The server 50 is provided on a general-purpose cloud as an example. Note that “cloud” in the present embodiment means, for example, a computer group existing on a communication path.

  The image forming apparatus 10 has a print function for printing received document data, a scan function for scanning an image on an original document into electronic document image data, and a copy for copying an image on an original document onto a sheet. At least one of a function and an image forming function as a function of processing a document such as a facsimile function for transmitting an image by facsimile is provided. For example, the image forming apparatus 10 has functions such as a copying machine, a printer, a scanner, and a facsimile. The image forming apparatus 10 also has a function of transferring document image data obtained by scanning to the server 50 via the communication path N, a function of browsing data stored in the server 50, and document image data from the server 50. Various functions such as a function of downloading and a function of printing the downloaded document image data may be provided. However, the present invention is not limited to these, and a printer that does not have a scanning function, a scanner that does not have a printing function, and the like are also included in the category of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment.

  As an example, the image forming apparatus 10 includes an image forming unit 12, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20, a storage unit 30, a communication unit 32, and a UI unit (user interface unit) 34. As an example, the image forming unit 12 includes an image reading unit 14, a printing unit 16, and a facsimile unit 18. The CPU 20 controls the operation of each unit of the image forming apparatus 10. The image reading unit 14 scans an image on a document to create document image data representing the image, and stores the document image data in the storage unit 30. The printing unit 16 prints an image on a sheet. The facsimile unit 18 transmits the image by facsimile. The storage unit 30 includes an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like, and stores various programs, control data, document image data, and the like for controlling the image forming apparatus 10. Remember. For example, functions of each unit of the image forming apparatus 10 are executed by executing various programs by the CPU 20. The communication unit 32 is a network interface as an example, and connects the image forming apparatus 10 to the communication path N to transmit data to the server 50 and receive data from the server 50. The UI unit 34 includes, for example, an input device and a display device, and accepts input of various types of information by the user and displays a screen related to image formation. The UI unit 34 is an operation panel as an example.

  Next, an example of a function of the image forming apparatus 10 for setting the storage location of the document image data in the server 50 will be described. The image forming apparatus 10 includes a creation unit 22, a transmission unit 24, a specification unit 26, and a display control unit 28.

  The creation unit 22 creates storage location information (meta information) for specifying the storage location of the document image data. The document image data storage location means a storage destination directory in the storage device 52 of the server 50. The storage location information is information for specifying a directory to be accessed and displayed on the UI unit 34 with priority over other directories of the storage device 52 after logging in to the server 50 from the image forming apparatus 10. For example, when a storage location storage instruction is received from a user while the image forming apparatus 10 is accessing a directory in the storage device 52, the creation unit 22 includes information indicating the address of the accessed directory. (Hereinafter referred to as “address information”), and storage location information including the address information is created. The address information is shown in URL format, for example. Further, the creation unit 22 may include device identification information for identifying the image forming apparatus 10 in the storage location information. The storage device 52 corresponds to an example of a document storage device.

  The transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information created by the creation unit 22 to the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N, and causes the storage device 52 to store the storage location information. For example, the transmission unit 24 stores the storage location information in a directory in the storage device 52 where the user has access authority. As an example, the transmission unit 24 stores the storage location information in a directory instructed to store the storage location.

  When receiving the access request to the server 50, the specifying unit 26 accesses the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N, searches the storage location information stored in the storage device 52, and stores the searched storage Based on the location information, a directory for storing document image data (a directory to be accessed and displayed with priority over other directories) is specified. For example, the specifying unit 26 searches the storage device 52 for storage location information for a directory in which the user has access authority. When the user location information is included in the storage location information, the specifying unit 26 may search the storage device 52 for storage location information including the user identification information of the user who has logged into the image forming apparatus 10. . The specifying unit 26 specifies the directory in which the document image data is stored (the directory that is accessed and displayed with priority over other directories) by referring to the address information included in the searched storage location information.

