Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for inputting an instruction to an electronic device.

  Copiers equipped with a touch panel type instruction input device have become widespread. The touch panel includes a liquid crystal display panel that displays a menu image including a plurality of menu items, and the menu item is designated by detecting that any of the menu items is touched with a user's fingertip or the like. It has a function to input information representing. In addition, the menu has a hierarchical structure and displays a lower level menu of the selected item, thereby subdividing the input items and realizing multi-functionality.

In such a touch panel, after a certain input operation, when the subsequent input operation is not performed within a predetermined time, the setting value so far is cleared and reset to a predetermined state (for example, an initial setting state). There is a function. As a case where the subsequent input operation is not performed within a predetermined time, for example, the following cases can be considered.
(1) A case where a predetermined time has passed while the user is at a loss in selecting a menu item.
(2) When the user has a visual impairment, an upper limb disorder, a cognitive disorder, etc., and the input operation takes a longer time than a non-disabled person
(3) When the user designates the type of paper, the paper is out of paper, and a predetermined time elapses while paper is being supplied.
(4) When a predetermined time elapses while processing other requirements, such as talking to another person or answering a phone call.

Among the cases described above, Patent Document 1 proposes a solution to the case (2). In the input processing system disclosed in Patent Document 1, an input unit for a disabled person and an input unit for a non-disabled person are provided separately until the set value is cleared in the input unit for the disabled person The predetermined time is set longer than the input unit for the non-disabled person. As a result, even a handicapped person who requires a long time for an input operation can perform a desired input operation without delay compared to the case of using a conventional input unit (for a non-handicapped person).

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, an example in which the instruction input device according to the present invention is used in a copying machine will be described.
<Configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of the copying machine 1 according to the first embodiment. The copying machine 1 has a copying function for reading a document and creating a copy.
The copying machine 1 has a control unit 4 including a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 44, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 45, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 46, etc. (all not shown), and is stored in the ROM 45. The CPU 44 controls each part of the copier 1 by executing an OS (Operating System) program.

The storage unit 5 is a nonvolatile memory such as a hard disk device. The storage unit 5 stores a program that describes procedures such as reading a document and outputting an image.
The instruction input unit 41 includes a keyboard 40 including a numeric keypad and a start button, and a touch panel 39 including a liquid crystal panel. A user can input an instruction to the copying machine 1. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the appearance of the instruction input unit 41. In the figure, a touch panel 39 is arranged on the left side and a keyboard 40 is arranged on the right side.
The touch panel 39 includes a sensor that displays a menu image in which one or more menu items are arranged and detects that any of the menu items is touched by a user's fingertip or the like. When the contact with the menu item is detected by the sensor, information indicating the designation of the menu item is written in the RAM 46.

  The instruction input by the user includes, for example, designation of paper size, designation of image enlargement / reduction ratio, designation of single-sided / double-sided copying, and the like. The touch panel 39 can display information related to the state of the copying machine 1 and displays information indicating that a document reading and image output process is in progress, information indicating that the copying process has been completed, and the like. The The display of the designated menu item is reversed in black and white so that the user can visually confirm the designated menu item. In addition, when a numeric value for the number of copies is input using the numeric keypad, the numeric value is displayed.

  A sheet 10 for forming an image is accommodated in the sheet feed tray 9. When the user inputs an image formation instruction using the instruction input unit 41, the paper feed roller 33 is driven to rotate, and the sheets 10 are sent out from the paper feed tray 9 one by one. The sheet 10 sent out from the paper feed tray 9 is conveyed along a conveyance path 36 by roller pairs 34, 35, and 37.

  The image input unit 12 is a scanner device that optically reads a document and generates image data. The original placed on the platen glass 2 is irradiated with light from the light source 13, and the reflected light is processed by the optical system 3. The reflected light is received by the light receiving unit 17 via the mirrors 14, 15 and 16. Then, the image processing unit 18 converts the reflected light into an electrical signal, and generates image data composed of each color of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black.

The image forming unit 6 includes image forming engines 7Y, 7M, 7C, and 7K, a transfer belt 8, and the like.
The image forming engines 7Y, 7M, 7C, and 7K form toner images of yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K), respectively. Since the configuration of each image forming engine is common, only the image forming engine 7Y will be described here.
The image forming engine 7Y includes a charging device 21Y, an exposure device 19Y, a developing device 22Y, a cleaner 24Y, and the like around a photosensitive drum 20Y as an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed.

