The touch panel 17 is provided so as to overlap the LCD 18 and inputs setting information and instructions to the mobile terminal 10. The LCD 18 displays various operation screens and images based on the selected data. The memory card I/F 19 is an interface to which the non-volatile memory card 20 is attached, and controls writing or reading of data with respect to the memory card 20. The memory card 20 is, for example, an SD card (registered trademark). In the case of the present embodiment, the application 14b converts the scan data received from the device 30 into a PDF format file (hereinafter also referred to as PDF data) or a JPEG format file (hereinafter also referred to as JPEG data). , Memory card 20. The format of PDF data is a data structure that can create one PDF data including multiple pages. The JPEG data format is a data structure that cannot include multipages. Here, the multi-page is data of a plurality of pages.

The voice input/output unit 21 is a voice input/output device including a microphone and a speaker, and the telephone network communication unit 22 is a circuit for performing communication via the mobile telephone network 100. The mobile phone network 100 is a communication network of IMT-2000 (abbreviation of International Mobile Telecommunication-2000) system, and enables the mobile terminal 10 to use a voice call.

Each application installed in the mobile terminal 10 calls the API of the OS 14a to perform wireless LAN transmission/reception unit 15, operation keys 16, touch panel 17, LCD 18, memory card I/F 19, voice input/output unit 21, telephone network communication. The data to be passed to each component of the mobile terminal 10, such as the unit 22, is output to the OS 14a. This application includes the application 14b. That is, each application controls each component of the mobile terminal 10 by calling the API of the OS 14a. Further, each application calls the API of the OS 14a and acquires from the OS 14a the data output by each component of the mobile terminal 10 and the data indicating the state of each component. That is, by calling the API of the OS 14a, data indicating the state of each component of the mobile terminal 10 is acquired from the OS 14a. The state of each component of the mobile terminal 10 also includes the state of operation input to the mobile terminal 10. The OS 14a may also notify each application of data output by each component of the mobile terminal 10 or data indicating the state of each component, periodically or each time the state of each component changes. That is, each application acquires data indicating the state of each component of the mobile terminal 10 from the OS 14a by receiving the notification from the OS 14a.

The device 30 is a multi-function peripheral having a printer function, a scan function, a copy function, etc., and includes a wireless LAN transmission/reception unit (not shown) configured similarly to the wireless LAN transmission/reception unit 15 of the mobile terminal 10, and an access point.

Send.

Here, the definitions of the words "data" and "information" are described. In “data” and “information”, “information” is used as a superordinate concept of “data”. Therefore, "A data" may be paraphrased as "A information". Further, “B data” duplicated or converted from “A data” is “A information” as long as it has the same meaning as “A data”.

The sharing function realized by using the API of the OS 14a of the mobile terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The sharing function is a function of causing the application selected as the data output destination to process the data output by the data output source application. The sharing function includes an implicit sharing function and an explicit sharing function. FIG. 2A is a diagram for explaining the implicit sharing function, and in the case where the application of the data output source (hereinafter, also referred to as the sharing source application 60) requests the OS 14a to execute the implicit sharing function. Shows the flow of processing in.

As shown in FIG. 2A, in the implicit sharing function, the sharing source application 60 calls the API of the OS 14a and requests execution of the sharing function (1). This request includes a URI (abbreviation of Uniform Resource Identifier) of data (hereinafter also referred to as shared data) to be processed by another application by the sharing function, a type, and an action. The URI is information indicating the location of the shared data, and in the case of the present embodiment, the URI is composed of a file path. The type is information that specifies the format of shared data, and the action is information that specifies the type of processing. The OS 14a uses the type and the action notified from the sharing source application 60 as search conditions, and selects the application of the data output destination from all the applications installed in the mobile terminal 10 (hereinafter, also referred to as all the applications 62). A candidate that can be (hereinafter, also referred to as a sharing destination application 64) is searched (2).

