Description

  The present invention relates to a function execution device capable of executing a specific function, a function execution method, and a recording medium on which a program for executing a specific function is recorded.

  For example, a device having a shortcut function is a device capable of executing various specific functions, such as a printer, a scanner, and a facsimile machine. The shortcut function allows the user to store the setting value necessary for executing the specific function in the storage area in advance, so that the setting value can be called from the storage area and executed quickly when the specific function is executed. It is a function (for example, refer patent document 1).

JP 2008-22183 A

  When using a shortcut function to execute a specific function, depending on the type of the specific function, due to the nature of the specific function, it is necessary to wait for the user to perform an input operation during the shortcut function processing procedure. Such processing may be incorporated. For example, a scanner may register a shortcut function for a scan data transmission function that transmits scanned data to a transmission destination different from the scanner. In this case, in order to prevent erroneous transmission, in the course of executing the shortcut function, a confirmation screen for the transmission destination is displayed and a confirmation input is requested from the user, and when confirmation input is made, the process proceeds to transmission processing in many cases. .

  If a confirmation request or input request as described above is made when the shortcut function is executed, it can give a sense of security to the user, but the time required to complete the specific function as much as the user needs work. Becomes longer.

  Further, depending on the content of the shortcut function to be executed and the usage pattern, even if the content is generally better to incorporate the confirmation work, such a work may not be necessary for the user. As a specific example, there is a case where the same shortcut function is repeatedly executed in a routine work. In such a case, every time the shortcut function is executed, if a user needs to perform a process confirmation operation or an input operation, the user is very troublesome, and usability and operability are poor.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to improve the usability and operability of the shortcut function.

  The present invention made to solve the above problems is a function execution device including an input unit capable of accepting an input operation and a control unit. The control unit includes a registration process, a condition determination process, and an execution process. And can be executed.

  The registration process is a process capable of registering a shortcut function for executing a specific function by a simple procedure that does not perform a process for requesting an input operation to the input unit as a shortcut function for executing a specific function. The condition determination process is a process for determining whether or not a specific confirmation process execution condition is satisfied when an execution instruction for a registered shortcut function is acquired. Execution processing is performed when the confirmation processing execution condition is determined not to be satisfied by the condition determination processing, the shortcut function is executed in a simple procedure, and the confirmation processing execution condition is determined to be satisfied by the condition determination processing. The shortcut function is a process that executes a semi-simple procedure including at least one input request process that requests an input operation indicating permission to execute the shortcut function.

  In the present invention, when a shortcut function is executed, a specific function is usually executed by a simple procedure. However, if a confirmation process execution condition is satisfied, the specific function is executed by a semi-simple procedure. Since the semi-simple procedure includes an input request process for requesting an input operation, a specific function is not executed if no input operation is performed in the input request process. Therefore, execution of an unintended shortcut function can be suppressed. Therefore, according to the present invention, usability and operability of the shortcut function can be improved.

  In addition to the above-described function execution device, the present invention provides a function execution method used in the function execution device, various systems including the function execution device, and each process executed by the function execution device in a computer. It can be realized in various forms such as a program to be executed and a recording medium on which the program is recorded.

(3) Description of Shortcut Function When using the above-described various scan data processing functions, the user usually needs to perform a plurality of procedures. For example, in order to use the scan-to-PC function, at least an input operation for selecting the type of scan-to-PC and an input operation for specifying a destination PC are required. In many cases, a process for allowing the user to confirm the input content is included after each input operation. For example, when the user wants to use the scan-to-Email function, it is necessary to select or input at least a destination mail address. Furthermore, it is necessary to set various setting values during scanning as necessary. Examples of the various setting values include setting values relating to double-sided scanning, color setting, image quality, document size, file format, file size, color correction, and the like. Even when the scan-to-USB function is used, it is necessary to set the various setting values as described above. For this reason, it is very troublesome to execute the above-described various scan data processing functions according to a normal procedure.

  Therefore, in the scanner 10 of this embodiment, the above-described various scan data processing functions can be registered as shortcuts. By executing the registered shortcut, the scan data processing function can be executed with a reduced number of users.

  In the scanner 10 of this embodiment, at least 48 types of shortcuts can be registered in total. In order to register or execute the shortcut, it is necessary to display the shortcut menu screen 41 on the display 22. An example of the shortcut menu screen 41 is shown at the top of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a tab display area 411 and a shortcut button display area 412 are assigned to the shortcut menu screen 41. In the tab display area 411, eight tabs of the first tab to the eighth tab are displayed, and one tab selected by the user is displayed as a selected state. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the leftmost first tab is selected.

