Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device and an image forming device capable of setting a plurality of functional items related to information processing including image information processing.

Conventionally, a technique has been proposed in which various print settings for an image forming apparatus are set from a computer apparatus. In this type of print setting, the display density of print setting items is reduced and operability at the time of setting is ensured by utilizing tabs in which print items are uniformly divided by function, for example. In recent years, as the number of print setting items has increased, the number of tabs has also increased, and frequently used print items and infrequent print items are displayed in a mixed manner, so that efficient use is possible from the user's point of view. Is blocked. Therefore, it is known that shortcut keys are used for the purpose of ensuring utilization efficiency, and print setting items and tabs are efficiently arranged.

Patent Document 1 proposes a print setting processing device for efficient use by changing the display mode of function setting items and displaying them. That is, in Patent Document 1, the frequency of use of function setting items is measured, function setting items that are infrequently used are hidden, and the display order of tabs including function setting items that are infrequently used is sequentially lowered. By finally hiding it, the user can easily select and use a plurality of function setting items. On the other hand, a procedure is also adopted in which the hidden state is returned to the displayed state again by operating a button from the management screen.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-285966

According to the print setting processing device described in Patent Document 1, each tab includes function setting items classified by function in advance. Therefore, if the infrequently used tabs are hidden, a plurality of function setting items are displayed. It is not preferable because a part of the above is excluded from the usage range, and there is a problem in convenience such as being forced to perform an operation for returning to the redisplay state. On the other hand, when setting a certain function setting item, a list of all function setting items divided into tabs including this function setting item is always displayed, so it is constant for efficient display and use. There is a limit.

The present invention provides an information processing device and an image forming device that create a screen in an information processing device to improve user operability so that a list page is displayed when a function item registration instruction is given in the terminal. It is a thing.

The present invention is connected to a terminal having a display unit and an operation unit via a network, and while a plurality of function items for each screen are arranged in advance, it is possible to arbitrarily register and delete from the plurality of function items for each screen. An information processing apparatus capable of executing a plurality of functions related to information processing, which displays and provides individual tabs having various list pages to the terminal, is provided with setting processing means and screen creation means. When the setting processing means receives an instruction for registering and deleting the function item from the terminal, the setting processing means registers and deletes the selected function item on the list page, and at the same time, the list of the registration and deletion results. The screen of the page is guided to the display unit of the terminal.

When the screen creation means receives an instruction for registering a function item from the terminal in a state where the function item is not registered, the screen creating means changes the list page from the hidden state to the displayed state so that the registered function item can be set. It is changed and led to the display unit of the terminal. Therefore, since the list page is displayed after waiting for the registration instruction of the function item, it is easy for the user to understand and the operability is improved.

Further, the plurality of functional items for each screen are divided into a plurality of standard tabs in advance. According to this configuration, since multiple function items are divided into multiple standard tabs, the display efficiency is slightly improved, but the difficulty of reaching the desired function item and the further improvement of the display efficiency are improved. , It is alleviated by utilizing individual tabs on the list page and hiding.

In addition, the screen creating means creates a screen displaying the list page and the individual tabs by registering the first function item, and guides the screen to the display unit of the terminal. According to this configuration, the registered function items can be easily visually recognized, and by displaying individual tabs, the registered function items can be easily called.

Further, the screen creating means creates a screen in which the list page is hidden and the individual tabs are hidden, and leads to the display unit of the terminal. According to this configuration, individual tabs are also hidden, so that an erroneous tab selection operation is prevented.

Further, the registration of the function item sets the selected function item with a shortcut for the list page of the individual tab. According to this configuration, since the shortcut function is utilized, when the registered function item is selected, it becomes possible to link to the function setting page, and the operability is improved.

Further, the information processing apparatus is an image forming apparatus including at least two or more image processing modes among the print, copy, scan, and facsimile image processing modes. According to this configuration, an image forming apparatus having high display efficiency and utilization efficiency on a screen for selecting and setting functional items is provided.

According to the present invention, when all the functional items in the list page of the individual tab are deleted, the list page is hidden and efficient display and use are improved.

There are various functions such as basic settings, default destinations, and many more (tens to hundreds) of functional items are prepared.