Each application installed in the mobile terminal 10 declares in advance a type that specifies a format that can be processed by the application itself and an action that specifies the type of processing that can be executed. Therefore, the OS 14a searches all the applications 62 using the type and action notified from the sharing source application 60 as search conditions. Then, an application that can process the data in the format specified by the type notified from the sharing source application 60 and that corresponds to the type of processing specified by the action notified from the sharing source application 60 is extracted, and its identification is performed. Obtain information (3). However, the types and actions declared by each application can be freely set by the developer of each application. Therefore, each application may declare an action that cannot be actually executed as an action. Therefore, the “application corresponding to the type of processing specified by the action notified from the sharing source application 60” is an application that declares the same action as the action notified from the sharing source application 60. It means that it does not require that the processing can be actually executed.

Next, the OS 14a causes the LCD 18 to display a list of applications found by the search, that is, applications that are candidates for the sharing destination application 64 (4). Then, when the user selects any one from the list (5), the OS 14a activates the selected sharing destination application 64 and sets the screen of the sharing destination application 64 in the foreground (also referred to as the front), and the sharing source application 60 The URI, type, and action of the shared data notified from is notified (6).

As a result, the screen of the sharing destination application 64 selected by the user is displayed in the foreground, and the sharing destination application 64 accesses the shared data specified by the notified URI and performs processing according to the value of the action. For example, various processes that can be executed by the sharing destination application 64 are performed, such as displaying and outputting, sending by attaching to an e-mail, and editing.

FIG. 2B is a diagram for explaining the explicit sharing function and shows the flow of processing when the sharing source application 60 requests the OS 14a to execute the explicit sharing function.

As shown in FIG. 2B, in the explicit sharing function, the sharing source application 60 calls the API of the OS 14a and requests to display a list of candidates for the sharing destination application 64 (21). This request includes the type of shared data and the action. The OS 14a searches for candidates for the sharing destination application 64 from all the applications 62 installed in the mobile terminal 10 using the type and action notified from the sharing source application 60 as the search conditions (22), and searches for the sharing condition. The identification information of the application that satisfies the condition is acquired (23).

Next, the OS 14a causes the LCD 18 to display a list of candidates for the sharing destination application 64 found by the search (24). Then, when the user selects any one (25), the OS 14a returns an intent including the identification information of the selected application and the type and action used as the search condition (26). On the other hand, when the sharing source application 60 receives the intent from the OS 14a, the sharing source application 60 calls the API of the OS 14a, specifies the identification information of the selected application included in the intent, the URI of the shared data, the type, and the action, and shares the shared application. Request execution of the function (27). The OS 14a activates the sharing destination application 64, which is the application designated by the sharing source application 60, sets the screen of the sharing destination application 64 in the foreground, and sets the URI and the type of the shared data notified from the sharing source application 60. , Action and notification (28).

That is, a sharing function of notifying the sharing destination application 64 of the sharing source application 60 and notifying the OS 14a of the URI of shared data is called an implicit sharing function, and the sharing source application 60 specifies the sharing destination application 64. The sharing function of notifying the OS 14a of the URI of shared data is called an explicit sharing function. The application 14b will be described as using the explicit sharing function of the OS 14a.

5 to 7 are flowcharts showing main thread processing executed by the CPU 11 of the mobile terminal 10 according to the present application 14b. This process is started when the user gives an instruction to execute a scan from the operation acceptance screen (not shown) of the application 14b. It should be noted that the respective steps shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 to 8 described below are described as being executed by the CPU 11 by the application 14b or executed by the CPU 11 using the function of the OS 14a by the application 14b. .. However, the steps included in each flowchart may be partially replaced with the steps that the OS 14a and other applications cause the CPU 11 to execute. Further, it may be partially replaced with the step realized by the operation of the hardware itself provided in the mobile terminal 10 regardless of the involvement of the CPU 11.

