peak operation detected in S32 being performed at the position of the preview image 152 (S51: preview image), the terminal program 65 displays the individual notification screen shown in FIG. S52). The individual notification screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. The individual notification screen is a screen that notifies an execution condition unique to the page data corresponding to the preview image 152. The individual notification screen shown in FIG. 10A displays tray information “tray 1” and color information “color”, and does not display recording surface information and layout information. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to an individual alerting | reporting screen through the operation part 54 (S53).

  The “execution condition unique to page data” refers to an execution condition that is applied only to one of a plurality of page data, for example. That is, different values can be set for the plurality of page data included in the designated data in the tray information and the color information. However, before the process of S52 is executed, common tray information and color information are associated with all the page data as shown in FIG. 2B, for example. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C, for example, values common to all page data included in the designated data are set in the recording surface information and the layout information.

  Next, the terminal program 65 displays the individual change screen shown in FIG. 10B in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S32 has changed to a slide operation (S53: slide). Then, it is displayed on the display unit 53 instead of the individual notification screen (S54). The process of step S54 is an example of a third display process. The individual change screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. The individual change screen is a screen that prompts the user to change the execution condition specific to the page data corresponding to the preview image 152. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to an individual change screen through the operation part 54 (S55).

  The individual change screen shown in FIG. 10B includes radio buttons 161, 162, 163, 164, a “change” icon 165, and a “cancel” icon 166. The radio buttons 161 and 162 correspond to one of the execution conditions “tray 1” and “tray 2” set in the tray information, and the radio buttons 163 and 164 correspond to the execution conditions “monochrome” and “color” set in the color information. Corresponds to one of "". [Change] icon 165 corresponds to an instruction to change the execution condition unique to the page data. [Cancel] icon 166 corresponds to an instruction not to change the execution condition.

  Next, in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation for the position of the [change] icon 165 (S55: Yes), the terminal program 65 sets the execution condition corresponding to the checked radio buttons 161 to 164, The execution condition unique to the page data corresponding to the preview image 152 is included in the condition information stored in the area 62B (S56). The process of step S56 is an example of a first storage process.

  For example, when the radio buttons 161 and 163 are checked, the terminal program 65 updates the condition information shown in FIG. 2B as shown in FIG. In the condition information shown in FIG. 2C, the color information “monochrome” is associated with the page data “page 2” corresponding to the preview image 152, and the color information is associated with the other page data “pages 1, 4, 5”. “Color” is associated. On the other hand, tray information, recording surface information, and layout information are associated with the same value for all page data.

  Next, the terminal program 65 includes or excludes the page data corresponding to the preview image 152 from the print operation target (S57). More specifically, the terminal program 65 includes the page data corresponding to the preview image 152 in the print operation target in response to detecting the peak operation for the position of the unchecked preview image 152 in S32 and S51. . On the other hand, the terminal program 65 excludes the page data corresponding to the preview image 151 from the target of the printing operation in response to detecting the peak operation for the checked position of the preview image 151 in S32 and S51. The process of S57 is an example of a determination process.

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 executes the process of S57 without executing the process of S56 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation for the position of the [Cancel] icon 166 (S55: No). Further, the terminal program 65 executes the processing of S57 without executing the processing of S54 to S56 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S32 has changed to the pop operation (S53: Pop). Execute the process.

  Further, the terminal program 65 displays the overall notification screen shown in FIG. 11A on the display unit 53 in response to the peak operation detected in S32 being performed in the background region (S51: background region) (S58). ). The overall notification screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. The overall notification screen is a screen for notifying execution conditions common to all page data. The overall notification screen shown in FIG. 11A displays recording surface information “single side” and layout information “2 in 1”, and does not display tray information and color information. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation for the overall notification screen through the operation unit 54 (S59).

  Next, in response to the fact that the operation unit 54 detects that the peak operation detected in S32 has changed to a slide operation (S59: slide), the terminal program 65 displays the overall change screen shown in FIG. Then, it is displayed on the display unit 53 instead of the entire notification screen (S60). The process of step S60 is an example of a fourth display process. The entire change screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. The overall change screen is a screen that prompts the user to change an execution condition common to all page data. And the terminal program 65 receives the user operation with respect to a whole change screen through the operation part 54 (S61).

