  The control unit 101C controls the communication unit 105C to transmit the generated setting data CD1 to the terminal device 10A specified by the IP address added to the toolbar data (step S20). The communication unit 105A receives the setting data CD1 transmitted from the terminal device 10C. The control unit 101A stores the received setting data CD1 in the storage unit 102A (step S21).

  Next, for example, when the user D performs an operation of adding a “page processing” button to the displayed second toolbar B2 using the operation unit 104D, the control unit 101D performs the second operation as illustrated in FIG. A “page processing” button BU6 is added to the tool bar B2 (step S22). When the second toolbar B2 is customized, the control unit 101D generates setting data DD2 (see FIG. 8) including the toolbar identifier added to the imported toolbar data, the identifier of the terminal device 10D, button information, and editing information. (Step S23).

  The control unit 101D controls the communication unit 105D to transmit the generated setting data DD2 to the terminal device 10A specified by the IP address added to the toolbar data (step S24). The communication unit 105A receives the setting data DD2 transmitted from the terminal device 10D. The control unit 101A stores the received setting data DD2 in the storage unit 102A (step S15). Here, the setting data DD1 stored in step S11 is overwritten with the setting data DD2 transmitted in step S24.

  Next, when the user A performs the operation of customizing the second toolbar B2 and adding the “border” button to the second toolbar B2, using the operation unit 104A, the control unit 101A, as illustrated in FIG. Then, a “border” button BU7 is added to the second toolbar B2 (step S25).

  Thereafter, when the user A and the user D use the second toolbar B2 including the added button, the user A performs an operation of exporting the second toolbar B2 on the operation unit 104A. The control unit 101A outputs toolbar data in accordance with the performed operation (step S26).

  When the control unit 101A outputs the toolbar data in response to the export operation, the control unit 101A executes a process of generating and transmitting toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D that transmitted the setting data to the terminal device 10A ( Steps S27 to S30).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for generating and transmitting toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D. The control unit 101A acquires the setting data from the storage unit 102A (step SA1), and compares the acquired setting data with the output toolbar data (step SA2). As a result of the comparison, if the content of the second toolbar B2 indicated by the output toolbar data is the same as the content of the second toolbar data indicated by the setting data (NO in step SA3), the control unit 101A outputs the toolbar data output. Is transmitted as it is to the terminal device that has transmitted the setting data (step SA4).

  Further, as a result of the comparison in step SA2, the control unit 101A determines that the content of the second toolbar B2 indicated by the output toolbar data is the same as the content of the second toolbar data indicated by the setting data (YES in step SA3). The tool bar data is copied, and the copied tool bar data is edited based on the setting data (step SA5). When the editing of the toolbar data is completed, the control unit 101A transmits the copied and edited toolbar data to the terminal device that has transmitted the setting data (step SA6).

When the control unit 101A transmits the toolbar data to one terminal device, the control unit 101A determines whether or not the comparison between all the setting data transmitted from the terminal device and the output toolbar data has been completed (step SA7). When the comparison between all the setting data transmitted from the terminal device and the output toolbar data is completed (YES in step SA7), the control unit 101A ends the process of FIG. In addition, when the comparison between all the setting data transmitted from the terminal device and the output toolbar data has not been completed (NO in Step SA7), the control unit 101A acquires the setting data not acquired from the storage unit 102A. Obtain (step SA8), and return the process flow to step SA2.
The above is the flow of processing for generating and transmitting toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D.

Next, the specific processing content of step SA5 will be described. First, the control unit 101A refers to the button information and editing information included in the setting data transmitted from the terminal devices 10B to 10D, and the content of the output toolbar data.
For example, in the second toolbar B2 in FIG. 10, buttons “Convert to PDF”, “Frame”, “Character recognition”, “Sort page”, “Edit”, “Save” are arranged. The setting data BD2 includes buttons “Convert to PDF”, “Character recognition”, “Edit”, and “Save” in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10B. It has been deleted.
When the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and the setting data BD2, the control unit 101A knows that the “page rearrangement” button BU3 has been deleted in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10B. For the toolbar data to be processed, the “page rearrangement” button BU3 is deleted. Further, when the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and the setting data BD2, the control unit 101A knows that the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10B does not include the “frame” button BU7. It is assumed that the toolbar data to be included includes the “border” button BU7.

The setting data CD1 is also provided with buttons “Convert to PDF”, “Character recognition”, “Edit”, and “Save” in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10B. The button BU3 is deleted.
When the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and the setting data CD1, it can be seen that the “page rearrangement” button BU3 has been deleted in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10C. For the toolbar data to be transmitted, the content of the button BU3 for “Page Rearrangement” is deleted. Further, when the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and the setting data BD2, the control unit 101A knows that the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10B does not include the “frame” button BU7. It is assumed that the toolbar data to be included includes the “border” button BU7.