In S105, the CPU 11 displays the scan screen 70 on the LCD 18. FIG. 3 shows an example of the scan screen 70. The scan screen 70 includes a scan image 71, a page display area 72, a share button 74, and a scan button 76. The scan image 71 is an image corresponding to scan data. Before execution of the scan processing, a scan image 71 (for example, a character string such as “No Image”) indicating that scan data has not been generated may be displayed.

The page display area 72 includes the total number of pages of the original read by the device 30, and a page number indicating which page of the originals of the scanned image 71 currently displayed is the original image. This is the area to be displayed. The share button 74 is an area for inputting an instruction to execute the share function.

The scan button 76 is an area for inputting a scan process execution instruction. When the user touches the scan button 76, the scan process execution instruction information for the device 30 is transmitted to the device 30 via the wireless LAN transmission/reception unit 15.

In S110, the CPU 11 determines whether the input of the sharing execution instruction has been accepted. The determination may be made depending on whether or not the sharing button 74 on the scan screen 70 is touched. When a positive determination is made (S110: YES), the process proceeds to S115.

In S115, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the format selection screen 77. FIG. 4A shows a screen example of the format selection screen 77. The format selection screen 77 includes a format selection area 78. The format selection area 78 is an area for accepting selection of either the PDF format or the JPEG format. The user selects a format in which the scan data is to be shared by another application, and performs a selection operation of touching an option of the selected format. In the format selection screen 77, the share button 74 and the scan button 76 may be grayed out, so that the user operation cannot be accepted.

In S120, the CPU 11 determines whether the shared data format has been selected. The determination may be made depending on whether or not the format selection area 78 is touched. When it is determined that the JPEG format is selected (S120:JPEG), the process proceeds to S130.

In S130, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there are multiple JPEG-compatible applications that are applications capable of processing multiple JPEG data. Specifically, the CPU 11 requests the OS 14a to search for an application that can process data in the JPEG format and that corresponds to the action of "SEND_MULTI". Note that "SEND_MULTI" is an action declared only by a multiple JPEG compatible application. When the information including the identification information of the multiple JPEG compatible applications is returned from the OS 14a, it is determined that the multiple JPEG compatible applications are present, and the OS 14a returns the information including the identification information of the applications compatible with the multiple JPEG compatible applications. If not, it is determined that there is no batch processing application. An example of the information including the application identification information is the application name included in the intent in the Android (registered trademark) OS. When the application compatible with a plurality of JPEGs is not found (S130: NO), the process proceeds to S135.

In S135, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display a warning display regarding scanning of a plurality of pages. The warning display may be, for example, a character string such as "When scanning multiple pages, it may not be possible to share all of the multiple pages." Further, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display an OK button and a cancel button (not shown). In S137, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a user input has been accepted. When it is determined that the cancel button is touched (S137: cancel), the process returns to S110, and when it is determined that the OK button is touched (S137: OK), the process proceeds to S140.

In S140, the CPU 11 displays the sharing destination application list screen 81 on the LCD 18. FIG. 4B shows a screen example of the sharing destination application list screen 81. The sharing destination application list screen 81 is a screen showing a list of applications that can be selected as data output destinations by the sharing function. On the sharing destination application list screen 81, application names 82 to 85 are displayed. Names 82 and 83 are names of multiple JPEG compatible applications. The names 84 and 85 are the names of single JPEG compatible applications. The single JPEG-compliant application is an application that can process only one page of data.

A specific processing example in S140 will be described. The application 14b calls the API of the OS 14a, specifies the type of the processing target format and the action, and requests the list display of candidates of the sharing destination application 64. At this time, the OS 14a is searched for an application capable of processing the data in the JPEG format and corresponding to the action of “SEND_MULTI” or “SEND”, and displays the list on the sharing destination application list screen 81. Request it. That is, the processing shown in FIG. 2 (21) is executed. Here, “SEND_MULTI” is an action specified when the scan data is JPEG data of multiple pages. “SEND” is an action designated when the scan data is JPEG data of a single page. On the other hand, the OS 14a that has received the list display request searches the candidates for the sharing destination application 64 (FIG. 2) and causes the LCD 18 to display the sharing destination application list screen 81 listing the names 82 to 85 of the found applications. As a result, the user can select an application capable of processing JPEG data from the sharing destination application list screen 81.