The charging device 21Y charges the surface of the photosensitive drum 20Y that is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow A to a predetermined potential.
The exposure device 19Y is a ROS (Raster Output Scanner) that irradiates a photosensitive drum 20Y charged to a predetermined potential with an exposure beam LB based on image data. The exposure device 19Y emits a laser beam based on image data from a semiconductor laser (not shown), and forms an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the photoreceptor drum 20Y by deflecting and scanning the laser beam. On the surface of the photoreceptor drum 20Y, the potential of the portion irradiated with the laser light is reduced to a predetermined level due to the photoconductivity of the photoreceptor drum 20Y. As described above, when the surface potential of the photosensitive drum 20Y changes, an electrostatic latent image based on the image data is formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum 20Y.

The developing device 22Y is a device that visualizes the electrostatic latent image formed on the surface of the photosensitive drum 20Y. Toner (charged color material) is supplied from the toner tank 23Y, and a toner image is obtained by reversal development of the electrostatic latent image with toner charged to the same polarity as that of the photosensitive drum 20Y.
The transfer belt 8 is stretched around rollers 26, 27, 28, and 29, and is circulated and driven in the direction of arrow B. The photosensitive drum 20Y is in pressure contact with the transfer belt 8 positioned below the photosensitive drum 20Y, and the toner image formed as described above is transferred to the transfer belt 8.
The cleaner 24Y is a device that removes the toner remaining on the photosensitive drum 20Y.

  The above is the configuration of the image forming engine 7Y. In the image forming engines 7M, 7C, and 7K, toner images corresponding to the respective colors are formed and transferred onto the transfer belt 8 in an overlapping manner. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the image forming engines 7Y, 7M, 7C, and 7K, they are simply referred to as the image forming engine 7. Similarly, for other components, the Y, M, C, and K notations are omitted when it is not necessary to distinguish between Y, M, C, and K.

The sheet 10 sent out from the paper feed tray 9 onto the conveyance path 36 enters a nip portion formed by the transfer belt 8 and the transfer roller 30 and is pressed against the transfer belt 8. The toner image is transferred to the surface of the sheet 10 by this pressure contact force and electrostatic attraction force.
The sheet 10 on which the toner image is transferred is guided to the fixing device 11 by the roller pair 31. In the fixing device 11, the sheet 10 is pressed and heated to fix the toner image on the sheet 10. The sheet 10 on which the image is formed in this manner is discharged to the paper discharge tray 32.
The above is the hardware configuration of the copying machine 1.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the instruction input device 100. The hardware of the instruction input device 100 includes the control unit 4, the storage unit 5, and the instruction input unit 41. The CPU 44 executes the program stored in the storage unit 5 and has the following functions. Realized.
The input unit 101 inputs an instruction to the copying machine 1 and sets a first set value representing the content of the input instruction. Specifically, when an instruction is input to the instruction input unit 41 by the user, a setting value (first setting value) representing the input instruction is written in the RAM 46. The touch panel 39 displays information representing the first setting value. For example, the display of the specified menu item is reversed in black and white. A numerical value representing the number of copies is displayed.

  The setting value saving unit 102 is a first setting value that has already been set in the input unit 101 when an instruction subsequent to the instruction is not input within a predetermined time after the instruction is input by the input unit 101. Remember. Specifically, when an instruction is input to the instruction input unit 41, a timer is started, and the CPU 44 determines whether or not a subsequent instruction is input within a predetermined time (for example, 120 seconds). When a subsequent instruction is not input within a predetermined time, the first set value written in the RAM 46 is stored in the storage unit 5.

  The initialization unit 103 sets the second setting value in the input unit 101 after the first setting value is stored by the setting value saving unit 102. Specifically, after the first set value is stored in the storage unit 5, the second set value is written into the RAM 46. The second set value is, for example, a default value (initial value) of the instruction input unit 41. When the second setting value is written in the RAM 46, all the menu item designations made by the user so far are cleared and reset. The display on the touch panel 39 is changed to a default image in which no menu item is designated. Also, a default value (for example, 1) is set for the number of copies.

  The notification unit 104 outputs information indicating that the first setting value stored in the setting value saving unit 102 can be set in the input unit 101. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which information (setting save message) indicating that the first setting value stored in the storage unit 5 can be set in the input unit 101 is displayed on the touch panel 39. In this example, the message “Reset settings can be restored.” Is displayed. As a result, the initial value is set in the copying machine 1 at that time, and the user is notified that the cleared first setting value can be restored. Note that the instruction input device 100 may be provided with a speaker, and the user may be notified by emitting a sound representing a similar message from the speaker.