  The display control unit 28 displays various information on the display device of the UI unit 34. For example, the display control unit 28 causes the display device of the UI unit 34 to display a screen of a directory that is a directory in the storage device 52 of the server 50 and specified by the user. Further, the display control unit 28 causes the display device of the UI unit 34 to display the screen of the directory specified by the specifying unit 26. For example, the display control unit 28 logs the screen of the directory specified by the specifying unit 26 in preference to the other directories of the storage device 52 after logging into the server 50 from the image forming apparatus 10. To display.

  Next, an example of a storage location information storage processing procedure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 schematically shows an example of storage location information storage processing.

  First, the user logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 by inputting device authentication information (user ID, password, etc.) using the UI unit 34 (S01). Then, the user selects the server 50 on the cloud using the UI unit 34, and logs in to the server 50 on the cloud by inputting server authentication information (user ID, password, etc.) (S02).

  Next, using the UI unit 34, the user designates a directory to be accessed with priority over other directories at the next login among the directories having access authority in the storage device 52 (S03). For example, the user designates a directory to be accessed first at the next login. The CPU 20 accesses the designated directory via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N, and displays the designated directory screen on the display unit of the UI unit 34. Referring to FIG. 3, when the user designates the directory C among the directories A, B, and C with access authority, the screen of the directory C is displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34. FIG. 4 shows an example of a directory screen. The display control unit 28 causes the display device of the UI unit 34 to display the screen 100 including the file name 110 and the like of the document image data stored in the directory C. The screen 100 includes, for example, an upload button 120, a print button 130, a storage location button 140, and a history button 150. The upload button 120 is a button for instructing upload of document image data obtained by scanning. The print button 130 is a button for instructing downloading and printing of document image data. The storage location button 140 is a button for instructing storage of the storage location. The history button 150 is a button for instructing display of a directory that has been prioritized in the past.

  When the user instructs storage of the storage location using the UI unit 34 (S04), the creation unit 22 acquires the address information of the currently accessed directory and creates the storage location information including the address information. (S05). Then, the transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information created by the creation unit 22 to the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N, and enters the directory (currently accessed directory) designated as the storage location. The storage location information is stored (S06). 3 and 4, when the user presses the save location button 140 using the UI unit 34 in a state where the screen of the directory C is displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34, the creation unit 22. Creates the storage location information 60 including the address information of the directory C, and the transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information 60 to the directory C of the storage device 52 for storage.

  As another example, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information 60 to a directory higher than the currently accessed directory among the directories to which the user has access authority. It may be memorized.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, an example of the procedure of the storage location information search process will be described. FIG. 7 schematically shows an example of a storage location information search process.

  First, the user logs in to the image forming apparatus 10 by inputting device authentication information using the UI unit 34 (S10). Then, the user selects the server 50 on the cloud using the UI unit 34, and logs in to the server 50 on the cloud by inputting server authentication information (S11).

  When logging in to the server 50, the specifying unit 26 accesses the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N and searches for storage location information stored in the storage device 52 (S12). For example, the specifying unit 26 searches the storage device 52 for storage location information for a directory in which the user has access authority. Then, the specifying unit 26 specifies the storage destination directory of the document image data (the directory to be accessed and displayed with priority over other directories) by referring to the address information included in the searched storage location information. (S13).

  The CPU 20 accesses the directory specified by the specifying unit 26 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N (S14), and the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory on the display device of the UI unit 34 (S15). ). For example, the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory specified by the specifying unit 26 on the display device of the UI unit 34 as the first screen after the user logs into the server 50.

  Referring to FIG. 7, (1) after logging in to the image forming apparatus 10 and the server 50, (2) the specifying unit 26 stores the directories A, B, and C to which the user has access authority. Information 60 is searched. When the storage location information 60 is stored in the directory C, the specifying unit 26 acquires the storage location information 60 from the directory C, and specifies the directory C by referring to the address information included in the storage location information 60. (3) The CPU 20 accesses the directory C, and the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory C on the display device of the UI unit 34 as the first screen after the user logs into the server 50. For example, the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory C shown in FIG. 4 on the display device of the UI unit 34.