In S143, the CPU 11 determines whether the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. Specifically, when the intent including the identification information of the sharing destination application 64 selected on the sharing destination application list screen 81 is received from the OS 14a, it is determined that the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. When a negative determination is made (S143: NO), the process returns to S143, and when an affirmative determination is made (S143: YES), the process proceeds to S145.

In S145, the CPU 11 determines whether the selected sharing destination application 64 is a multi-JPEG compatible application. When a positive determination is made (S145: YES), the process proceeds to S150. In S150, the CPU 11 causes the flash memory 14 to store share destination application identification information indicating that a plurality of JPEG compatible applications are selected as the share destination application 64. Then, the process returns to S110. The sharing destination application identification information may be, for example, ID information for identifying the application type of the sharing destination application 64. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in S145 (S145: NO), the process proceeds to S155. In step S155, the CPU 11 causes the flash memory 14 to store share destination application identification information indicating that a single JPEG-compatible application is selected as the share destination application 64. Then, the process returns to S110.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S120 that the PDF format is selected (S120:PDF), the process proceeds to S125.

In S125, the CPU 11 displays a list of PDF compatible application names on the sharing destination application list screen 81. The PDF compatible application is an application capable of processing data of a plurality of pages. This allows the user to select an application capable of processing PDF data from the sharing destination application list screen 81. Since the processing content of S125 is the same as the processing content of S140 described above, description thereof will be omitted.

In S127, the CPU 11 determines whether the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. When a negative determination is made (S127: NO), the process returns to S127, and when an affirmative determination is made (S127: YES), the process proceeds to S129. In S129, the CPU 11 causes the flash memory 14 to store sharing destination application identification information indicating that the PDF compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64. Then, the process returns to S110.

If a negative determination is made in S110 (S110: NO), the process proceeds to S170. In S170, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the input of the scan execution instruction has been received. The determination may be made based on whether or not the scan button 76 on the scan screen 70 is touched. When a positive determination is made (S170: YES), the process proceeds to S173.

In S173, the CPU 11 activates a scan execution thread. The scan execution thread is a thread that is processed in parallel with the main thread. The processing contents of the scan execution thread will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S175, the CPU 11 transmits the scan execution instruction information to the device 30 via the wireless LAN transmission/reception unit 15. In response to receiving the scan execution instruction information, the device 30 scans the document to generate scan data, and transmits the scan data to the mobile terminal 10. The scan data may be non-compressed or lossless-compressed RAW image data, or image data lossy-compressed in the JPEG format or the like. When there are a plurality of originals, the scan processing is executed one by one to generate scan data one by one. Every time the device 30 generates one scan data, the generated one scan data is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 via the access point 50. Then, when the device 30 detects that the scanning process of all the documents is completed, the device 30 transmits the job completion information to the mobile terminal 10. When the device 30 has an ADF (Auto Document Feeder), a plurality of originals may be automatically read. Then, the job completion information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 in response to detecting that all the documents set in the ADF have been scanned. On the other hand, when the device 30 does not include the ADF, the user may place the documents on the flatbed one by one and execute the scan. Then, the job completion information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 in response to the input of the scan end instruction. The scan end instruction may be input by, for example, touching the scan end button by the user.

In S177, the CPU 11 resets the number of received pages stored in the RAM 13 to "0". In S180, the CPU 11 determines whether scan data for one page has been received from the device 30. When a negative determination is made (S180:NO), the process returns to S180, and when an affirmative determination is made (S180:YES), the process proceeds to S185. In S185, the CPU 11 increments the number of received pages stored in the RAM 13.