The return instruction unit 105 inputs an instruction to set the first setting value stored in the setting value saving unit 102 in the input unit 101. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a menu item “reset settings” is displayed on the touch panel 39. By specifying this item, the user can instruct the return of the cleared first set value.
The return means 106 stores in the set value save means 102 when an instruction to set the first set value stored in the set value save means 102 to the input means 101 is input by the return instruction means 105. The first set value is read out and the first set value is set in the input means 101. Specifically, when the user designates the item “return of setting” shown in FIG. 5, the first setting value stored in the storage unit 5 is read, and the first setting value is stored in the RAM 46. Is written to. Thereby, the menu image is displayed on the touch panel 39 based on the first set value. The menu image displayed at this time is an image before the setting of the input unit 101 is initialized by the initialization unit 103.
The functional configuration of the instruction input device 100 has been described above.

<Operation>
Next, the operation of the instruction input device 100 according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the instruction input device 100. Note that the instruction input device 100 operates when the CPU 44 reads and executes a program stored in the storage unit 5, and therefore, in the following description, the operation subject is referred to as the CPU 44. Here, it is assumed that the copier 1 is already turned on and the CPU 44 is executing a program. Further, it is assumed that a document is placed on the platen glass 2 by the user.

  First, in step A01, the CPU 44 determines whether or not there is an instruction input from the instruction input unit 41 at a constant time interval (for example, every one second). That is, the presence or absence of instruction input is constantly monitored. If there is an instruction input (step A01: YES), the process proceeds to step A02, and it is determined whether or not the instruction is a setting return instruction. If the instruction is a setting return instruction, that is, if a menu item “setting return” is specified (step A02: YES), the process proceeds to step A09. If the instruction is not a setting return instruction (step A02: NO), step Proceed to A03. Here, a case where the process proceeds to step A03 will be described.

In step A03, the CPU 44 updates the setting based on the input instruction. That is, the CPU 44 writes the set value in the RAM 46. If the instruction is an instruction for clearing the setting made so far (step A04: YES), the process returns to step A01. If the instruction is not an instruction for clearing the setting (step A04: NO), step is performed. Proceed to A05.
In step A05, the CPU 44 starts a timer. In step A06, the CPU 44 determines whether or not there is a subsequent instruction input. In step A07, the CPU 44 determines whether or not a timeout has occurred, that is, whether or not the elapsed time counted by the timer has reached a predetermined time (for example, 120 seconds). The CPU 44 performs the determinations of step A06 and step A07 at regular time intervals (for example, at intervals of 1 second). That is, the CPU 44 constantly monitors whether or not there is a subsequent instruction input until the elapsed time reaches a predetermined time. If there is an instruction input in step A06, the process proceeds to step A10. The processing in Step A10 and Step A11 is the same as the processing in Step A03 and Step A04 described above. If it is determined in step A07 that a timeout has occurred, that is, there has been no subsequent instruction input within a predetermined time, the CPU 44 proceeds to step A08.

In step A08, the CPU 44 stores a setting value (first setting value) indicating an instruction already input up to that point in the storage unit 5 (saving of the setting value), and stores a second setting value (for example, in the RAM 46). , Write the initial value) (clear the set value). Thereby, the set value of the instruction input unit 41 is changed to the initial value. Subsequently, a setting save message is displayed on the touch panel 39. In the example of FIG. 5, the setting save message has the content “Reset settings can be restored.” Then, the CPU 44 displays a button of a menu item “return of setting” on the touch panel 39. When the above processing is completed, the CPU 44 returns to step A01 and executes the processing after step A01.
Next, the case where the menu item “return of setting” is designated in step A02 (step A02: YES) will be described. In this case, the CPU 44 proceeds to step A09 and performs the following processing.

In step A09, the CPU 44 first restores the saved set value. That is, the first set value stored in the storage unit 5 is read and written in the RAM 46. Accordingly, the first set value is set in the instruction input unit 41, and the image before the set value is cleared in step A08 is displayed on the touch panel 39. Subsequently, the CPU 44 deletes the image of the setting save message “Reset settings can be restored.” And the image of the menu item “Restore settings”. Then, the CPU 44 displays information indicating that the setting has been restored on the touch panel 39. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image on which information indicating that the setting has been restored is displayed. When the user touches the “close” button in the image, the display is erased. The above is the content of the process in step A09. When this process is completed, the CPU 44 executes the processes after step A05.
The above is the operation of the instruction input device 100 according to the present invention.

  As described above, according to the present invention, an electronic device such as a copying machine having a function of clearing a set value when an instruction is not input within a predetermined time continues even when the set value is cleared. The instruction input can be resumed smoothly.

<Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment described above, when a subsequent instruction input is not performed within a predetermined time after a certain instruction input is performed, the set value set so far is saved, and this set value is restored. However, the present invention can also be implemented in the following forms.
The copying machine 1 in the second embodiment has the same hardware configuration as the copying machine 1 in the first embodiment, but has the following functions. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an operation flow of the instruction input device 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  First, in step B01, the CPU 44 starts a timer and determines whether or not a predetermined time has come. Here, the predetermined time may be a predetermined time or a fixed time interval. When the predetermined time has arrived (step B01; YES), the CPU 44 proceeds to step B02, and the set value (first set value) already set in the instruction input unit 41 up to that point is the second set value. It is determined whether or not. Here, the second setting value may be, for example, a default setting value of the copying machine 1 or a specific setting value set by the user. If the first set value is different from the second set value (step B02; YES), the CPU 44 proceeds to step B03.

  In step B03, the CPU 44 determines whether the job has been executed or whether the first set value has been cleared. Here, the job means that after all the settings desired by the user are completed, the copying machine 1 executes document copying according to the settings. On the other hand, the state in which the first set value is cleared refers to a state in which, for example, the above job is completed and the user clears the set value in the job with respect to the instruction input unit 41. If it is determined that the job has been executed or the first set value has been cleared (step B03: YES), the process proceeds to step B04 to save the set value. That is, the CPU 44 stores the first set value in the storage unit 5.

  According to the above processing, the setting value used for executing the job can be stored in the storage unit 5, and the setting value can be read later and set in the instruction input unit 41 again. As a result, when the user desires to execute a job with the same setting as a job executed in the past, the user does not need to redo the setting required for the job and can execute the job quickly.

<Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the form described above, and can be implemented in various forms. For example, the embodiment described above can be modified as follows.
In the above embodiment, an example of a copier provided with the instruction input device 100 has been described. However, the instruction input device 100 of the present invention may be another electronic device such as an image forming apparatus such as a facsimile machine or a printer, a scanner, or the like. The present invention can be applied to any electronic device such as an image reading device.
In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which an image representing the menu item “return settings” is displayed on the touch panel 39. However, a button for inputting a setting return instruction may be provided on the keyboard 40. . In this case, it is preferable to display a message on the touch panel 39 indicating that the setting can be restored by pressing the button.

In the above embodiment, the example in which all of the first set values set in the instruction input unit 41 are stored in the storage unit 5 has been described, but other modes may be used. For example, only items different from the second set value among the first set values may be stored in the storage unit 5. In this way, the use of the storage area of the storage unit 5 can be minimized.
Further, when the number of items different from the second set value among the first set values is less than a predetermined number, the first set value may not be stored in the storage unit 5. If the number of items specified by the user is small, the effort for setting them again is relatively small. In such a case, the advantage of storing the set value is small. With such a configuration, the use of the storage area of the storage unit 5 can be minimized.
Moreover, you may make it not memorize | store the setting value of the predetermined item among 1st setting values. For example, when a large number of copies (for example, 100) is set as the number of copies, such a large amount of copying is rare. Specifying the number of copies is easier than specifying other menu items. Therefore, it is also preferable not to store the set value of the number of copies.

  The instruction input device 100 may be provided with identifier input means for inputting an identifier for identifying the user, and the input identifier and the first set value may be associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 5. When the menu item “restore settings” is designated, the input of an identifier is accepted, and the first set value corresponding to this identifier is read from the storage unit 5. According to such a configuration, the first setting value can be stored in association with the user, and the first setting value corresponding to the user can be restored.

  In the second embodiment, the user may be able to input a setting value saving instruction to the instruction input device 100. In this case, in step B03, the CPU 44 determines whether or not the job has been executed, whether or not the first set value has been cleared, or whether or not an instruction to save the set value has been input. When it is determined that the job has been executed, the first set value has been cleared, or the set value save instruction has been input (step B03: YES), the CPU 44 proceeds to step B04. Proceed and save the set value. That is, the CPU 44 stores the first set value in the storage unit 5.

  In step B04 of the second embodiment, when the set value is saved, that is, when the first set value is stored in the storage unit 5, information indicating the time (for example, the job start time, the job end time, the set value is saved). Or the like may be stored in association with the first set value, and a plurality of combinations of the time and the first set value may be stored. When the setting is restored, the combination of the time and the first set value stored in the storage unit 5 is displayed on the touch panel 39, and the user can specify a desired setting from the displayed combinations. Like that. In this way, the user can determine the desired setting based on the time and restore the desired setting.
