Description

しかし、このような画像読取装置は、画像読取装置を安価でユーザに提供するために、ハードウェアリソース、例えば、後述するＣＰＵ、ＨＤＤ、ＲＯＭ、ＲＡＭを制限している場合がある。ゆえに、情報処理端末にインストールするスキャニングアプリケーションの画像読取設定項目と比べると、上記Ｗｅｂサーバを介して実行されるアプリケーションでは、設定項目に制限が設けられている。例えば、原稿サイズでは、Ａ３サイズよりも長い長尺原稿、解像度では６００ｄｐｉ、４００ｄｐｉ、などの高解像度、読取面では原稿の表面と裏面を一画像にして出力する半折読取、バーコードの読取やＯＣＲでの文字認識などが挙げられる。そのため、共有で画像読取装置を利用する場合であっても、ユーザが望む画像を得るためには、スキャニングアプリケーションを使用する必要があり、ユーザは、Ｗｅｂアプリケーションと情報処理端末上のスキャニングアプリケーションを使い分けなくてはならず、業務効率を著しく低下させていた。 However, such an image reading device may limit hardware resources such as a CPU, HDD, ROM, and RAM, which will be described later, in order to provide the image reading device to the user at low cost. Therefore, compared to the image reading setting items of the scanning application installed in the information processing terminal, the setting items are limited in the application executed via the Web server. For example, the original size is a long original longer than A3 size, the resolution is high resolution such as 600 dpi, 400 dpi, etc., and the reading surface is half-fold reading that outputs the front and back sides of the original as one image, barcode reading, etc. Character recognition by OCR and the like can be mentioned. Therefore, even when the image reader is used for sharing, it is necessary to use a scanning application in order to obtain the image desired by the user, and the user properly uses the Web application and the scanning application on the information processing terminal. It had to be done, and the work efficiency was significantly reduced.

本発明は、上記の課題を解決するためになされたものである。本発明は、情報処理端末からのリモート接続に応じて画像読取処理を行う際、情報処理端末内で画像読取処理をできるかどうかを確認し、情報処理端末で画像読取処理ができる場合は、画像読取装置内で行うことが困難である画像読取処理設定を表示し、画像読取処理を可能にし、業務効率の低下を防ぎ、操作性を向上する仕組みを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. The present invention confirms whether or not the image reading process can be performed in the information processing terminal when performing the image reading process in response to the remote connection from the information processing terminal, and if the information processing terminal can perform the image reading process, the image. It is an object of the present invention to display image reading processing settings that are difficult to perform in a reading device, enable image reading processing, prevent a decrease in work efficiency, and provide a mechanism for improving operability .

本発明によれば、情報処理端末からのリモート接続に応じて画像読取処理を行う際、情報処理端末内で画像処理できる場合は、画像読取装置内で行うことが困難である画像読取処理設定も含めて表示して画像読取処理を可能にし、業務効率の低下を防ぎ、操作性を向上することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, when performing image reading processing in response to a remote connection from an information processing terminal, if image processing can be performed in the information processing terminal, it is difficult to perform image reading processing setting in the image reading device. It is possible to display including and enable image reading processing, prevent deterioration of work efficiency, and improve operability.

内部Ｗｅｂアプリケーションサーバ３５３０は、ネットワークスキャニング装置３５２における原稿画像の読み取り処理に係る画像処理が可能である。内部Ｗｅｂアプリケーションサーバ３５３０は、情報処理端末３５１のＷｅｂブラウザ３５１１を通じて表示する画面データとして後述する図３７の読取設定画面３７０１を提供する。Ｗｅｂブラウザ３５１１に提供された画面データは、情報処理端末３５１の表示装置４６で表示される。内部Ｗｅｂアプリケーションサーバ３５３０を用いた読取制御において、ユーザは、Ｗｅｂブラウザ３５１１に表示された読取設定画面３７０１（図３７）を通じて、読取設定の指定及びスキャン開始の指示が可能となる。スキャン開始の指示が行われると、Ｗｅｂブラウザ３５１１が取得した読取設定情報は、内部Ｗｅｂアプリケーションサーバ３５３０からスキャンサービスプログラム３５２６を通じて制御ドライバ３５２７に伝達され、同時に読取開始も指示される。 The internal Web application server 3530 can perform image processing related to the reading process of the original image in the network scanning device 352. The internal Web application server 3530 provides the reading setting screen 3701 of FIG. 37, which will be described later, as screen data to be displayed through the Web browser 3511 of the information processing terminal 351. The screen data provided to the Web browser 3511 is displayed on the display device 46 of the information processing terminal 351. In the reading control using the internal Web application server 3530, the user can specify the reading setting and instruct the start of scanning through the reading setting screen 3701 (FIG. 37) displayed on the Web browser 3511. When the scan start instruction is given, the read setting information acquired by the Web browser 3511 is transmitted from the internal Web application server 3530 to the control driver 35 27 through the scan service program 35 26, and at the same time, the scan start instruction is also instructed.

読取設定情報を受け取った制御ドライバ３５２７は、該読取設定情報に基づいてスキャナ本体３５２３を制御する。読取設定を制御ドライバ３５２７に反映後、読取を開始し、スキャナ本体３５２３から画像データを取得する。なお、スキャナ本体３５２３から取得した画像データは、制御ドライバ３５２７からスキャンサービスプログラム３５２６に送信される。詳細は後述するが、スキャンサービスプログラム３５２６は、制御ドライバ３５２７から取得した画像データを内部Ｗｅｂアプリケーションサーバ３５３０に送信する。 The control driver 35 27 that has received the reading setting information controls the scanner main body 35 23 based on the reading setting information. After the reading setting is reflected in the control driver 35 27, scanning is started and image data is acquired from the scanner main body 35 23. The image data acquired from the scanner main body 35 23 is transmitted from the control driver 35 27 to the scan service program 35 26. Although the details will be described later, the scan service program 35 26 transmits the image data acquired from the control driver 35 27 to the internal Web application server 3530.
