  Next, contents displayed on the display 17 when the digital multi-function peripheral configured as described above is operated by the touch panel 13 will be described.

  4 to 6 are schematic diagrams for explaining the operation procedure of the digital multi-function peripheral, and schematically show menus, icons, images, and the like displayed on the display 17. 4 to 6 are shown in time series.

  When the digital multi-function peripheral is in a standby state (a state where processing such as copying or facsimile transmission / reception is not performed), a standby screen (not shown) is displayed on the display 17. On the standby screen, for example, the user instructs the start of the operation of the digital multi-function peripheral or instructs the start of various settings. When the start of the operation of the digital multifunction peripheral is instructed on the standby screen, the operation screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 are sequentially displayed on the display 17.

  Since the display 17 is provided with the touch panel 13, the user can select an image by pressing on a screen on which images such as icons and buttons are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the processing executed after being operated on the standby screen is composed of a plurality of steps. The operation screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 are screens for inputting an operation corresponding to each step. On these operation screens, there are formed a history display area 41 for displaying icons representing steps that have been executed and steps that have already been executed, and an operation input area 42 for inputting operations corresponding to the steps being executed.

  First, the contents displayed in the operation input area 42 of the operation screen shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the operation input area 42, first, a message 431 for prompting the user to set a document on the ADF or the document table is displayed. Further, an icon 432 for instructing the digital multifunction peripheral to start reading a document and an icon 433 for returning the display to the standby screen are displayed. The characters “start” and “cancel” are attached to the icons 432 and 433, respectively. Then, when the user selects the icon 432 in a state where the original is set, reading of the original is started, and after the reading is finished, the next step is executed.

  When the icon 432 is selected by the user, icons 441 to 445 indicating the main function of the digital multifunction peripheral to be used are displayed in the operation input area 42 as shown in FIG. The icons 441 to 445 are respectively labeled with “copy”, “fax”, “mail”, “printer”, and “save”. The user operates one of the icons to instruct the digital multi-function peripheral to perform any one of a copy function, a facsimile function, a mail function, a printer function, and a storage function. Then, the next step is executed.

  In the operation input area 42, an icon 446 to which “cancel” is attached is displayed for returning the processing to the previous step. When the icon 446 is selected by the user, the screen shown in FIG.

  When any one of the icons 441 to 445 is selected, the operation input area 42 corresponds to the sub function of the main function selected in FIG. 5, the basic setting of the sub function, etc., as shown in FIG. An icon is displayed. In the present embodiment, a case where the icon 441 is selected and the copy function is instructed on the screen of FIG. 5 will be described.

  In the operation input area 42, icons related to the sub-functions included in the copy function are displayed in a matrix (three rows and four columns in the figure). In the following description, in the vertical direction of the screen of the display 17, it is assumed that the first line and the second line are in order from the screen. Further, in the horizontal direction of the screen, the first and second rows are in order from the left of the screen.

  In each row, icons grouped for each sub-function are arranged. Specifically, icons related to the “booklet” function are arranged in the first line, and icons related to the “aggregation” function are arranged in the second line. In the third row, icons related to the “punch” function are arranged.

  In the first column of each row, an icon indicating the content of the sub function is arranged. For example, the icon 451 arranged in the first column of the first row includes an image schematically showing the “booklet” function together with the characters “booklet”. Further, the icons in the first row of the second row and the third row are respectively marked with “aggregation” and “punch”, and include images schematically showing each sub-function. By visually recognizing the icons in the first column, the user can grasp which row related icons are arranged in which row.

  In the second column, the third column, and the fourth column of each row, icons corresponding to the basic settings of the sub functions are displayed so as to be selectable. For example, icons 452, 453, and 454 arranged in the second, third, and fourth columns of the first row are basic settings of the “booklet” function, that is, “left binding” setting, “upper binding” setting, And an icon for instructing “right binding” setting.

  The icons 452, 453, and 454 include images indicating processing results to be obtained when the icons 452, 453, and 454 are selected. For example, the icon 452 includes a booklet image in which a sheet on which the read image is printed is bound to the left. That is, the user can visually understand the processing result by visually recognizing the images included in the icons arranged in the second, third, and fourth rows. Then, it can be grasped what processing result can be obtained by selecting which icon.