As described above, in the image forming apparatus 100, the standard specifications are set in advance as defaults for each image information processing mode, while the processing of each mode becomes the content desired by the user by setting in advance by the user. I am doing it. Since many function items are prepared for each screen (page), for example, multiple function items are divided by function in advance and multiple standard tabs are prepared to reduce the display density and facilitate operation. There is. The functional items that are centrally or hierarchically divided into each standard tab are provided (transmitted) to the terminal 200 as a user interface and displayed by the terminal screen processing unit 92. On the other hand, for these standard tabs, an individual tab having a list page that can be registered and deleted by the user is prepared for the function item frequently used by the user from among the plurality of function items, and the terminal screen processing unit 92 Therefore, it is provided to the terminal and displayed to ensure further operability.

The authentication unit 921 authenticates the appropriateness of login from the terminal 200. For example, when connecting to the image forming apparatus 100, the login screen shown in FIG. 3 is transmitted to the terminal 200, and the input of the user name and password is accepted to perform proper authentication. If the authentication is successful, for example, the home screen shown in FIG. 4 is transmitted.

The screen display unit 211 receives the screen image transmitted from the terminal screen processing unit 92, displays the login screen, displays the home screen, and displays the screen created according to the operation content.

The operation reception unit 212 accepts a click operation for a desired button, icon or other display position in the displayed screen, and acquires the position information (display coordinate information) on the clicked screen. The clicked position information is transmitted to the image forming apparatus 100 by the communication processing unit 213 each time.

The operation content determination unit 922 determines the operation content on the terminal 200 from the position information transmitted from the terminal 200. Since the position coordinates of the display unit 221 of the terminal 200 are associated with the displayed buttons, icons, and other display addresses, the contents of the buttons, icons, and other images displayed at that position can be obtained from the acquired position information. Can be identified. The operation content determination unit 922 identifies the content operated by the user on the terminal 200 side from the identified content.

The screen creation unit 923 creates a screen image of the terminal 200 side corresponding to the operation content every time the operation content of the user is specified by the operation content determination unit 922. The communication processing unit 924 transmits the created screen image to the terminal 200.

Here, each screen (FIGS. 4 to 10) provided to the terminal 200 after the login screen (FIG. 3) will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, a home screen (initial screen) is displayed on the screen 221a of the display unit 221. On the home screen, for example, five tabs 2210 of "status", "address book", "file operation", "user management", and "system setting" are displayed. In FIG. 4, the "status" tab is selected, and the image of the first page related to "multifunction device information" is displayed.

The window on the left side of the screen 221a is the page selection area 2211a, and the window on the right side of the screen 221a is the function setting area 2211b. A vertical scrolling cursor 2212 is displayed at the right end of the screen 221a, and a logout button 2213 is operably displayed at the upper right of the screen 221a.

In FIG. 5, the "system setting" tab is selected, and the screen of the function item "basic setting" is displayed. In FIG. 5, the shortcut symbol (shortcut button) 2214 is displayed in a hidden state, indicating that the “shortcut” tab is not set. Here, various modes can be adopted as the non-display state of the shortcut symbol 2214, but in FIG. 5, the star-shaped mark is indicated only by the frame line, and is in the hollow state and is in the non-display state. Is made visible. By making it visible, the shortcut symbol 2214 can be selected and the shortcut can be set regardless of whether the shortcut symbol 2214 is displayed or not.

In FIG. 6, the shortcut symbol 2215 is displayed, indicating that the “shortcut” tab 2210a is displayed. The shortcut symbol 2215 is in a state in which the entire star-shaped mark, which can be distinguished from the hidden shortcut symbol 2214, is filled with a predetermined color. When the shortcut symbols 2214 and 2215 are not distinguished, they are also simply referred to as shortcut buttons.

FIG. 7 is a screen view of the list page when the “shortcut” tab 2210a is selected. In FIG. 7, there are update buttons on the upper and lower sides of the window, and the registered function items are arranged and displayed in the vertical direction in a table format between them (in FIG. 7, the function of the page title "basic setting" is displayed. You can see that the item is registered with a link.) Immediately below the table, the edit button 2216 is displayed as selectable. The edit button 2216 is used when setting the function of the selected page title.