  The overall change screen shown in FIG. 11B includes radio buttons 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, a [change] icon 176, and a [cancel] icon 177. The radio buttons 171 and 172 correspond to one of the execution conditions “single side” and “double side” set in the recording surface information, and the radio buttons 173 to 175 correspond to the execution conditions “no aggregation” and “2 in 1” set in the layout information. ", Corresponding to one of" 4 in 1 ". A “change” icon 176 corresponds to an instruction to change an execution condition common to page data. [Cancel] icon 177 corresponds to an instruction not to change the execution condition.

  Next, in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [change] icon 176 (S61: Yes), the terminal program 65 changes the execution condition corresponding to the checked radio buttons 171 to 165 to As an execution condition common to all page data, it is stored in the area 62B (S62). For example, when the radio buttons 171 and 173 are checked, the terminal program 65 overwrites the layout information of the condition information shown in FIG. 2B from “2 in 1” to “no aggregation”. The process of step S62 is an example of a second storage process.

  On the other hand, the terminal program 65 ends the condition changing process without executing the process of S62 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation for the position of the [Cancel] icon 177 (S61: No). The terminal program 65 performs the condition changing process without executing the processes of S60 to S62 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the input medium being operated for peaking is separated from the display surface (S59: separation). finish.

  Next, returning to FIG. 4B, the terminal program 65 executes the processes after S31 again. The preview screen displayed here is different from the preview screen shown in FIG. 9B in that the check box corresponding to the preview image 152 is checked. On the other hand, when the page data is excluded from the print operation targets in S57, the check box of the preview image corresponding to the page data is unchecked.

  Next, the terminal program 65 executes a 3D touch process in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a peak operation for the position of the [Start] icon 157 (S32: start icon & S33: peak) (S34). The 3D touch process executed in S34 is common to S23, but the screen displayed on the display unit 53 is different. In the following, detailed description of points common to S23 will be omitted, and differences will be mainly described.

  The terminal program 65 causes the display unit 53 to display the star notification screen shown in FIG. 12 in the 3D touch process executed in S34 (S42). The status notification screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. The status notification screen is a screen for notifying the state of the multifunction machine 10 indicated by the status information received in S41. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the status notification screen through the operation unit 54 (S43).

  The status notification screen shown in FIG. 12A includes a designated device ID “MFP-A” and a message “[OK] can be printed.”. The status screen shown in FIG. 12A indicates that the multifunction device 10 that is the designated device is in a state in which a printing operation can be performed. For example, the terminal program 65 receives the status information in S41, and according to the fact that the remaining amount of ink indicated by the ink information is greater than or equal to the threshold and the remaining amount of sheet indicated by the sheet information is greater than or equal to the threshold, FIG. The status notification screen shown in (A) is displayed.

  On the other hand, the status notification screen shown in FIG. 12B includes a designated device ID “MFP-A” and a message “[NG] is offline”. The status screen shown in FIG. 12B indicates that communication with the multifunction device 10 is not possible. For example, the terminal program 65 displays the status notification screen shown in FIG. 12B in response to the fact that the status information cannot be received even if the threshold time has elapsed since the transmission request information was transmitted in S41. FIG. 12B is an example of a status notification screen that clearly shows an item “communication state” that inhibits execution of the print operation among a plurality of items indicated by the status information.

  Next, the terminal program 65 displays the device change screen shown in FIG. 13A in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S33 has changed to a slide operation (S43: slide). Instead of the status notification screen shown in FIG. 12B, it is displayed on the display unit 53 (S44). The device change screen according to the present embodiment is a pop-up window that is displayed so as to overlap the preview screen. Then, the terminal program 65 receives a user operation on the device change screen through the operation unit 54 (S45).

  The device change screen is a screen that prompts the user to specify an image processing apparatus that executes a print operation among image processing apparatuses that can communicate with each other through the communication unit 55. The device change screen shown in FIG. 13A includes device icons 181 and 182 corresponding to image processing apparatuses “MFP-B” and “MFP-C” (not shown) connected to the communication network 101.

  Next, for example, in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the device icon 181 (S45: Yes), the terminal program 65 changes the designated device ID “MFP-A” stored in the area 62B, The device ID “MFP-B” associated with the designated device icon 181 is overwritten (S46). The tap operation with respect to the positions of the device icons 181 and 182 is an example of a touch operation for designating a designated device. Then, the terminal program 65 determines whether or not the new designated device can execute the printing operation (S47). That is, the terminal program 65 receives status information from the new designated device through the communication unit 55, and executes the process of S47 based on the received status information.