  Each icon is arranged in descending order of the number of times the sub-function and the basic setting are selected in the row direction and the column direction. In each row, icons corresponding to the sub-functions are arranged in the order of “booklet” function, “aggregation” function, and “punch” function based on the table shown in FIG. Further, in the row direction of each row, for example, in the first row, each of the basic settings corresponds to the “left binding” setting, “upper binding” setting, and “right binding” setting in the order shown in FIG. The icons to be arranged are arranged.

As described above, the icons are arranged so as to be related to the sub-functions in the order of high selection frequency, that is, in the order of high possibility of selection by the user. This makes it easier for the user to search for icons related to sub-functions with a high selection frequency, thus improving user convenience. Although FIG. 6 illustrates the case where the main function is a copy function, the main function may be another function.

  In the operation input area 42, vertically symmetrical triangle marks 455 and 456 are displayed on the left side of the icons displayed in a matrix. When the user presses the triangle marks 455 and 456, the icons move up and down on the screen in units of lines, and icons corresponding to other sub-functions that are not displayed in the operation input area 42 are displayed. For example, when the triangle mark 456 is pressed by the user, the icon on the first line is not displayed, and the icons on the second line and the third line move to the first line and the second line, respectively. Then, an icon that is not displayed in the operation input area 42 is displayed in the third line.

  A triangle mark 457 is displayed on the right side of the icon 454 in the first row. When the triangle mark 457 is pressed by the user, icons corresponding to other basic settings that are not displayed in the operation input area 42 are displayed. For example, when the triangle mark 456 is pressed by the user, the icon 452 in the second column is not displayed, and the icons 453 and 454 move to the second column and the third column, respectively. In the fourth column, icons that are not displayed in the operation input area 42 are displayed.

  Thus, the user can select icons that cannot be displayed in the operation input area 42 by selecting the triangle marks 455, 456, and 457.

  Furthermore, in the operation input area 42, an icon 461 for confirming the content selected by the user and moving the process to the next step and an icon 462 for returning the process to the previous step are displayed. The icons 461 and 462 are respectively marked with “confirm” and “cancel” characters. Then, when the user selects an icon 432 in a state where the icon displayed in the setting area 452 is selected, the next step is executed. Further, when the user selects the icon 462, the previous step is executed, and the screen shown in FIG.

  In the operation input area 42, an icon 463 to which “detailed setting” is added is displayed for performing more detailed setting of the sub function. The basic settings corresponding to the icons in the second and subsequent columns in each row have predetermined contents. The user can change the basic setting corresponding to each icon to the desired content by selecting the icon 463.

  Next, the contents displayed in the history display area 41 of the operation screen shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 will be described.

  In the history display area 41, icons indicating the steps being executed and the steps that have been executed are displayed. For example, in FIG. 4, an icon 411 to which “read” is attached is highlighted. Further, in FIG. 5, an icon 411 to which “reading” is attached and an icon 412 to which “function” is attached are displayed. Then, the icon 412 with the characters “function” is highlighted. Further, in FIG. 6, an icon 411 with a “read” character, an icon 412 with a “function” character, and an icon 413 with a “setting” character are displayed. Then, the icon 413 to which “setting” is added is displayed in reverse video.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the icon indicating the step being executed is highlighted. Thereby, the user can grasp the step currently being executed and the step that has been completed first. In addition, the user can grasp which step is currently completed in a series of operations.

  In addition, on the operation screens of FIGS. 4 to 6, an icon 40 with characters “various settings” is displayed so as to be selectable. When the icon 40 is selected, settings of the digital multi-function peripheral, for example, setting of the resolution of the display 17, the resolution for reading the document, and the paper size of the document to be read can be performed.

  Next, the procedure of the operation reception process in the digital multi-function peripheral configured as described above will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation reception process in the digital multi-function peripheral according to the present embodiment.

  The CPU 100 of the digital multi-function peripheral starts the processing shown in FIG. 7 by executing a program stored in the ROM 101. The CPU 100 displays a standby screen (not shown) on the display 17 (S1). When the display 17 displays an image, the display 17 is controlled by the function of the display control unit 150 included in the CPU 100 and displays an image. This is the same in the following description, and the description is omitted.