The setting data DD2 includes buttons “Convert to PDF”, “Character recognition”, “Edit”, “Process page”, and “Save” in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10D. This indicates that a button for “Page processing” has been added.
When the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and setting data DD2, the control unit 101A transmits to the terminal device 10D because the button BU6 of “page processing” is added in the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10D. For the toolbar data, the content of the button BU6 “page processing” is added. Further, when the control unit 101A refers to the output toolbar data and the setting data BD2, the control unit 101A knows that the second toolbar B2 of the terminal device 10D does not include the “border” button BU7, and transmits it to the terminal device 10D. It is assumed that the toolbar data to be included includes the “border” button BU7.
If the toolbar data newly output by the terminal device 10A is imported as it is by another device, the user's editing performed on the second toolbar B2 imported by the other device will be discarded. According to the above processing, the toolbar data is edited in accordance with the editing performed by the user, so that the user editing performed on the imported second toolbar B2 is not discarded.

  When the generation of the toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D is finished, the control unit 101A controls the communication unit 105A to transmit the generated toolbar data to the corresponding terminal device 10 (steps S28 to S30).

  When receiving the toolbar data transmitted from the terminal device 10A, the terminal devices 10B to 10D notify that the toolbar data has been received (steps S31 to S33). When the user B to the user D receiving this notification perform an operation of importing the toolbar data, the control unit 101 of the terminal devices 10B to 10D executes a process of importing the toolbar data (steps S34 to S36). As a result, the second toolbar B2 shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the terminal devices 10B and 10C, and the second toolbar B2 shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the terminal device 10D.

  When the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101B generates setting data BD3 (see FIG. 8) (step S37). When the control unit 101C imports the toolbar data, the control unit 101C generates setting data CD2 (see FIG. 8) (see FIG. 8). Step S38). In addition, when the toolbar data is imported, the control unit 101D generates setting data DD3 (see FIG. 8) (step S39).

  The control unit 101B, the control unit 101C, and the control unit 101D transmit the generated setting data to the terminal device 10A (steps S40 to S42). The communication unit 105A receives the setting data BD3 transmitted from the terminal device 10B, the setting data CD2 transmitted from the terminal device 10C, and the setting data DD3 transmitted from the terminal device 10D. The control unit 101A stores the received setting data BD3, setting data CD2, and setting data DD3 in the storage unit 102A (step S43). Here, the setting data BD2 is overwritten with the setting data BD3, the setting data CD1 is overwritten with the setting data CD2, and the setting data DD2 is overwritten with the setting data DD3.

As illustrated in Fig. 5, a color (for example, red) may be added to the background of the button. Further, even if the second toolbar B2 indicated by the toolbar data transmitted from the terminal device 10A and the second toolbar B2 of the own device have the same buttons, the arrangement order is different if the arrangement order of the buttons does not match. You may make it attach a color (for example, yellow) to the background of a button. In addition, when the same buttons are arranged in the same order in the second toolbar B2 indicated by the toolbar data transmitted from the terminal device 10A and the second toolbar B2 of the own device, the background color of the buttons (for example, cyan) You may make it attach.
The user may determine whether or not to import the toolbar data after viewing these displays, and may perform an import operation in the operation unit 104 when importing.

In the embodiment described above, the toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D is transmitted from the terminal device 10A all at once, but the user of the terminal device 10A specifies the transmission destination and transmits the data individually. It may be.
In the above-described embodiment, the toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D is transferred from the terminal device 10A to the terminal devices 10B to 10D when the second toolbar B2 is customized in the terminal device 10A. Although transmitted to each, it is not limited to this structure.
For example, when the user of the terminal devices 10B to 10D performs an operation of requesting the customized toolbar data of the second toolbar B2 with respect to the terminal device 10A, the toolbar of the second toolbar B2 with which the terminal devices 10B to 10D are customized. A message requesting data may be transmitted. When the terminal device 10A receives this message, the terminal device that has transmitted the message using the displayed toolbar data of the second toolbar B2 and the setting data transmitted from the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the message. 10 may be generated, and the generated toolbar data may be transmitted to the terminal device 10 that transmitted the message.

In the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 10A generates the toolbar data corresponding to each of the terminal devices 10B to 10D using the setting data transmitted from the terminal devices 10B to 10D. However, the configuration is limited to this configuration. It is not a thing.
For example, the terminal devices 10B to 10D that have imported the toolbar data to which the identifier of the terminal device 10A is added transmit their identifiers (for example, IP addresses) to the terminal device 10A. The terminal device 10A outputs toolbar data corresponding to the customization performed by the user A, and transmits the output toolbar data to the terminal devices 10B to 10D that have transmitted the IP addresses. The terminal devices 10B to 10D that have acquired the toolbar data transmitted from the terminal device 10A are performed on the second toolbar B2 by the terminal device 10A using the setting data generated by the own device and the acquired toolbar data. It is also possible to generate a second toolbar B2 including the contents of customization and the contents of customization performed on the second toolbar B2 by the own device, and display the generated second toolbar B2.

  In the above-described embodiment, the toolbar data of the second toolbar B2 generated by the terminal device 10A is transmitted to the terminal devices 10B to 10D. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the terminal device 10 that generates toolbar data, receives setting data, and generates toolbar data corresponding to another terminal device 10 may be any one of the terminal devices 10B to 10D.

  The program of each apparatus according to the present invention includes a magnetic recording medium (magnetic tape, magnetic disk (HDD (Hard Disk Drive), FD (Flexible Disk), etc.)), optical recording medium (optical disk, etc.), magneto-optical recording medium, and semiconductor. It may be provided and installed in a state stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a memory. Alternatively, the program may be downloaded and installed via a communication line.