FIG. 8 is a screen view of editing the shortcut page of FIG. 7, which is a screen when the “shortcut” tab 2210a is displayed. Note that FIG. 8 shows a delete button 2217 and a registration button 2218. The delete button 2217 and the registration button 2218 give an instruction to register a new function item or delete an already registered function item. On the other hand, FIG. 9 shows when the "Shortcut" tab is hidden in response to the message 2219 that the last function item was deleted, that is, "It was processed normally" by editing the shortcut page. It is a screen view.

In FIG. 10, a tab other than the “shortcut”, for example, a “system setting” tab is selected after FIG. 9, the “shortcut” tab is hidden, and the shortcut symbol 2214 indicating the non-display is displayed. It is a screen view.

Subsequently, the operation will be described. First, the process executed by the control unit 210 of the terminal 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Access is performed from the terminal 200 via the LAN by designating the address of the image forming apparatus 100 (step ST1). Upon receiving this access, the login screen transmitted from the image forming apparatus 100 is received and displayed on the display unit 221 (steps ST3 and ST5). When the password is input to the displayed login screen (step ST7), the input contents are transmitted to the image forming apparatus 100 (step ST9).

Next, the authentication result from the image forming apparatus 100 is received (step ST11), and it is determined whether or not the results match (step ST13). If the results do not match (No in step ST13), that is, if the authentication fails, an authentication error is displayed (step ST15), and the process returns to step ST5. On the contrary, if the results match, that is, if the authentication is successful, the home screen (FIG. 4) is transmitted, received (step ST17), and displayed on the screen (step ST19).

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not there is a selection (for example, a click operation) for the position on the screen 221a (step ST21), and if it is determined that the position has been selected, the information on the selected position is transmitted to the image forming apparatus 100 (step ST23). .. On the image forming apparatus 100 side, the operation content of the terminal 200 is determined from the received position information, a screen corresponding to the operation content is created, and the screen is transmitted to the terminal 200 (step ST17). After that, by repeating the same process, function item selection (registration, deletion) and function setting processing are performed on each screen, and related "shortcut" tab, shortcut symbol display / non-display processing is performed. Will be executed.

12 to 14 are flowcharts for explaining the processing on the image forming apparatus 100 side performed in response to the operation of the terminal 200. First, it is determined whether or not there is access from the terminal 200 (step S1). When there is access, the login screen is transmitted (step S3) and the password is received (step S5). When the password is received, password authentication is performed (step S7), and it is determined whether or not the passwords match (step S9). If the passwords do not match, the fact that the passwords do not match is transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S11), and the process returns to step 5. On the other hand, when the passwords match, the fact that they match is transmitted to the terminal (step S13), and the home screen is transmitted (step S15).

Subsequently, the position information corresponding to the operation content on the terminal 200 side is received (step S17). When the position information is received, it is first determined whether or not the received position information has selected the logout button 2213 in the display area of the logout button 2213 in the display screen (step S19). If the log-out button 2213 is selected, the process returns to the transmission process (step S3) of the login screen.

On the other hand, if the logout button 2213 is not selected, then it is determined whether or not the position is within the page selection area 2211a (step S21). When it is determined that the position is in the page selection area 2211a, the page screen selected corresponding to the position is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S23), and then returns to step S17 to obtain the next position information. The reception process of is repeated.

On the other hand, if it is not the page selection area 2211a in step S21, then it is determined whether or not the position is within the function setting area 2211b (step S25). Then, if it is determined that the position is not within the function setting area 2211b, it is determined whether or not the position is a tab position (step S31). If it is a tab position, the selected tab screen is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S33). On the other hand, if it is not the tab position, it is determined whether or not it is the shortcut position that is the position of the shortcut symbol 2214 or 2215 (step S35), and if it is not the shortcut position, the process returns to step S17. If it is a shortcut position, then it is determined whether or not the page to which the shortcut is to be set is an unregistered page (functional item) (step S37).

If it is an unregistered page, the presence or absence of the shortcut tab is determined (step S39), if there is a shortcut tab, the process proceeds to step S43, while if there is no shortcut tab, the screen to which the "shortcut" tab 2210a is added. (For example, FIG. 6) is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S41), and then the process proceeds to step S43.