  In the shortcut button display area 412, six shortcut buttons corresponding to the selected tab are displayed. That is, six shortcut buttons are assigned to one tab. When the tab is switched, the shortcut buttons in the shortcut button display area 412 are also switched to six shortcut buttons corresponding to the tab after switching.

  There are several types of shortcut buttons. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, registered shortcut buttons 41 a and 41 b to which a specific registered shortcut is assigned and the shortcut can be executed, and a shortcut registration button 41 c to which no shortcut has been assigned yet. and so on. When an input operation for selecting a registered shortcut button is performed, the shortcut assigned and registered to the registered shortcut button is executed.

  Although various operation methods can be adopted as the input operation, in the present embodiment, a tap on the operation target (specifically, a tap on the area where the operation target is displayed on the touch panel 21) will be described as an example. To do. On the shortcut menu screen 41, a general setting button 41d is displayed in the upper right corner. When the general setting button 41d is tapped, the contents of the registered shortcut can be individually edited.

  In the shortcut menu screen 41 shown in FIG. 2, in the shortcut button display area 412, the first registered shortcut button 41a displayed on the lower right side and the second registered shortcut button 41b displayed on the lower center. Each is assigned a scan-to-USB shortcut.

  For example, when the second registered shortcut button 41b is tapped, the assigned scan to USB shortcut is executed. Specifically, first, the initial display screen 42 is displayed for a certain period of time. As shown in FIG. 2, the initial display screen 42 is a screen in which the name of the shortcut is displayed in the shortcut name display area 421 at the center of the screen. By displaying the initial display screen 42 for a certain period of time, the user can recognize a shortcut to be executed.

  After the initial display screen 42 is displayed for a certain time, a confirmation screen 43 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 2, a function execution start button 43a, a setting value change button 43b, and a registration button 43c are displayed on the confirmation screen 43. The confirmation screen 43 has a setting content display area 431. In this setting content display area 431, various setting values relating to the function of the selected shortcut (here, scan to USB) are displayed. The user can confirm the detailed contents of the function to be executed from now on by looking at the information displayed in the setting content display area 431. If the shortcut being executed is a shortcut for executing a function for transmitting scan data to a specific destination different from the scanner 10 such as scan to PC, scan to FAX, or scan to network, a confirmation screen is displayed. In 43, destination information is also displayed. Therefore, the user can confirm whether or not the destination of the shortcut to be executed is the correct destination by looking at the confirmation screen 43.

  In a state where the confirmation screen 43 is displayed, the user can change the setting value by tapping the setting value change button 43b. Note that when the setting value change button 43b is tapped on the confirmation screen 43 after the execution of the shortcut is started, the registered setting value can be changed, but the changed content is valid only for the scan processing function currently being executed. When the scan processing function corresponding to the currently executed shortcut is completed, the changed contents are discarded. However, when the registration button 43c is tapped after changing the setting value, the currently registered setting value is updated to the changed setting value, and thereafter, the changed setting value is used.

  When the confirmation screen 43 is displayed, the display state of the confirmation screen 43 continues unless the user taps the function execution start button 43a. When the user taps the function execution start button 43a, the scan-to-USB function registered as a shortcut is executed, and the display content on the display 22 is switched to the function executing screen 44. As shown in FIG. 2, the function executing screen 44 has an executing function display area 441, and the function being executed is displayed in a simplified manner in the executing function display area 441. While the scan-to-USB function is being executed, the function executing screen 44 is continuously displayed. When the scan-to-USB function ends, the home screen is displayed. The home screen is a screen that is displayed during a specific waiting period such as when the scanner 10 is activated, when a home key (not shown) is pressed, when there is no operation time-out, or when function execution is completed. Note that information regarding the function being executed may be displayed in the function-in-execution display area 441 of the function execution screen 44. In this case, when a function having destination information is being executed, the destination information may be displayed.

