The image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can operate in a normal mode for normal use and a maintenance mode for performing maintenance. In FIGS. 1 and 2, components that are not necessary in each mode are indicated by broken lines without being deleted so as to be easily compared.

  1 and 2 show the mobile terminal 1 and the image forming apparatus 10 to be maintained. A certain company has a plurality of sites, and the image forming apparatus 10 is installed at each site. Each image forming apparatus 10 only needs to have a characteristic configuration in the present embodiment described below, so only one unit is shown in FIG. 1 for convenience. In the present embodiment, the case where the image forming apparatuses 10 are installed at a plurality of bases will be described. However, a plurality of image forming apparatuses 10 may be installed at one base.

  The mobile terminal 1 can use the image forming apparatus 10 by wireless connection to the access point 40. Although the mobile terminal 1 carries not only maintenance personnel of the image forming apparatus 10 but also employees (users) located at the respective bases, the basic functions themselves may be the same. Only one is shown. In the following description, the mobile terminal 1 used for maintenance by the maintenance staff is referred to as “maintenance terminal”, the mobile terminal 1 used by the user is referred to as “user terminal”, and when these are collectively referred to as “mobile terminal”. I will decide. The maintenance terminal 1 is different from the user terminal in that a maintenance application is installed.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The image forming apparatus 10 is a multifunction machine having various functions such as a print function, a copy function, and a scanner function, and includes an information processing apparatus (computer). In FIG. 3, the CPU 31 controls the operation of various mechanisms mounted on the apparatus such as the scanner 34 and the printer engine 36 in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 39. The address data bus 32 is connected to various mechanisms to be controlled by the CPU 31 to perform data communication. The operation panel 33 receives instructions from the user and displays information. The scanner 34 reads a document set by a user and accumulates it in an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 35 or the like as electronic data. The HDD 35 stores an electronic document read using the scanner 34. The printer engine 36 prints an image on output paper in accordance with an instruction from a control program executed by the CPU 31. A network interface (IF) 37 connects the network and is used for data transmission / reception with an external device. The RAM 38 is used as a work memory during program execution and a communication buffer during electronic data transmission / reception. The ROM 39 stores various programs related to control of the apparatus, encryption of electronic data, and transmission / reception of electronic data. By executing various programs, each component described later exhibits a predetermined processing function. The access point 40 is a wireless communication unit equipped with an access point function, and performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 1 by Wi-Fi Direct.

  Here, the SSID setting table 41 included in the access point 40, the network data set in the SSID setting table 41, and the relationship between the network data and the network will be described.

  The network data is data set as network connection information. There are two types of network data: shared network connection information shared by a plurality of users (hereinafter “shared network data”) and individual network connection information (hereinafter referred to as “individual network data”) assigned in advance for each user. There are different types of network data. In the following description, contents common to both are simply referred to as “network data”.

  The network data is composed of a set of an SSID that is information for identifying an access point and a passphrase as authentication information. In order for the mobile terminal 1 to connect to the access point 40 over the network, the same network data as the network data set in the SSID setting table of the access point 40 needs to be set in the mobile terminal 1 as well. The access point (parent device) 40 in this embodiment can operate in a single SSID mode in which only one access point (SSID) can be set and a multi-SSID mode in which a plurality of access points (SSID) can be set. In this embodiment, the case of operating in the multi-SSID mode will be described as an example. Accordingly, the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can be wirelessly connected simultaneously with a plurality of mobile terminals 1 using different SSIDs.

  When shared network data is set in the SSID setting table 41, the access point 40 forms a network (hereinafter, “shared network”). As a result, the access point 40 wirelessly connects the mobile terminal 1 in which the shared network data is set via the shared network, and performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 1. When individual network data is set in the SSID setting table, the access point 40 forms a network (hereinafter referred to as “individual network”) for wirelessly connecting the mobile terminal 1 in which the individual network data is set. . Accordingly, the access point 40 performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 1 in which the individual network data is set via the individual network. Since the individual network data is given to each user, the access point 40 performs one-to-one data communication with only one mobile terminal 1 via the individual network. Of course, since a plurality of individual network data can be set in the SSID setting table 41 in the present embodiment, a plurality of one-to-one relationships can be formed. Note that the access point 40 can also perform one-to-many data communication with a plurality of mobile terminals 1 for which shared network data is set via the shared network. When the network data is deleted from the SSID setting table 41, the corresponding network is disconnected.