  For example, when the user instructs scan upload by pressing the upload button 120 on the screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 4, the image reading unit 14 scans the document. The CPU 20 transmits the document image data obtained by the scan to the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N, and stores the document image data in the directory C of the storage device 52.

  4, when the user designates document image data to be printed out of the document image data stored in the directory C and presses the print button 130, downloading and printing of the document image data is performed. Is done. In this case, the CPU 20 accesses the server 50 and receives document image data stored in the directory C of the storage device 52 and designated by the user from the server 50 via the communication unit 32 and the communication path N. Then, the printing unit 16 prints an image indicated by the document image data acquired from the server 50 on a sheet.

  As described above, storage location information for specifying a directory to be accessed with priority over other directories is stored in the server 50, so that the directory is preferentially displayed when the server 50 is logged in. Is done. As a result, even when the user does not follow the hierarchy to the target directory, the target directory is displayed after logging in to the server 50, compared to the case where the configuration of the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment is not provided. Saves users the trouble of moving to the target directory.

  Further, even when the server 50 is provided on a general-purpose cloud and does not have a function specialized for the image forming apparatus 10, storage location information is created by the image forming apparatus 10 and stored in the server 50. The target directory is accessed and displayed with priority. In this way, even when a general-purpose cloud is targeted, the user's trouble of moving to the target directory can be saved.

  Further, even when the server 50 is accessed from an image forming apparatus different from the image forming apparatus 10 that created the storage location information and stored the storage location information in the server 50, The target directory is preferentially accessed and displayed. That is, since the target directory is specified by searching the storage location information stored in the server 50 by the other image forming apparatus, the target directory is preferentially accessed by the other image forming apparatus. Display. As a result, even when the other image forming apparatus is used, it is possible to save the user from moving to the target directory.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, when storing the storage location information 60 in the directory C instructed to store the storage location, the specifying unit 26 selects the directory C in which the storage location information 60 is stored. Alternatively, it may be specified as a directory for storing document image data (a directory that is accessed and displayed with priority over other directories). In this case, the creation unit 22 may not include the address information of the directory C in the storage location information 60.

  Next, a modified example will be described.

(Modification 1)
The creation unit 22 may include user identification information (such as a user ID) of a user who has logged into the image forming apparatus 10 in the storage location information. In this case, the specifying unit 26 may search the storage device 52 for storage location information including user identification information of a user who has logged in to the image forming apparatus 10. In addition, the transmission unit 24 may transmit and store the storage location information in a shared directory that is not restricted in access in the storage device 52. In this case, the specifying unit 26 searches the shared directory for storage location information including the user identification information of the user who has logged into the image forming apparatus 10, and prioritizes other directories based on the searched storage location information. To specify the directory to be accessed and displayed. In this way, by including the user identification information in the storage location information, even when the storage location information is stored in a shared directory without being stored in the user-specific directory, the storage location information is searched and given priority. Directory to access automatically.

(Modification 2)
After step S15 shown in FIG. 6, when another directory is designated as a directory to be preferentially accessed and displayed, the processes of steps S03 to S06 shown in FIG. 2 are executed. Referring to FIG. 3, after the directory C is preferentially displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34, it is created when another directory B is designated by the user as a directory to be preferentially accessed and displayed. The unit 22 creates storage location information including the address information of the directory B. The transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information to the server 50 and stores the storage location information in the directory B or the upper directory of the storage device 52. In this case, the CPU 20 may delete the previously created storage location information including the address information of the directory C from the directory C or store it in the directory C.

  When the image forming apparatus 10 logs in to the server 50 next time and the storage location information that has been created and includes the address information of the directory C is deleted, the specifying unit 26 acquires the storage location information from the directory B. The directory B is specified by referring to the address information included in the storage location information. Then, the CPU 20 accesses the directory B, and the display control unit 28 causes the screen of the directory B to be displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34 as the first screen after the user logs into the server 50. By deleting the previously created storage location information in this way, the directory specified most recently is preferentially accessed and displayed, thereby saving the user from moving to the target directory.