In step S43, additional registration of the shortcut is performed, and then a page screen (for example, FIG. 6) in which the shortcut symbol is lit (displayed) is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S47). After that, the process returns to step S17.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S37 that the page is not an unregistered page, the same registered shortcut is deleted (step S49), and then the shortcut symbol 2215 is turned off (hidden) (step S51). Is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S53). Next, it is determined whether or not there is a remaining portion registered as a shortcut (step S55), and if there is a remaining portion, the process returns to step S17. On the other hand, if there is no remaining amount, assuming that all the shortcuts have been deleted, a screen in which the shortcut tab is deleted (for example, FIG. 10) is created (step S57), and the screen is transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S59). , Return to step S17.

On the other hand, if the function setting position is determined in step S25, it is determined whether or not the current screen is the screen of the shortcut tab (for example, FIG. 7) (step S27). Here, if it is not the shortcut tab screen, the function setting for the target position, that is, the selected function item is performed (step S29), and the page screen reflecting the setting result is transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S61). , Return to step S17.

Further, in step S27, if the current screen is a shortcut tab screen, it is determined whether or not the shortcut button is selected (step S63), and if the shortcut button is selected, a screen for displaying the corresponding page is created. It is transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S65), and then returns to step S17.

On the other hand, if the shortcut button is not selected in step S63, it is determined whether or not the edit button 2216 is selected (step S67), and if the edit button 2216 is not selected, the process returns to step S17. If the shortcut button is selected in step S63, a screen for displaying the edit page (for example, FIG. 8) is created and transmitted to the terminal 200 (step S69). Next, it is determined whether or not the operation is an item check operation (step S71), and if it is an item check operation, it is determined whether or not it is a release instruction (step S73). If the determinations in steps S71 and S73 are all No, the process returns to step S17.

If it is determined in step S73 that the release instruction is given, the registration of the shortcut of the corresponding page is deleted (step S75), and then the shortcut symbol of the corresponding page is turned off (step S77). Next, it is determined whether or not there is a remaining amount of shortcut registration, and if there is a remaining amount, the process returns to step S17. On the other hand, if there is no remaining amount, as the last shortcut to be deleted, the shortcut tab is deleted from the screen (step S81), and the screen in which the shortcut tab 2210a is hidden (for example, FIG. 9) is transmitted to the terminal 200. (Step S83).

The contents of the function items included in the shortcut tab 2210a (individual tab) set as described above are registered in the storage unit 90a on a user-by-user basis or without distinction between users. When registered without distinction between users, the contents set later are overwritten and registered. If you want to execute the image formation job after registration, you can authenticate the user from the terminal 200 or use the authentication card (proximity communication card, etc.) that the user has, and the job will reflect the settings. Is executed.

In the first embodiment, a plurality of function items are divided into a plurality of standard tabs in advance and arranged, but instead, the plurality of function items are stored in one standard tab or displayed in an array without tabs. It may be the aspect which is done.

In the first embodiment, the display and non-display of the shortcut symbol can be identified by the frame display and the entire filling mode, but instead of this, the color, density (luminance), lighting and blinking display, large and small It may be distinguished by such as.

Further, in the first embodiment, since the shortcut symbol is also used as the shortcut button, the display and the non-display can be displayed in an identifiable manner, and the display area can be effectively used only in one place. 2 As an embodiment, the shortcut symbol may be displayed or hidden literally, and the shortcut button may be displayed at all times as another mode.

Further, in the first embodiment, a large number of functional items of the image forming apparatus are used to improve display efficiency and utilization efficiency by using a shortcut function, but as a third embodiment, a server is used instead of the image forming apparatus. It can also be applied to information processing devices such as host computers. For example, in a mode in which information and data are centrally or hierarchically classified and registered in the information processing apparatus in various categories, and each is classified and managed by a fixed tab, further, for the user. , Custom, individual tabs that are list pages may be made available, and this individual tab may be registered or deleted by the user in consideration of frequency of use or importance as necessary, and applied to the usage mode. .. In this case, the list page may be hidden when the registration information disappears in the individual tab. Further, the individual tabs may be used as long as they are used for efficient use of information, and are not limited to the shortcut function.

Further, in the first embodiment, the shortcut tab is created for each user, but by selecting the update button on the screen, the contents of the shortcut tab of another user can be browsed, if necessary. You may add it to your own shortcut tab.