  As another example, the terminal program 65 receives the status information in S41, and in response to the remaining amount of cyan ink indicated by the ink information being less than the threshold, “cyan ink is in a low state”. A status notification screen including a message may be displayed on the display unit 53 (S42). Then, in response to the fact that the operation unit 54 detects that the peak operation detected in S33 has changed to a slide operation (S43: slide), the terminal program 65 displays the condition change screen shown in FIG. It may be displayed on the display unit 53 instead of the status notification screen (S44).

  Alternatively, the terminal program 65 replaces the help screen shown in FIG. 13B with the status notification screen in response to the change in the peak operation detected in S33 to the slide operation (S43: slide), and the display unit 53 May be displayed. The help screen is a screen showing a procedure for enabling the printing operation to be executed by the image processing apparatus. The help screen according to the present embodiment includes a message “Replace the cyan ink cartridge./Cartridge ID: C-001” and an [OK] icon 183. Then, the terminal program 65 receives status information from the designated device in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [OK] icon 183, and executes the process of S47 based on the received status information. May be.

  Returning to FIG. 4B again, the terminal program 65 ends the preview process in response to determining that the first value “ON” is set in the continuation flag (S35: ON). Further, the terminal program 65 performs the preview without executing the processes of S34 and S35 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a tap operation on the position of the [Start] icon 157 (S32: Start icon & S33: Tap). The process ends.

  On the other hand, when the terminal program 65 determines that the second value “OFF” is set in the continuation flag (S35: OFF), the terminal program 65 executes the processing subsequent to S31 again. That is, the terminal program 65 displays the preview screen on the display unit 53 without proceeding to the processing of S17 by hiding the screen displayed in S42 and S44. At this time, the terminal program 65 may cause the display unit 53 to display a message such as “the designated device is in a state where the printing operation cannot be performed”. Alternatively, in response to determining that the second value “OFF” is set in the continuation flag (S35: OFF), the terminal program 65 causes the display unit 53 to display a setting screen for accepting a change in execution condition. The change of the execution condition received through the operation unit 54 may be reflected in the condition information stored in the area 62B.

  Returning to FIG. 3 again, the terminal program 65 transmits the print instruction information to the designated device through the communication unit 55 (S17). The print instruction information is information for instructing to execute the printing operation for the designated data in accordance with the execution condition indicated by the condition information. The print instruction information includes, for example, designated data designated in S25 and S57 and condition information stored in the area 62B. When any one of S46, S56, and S62 is executed, the terminal program 65 includes the changed condition information in the print instruction information. The process of S17 is an example of an execution instruction process.

  On the other hand, although not shown, the device program 35 of the multifunction machine 10 receives print instruction information from the terminal device 50 through the communication unit 25. Then, the apparatus program 35 causes the printer 11 to execute a printing operation according to the received print instruction information. That is, the printer 11 records the image indicated by the designation data included in the print instruction information on the sheet according to the execution condition indicated by the condition information included in the print instruction information.

[Operational effects of this embodiment]
According to the above-described embodiment, status information is received by the peak operation on the [Start] icon 157, and it is determined whether or not the printing operation can be performed when the peak operation is changed to the pop operation. The state of the designated device is also notified to the user of the terminal device 50 through the status notification screen. Then, in response to determining that the print operation can be executed, print instruction information is transmitted to the designated device. In other words, the user of the terminal device 50 can instruct execution of the print operation after confirming the state of the designated device by a simple operation of sequentially performing a peak operation and a pop operation on the [Start] icon 157. it can.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, the notification screen is displayed by the peak operation on the data object or the preview image, and the corresponding data is determined as the designated data when the peak operation is changed to the pop operation. That is, the user of the terminal device 50 can specify the specified data after confirming the execution condition by a simple operation of sequentially performing the peak operation and the pop operation.

  Furthermore, according to the above-described embodiment, the execution condition unique to the corresponding page data is changed by the peak operation and the slide operation on the preview image. On the other hand, the execution condition common to all the page data is changed by the peak operation and the slide operation on the background area. Thereby, the user of the terminal device 50 can set an appropriate execution condition for each page data by a simple operation.