(4) Description of the one-touch function By registering a shortcut, a desired scan data processing function can be executed with less effort. However, there are also shortcuts that require user input operations, such as the scan-to-USB shortcut described above. In the present embodiment, most of the shortcuts for the scan data processing function for transmitting scan data to the outside of the scanner 10 display the above-described confirmation screen 43 or a similar screen. Its main purpose is to prevent erroneous transmission. Therefore, the user needs to tap the function execution start button 43a in the confirmation screen 43 when executing a shortcut for transmitting scan data to the outside. Such a confirmation operation is useful in that erroneous transmission of scan data can be suppressed, but is a troublesome operation for the user.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in addition to being able to execute the shortcut in a normal procedure including the display of the confirmation screen 43, the shortcut is executed in a simple procedure in which the display of the initial display screen 42 and the confirmation screen 43 are both omitted. You can also.

  Specifically, the scanner 10 can set the one-touch function to be valid or invalid for each shortcut. The one-touch function is a function for executing a shortcut in a simple procedure. When a shortcut in which the one-touch function is disabled is executed, the corresponding function is executed in a normal procedure. When a shortcut in which the one-touch function is set to be effective is executed, the corresponding function is executed in a simple procedure.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the one-touch function is set to be effective for the shortcut assigned to the first registered shortcut button 41a, and the shortcut assigned to the second registered shortcut button 41b is set. The one-touch function is disabled.

  When the second registered shortcut button 41b is tapped on the shortcut menu screen 41, the scan data processing function assigned thereto is displayed on the initial display screen 42, on the confirmation screen 43, and on the confirmation screen 43. It is executed by a normal procedure including at least three processes of accepting tap input of the execution start button 43a. Note that, as in the above three processes, each process performed after a shortcut button is tapped and before a specific process is actually started is hereinafter referred to as an intermediate process.

  On the other hand, when the first registered shortcut button 41a is tapped, the scan data processing function assigned thereto is executed in a simple procedure in which all the above three intermediate processes are omitted. That is, when the first registered shortcut button 41a is tapped, the scan data processing function assigned thereto is immediately started, and the display content on the display 22 is switched to the function executing screen 44.

  The one-touch function can be enabled / disabled when a shortcut is newly registered or when a registered shortcut is edited. In the case of new registration, a transition can be made from the shortcut menu screen 41 to the registration screen, and new registration can be performed. In the registration process, a selection screen for enabling / disabling the one-touch function is displayed. It can be set by selecting either valid or invalid on the selection screen. When valid is selected on the selection screen, it is notified to the CPU 11 as a setting request. In response to the setting request, the CPU 11 sets the one-touch function to be valid. In the case of editing, the shortcut menu screen 41 can be changed to the editing screen for editing, and the one-touch function can be enabled or disabled during the editing process. Further, whether or not the one-touch function is enabled on the shortcut menu screen 41 can be determined based on the color of the shortcut button. In the present embodiment, for shortcuts for which the one-touch function is enabled, the registered shortcut buttons are displayed in a specific color (for example, green), and the other shortcut buttons are displayed in a color different from the specific color. Is done.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a desired function can be executed in a short time by registering a shortcut, and moreover, the one-touch function can be set to be enabled more quickly (in the present embodiment). All intermediate processes can be omitted). By enabling the one-touch function, the processing procedure at the time of executing the shortcut can be further reduced. In particular, in this embodiment, the confirmation work by the user is not necessary, so that the user's workability and convenience can be improved.

  However, depending on various situations such as shortcut type, execution status, past execution status, etc., even if the one-touch function is enabled, the user who requested confirmation before executing the function just in case May be preferred.

  For example, if an error occurs during the previous execution of a shortcut, the same error may occur or another problem may occur when this shortcut is executed this time. In such a case, it is preferable to prompt the user for confirmation before executing the shortcut. Also, for example, in a certain company, when a shortcut button is tapped to execute a scan-to-USB shortcut, another shortcut button is accidentally pressed. If the shortcut button tapped by mistake is, for example, scan to E-mail, if the destination of the scan to E-mail is within the same company, there is little possibility of a problem even if it is sent by mistake. However, if the destination of the scan to E-mail is outside the company, depending on the destination, there is a possibility that it may be a big problem. Therefore, even in such a case, it is preferable to prompt the user for confirmation before executing the shortcut.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the one-touch function is enabled for the shortcut, if a specific confirmation process execution condition is satisfied, a specific confirmation screen is displayed before the function execution is started, To confirm whether or not to proceed. That is, if the one-touch function is enabled but the confirmation process execution condition is met, the above three intermediate processes performed when the one-touch function is disabled are all omitted, but the specific confirmation The corresponding process is executed in a semi-simple procedure including a process of displaying a screen and waiting for a user input operation. The semi-simple procedure of the present embodiment includes two intermediate processes: a process for displaying a specific confirmation screen and a process for accepting a user input operation on the specific confirmation screen. For this reason, the semi-simple procedure has a smaller number of intermediate processes than the normal procedure when the one-touch function is disabled, but the number of intermediate processes is less than the number of intermediate processes in the simple procedure (0 in the present embodiment). There are many.

