FIG. 3 is a diagram conceptually showing multitasking processing in the image forming apparatus according to the first embodiment. In the image forming apparatus 10 of the first embodiment, the first job information sheet SH1 and at least one or more (for example, 14 sheets in this embodiment) document G are read by the image reading unit 17, and a plurality of sheets are read. A multitasking process is configured in which a plurality of jobs described in the job information sheet SH1 are set for the manuscript G, and the manuscript G is processed with the contents of the plurality of jobs.

Specifically, in the image forming apparatus 10 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a series of originals including one job information sheet SH1 and 14 originals G is shown in FIG. 1 by the user. It is set in the document tray 1 shown. The 14 manuscripts G may be appropriately referred to as the first manuscript G1, the second manuscript G2, ..., And the 14th manuscript G14.

As shown in FIG. 3, the job information sheet SH1 is one sheet (for example, a sheet) on which a plurality of job information in which a mark, a job type, and a job content are associated with each other is described.

There are three types of marks, for example, a star mark, a quadrangle mark, and a triangle mark. At least one or more job types are associated with the mark. Examples of the job type include "Print" indicating printing (or copying), "Send" indicating transmission to a specific external information processing apparatus 30, and a storage unit 19 of the image forming apparatus 10 in advance. There are three types, such as "Store", which indicates storage in a specified storage location.

The content of the job includes various contents according to the type of job, for example, job attribute, color mode, scan size, tray setting, destination address setting (for example, E-mail address setting) and the like.

When a plurality of jobs are set, the job attributes are represented by numerical values for identifying and indicating the plurality of jobs. When a plurality of jobs are included in the job attribute, a numerical value from "1" to "the number of the jobs" is set. In the triangle mark shown in FIG. 3, two jobs (save job and send job) are associated with each other. Therefore, the job attributes are set to "1" ("Job Attributes: 1") for the first save job and "2" ("Job Attributes: 2") for the two send jobs. In addition, in the star-shaped mark and the quadrangle mark shown in FIG. 3, there is only one job. Therefore, the job attribute is “none” in the case of only one job.

In FIG. 3, the job information sheet SH1 has a star-shaped mark indicating the job type “Print” and the contents of the print job (automatic color, A4 size scan, and pulling out the paper from the tray accommodating A4 size paper). Print job information associated with tray settings, etc., square mark indicating the job type "Send", and the contents of the send job (full color, A4 size scan, E-mail address setting of the destination, etc.) The job information of the transmission associated with is described. Further, the job information sheet SH1 has a triangle mark indicating two or more job types (here, "Store" and "Send") and the contents of the two or more jobs (contents of the saved job). It also describes a plurality of job information in which and the content of the transmission job) are associated with each other.

As shown in FIG. 3, marks such as a star mark, a quadrangle mark, and a triangle mark are described in predetermined positions (for example, in the upper right corner) of each page of the 14 manuscripts G. Here, since the user wants to perform a print job on the first to eighth manuscripts G1 to G8, star-shaped marks are described on the manuscripts G1 to G8, respectively. Further, since the user wants to perform a transmission job for the 9th to 13th manuscripts G9 to G13, square marks are described in the manuscripts G9 to G13, respectively. Further, since the user wants to perform a save job and a transmission job for the 14th manuscript G14, a triangle mark is described on the manuscript G14. These marks are, but are not limited to, marks handwritten on the manuscript G by the user. For example, it is possible that each of the above marks is described in advance in a predetermined portion of the image of the manuscript G, and the user obtains the marked manuscript G by printing the image of the manuscript G. ..

It should be noted that the extraction unit 22 described later, which extracts a plurality of job information from the image of the job information sheet SH1 and the mark of each page from the images of the 14 original documents G, and the original document G according to the contents extracted by the extraction unit 22. The control unit 21 for executing the processing of the contents of a plurality of jobs will be described in detail below.

The control unit 11 is composed of a processor, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The processor is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU, or an ASIC. The control unit 11 functions as a control unit 21, an extraction unit 22, and an execution determination unit 23 when the control program stored in the storage unit 19 is executed by the above processor. The control unit 21, the extraction unit 22, and the execution determination unit 23 of the control unit 11 may each be configured by a hard circuit regardless of the operation based on the control program.

