<< Screen transition of Web application >>
FIG. 5 is a screen transition diagram of an example of a Web application. In FIG. 5, the application screens 1000 and 1100 are screen examples displayed by the screen data "app.html", and the scan screen 1200 is a screen example displayed by the screen data "scan.html".

The screen data of the application screens 1000 and 1100 are developed by a Web application developer or the like. The Web application of the present embodiment causes the scanner 606 to scan the original in accordance with the request from the user, and uploads the scanned image data file to the upload destination server device 16.

The application screen 1000 is an example of a screen that allows the user to select a delivery destination folder of the upload destination server device 16. When the user presses the file name setting button 1001 on the application screen 1000, the application screen 1000 transitions to the application screen 1100. The application screen 1100 is an example of a screen for setting a file name of image data to be scanned. When the user presses the delivery destination determination button 1101 on the application screen 1100, the application screen 1100 transitions to the scan screen 1200.

The scan screen 1200 is used by a Web application developer or the like. The scan screen 1200 displays the current scan settings and also accepts changes in the scan settings from the user. The scan screen 1200 transitions to the application screen 1100 when the "back button" 1202 is pressed by the user. Further, the application screen 1100 transitions to the application screen 1000 when the "back button" 1102 is pressed by the user.

When the start button 1201 of the scan screen 1200 is pressed by the user, the MFP 10 starts executing the scan upload process according to the scan settings displayed on the scan screen 1200.

In the screen transition diagram of an example of the Web application of FIG. 5, the application screens 1000 and 1100 allow the user to select the delivery destination folder and set the file name, and the implementation is not difficult for the developer of the Web application. This is an example. On the other hand, the scan screen 1200 executes the scan setting and the scan upload process of the MFP 10, which is extremely difficult for a developer who is not familiar with the application of the MFP 10. For example, in the development of the scan screen 1200, knowledge such as determination of whether or not the scan setting can be executed by the MFP 10 and display of the state during scan execution is required.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a process having a high degree of difficulty in development for a developer who is not familiar with the application of the MFP 10 is cut out and provided to the user as a scan screen 1200. The user develops the application screens 1000 and 1100, which are not difficult for the developer of the Web application, and passes the setting values set in the application screens 1000 and 1100 to the scan screen 1200 via the Web storage 28.

The scan screen 1200 can execute a job that uses a function peculiar to the MFP 10 according to the passed setting value. As described above, in the present embodiment, even a developer who does not have the knowledge peculiar to the MFP 10 can easily develop the Web application of the MFP 10.

The set values passed to the scan screen 1200 via the Web storage 28 are as shown in FIG. 6, for example. FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of an example of set values passed to the scan screen. The setting value in FIG. 6 is configured to include the default value of the scan setting, the upload setting, and the URL of the application. If the scan settings are not changed on the scan screen 1200, the MFP 10 performs the scan process according to the default scan settings.

The upload setting reflects the delivery destination folder selected on the application screen 1000 and the file name set on the application screen 1100. The MFP 10 uploads the scanned image data file to the URL specified in the upload setting by the header and body specified in the upload setting.

The URL of the application screen 1000 or 1100 is set as the URL of the application in order to return to the application screen 1000 or 1100 after or without executing the scan.

The method of acquiring the set value on the scan screen 1200 is not limited to the Web storage 28, and may be performed via the index database. The scan screen 1200 acquires the set value from the index database by a query. When the setting value is acquired by the query in this way, the setting value can also be passed to the scan screen 1200 hosted in another domain.

Further, when using the Web storage 28, if the scan screen 1200 is used from a plurality of Web applications, the keys of the Web storage 28 are the same. In this case, for example, the key suffix of the Web storage 28 may be specified in the query as follows.

URL when accessing the scan screen 1200: scan.html? KeySuffix = hoge
Web storage 28 key to save: default-scan-settings_hoge
<< Processing procedure >>

Proceeding to step S20, the function screen control unit 24 receives a request from the user to execute the scan upload process. Proceeding to step S21, the function screen control unit 24 requests the job execution unit 26 to perform a scan upload process according to the job settings. The job execution unit 26 scans the document with the scanner 606 according to the job settings.

Proceeding to step S22, the job execution unit 26 fails in the job of uploading the scanned image data to the delivery destination folder of the upload destination server device 16, and receives an error message.

Proceeding to step S31, the function screen control unit 24 acquires the “message to be displayed when an error occurs in job execution” of FIG. 10 as an error message setting. For example, the function screen control unit 24 determines that the received error message meets the conditions of the second element of the setting items in FIG. 10, and the error message as shown in FIG. 11 "You do not have the authority to upload." You can display the screen at the time of error including.