  In the present embodiment, a total of 12 conditions of conditions A1 to A6 and conditions B1 to B6 are set as the confirmation process execution conditions. FIG. 3 schematically shows the contents of the conditions A1 to A6. The schematic contents of the conditions B1 to B6 are shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the condition A1 is that the shortcut to be executed has not been executed yet (that is, the first execution after registration) since the shortcut was registered. When the condition A1 is satisfied when the registered shortcut button 41a of the shortcut in which the one-touch function is enabled is tapped (hereinafter simply referred to as “when the one-touch function enabled setting shortcut is instructed”), A first specific confirmation screen 51 is displayed. On the first specific confirmation screen 51, a confirmation message “A selected shortcut has not been executed yet but is it really executed?”, A YES button, and a NO button are displayed. When the user taps the YES button on the first specific confirmation screen 51, the function is executed. When the user taps the NO button, the function execution is stopped and the screen returns to the home screen. Note that the confirmation message corresponding to the established confirmation process execution condition is displayed, the YES button and the NO button are displayed, and the processing content when each of these buttons is tapped. The same applies to the specific confirmation screens 52 to 56 and 61 to 66.

  Condition A2 is that the shortcut to be executed has been changed (that is, edited) in the past, but has not been executed yet (that is, the first execution after changing the setting). . When the execution of the one-touch function enable setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition A2 is satisfied, the second specific confirmation screen 52 is displayed.

  Condition A3 is that the shortcut to be executed is canceled during the previous execution. When the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition A3 is satisfied, a third specific confirmation screen 53 is displayed.

  Condition A4 is that an error occurred during the execution of the shortcut to be executed last time. When the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition A4 is satisfied, a fourth specific confirmation screen 54 is displayed.

  Condition A5 is that the shortcut to be executed has passed for a certain time since the previous execution. When the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition A5 is satisfied, a fifth specific confirmation screen 55 is displayed.

  Condition A6 is that the current network environment of the scanner 10 is changed from the network environment of the scanner 10 when the shortcut to be executed is executed last time. When execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if condition A6 is satisfied, a sixth identification confirmation screen 56 is displayed. In addition, as a case where the network environment has been changed, for example, a case is assumed in which, although it is currently connected to the wired LAN 3, it was connected to the wireless network when the same shortcut was executed last time. In addition, when the scanner 10 is connected to, for example, a wireless LAN, a case where the current SSID is different from the SSID when the same shortcut was previously executed is assumed.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the condition B1 is a function in which the shortcut to be executed transmits data to a specific destination, and other shortcuts having the same destination set as the destination are registered. The one-touch function for other shortcuts for which the same destination is set is disabled. When the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition B1 is satisfied, a seventh specific confirmation screen 61 is displayed.

  Condition B2 is a shortcut for causing the shortcut to be executed to execute scan to email, and is set in the domain name of the destination mail address and the area (for example, company) where the scanner 10 is installed. The in-house domain names are not the same. If the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, and the condition B2 is satisfied, an eighth specific confirmation screen 62 is displayed.

  Condition B3 is that the shortcut to be executed is a shortcut for executing scan to FAX, and the transmission destination number and the registration number registered in the scanner 10 do not match in a predetermined number of digits. The predetermined number of digits can be determined as appropriate. For example, it may be set to a digit corresponding to an area code, or may be set to a digit corresponding to an area code and a city code. If the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, and the condition B3 is satisfied, an eighth identification confirmation screen 62 is displayed.

  Condition B4 is that the shortcut to be executed is a shortcut for executing scan to FAX, and is not a shortcut set and registered from facsimile incoming call history or outgoing call history data. In the scanner 10 of the present embodiment, when facsimile data is received, the caller's number is stored as an incoming call history, and when facsimile data is sent, the callee's number is stored as a call history. Each stored history can be displayed on the display 22. When each history is displayed on the display 22 and a specific number is selected from the list, a call can be automatically made to that number, or a scan to FAX shortcut can be created with that number as the call destination. . That is, shortcut registration in the present embodiment is a mode in which registration is advanced from the shortcut menu screen (hereinafter referred to as “manual input mode”), and a mode in which registration is advanced from the incoming call history or outgoing call history (hereinafter referred to as “history use mode”). It can be performed in either mode. It can be said that the condition B4 is that the shortcut of scan to FAX to be executed is not registered in the history use mode (that is, registered in the manual input mode). If the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, and the condition B4 is satisfied, the ninth specific confirmation screen 64 is displayed.