  On the other hand, when the storage location information including the address information of the directory C created earlier is stored in the directory C, the specifying unit 26 acquires the storage location information from each of the directories B and C, and stores the storage location information in each storage location information. Directories B and C are specified by referring to the included address information. In this case, the display control unit 28 displays the names of the directories B and C specified by the specifying unit 26 on the display device of the UI unit 34. When the user designates a target directory using the UI unit 34, the CPU 20 accesses the directory designated by the user, and the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory designated by the user on the display device of the UI unit 34. Let For example, when the directory C is designated by the user, the CPU 20 accesses the directory C, and the display control unit 28 causes the display device of the UI unit 34 to display the screen of the directory C. As described above, a plurality of storage location information for specifying different directories may be stored in the storage device 52. Even in this case, the user's trouble of moving to the target directory can be saved.

(Modification 3)
Further, the creation unit 22 may include history information indicating a directory designated in the past as a directory to be preferentially displayed in the storage location information. The history information is, for example, address information of a directory designated in the past as a directory to be displayed with priority. In this case, the storage location information includes address information of a directory (referred to as “current directory”) that is preferentially accessed and displayed at the next access, and a directory that is prioritized in the past (referred to as “past directory”). ) Address information. Next, when the image forming apparatus 10 logs in to the server 50, the specifying unit 26 specifies the current directory and the past directory by referring to the storage location information. Then, the CPU 20 accesses the current directory, and the display control unit 28 causes the screen of the current directory to be displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34 with priority over other directories. When receiving a history display request, the display control unit 28 may display a list of past directory names and the like on the display device of the UI unit 34. In this case, when the user designates a past directory using the UI unit 34, the CPU 20 accesses the directory designated by the user, and the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory on the display device of the UI unit 34. Let

  A specific example will be described. For example, after step S15 shown in FIG. 6, when another directory is designated as a directory to be preferentially accessed and displayed, the processes of steps S03 to S06 shown in FIG. 2 are executed. Referring to FIG. 3, after the directory C is preferentially displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34, it is created when another directory B is designated by the user as a directory to be preferentially accessed and displayed. The unit 22 adds the address information of the directory B to the storage location information including the address information of the directory C. Thereby, the storage location information includes the address information of the current directory B and the address information of the past directory C. Then, the transmission unit 24 transmits the storage location information to which the address information of the directory B is added to the server 50, and the storage device 52 stores the storage location information in the directory B or an upper directory. Further, the CPU 20 deletes the storage location information including the address information of the directory C and not including the address information of the directory B from the directory C.

  When the image forming apparatus 10 logs in to the server 50 next time, the specifying unit 26 acquires the storage location information from the directory B and specifies the current directory B and the past directory C. The CPU 20 accesses the current directory B, and the display control unit 28 causes the screen of the directory B to be displayed on the display device of the UI unit 34 with priority over other directories. When the user presses the history button 150 shown in FIG. 4 using the UI unit 34, for example, the display control unit 28 displays the name of the past directory C and the like on the display device of the UI unit 34. At this time, the display control unit 28 may display the name of the current directory B and the name of the past directory C side by side on the display device. When the user designates the past directory C using the UI unit 34, the CPU 20 accesses the directory C, and the display control unit 28 displays the screen of the directory C on the display device of the UI unit 34.

  As described above, history information indicating a directory that has been prioritized in the past is included in the storage location information, so that when a user wants to access a directory that has been prioritized in the past, the user does not have to follow the hierarchy to that directory. Since the directory is displayed, the user's trouble can be saved.

(Modification 4)
In the embodiment and the modification described above, the case where the server 50 on the cloud is connected to the image forming apparatus 10 has been described. However, a terminal device including a storage device such as a personal computer is connected to the image forming apparatus 10. In such a case, the same processing as in the above-described embodiment and modification may be performed. For example, the image forming apparatus 10 may access the terminal device and transmit and store the storage location information for specifying the storage destination directory in the storage device of the terminal device to the storage device of the terminal device. Then, at the next access, the image forming apparatus 10 searches the storage location information stored in the storage device of the terminal device, and preferentially accesses and displays the directory specified based on the storage location information. As described above, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiments and modifications can be obtained even for terminal devices other than the server.