  The mobile terminal 1 incorporates a computer and is equipped with a CPU, ROM, RAM, storage, touch panel, network interface, and the like. The mobile terminal 1 may be realized by a conventional hardware configuration.

  1 and 2, the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes a connection control unit 11, a maintenance processing unit 12, a job processing unit 13, a control unit 14, an operation monitoring unit 15, and a maintenance log storage unit 16. ing. Note that, as described above, strictly speaking, components indicated by broken lines in each mode are not necessary. 1 and 2, an access point 40 having an SSID setting table 41 is also shown. Components not used in the description in this embodiment are omitted from FIGS.

  The connection control unit 11 monitors wireless network connection with the mobile terminal 1 using the access point 40. When the mobile terminal 1 is connected to the network, a MAC (Media Access Control) address as device identification information is acquired from the mobile terminal 1. The maintenance processing unit 12 executes specific processing. The “specific process” is a process different from a function process that the image forming apparatus 10 provides to a general user, such as a print process and a scan process. In the present embodiment, a description will be given assuming maintenance processing by maintenance personnel as specific processing. However, the processing is not limited to maintenance processing, for example, management processing of the image forming apparatus 10, a request from an administrator of the image forming apparatus 10, etc. It may be a certain process. The job processing unit 13 executes job processing including processing performed by the general user described above.

  As will be described in detail later, in this embodiment, network data dedicated to maintenance processing (hereinafter referred to as “maintenance network data”) is assigned to maintenance personnel in advance. The control unit 14 controls the execution of maintenance processing when the mobile terminal 1 is wirelessly connected to the network formed by the access point 40 (hereinafter referred to as “maintenance network”) by setting the maintenance network data. Functions as a control means. Further, the control unit 14 is mobile to a network formed by the access point 40 (hereinafter referred to as “normal network”) by setting individual network data of general users other than maintenance personnel or shared network data shared by the users. When the terminal 1 is wirelessly connected, the execution of job processing other than maintenance processing is controlled in accordance with a request from the user.

  The operation monitoring unit 15 constantly monitors the operation of the image forming apparatus 10 in the normal mode, obtains information related to maintenance such as the usage status of the image forming apparatus 10, the state of resources, and errors that have occurred, and generates a maintenance log. And stored in the maintenance log storage unit 16.

  Each component 11 to 15 in the image forming apparatus 10 is realized by a cooperative operation of a computer mounted on the image forming apparatus 10 and a program operating on the CPU 31 mounted on the computer. In addition, the maintenance log storage unit 16 may use the HDD 35 or the RAM 38 mounted in the image forming apparatus 10 or an external storage unit via a network.

  Further, the program used in this embodiment can be provided not only by communication means but also by storing it in a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or USB memory. The program provided from the communication means or the recording medium is installed in the computer, and various processes are realized by the CPU 31 of the computer sequentially executing the program.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, maintenance network data is given in advance to maintenance personnel. The maintenance network data is individual network data given to maintenance personnel. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 2, network data of a set having the SSID “hoshuSSID” and the passphrase “hoshupass” is given to maintenance personnel as maintenance network data. On the other hand, in this embodiment, individual network data is also given to each user. In FIG. 1, “SSIDuB” and “b2b2b2b2”, “SSIDuD” and “d4d4d4d4”, “SSIDuA” and “a1a1a1a1” are the individual network data of the user, respectively. Each user terminal will be described as being connected to the image forming apparatus 10 via a corresponding individual network, but may be connected to the image forming apparatus 10 using shared network data.

  Next, the operation in this embodiment will be described.