  Condition B5 is a function in which a shortcut to be executed transmits data to a specific destination, and other shortcuts having the same destination set as the destination are registered. When the execution of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition B5 is satisfied, the tenth specific confirmation screen 65 is displayed.

  Condition B6 is that the fingerprint detected when the shortcut to be executed is registered and the fingerprint detected when tapped this time do not match. When the execution instruction of the one-touch function valid setting shortcut is instructed, if the condition B6 is satisfied, an eleventh specific confirmation screen 66 is displayed.

  When “YES” is tapped on the specific confirmation screen, the function registered in the shortcut is executed, and the function executing screen 44 is displayed on the display 22. As illustrated in FIG. 6, information 44a indicating the content of the function being executed may be displayed. When the function being executed is a function for transmitting data to the outside, the destination information may be included as the information 44a.

  In order to determine whether or not the confirmation process execution condition is satisfied, information according to the condition is required. For example, in order to determine whether the condition B2 is satisfied, it is necessary to acquire the domain name of the destination mail address and the in-house domain name. Therefore, in the present embodiment, detailed information for each shortcut and information of the scanner 10 are stored in the NVRAM 14 of the scanner 10. Specifically, various types of information as shown in FIG. 5 are stored.

  The machine registration information shown in FIG. 5A includes an in-house domain name and a station ID. The station ID is a facsimile number registered in the scanner 10 itself. The destination information of each shortcut shown in FIG. 5B includes destination information necessary for executing the registered function for each shortcut. For example, for a scan to FAX shortcut, a facsimile number and a destination name are included as destination information. Further, for example, for a scan-to-PC shortcut, at least a destination (for example, an IP address) of a destination PC is included as destination information.

  The internal information of each shortcut shown in FIG. 5C includes manual entry presence / absence information, same destination presence / absence information, fingerprint ID, one-touch function information, one-touch function information of the same destination shortcut, and determination for each registered shortcut. Contains a flag. The manual input presence / absence information, the same destination presence / absence information, and the fingerprint ID are set at the time of new registration of a shortcut, and are updated to the latest information according to the contents of the editing each time editing is performed thereafter. The one-touch function information is set according to the valid / invalid setting state of the one-touch function. The one-touch function information of the same destination shortcut is set by directly reflecting the setting contents of the one-touch function in the corresponding other shortcut when the same destination information is set to “present”. The determination flag is set to be valid or invalid in each process described later.

In the fingerprint registration information shown in FIG. 5D, fingerprint data detected at the time of shortcut registration is set in association with the fingerprint ID.
(5) Shortcut Registration / Edit Processing Shortcut registration / edit processing executed by the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 will be described with reference to FIG. When a predetermined input operation for newly registering or editing a shortcut is performed, the CPU 11 starts the shortcut registration / editing process of FIG. When starting the shortcut registration / editing process, the CPU 11 accepts input of various setting values necessary for shortcut registration in S110. A setting input for enabling / disabling the one-touch function is also accepted in S110. In S120, it is determined whether or not input of various setting values necessary for shortcut registration has been completed. When the input is not completed, the process returns to S110, and when the input is completed, the process proceeds to S130.

  In S130, the determination flag is set to be valid. Here, the fact that the determination flag is valid means that the condition A1 or the condition A2 is satisfied among the confirmation process execution conditions. In S140, it is determined whether the fingerprint of the input person has been detected during the input of various setting values necessary for shortcut registration. If no fingerprint is detected (S140: NO), the process proceeds to S160. If a fingerprint is detected (S140: YES), the process proceeds to S150. In S150, fingerprint ID and fingerprint data are additionally registered as fingerprint registration information (see FIG. 5D). That is, the fingerprint data detected at the time of input is set in association with a new fingerprint ID to which no fingerprint data is linked.