  Note that the pop-up window displayed by the peak operation and the slide operation is not limited to the screens shown in FIGS. Hereinafter, processing of the terminal program 65 according to the modification will be described. However, a detailed description of points common to the above embodiment will be omitted, and the description will focus on the differences.

[Modification 1]
The terminal program 65 according to the modified example 1 corresponds to the conditions shown in FIG. 8B in response to the operation unit 54 detecting a peak operation for the position of the [Start] icon 157 (S32: start icon & S33: peak). The notification screen may be displayed on the display unit 53 (S42). And the terminal program 65 which concerns on the modification 1 performs the process of S17 according to the operation part 54 having detected that the peak operation detected by S33 changed to pop operation (S43: pop). The process of S17 is an example of a corresponding process associated with the [Start] icon 157.

  That is, the execution condition of the corresponding process is notified by the peak operation on the position of the [Start] icon 157, and the response process (S17) is executed when the peak operation is changed to the pop operation. Thereby, the user of the terminal device 50 can instruct execution of the corresponding process after confirming the execution condition by a simple operation of sequentially performing the peak operation and the pop operation on the [Start] icon 157. .

  Further, the terminal program 65 according to Modification 1 is shown in FIG. 9A in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation detected in S33 has changed to a slide operation (S43: slide). The condition change screen may be displayed on the display unit 53 instead of the condition notification screen shown in FIG. 8B (S44). That is, the user of the terminal device 50 can change the execution condition of the corresponding process by performing a peak operation and a slide operation on the [Start] icon 157.

  Further, the relationship between the handling process and the execution condition is not limited to the above example. As an example, the execution condition of the scan operation may be notified by a peak operation on the [Scan] icon that instructs execution of the scan operation, and the designated device may be instructed to perform the scan operation by changing the peak operation to a pop operation. As another example, the execution condition of the FAX transmission operation is notified by the peak operation on the [FAX transmission] icon for instructing the execution of the FAX transmission operation, and the FAX transmission operation is performed on the designated device when the peak operation is changed to the pop operation. You may be instructed.

  Furthermore, the corresponding process is not limited to a process for causing the image processing apparatus to execute an operation. For example, the terminal device 50 may further include a camera. And the terminal program 65 may alert | report imaging conditions through a condition alerting | reporting screen according to the operation part 54 detecting the peak operation with respect to the position of a [shutter] icon. Further, the terminal program 65 may execute corresponding processing for causing the camera to photograph the subject in response to the operation unit 54 detecting that the peak operation for the [shutter] icon has changed to the pop operation. Note that the shooting conditions include resolution, white balance, presence / absence of flash, and the like.

[Modification 2]
Items displayed on the status notification screen may differ depending on the operation mode of the designated device. The operation mode includes an administrator mode when authentication information assigned to the administrator of the designated device is input to the designated device, and a general mode when the authentication information is not input to the designated device. Then, the device program 35 according to the modified example 2 transmits status information including management information to the terminal device 50 in response to the multifunction device 10 being in the administrator mode. On the other hand, the device program 35 according to the modified example 2 transmits status information that does not include management information to the terminal device 50 in response to the multifunction device 10 being in the general mode.

  The authentication information may be input to the terminal program 65 instead of the designated device. That is, the terminal program 65 according to Modification 2 may operate in the administrator mode or the general mode. The terminal program 65 operating in the administrator mode transmits transmission request information including authentication information to the designated device. On the other hand, the terminal program 65 operating in the general mode transmits transmission request information not including authentication information to the designated device. The device program 35 according to Modification 2 transmits status information including management information to the terminal device 50 as a response to transmission request information including authentication information. On the other hand, the device program 35 according to the modified example 2 transmits status information not including management information to the terminal device 50 as a response to transmission request information not including authentication information.

  Further, the terminal program 65 may display the management information on the status notification screen in response to receiving the status information including the management information. On the other hand, the terminal program 65 may display the status notification screen shown in FIG. 12 in response to receiving status information that does not include management information. That is, the terminal program 65 varies the items displayed on the status notification screen depending on whether the designated device or the terminal program 65 is in the administrator mode and whether the designated device and the terminal program 65 are not in the administrator mode. Thereby, appropriate information can be notified to the user according to the operation mode.

[Other variations]
The terminal program 65 displays the status notification screen shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 53 in response to the operation unit 54 detecting the peak operation for the positions of the data icons 131 to 133 (S22: peak → S23). (S42).