In S190, the CPU 11 determines whether the scan data for all pages have been received. The determination determines whether the job completion information is received from the device 30. For example, if the job completion information is not received within a predetermined time period after the completion of receiving the scan data for one page is detected in S180, it is determined that the job completion information is not received. You may judge. When a negative determination is made (S190: NO), the process proceeds to S193.

In S193, the CPU 11 determines whether the scan data received this time in S180 is the scan data of the first page. The determination may be made based on the number of received pages described above. When a negative determination is made (S193: NO), the process returns to S180 to receive the scan data of the next page. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made (S193: YES), the flow proceeds to S195.

In step S195, the CPU 11 does not receive the job completion information after receiving the scan data of the first page, and thus predicts that the scan data of the second page and thereafter will be transmitted in the future. In other words, it is predicted that the received scan data has multiple pages. Therefore, the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of the characteristic information indicating that the received scan data has a plurality of pages. The characteristic information is information regarding the execution characteristic of the scan process performed by the device 30. Then, the process returns to S180 to receive the scan data of the next page.

On the other hand, if an affirmative decision is made in S190 (S190: YES), the operation proceeds to S200. In S200, the CPU 11 determines whether the number of pages of the scan data received from the device 30 is one page. The determination may be made based on the number of received pages described above. When an affirmative determination is made (S200: YES), the process proceeds to S205, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that scan data of a single page has been received due to the completion of scan processing. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made (S200: NO), the process proceeds to S210, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of the characteristic information indicating that the scan data of a plurality of pages has been received due to the completion of the scan process. Then, the scan execution thread is terminated.

In S240 of FIG. 6, the CPU 11 determines whether the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. The determination may be made in S129, S150, or S155 depending on whether the sharing destination application identification information is stored in the flash memory 14. When a positive determination is made (S240: YES), the process proceeds to S245.

In S245, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications are selected as the sharing destination application 64 based on the sharing destination application identification information. When a positive determination is made (S245: YES), the process proceeds to S265, and when a negative determination is made (S245: NO), the process proceeds to S250.

In S250, the CPU 11 determines whether the scan data received from the device 30 has a plurality of pages. The determination may be made based on the characteristic information notified in S195, S205 or S210. When a negative determination is made (S250: NO), the process proceeds to S265. On the other hand, if an affirmative decision is made (S250: YES), the flow proceeds to S255.

In S255, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display a warning error indicating that the single JPEG-compatible application selected by the user does not support scan data of a plurality of pages. Further, the sharing destination application list screen 81 for accepting the reselection of the sharing destination application 64 is displayed on the LCD 18. At this time, the CPU 11 may display only the names 82 and 83 of the multiple JPEG compatible applications on the LCD 18.

In S260, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the sharing destination application 64 has been reselected. The specific processing content is the same as the processing content in S143 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted. When a negative determination is made (S260: NO), the process returns to S260, and when an affirmative determination is made (S260: YES), the process proceeds to S265.

In step S265, the CPU 11 executes a sharing process that causes the sharing destination application 64 to share the scan data. Specifically, the CPU 11 calls the API of the OS 14a, the identification information of the sharing destination application 64, the URI of shared data that is one or more scan data, the type of "JPEG" or "PDF", "SEND_MULTI", or The action of "SEND" is specified to request the OS 14a to execute the explicit sharing function. When the multiple JPEG compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64, the CPU 11 creates a plurality of JPEG data by creating one JPEG data from each of the plurality of scan data. When a single JPEG-compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64, the CPU 11 creates one piece of JPEG data from one piece of scan data. When the PDF compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64, the CPU 11 creates one PDF data including one page or a plurality of pages of data from one or a plurality of scan data.

In S267, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display information indicating that the process of sharing all the scan data with the sharing destination application 64 is completed. At this time, the thumbnail image represented by the scan data finally shared by the sharing destination application 64 may be displayed on the LCD 18. In S270, the CPU 11 erases the sharing destination application identification information from the flash memory 14. Then, the flow ends.