  In S160, the destination information of the shortcut being registered or edited (hereinafter abbreviated as “processing in progress”) is compared with the destination information of another shortcut. In S170, based on the comparison result in S160, it is determined whether another shortcut having the same destination information as that of the shortcut currently being processed is registered. If there is another shortcut having the same destination information (S170: YES), the same destination presence / absence information (see FIG. 5C) is set to “present” in S180, and the process proceeds to S200. If there is no other shortcut having the same destination information (S170: NO), the same destination presence / absence information is set to “None” in S190, and the process proceeds to S200. If the shortcut currently being processed is a shortcut that does not require setting of destination information, the process proceeds to S200 without performing the processes of S160 to S190 after the process of S150.

  In S200, it is determined whether the shortcut currently being processed is processed in the manual input mode. In the manual input mode (S200: YES), manual input presence / absence information (see FIG. 5C) is set to “present” in S210, and the process proceeds to S230. If it is not the manual input mode, that is, in the history use mode (S200: NO), the manual input presence / absence information is set to “None” in S220, and the process proceeds to S230.

  In S230, the shortcut destination information (see FIG. 5B) is registered for the shortcut currently being processed. Thereafter, registration or editing of the shortcut is completed through several processes not shown.

(6) Shortcut Execution Processing Next, shortcut execution processing that is repeatedly executed periodically by the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 while the shortcut menu screen 41 is displayed will be described. Here, four examples are given as the shortcut execution process.

(6-1) Shortcut Execution Processing—First Example A first example of the shortcut execution processing will be described with reference to FIG. When starting the process of the first example shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 determines whether or not the one-touch enabled shortcut button has been pressed in S310. The one-touch enabled shortcut button means a shortcut button that is a registered shortcut button and in which the one-touch function is enabled.

  If the one-touch enabled shortcut button has not been pressed (S310: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. Note that when a shortcut button other than the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed, processing corresponding to the pressed button is performed, but description of the processing in that case is omitted. The same applies to each processing of FIGS. 8 to 10 described later.

  When the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed (S310: YES), in S320, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed for the selected shortcut from the previous execution. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a certain time or more has elapsed with respect to the elapsed time from the start of timer measurement in S450 at the previous execution. The timer measurement started in S450 is performed individually for each shortcut. The determination in S320 is a process of determining whether the condition A5 is satisfied among the confirmation process execution conditions.

  If a certain time has elapsed since the previous execution (S320: YES), the determination flag is set valid in S340, and the process proceeds to S350. If the predetermined time has not elapsed since the previous execution (S320: NO), it is determined in S330 whether the network environment has been changed since the previous execution. The determination in S330 is a process of determining whether the condition A6 is satisfied among the confirmation process execution conditions.

  If the network environment has been changed since the previous execution (S330: YES), the determination flag is set to be valid in S340, and the process proceeds to S350. If the network environment has not been changed since the previous execution (S330: NO), the process proceeds to S350. In S350, it is determined whether or not the determination flag is set to be valid. If the determination flag is set to invalid (S350: NO), the process proceeds to S380. If the determination flag is set to be valid (S350: YES), a specific confirmation screen is displayed in S360. Here, that the determination flag is set to be effective means that at least one of the conditions A1, A2, A5, and A6 is satisfied. In S360, a specific confirmation screen corresponding to the currently established condition is displayed.

  In S370, it is determined whether or not execution has been selected on the specific confirmation screen, that is, whether or not “YES” has been selected. If execution is not selected (that is, if “NO” is selected) (S370: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. If execution is selected (S370: YES), the process proceeds to S380.

  In S360, it is possible to appropriately determine how to display the specific confirmation screen when a plurality of confirmation process execution conditions are satisfied at the same time. For example, a specific confirmation screen corresponding to the established condition may be sequentially displayed. The same applies to S560 (FIG. 8) and S760 (FIG. 9) described later.

  In S380, execution of the function registered as a shortcut is started. For example, in the case of scan to PC, a series of processes of instructing document setting, reading the set document, and transmitting the read scan data to the destination-set PC is started. After starting the function execution, in S390, it is determined whether an error has occurred in the function being executed. If an error has occurred (S390: YES), the execution of the function being executed in S430 is stopped, the determination flag is set valid in S440, and the process proceeds to S450. The fact that an error has occurred and the determination flag is set to valid means that the condition A4 has been established.

  If no error has occurred (S390: NO), it is determined in S400 whether or not a stop key has been pressed. When the stop key is pressed (S400: YES), the process proceeds to S430 and subsequent steps. When the stop key is pressed and the determination flag is set to be valid, it means that the condition A3 is satisfied. If the stop key has not been pressed (S400: NO), it is determined in S410 whether or not the function being executed has been completed. If not completed, the process returns to S390, and if completed, the process proceeds to S420. In S420, the determination flag is set to invalid. In S450, timer measurement is started. Timer measurement starts and the shortcut execution process ends.