The control unit 21 controls the overall operation of the image forming apparatus 10. FIG. 4A is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the display unit of the image forming apparatus. For example, the control unit 21 causes the display unit 12 to display the operation screen shown in FIG. 4 (A). The control unit 21 controls various execution processes such as copying, printing, scanning, facsimile, and multitasking according to a user's touch operation on the operation screen shown in FIG. 4A.

Then, when the user touches the key KB1 displayed as "scan start" shown in FIG. 4B, the control unit 21 causes the image reading unit 17 to read the image of the first job information sheet SH1. The image reading unit 17 is made to sequentially read 14 sheets of originals G1 to G14 in which marks are written at predetermined locations on each page. The control unit 21 stores the image of the job information sheet SH1 read by the image reading unit 17 in a predetermined storage area (for example, a reuse folder) of the storage unit 19, and stores the images of the 14 originals G1 to G14. Each image is stored in a predetermined storage area for a manuscript image of the storage unit 19. When the job is executed normally, the control unit 21 deletes the image of the document G stored in the storage unit 19, but does not delete the image of the job information sheet SH1 unless the user instructs to delete it. ..

The extraction unit 22 extracts a plurality of job information from the image of the job information sheet SH1 read by the image reading unit 17. For example, the extraction unit 22 analyzes the image of the job information sheet SH1 by performing a known OCR (optical character recognition) process, and extracts a plurality of job information. Speaking of FIG. 3, the extraction unit 22 extracts print job information, transmission job information, and save and transmission job information from the image of the job information sheet SH1, respectively.

Further, the extraction unit 22 analyzes a predetermined portion of the image of each page of the 14 originals G1 to G14 read by the image reading unit 17 by performing a known OCR process, and marks each page. Are extracted respectively. Speaking in FIG. 3, the extraction unit 22 extracts star-shaped marks from the images of the first to eighth manuscripts G1 to G8, respectively, and squares from the images of the ninth to thirteenth manuscripts G9 to G13. Each mark is extracted, and a triangle mark is extracted from the image of the 14th original G14. In addition, the extraction unit 22 compares various marks of the reference stored in the storage unit 19 in advance with the marks described in the predetermined places of the image of each manuscript G by known pattern matching, and compares the manuscript. The mark on each page of G may be extracted.

The control unit 21 uses a plurality of job information extracted from the image of the job information sheet SH1 by the extraction unit 22 to display the contents of the job corresponding to the mark extracted by the extraction unit 22 for each page of 14 manuscripts G1 to G14. Specific to. For example, the control unit 21 uses the extraction results of 14 original documents G by the extraction unit 22, and as shown in FIG. It is specified in the image that the triangle mark is described in the image of the 14th manuscript G14. Then, the control unit 21 describes the star-shaped mark by using the print job information indicated by the star-shaped mark, the transmission job information indicated by the square mark, and the save and send job information indicated by the triangle mark. For the 1st to 8th manuscripts G1 to G8, it was specified that the printing job corresponding to the star-shaped mark was performed, and for the 9th to 13th manuscripts G9 to G13 on which the square mark was described, It is specified that the transmission job corresponding to the square mark is performed, and that the save job and the transmission job corresponding to the triangle mark are performed for the 14th original G14 on which the triangle mark is described.

Subsequently, the control unit 21 causes the processing of the manuscript G of the page on which the mark is described to be executed in the processing of the contents of the job specified for each page. For example, the control unit 21 executes a print job corresponding to the star-shaped mark on the first to eighth manuscripts G1 to G8 on which the star-shaped mark is written, and executes the print job corresponding to the star-shaped mark, and the ninth to thirteenth manuscript G9. -For G13, the transmission job corresponding to the square mark is executed, and for the 14th original G14, the save job and the transmission job corresponding to the triangle mark are executed.

The execution determination unit 23 determines whether or not the contents of the plurality of jobs have been executed. For example, the execution determination unit 23 contains 14 manuscripts containing a plurality of job information extracted from the image of the job information sheet SH1 by the extraction unit 22, that is, a print job, a transmission job, a save job, and a transmission job. Determine if it was executed for G.