Moreover, when a negative determination is made in S240 (S240: NO), the process proceeds to S280. In S280, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the format selection screen 77. Since the processing content of S280 is similar to the processing content of S115 described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

In S285, the CPU 11 determines whether the shared data format is selected. When it is determined that the JPEG format is selected (S285:JPEG), the process proceeds to S295.

In S295, the CPU 11 determines whether the scan data received from the device 30 is a plurality of pages. When a positive determination is made (S295: YES), the process proceeds to S300, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display only the names 82 and 83 of the multiple JPEG compatible applications. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made (S295: NO), the CPU 11 proceeds to S305, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the names 82 and 83 of the plural JPEG-compatible applications and the names 84 and 85 of the single JPEG-compatible application. Since the processing content of S295 has already been described in S140, the description thereof will be omitted here.

If it is determined in S285 that the PDF format is selected (S285:PDF), the process proceeds to S290. In S290, the CPU 11 displays a list of PDF compatible application names on the sharing destination application list screen 81. Then, the process proceeds to S310.

In S310, the CPU 11 determines whether the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. When a negative determination is made (S310: NO), the process returns to S310, and when an affirmative determination is made (S310: YES), the process proceeds to S335. Since the processing contents of S335, S337, and S340 are the same as the above-described processing contents of S265, S267, and S270, the description thereof will be omitted.

<Effect>
According to the device control application 14b described in this specification, the scan execution thread is activated (S170: YES, S173) to cause the device 30 to generate scan data (S175), and the generated scan data. Can be obtained from the device 30 (S180). Then, before acquiring all the scan data of a plurality of pages from the device 30 (S190: NO), it is predicted whether or not the generated scan data has a plurality of pages, and when it is predicted that a plurality of pages exist. , It is possible to notify the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the received scan data has a plurality of pages (S195). Then, when the selection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted (S240: NO), if the acquired characteristic information indicates the execution characteristic that the scan data has a plurality of pages (S295: YES), a plurality of JPEGs are displayed. The corresponding application can be displayed on the LCD 18 as a candidate for the sharing destination application 64 (S300). If the acquired characteristic information indicates the execution characteristic that the scan data includes a single page (S295: NO), the single JPEG compatible application is displayed on the LCD 18 as a candidate for the sharing destination application 64. Can be done (S305). Then, when the selection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted (S310: YES), it is possible to execute the sharing process of causing the sharing destination application 64 to share the scan data (S335). As described above, it is possible to predict whether the scan data is a plurality of pages or a single page before the scanning process is completed for all the originals, and allow the user to select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. Becomes As a result, it is possible to prevent an application that is not compatible with the execution characteristics of the scan processing from being selected as the sharing destination application 64, so that the sharing destination application 64 can reliably process the scan data. Becomes Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scan processing for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user.

According to the device control application 14b described in this specification, the sharing destination application list screen 81 can be displayed on the LCD 18 in response to the input of the sharing execution instruction (S110: YES) (S140). .. Further, it is possible to receive an input of a selection operation for selecting the sharing destination application 64 (S143). After receiving the input of the selection operation of the sharing destination application 64, the input of the scan execution instruction can be received (S170: YES). Then, before obtaining all the scan data of a plurality of pages from the device 30 (S190: NO), it is predicted whether or not the scan data generated by the device 30 is present in a plurality of pages, and it is predicted that a plurality of pages are present. In this case, it is possible to notify the main thread of characteristic information indicating the execution characteristic that the received scan data has a plurality of pages (S195). When the selected sharing destination application 64 is a single JPEG compatible application (S245: NO), when the characteristic information indicates the execution characteristic that the scan data has a plurality of pages (S250: YES). It can be determined that the sharing destination application 64 does not correspond to the scan processing execution characteristic. Therefore, it is possible to display only the names of a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications on the LCD 18 (S255) and accept an input for reselection of the sharing destination application 64 (S260). When the reselection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted (S260: YES), it is possible to execute the sharing process of causing the sharing destination application 64 to share the scan data (S265). As described above, it becomes possible to execute the selection acceptance (S147, S127) of the sharing destination application 64 before the input acceptance of the scan execution instruction (S170). Then, it is possible to predict whether or not the selected sharing destination application 64 corresponds to the execution characteristic of the scan process before the scan process is completed for all the documents (S250). Then, when it is predicted that the sharing destination application 64 does not correspond to the execution characteristic of the scan processing (S245: NO, S250: YES), the sharing destination application 64 corresponding to the execution characteristic is reselected by the user. It becomes possible (S260). As a result, it is possible to prevent an application that is not compatible with the execution characteristics of the scan processing from being selected as the sharing destination application 64, so that the sharing destination application 64 can reliably process the scan data. Becomes Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scan processing for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user.