  Next, when instructed to start the operation of the digital multifunction peripheral on the standby screen, the CPU 100 displays various images shown in FIG. 4 on the display 17 (S2). Then, the CPU 100 determines whether the reception unit 120 has accepted the start of an operation by the user (S3). Specifically, the position acquisition unit 12 acquires the contact position on the touch panel 13 by the user, and the CPU 100 determines whether the contact position acquired by the position acquisition unit 12 matches the position of the icon 432 displayed on the display 17. Determine whether or not. If the positions match each other, the CPU 100 determines that the user's contact with the touch panel 13 is a contact with the icon 432.

  When the start of the operation by the user is not received (S3: NO), the CPU 100 repeats S3. In this case, when the icon 40 or the icon 433 is selected by the user, the CPU 100 executes each process such as display of a setting screen or a start screen. When the start of the operation by the user is received (S3: YES), the CPU 100 displays various images shown in FIG. 5 on the display 17 (S4).

  Then, the CPU 100 determines whether the function selection by the user is accepted by the accepting unit 120 (S5). Specifically, it is determined whether any of the icons 441 to 445 has been selected by the user. When the selection of the function by the user is not accepted (S5: NO), the CPU 100 repeats the process of S5. In this case, for example, when the icon 40 or the icon 433 is selected, the CPU 100 displays the setting screen on the display 17 or returns to the previous step by executing again from S2. .

  When the selection of the function by the user is accepted (S5: YES), the CPU 100 moves the process to S6. In the following description, it is assumed that the copy function is selected in S5.

  In S6, the CPU 100 obtains the number of sub-functions selected by the copy function and the number of basic settings selected for each sub-function from the tables stored in the RAM 102 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) (S6). . Then, the CPU 100 displays various images shown in FIG. 6 on the display 17 based on the acquired number of selections (S7).

  Next, the CPU 100 determines whether or not the accepting operation by the user is accepted by the accepting unit 120 (S8). That is, it is determined whether the icon 461 is selected by the user in a state where any of the icons arranged in a matrix is pressed. When the confirmation operation by the user is not received (S8: NO), the CPU 100 repeats S8. In this case, when another icon is selected by the user, the CPU 100 executes processing corresponding to the icon. For example, when the triangle marks 455, 456, and 457 are selected, the CPU 100 moves the icon as described above.

  When the confirmation operation by the user is received (S8: YES), the CPU 100 updates the number of selections of each sub-function and basic setting based on the selection received by the reception unit 120 (S9). For example, when the “booklet” function is selected and the “left binding” setting is selected, the CPU 100 adds “1” to the value of the corresponding selection number column in the tables shown in FIGS. Then, the CPU 100 stores the updated table in the RAM 102.

  Thereafter, the CPU 100 executes the process by the execution unit 140 in accordance with the parameters selected in each process described above (S10). For example, when the copy function is selected in the process of S5 and the “booklet” function and the “right binding” setting are selected in the process of S8, the CPU 100 reads the original set in the ADF and reads the read image. Is printed in a predetermined layout. Thereafter, the CPU 100 ends the process of FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the icons corresponding to each function and each setting are arranged on the display 17 in the order based on the number of selections selected by the user so far. Accordingly, the user can easily select an execution processing image that is often selected, and can easily select an execution processing image that is convenient for the user. Each icon includes an image to be obtained by selecting the icon and executing processing on the read image. Thereby, the user can grasp what processing result is obtained by selecting which execution processing image is selected. As a result, the user can perform an operation while confirming the processing result.

  In the present embodiment, in FIG. 6, icons of three rows and four columns are displayed on the display 17, but the number of icons to be displayed is not particularly limited. In addition, the icons displayed in a matrix are arranged in an order based on the number of selections of each icon, but the order may not be based on the number of selections. For example, the date and time when each icon is selected is stored. And when displaying the icon corresponding to each function and setting, it arranges in an order from the icon with the most frequency | count selected within the last 6 hours, for example. In this case, convenience for the user when operating the digital multi-function peripheral continuously is improved.

  The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been specifically described above, but each configuration, operation, and the like can be changed as appropriate, and are not limited to the above-described embodiment.