When the execution determination unit 23 determines that all the contents of the plurality of jobs have been executed, the control unit 21 causes the display unit 12 to display a result display indicating that all the contents of the plurality of jobs have been executed. .. Further, when the execution determination unit 23 determines that at least one or more of the contents of the plurality of jobs has not been executed, the control unit 21 displays a result display indicating the contents of the unexecuted job. Display on 12.

Subsequently, an example of multitasking processing by the image forming apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of multitasking processing according to the first embodiment. The multitasking process shown in FIG. 5 includes a job information sheet scanning process (S1) and a document multitasking process (S2).

The extraction unit 22 extracts a plurality of job information from the image of the job information sheet SH1 read by the image reading unit 17 (S14). The control unit 21 stores a plurality of job information extracted from the image of the job information sheet SH1 by the extraction unit 22 in the reuse folder of the storage unit 19 in association with the image of the stored job information sheet SH1. The control unit 21 causes the job log display area JL1 on the display screen shown in FIG. 8 to display that the generation of the plurality of job information described in the job information sheet SH1 has started, and the extraction of the plurality of job information proceeds. As a result, it is displayed that printing, sending and saving have been extracted, and when the extraction of job information is completed, the completion is displayed. Here, since the job information sheet SH1 is read and before the document G is read, the control unit 21 sets the detection job display area JD1 for displaying the job for the document as a blank display.

The extraction unit 22 extracts a plurality of job information described in the job information sheet SH1 shown in FIG. Specifically, the extraction unit 22 draws out the paper from the tray that accommodates the star-shaped mark indicating the job type "Print" and the content of the print job (automatic color, A4 size scan, A4 size paper). The print job information associated with (settings, etc.), the square mark indicating the job type "Send", and the print job content (full color, A4 size scan, destination E-mail address setting, etc.) The job information of the transmission associated with, the triangle mark indicating the type of two or more jobs (here, "Store" and "Send"), and the contents of the two or more jobs (save job). The save and send job information in which the contents of the above and the contents of the send job) are associated with each other is extracted.

The control unit 21 sets the first flag to ON (S15) and ends the process shown in FIG. In S11 above, when the control unit 21 determines that the first flag is ON (YES in S11), the control unit 21 ends the process shown in FIG.

The control unit 21 returns to FIG. 5 and starts the multitasking process (S2) of the document. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 21 causes the image reading unit 17 to read the image of the document G1 on the first page (S201). Here, the control unit 21 causes the image reading unit 17 to read the image of the first document G1 by pulling out the currently highest (first sheet) document G1 from the document tray 1 by the automatic document feeder.

The extraction unit 22 analyzes a predetermined portion of the image of the first document G1 read by the image reading unit 17 by performing a known OCR process, and extracts the mark of the first document G1. do. In FIG. 3, the extraction unit 22 extracts the star-shaped mark from the image of the first document G1.

The control unit 21 determines whether or not there is a job information mark in the image of the document G (S202). Specifically, the control unit 21 extracts the star-shaped mark from the upper right corner of the image of the first document G1 by the extraction unit 22, and determines that there is a job information mark (YES in S202). The content of the job for the first manuscript G1 is specified (S203). For example, the control unit 21 uses the extraction result of the first document G1 by the extraction unit 22 to specify that the star-shaped mark is described in the image of the document G1 as shown in FIG. Then, the control unit 21 specifies that the print job corresponding to the star-shaped mark is performed on the first original document G1 on which the star-shaped mark is described by using the print job information indicated by the star-shaped mark.

On the other hand, when the control unit 21 determines that there is no job information mark in the original image (NO in S202), for example, the extraction unit 22 extracts the mark from the upper right corner of the image of the first original G1. If not, it is judged that there is no mark in the job information (NO in S202), that there is no mark on the first manuscript G1, and that the first to 14 sheets are marked after the first manuscript G1 is marked. A notification display for notifying that the documents G1 to G14 up to the eyes are to be reset is displayed on the display unit 12 (S210). When the operation unit 14 is instructed to resume reading (YES in S211), the control unit 21 resumes reading by the image reading unit 17 and returns to S202. On the other hand, when the operation unit 14 is instructed to end in S211 (NO in S211), the control unit 21 stops reading by the image reading unit 17 and proceeds to S212.

The control unit 21 causes the detection job display area JD2 of the display screen shown in FIG. 9A to display “Print” indicating that the job for the document G1 is printing.