According to the device control application 14b described in this specification, after the scan data generated based on the first original is acquired from the device 30 (S180: YES), the scan data based on the second and subsequent originals is acquired. If the job completion information is acquired from the device 30 (S190: YES) without acquiring the scan data generated by the device 30 (S200: YES), the execution characteristic that the scan data is a single page is indicated. It is possible to determine that the characteristic information has been acquired and notify the main thread of the characteristic information (S205). As a result, the scan data can be surely processed by the sharing destination application 64, and the convenience can be improved.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Can be guessed at.

<Modification 1>
As the execution characteristic of the scan process, the total size of one or more scan data generated by the scan process may be used. A specific example will be described with reference to the flows of FIGS. 9 to 11. Each flow of FIGS. 9 to 11 is a flow in which some of the steps of each flow of FIGS. 6 to 8 are changed. In the respective flows of FIGS. 9 to 11, the contents of the steps denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the respective flows of FIGS. If it is determined in S193 of FIG. 11 that the first scan data has been received (S193: YES), the process proceeds to S194a. In S194a, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the size of the first scan data is larger than a predetermined specific size. The specific size may be appropriately determined based on the data size that can be handled by the candidate application of the sharing destination application 64 when the sharing destination application 64 is not selected. When the sharing destination application 64 is selected, it may be appropriately determined based on the data size that the sharing destination application 64 can handle. For example, when the sharing destination application 64 is not selected, the application having the smallest data size that can be handled may be the specific application, and the specific size based on the data size that the specific application can handle may be acquired. When the sharing destination application 64 is selected, the selected application may be a specific application and a specific size based on a data size that the specific application can handle may be acquired. When the data size that can be handled by the specific application is 2 Mbytes, the specific size may be 1 Mbyte, which is half the handleable size. If the data size that can be handled by the specific application is 5 Mbytes, the specific size may be 2 Mbytes. If there is no limit to the data size that can be handled by the specific application, the specific size may be infinite, and it is not determined whether the size of the scan data in S194a or S200a exceeds the specific size. May be processed. If the size of the scan data exceeds the specific size at the time of acquiring the scan data for some pages, the size of the scan data for all pages is likely to exceed the manageable data size. That is, determining whether the size of the scan data exceeds a specific size at the time of acquiring the scan data for some pages is highly likely that the size of the scan data for all pages exceeds the data size that can be handled. It also means whether or not it is determined. An example of the specific application is an email application, and an example of data handled by the specific application is an attached file.

A data size that can be handled by the own application may be declared in advance for each application. In this case, the CPU 11 may acquire the data size that can be handled by each application via the OS 14a. Further, the CPU 11 may acquire the size of data that can be handled by each application from the flash memory 14 or the Internet.

When a negative determination is made in S194a (S194a: NO), the process returns to S180, and when an affirmative determination is made (S194a: YES), the process proceeds to S195a. In S195a, the CPU 11 predicts that the received scan data has a plurality of pages and the total size of the scan data of the plurality of pages becomes larger than the upper limit size. Therefore, the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the total size of scan data exceeds the upper limit size. Further, in S200a, the CPU 11 determines whether the total size of the scan data received from the device 30 exceeds the upper limit size. When an affirmative determination is made (S200a: YES), the process proceeds to S205a, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the total size of scan data exceeds the upper limit size. Then, the process proceeds to S240a in FIG. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made (S200a: NO), the process proceeds to S210a, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the total size of scan data does not exceed the upper limit size. Then, the process proceeds to S240a in FIG.