(6-2) Shortcut Execution Processing—Second Example A second example of the shortcut execution processing will be described with reference to FIG. When starting the process of the second example shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 determines whether or not the one-touch enabled shortcut button has been pressed in S510. If the one-touch enabled shortcut button is not pressed (S510: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. If the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed (S510: YES), the destination information (see FIG. 5B) set for the pressed shortcut button is acquired in S520. In S530, it is determined whether or not an email address is included in the destination information acquired in S520. If the mail address is included (S530: YES), the domain name registered in the destination mail address is acquired in S540.

  In S550, it is determined whether or not the destination domain name acquired in S540 matches the domain name registered as machine registration information in the scanner 10 (see FIG. 5A). If the domain names match (S550: YES), the process proceeds to S610. If the domain names do not match (S550: NO), the process proceeds to S560. The fact that the domain names do not match means that the condition B2 is satisfied. In S560, a specific confirmation screen is displayed. When the process proceeds to S560 due to a domain name mismatch, the specific confirmation screen 62 (see FIG. 4) corresponding to the condition B2 is displayed as the specific confirmation screen. In S570, it is determined whether execution has been selected on the specific confirmation screen. If execution is not selected (that is, if “NO” is selected) (S570: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. If execution is selected (S570: YES), the process proceeds to S610.

  If it is determined in S530 that the destination information does not include a mail address (S530: NO), it is determined in S580 whether the destination information includes a facsimile number. If the facsimile number is not included, the process proceeds to S560. Note that it is possible to appropriately determine what specific confirmation screen is displayed when a negative determination is made in S580 and the process proceeds to S560.

  If the destination information includes a facsimile number (S580: YES), the registered station ID (see FIG. 5A) is acquired in S590. In S600, it is determined whether the facsimile number of the destination information and the station ID match a predetermined number of digits. If the number of digits matches, the process proceeds to S610. If the predetermined number of digits does not match, the process proceeds to S560. The fact that the predetermined number of digits does not match means that the condition B3 is satisfied. Therefore, when a negative determination is made in S600 and the process proceeds to S560, a specific confirmation screen 62 corresponding to the condition B3 is displayed.

In S610, the function registered as a shortcut is executed. After the function execution is completed, the shortcut execution process is terminated.
(6-3) Shortcut Execution Processing—Third Example A third example of the shortcut execution processing will be described with reference to FIG. When starting the process of the third example shown in FIG. 9, the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 determines whether or not the one-touch enabled shortcut button has been pressed in S710. If the one-touch enabled shortcut button has not been pressed (S710: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. When the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed (S710: YES), internal information (see FIG. 5C) set for the pressed shortcut button is acquired in S720. In S730, the setting state of the manual input presence / absence information is determined based on the internal information acquired in S720. If the manual input presence / absence information is “present”, the process proceeds to S760. The fact that the manual input presence / absence information is set to “present” means that the condition B4 is satisfied. If the manual input presence / absence information is “none”, the process proceeds to S740.

  In S740, the setting state of the same destination presence / absence information is determined based on the internal information acquired in S720. If the same destination presence / absence information is “present”, the process proceeds to S760. The fact that the same destination presence / absence information is set to “present” means that the condition B5 is satisfied. If the same destination presence / absence information is “none”, the process proceeds to S750.

  In S750, the setting state of the one-touch function information of the same destination is determined based on the internal information acquired in S720. If the one-touch function information of the same destination is set to invalid, the process proceeds to S760. The fact that the one-touch function information of the same destination is set to invalid means that the condition B1 is satisfied. If the one-touch function information of the same destination is set to be valid, the process proceeds to S780.

  In S760, the specific confirmation screen according to the determination result of S730-S750 is displayed. In S770, it is determined whether execution has been selected on the specific confirmation screen. If execution is not selected (that is, if “NO” is selected) (S770: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. If execution is selected (S770: YES), the process proceeds to S780. In S780, the shortcut registered function is executed. After the function execution is completed, the shortcut execution process is terminated.