  As described above, the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment can operate in the normal mode during normal use by the user and the maintenance mode for maintenance by the maintenance staff. As illustrated in FIG. 1, individual network data of the user is set in the SSID setting table 41 in the normal mode. Accordingly, a user terminal in which the same individual network data as that of any one of the SSID setting table 41 is set can perform wireless communication with the image forming apparatus 10 via the individual network. In the present embodiment, the maintenance network data is not set in the SSID setting table 41 in the normal mode. Accordingly, the maintenance staff cannot connect the maintenance terminal 1 to the image forming apparatus 10 in a state where the maintenance network data is set. That is, if the image forming apparatus 10 is not in the maintenance mode, the maintenance staff cannot execute the maintenance process via the maintenance network, and can execute the maintenance process only in the maintenance mode as described later. Become. The control unit 14 thus controls the setting of the network data in the SSID setting table 41.

  For example, when the user wants to use the printing process provided by the image forming apparatus 10, the user moves within a range where radio waves from the access point 40 can reach, so that the user terminal 1 of the user is connected to the individual network. When the user terminal 1 requests execution of job processing by transmitting a desired job to the image forming apparatus 10, the control unit 14 that also functions as a job execution control unit responds to the job processing unit 13 in response to the request. Run the job. Further, the operation monitoring unit 15 constantly monitors the operation of the image forming apparatus 10 in the normal mode, generates a maintenance log based on the collected usage status of the image forming apparatus 10, and stores the maintenance log in the maintenance log storage unit 16. .

  Here, a case where a maintenance staff visits a base where the image forming apparatus 10 is installed and performs maintenance work will be described with reference to a sequence diagram shown in FIG.

  The maintenance staff performs a predetermined operation to start maintenance of the image forming apparatus 10 to switch from the normal mode to the maintenance mode (step 101). For example, the image forming apparatus 10 is switched to the maintenance mode by performing a predetermined operation such as turning off the power and then turning on the power of the image forming apparatus 10 while pressing the maintenance button. When the control unit 14 detects that the image forming apparatus 10 is activated in the maintenance mode, the control unit 14 performs control so that only the maintenance network data is set in the SSID setting table 41 (step 301). As a result, wireless communication between the mobile terminal 1 for which maintenance network data is not set and the image forming apparatus 10 cannot be performed.

  Subsequently, the maintenance person operates the maintenance terminal 1 to start a maintenance application (step 102). When started, the maintenance application sets maintenance network data in the maintenance terminal 1 as network data (step 201). As a result, the maintenance terminal 1 within the reach of the radio wave from the access point 40 is wirelessly connected to the access point 40 via the maintenance network and can perform wireless communication (step 302).

  Thereafter, the maintenance terminal sends a maintenance process execution instruction to the image forming apparatus 10 in accordance with the instruction operation of the maintenance staff (step 202). In response to the execution instruction from the maintenance terminal 1, the control unit 14 executes a maintenance process such as transmitting a maintenance log stored in the maintenance log storage unit 16 (step 303).

  When the maintenance process executed as described above is completed, the maintenance terminal 1 notifies the maintenance staff by displaying on the screen that the maintenance process has been completed (step 204). Thus, when the maintenance staff recognizes the end of the maintenance process, the maintenance staff cancels the maintenance mode and returns to the normal mode (step 103). For example, the image forming apparatus 10 may be restarted. When returning to the normal mode, the maintenance network data is not set in the SSID setting table 41 as illustrated in FIG. That is, since the maintenance network data is set in the SSID setting table 41 only when the maintenance mode is set in the image forming apparatus 10, the mobile terminal in which the maintenance network data is set in the maintenance mode. Only one access point 40 can be wirelessly connected.

  As described above, the maintenance staff can perform the maintenance work. As described above, in this embodiment, a maintenance mode different from the normal mode is set, and only the maintenance network data is set in the SSID setting table 41 in this maintenance mode. For this reason, a general user who does not know the maintenance network data cannot use the user terminal 1 by connecting it to the image forming apparatus 10, so that information related to maintenance is not leaked to the user.

  If a user obtains maintenance network data illegally, the maintenance network data is set in the user terminal 1 so as to function as the maintenance terminal 1, and general job processing is executed from the user terminal 1. Is requested. In this case, in the maintenance mode, the control unit 14 prohibits execution of general job processing and performs control so that only maintenance processing can be executed, so that job processing is not executed. On the other hand, when the maintenance staff tries to execute general job processing other than the maintenance processing, the job processing is not executed as described above. As a result, unauthorized use of customer resources can be prevented.