When it is determined in S240a that the sharing destination application 64 has been selected (S240a: YES), the process proceeds to S245a. In S245a, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an application whose data size that can be handled is limited is selected as the sharing destination application 64. If an affirmative decision is made in S245a (S245a: YES), the operation proceeds to S250a. In S250a, the CPU 11 determines whether the total size of the scan data received from the device 30 exceeds the upper limit size. The determination may be made based on the characteristic information notified by S195a, S205a, or S210a in FIG. When a positive determination is made (S250a: YES), in S255, the LCD 18 displays a warning error indicating that the specific application selected by the user cannot handle the scan data of a plurality of pages.

Further, in S295a of FIG. 10, the CPU 11 determines whether the total size of the scan data received from the device 30 exceeds the upper limit size. When a positive determination is made (S295a: YES), the process proceeds to S300a, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the names of the applications excluding the specific application. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made (S295a: NO), the process proceeds to S305a, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the names of all the applications including the specific application.

As described above, it is possible to predict whether or not the total size of the scan data exceeds the upper limit size before the scanning process is completed for all the originals, and allow the user to select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. It will be possible. This makes it possible for the sharing destination application 64 to reliably process the scan data. Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scan processing for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience for the user.

<Modification 2>
There may be various modes of determining whether or not the reception of the scan data for all pages is completed in S190. For example, the job completion information may not be used. A specific example will be described using the flow of FIG. In the flow of FIG. 12, the contents of the steps denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the flow of FIG. 8 have already been described, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted here. In S190b, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the top packet of the scan data of the next page is received within the predetermined waiting time. When a negative determination is made (S190b: NO), it is determined that the scan data for all pages have been received, and the process proceeds to S200. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made (S190b: YES), it is determined that scan data for all pages have not been received, and the process proceeds to S193b.

In S193b, the CPU 11 determines whether the received top packet is the top packet of the scan data of the second page. The determination may be made based on the number of received pages. When a negative determination is made (S193b: NO), the process returns to S180, and when an affirmative determination is made (S193b: YES), the process proceeds to S195. In step S195, the CPU 11 receives the first packet of the scan data of the second page, and thus predicts that the received scan data has a plurality of pages. Then, the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the received scan data has a plurality of pages.

As described above, the first packet of the scan data of the second page can be used as the characteristic information indicating the execution characteristic that the scan data has a plurality of pages. Therefore, it is possible to predict whether the scan data is a plurality of pages or a single page before the scan processing is completed for all the originals, and allow the user to select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. Become.

<Other modifications>
The mode of accepting the selection of the sharing destination application 64 after accepting the input of the scan execution instruction may be adopted. In this case, S110 to S155 in FIG. 5 may be deleted. It suffices to proceed from S105 to S170 of FIG. If a negative determination is made in S170, the process may return to S170. It suffices to delete S240 to S270 in FIG. It is sufficient to proceed from S173 to S280.

Alternatively, the input of the scan execution instruction may be accepted after the selection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted. In this case, if a negative determination is made in S110, the process may return to S110. From each of S129, S150, and S155, the process may proceed to S170 of FIG. If a negative determination is made in S170, the process may return to S170. S280 to S340 in FIG. 7 may be deleted. It suffices to delete S240 and proceed from S173 to S245.

The selection acceptance of the shared data format can be omitted. In this case, S115 to S129 of FIG. 5 may be omitted. If an affirmative determination is made in S110, the process may proceed to S130.

The process of displaying a warning can be omitted. In this case, S130 to S137 may be omitted and the process may proceed from S120 to S140.