(6-4) Shortcut Execution Processing—Fourth Example A fourth example of the shortcut execution processing will be described with reference to FIG. When starting the process of the fourth example shown in FIG. 10, the CPU 11 of the scanner 10 determines whether or not the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed in S810. If the one-touch enabled shortcut button has not been pressed (S810: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. If the one-touch effective shortcut button is pressed (S810: YES), it is determined in S820 whether or not a fingerprint is detected when the one-touch effective shortcut button is pressed.

  If no fingerprint is detected (S820: NO), the shortcut execution process is terminated. If a fingerprint is detected (S820: YES), the internal information (see FIG. 5C) set for the pressed shortcut button is acquired in S830. In S840, fingerprint data corresponding to the set fingerprint ID is acquired based on the internal information acquired in S830. The fingerprint data is stored as fingerprint registration information (see FIG. 5D) for each fingerprint ID.

  In S850, it is determined whether or not the acquired fingerprint data matches the fingerprint detected when the one-touch enabled shortcut button is pressed. If they match (S850: YES), the process proceeds to S880. If the fingerprints do not match (S850: NO), the process proceeds to S860. The fact that the fingerprints do not match means that the condition B6 is satisfied. Therefore, in S860, the specific confirmation screen 66 corresponding to the condition B6 is displayed.

  In S870, it is determined whether execution has been selected on the specific confirmation screen. If execution is not selected (that is, if “NO” is selected) (S870: NO), the shortcut execution process ends. When execution is selected (S870: YES), the process proceeds to S880. In S880, the function registered as a shortcut is executed. After the function execution is completed, the shortcut execution process is terminated.

(7) Effects of the Embodiment According to the scanner 10 of the present embodiment described above, the shortcut can be executed by a simple procedure having a smaller number of processes than the normal procedure by enabling the one-touch function. More specifically, when the one-touch function is set to be effective, if the confirmation process execution condition is not satisfied, the shortcut is executed with a simple procedure having the smallest number of processes. In the simple procedure, all intermediate processes until the start of function execution are omitted, and the function execution is started immediately without requiring the user's input operation. Therefore, the shortcut can be executed more quickly.

  On the other hand, if the confirmation process execution condition is satisfied, the shortcut is executed in a semi-simple procedure. That is, even if the one-touch function is set to be valid, the specific confirmation screen is displayed, the user's confirmation input is waited, and the function is executed when there is an input to be executed by the user. The function execution is not started unless there is an input from the user on the specific confirmation screen. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately and efficiently prevent an unintended shortcut function from being erroneously executed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, in the simple procedure when the one-touch function is valid, the function is executed without user confirmation or input operation. For this reason, if an instruction to execute the shortcut function is given by mistake, it may be executed without noticing the error. In this embodiment, a shortcut can be registered for the function of transmitting scan data to the outside. Therefore, if such a shortcut is executed by mistake, there may be a problem depending on the destination or the content of the transmission data.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, a plurality of conditions are set as the confirmation process execution conditions for the purpose of preventing erroneous transmission of scan data. For this reason, even if the one-touch function is set to be valid, the specific confirmation screen is displayed as necessary, so that erroneous transmission of data can be appropriately suppressed.

  However, in this embodiment, even when data is transmitted to the outside of the scanner 10, if the transmission destination is within a specific range, the specific confirmation screen is not displayed. For example, even for a scan to email shortcut, if the destination is within the same domain (for example, within the same company), the function is executed in a simple procedure without displaying the specific confirmation screen. In this way, even if the function to be executed is data transmission to the outside, the display and non-display of the specific confirmation screen are appropriately switched according to the transmission destination, so that excessive confirmation work can be suppressed and the user's Usability can be further improved.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, whether to display the specific confirmation screen is determined according to the past execution state of the shortcut function. Specifically, the determination is made based on the established states of the conditions A3 to A6. Further, whether or not to display the specific confirmation screen is determined depending on whether or not the shortcut has already been executed since it was newly registered or edited. Specifically, the determination is made based on the established state of the conditions A1 and A2. In addition, as described as the conditions B1 to B6, the shortcut registration method, the presence / absence of other shortcuts having the same destination information, fingerprint authentication, the comparison between the destination facsimile number and the station ID, the other having the same destination information Whether or not to display the specific confirmation screen is determined based on the setting state of the one-touch function in the shortcut.

  In this way, various confirmation processing execution conditions are set, and whether to execute a shortcut in a simple procedure or a semi-simplified procedure when the one-touch function is enabled is determined according to whether or not the confirmation process is established. Thus, execution of an unintended shortcut function can be appropriately suppressed.