  On the other hand, in the normal mode, the user terminal 1 in which the maintenance network data is set cannot be connected to the access point 40, so that neither the maintenance process nor the general job process can be executed. Further, in response to a general job processing execution request from the user terminal 1 for which maintenance network data is not set, the control unit 14 naturally permits the execution of the job processing. When the execution of is requested, even if the request source is the maintenance terminal 1, control is performed so as to prohibit the execution of the maintenance process.

  In the present embodiment, it has been described that the maintenance process is executed in accordance with the execution instruction of the maintenance staff. However, when the maintenance terminal is connected via the maintenance network, the control unit 14 determines the predetermined contents. The maintenance process may be automatically started.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the normal mode and the maintenance mode are prepared, and each mode can be switched and applied. The present embodiment is characterized in that normal job processing and maintenance processing can be performed simultaneously in parallel according to a predetermined condition without particularly setting a mode.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The configuration of the image forming apparatus 10 in the present embodiment may be the same as that in the first embodiment. However, in order to enable normal job processing and maintenance processing to be executed in parallel, the SSID setting table 41 includes both maintenance network data given to maintenance personnel and network data given to users. The case where is set is illustrated. In FIG. 5, as network data, a set of network data having an SSID of “devSSID” and a passphrase of “devpass” is given to the user as shared network data, and each user uses the shared network data to form the image forming apparatus 10. An example of using the will be described. Of course, each user may use individual network data as in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the maintenance network data and the shared network data are always set in the SSID setting table 41 so that the maintenance network and the shared network are always formed.

  Job execution processing in the present embodiment when job execution is requested in this state will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, description will be made assuming that maintenance processing is also executed as a job.

  When the image forming apparatus 10 receives a job sent from any one of the mobile terminals 1 (step 601), the control unit 14 is the case where the transmission source of the job is the maintenance terminal 1 (Y in step 602). If the job is a job for executing the maintenance process (Y in Step 603), the maintenance process as requested is executed (Step 604). Whether the job is from the maintenance terminal 1 may be determined based on whether the job is received via the maintenance network. On the other hand, when the maintenance terminal 1 requests execution of general job processing (N in step 603), it does not respond to the request. In this case, the maintenance terminal 1 may be notified that it is not executed. Thereby, unauthorized use by maintenance personnel of the customer's image forming apparatus 10 can be prevented.

  On the other hand, when the job transmission source is not the maintenance terminal 1 but the user terminal 1 (N in step 602), the control unit 14 determines that the job is a job for executing normal processing (in step 605). Y) The job processing as requested is executed (step 606). Whether the job is from the user terminal 1 may be determined based on whether the job is received via the shared network. On the other hand, when the user terminal 1 requests execution of maintenance processing (N in step 605), it does not respond to the request. In this case, the user terminal 1 may be notified that it is not executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the general user from performing the maintenance process.

  According to the present embodiment, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the job can be executed based on the combination of the owner of the mobile terminal 1 and the requested job type. Only can be executed.

  By the way, when wirelessly connected via a network, the connection control unit 11 receives the MAC address of the connected mobile terminal 1. Therefore, the control unit 14 registers the MAC address of the maintenance terminal 1 in the image forming apparatus 10 in advance, and receives the job from the maintenance terminal 1 by comparing with the MAC address of the mobile terminal 1 that is the transmission source of the job. It will be possible to judge whether or not. Therefore, in step 602 described above, the job transmission source is determined based on the route of the network that has received the job, but may be determined based on the MAC address instead. In this case, the MAC address of the user terminal 1 instead of the maintenance terminal 1 or both the user terminal 1 and the maintenance terminal 1 may be registered in advance.

  In this embodiment, the SSID stealth function may be applied to the maintenance network data so that the maintenance SSID is not detected from the mobile terminal 1. In this case, only maintenance personnel to whom maintenance network data is assigned in advance can connect to the access point 40 using the maintenance network data.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the image forming apparatus 10 including the information processing apparatus has been described as an example. However, even if the image forming apparatus 10 is not used, for example, an access point alone or an access point that can be a target for executing a specific process It can also be applied to routers with built-in functions, home appliances with built-in access point functions, or devices equipped with access point functions.
