Therefore, "A data" may be paraphrased as "A information". Further, the "B data" duplicated or converted from the "A data" is "A information" as long as it is used with the same meaning as the "A data".

With reference to FIG. 2, the sharing function realized by using the API of the OS 14a of the mobile terminal 10 will be described. The sharing function is a function that causes the application selected as the data output destination to process the data output by the application of the data output source. The sharing function includes an implicit sharing function and an explicit sharing function. FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating the implicit sharing function, and is a case where the data output source application (hereinafter, also referred to as the sharing source application 60) requests the OS 14a to execute the implicit sharing function. It 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 the 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 a 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, it is composed of a file path. A type is information that specifies the format of shared data, and an action is information that specifies the type of processing. OS14a is a data output destination application from all applications installed on the mobile terminal 10 (hereinafter, also referred to as all applications 62) with the type and action notified from the sharing source application 60 as search conditions. (Hereinafter, also referred to as the sharing destination application 64), search for possible candidates (2).

Each application installed in the mobile terminal 10 declares in advance a type that specifies a format that can be processed by its own application 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 data in a format specified by the type notified from the sharing source application 60 and that corresponds to the processing type specified by the action notified from the sharing source application 60 is extracted and identified. Get 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 a process 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 process can actually be 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 one from the list (5), the OS 14a activates the selected sharing destination application 64, sets the screen of the sharing destination application 64 as the foreground (also referred to as the front), and sets the sharing source application 60. Notify the URI, type, and action of the shared data notified from (6).

As a result, the screen of the shared destination application 64 selected by the user is displayed in the foreground, and the shared destination application 64 accesses the shared data specified by the notified URI and performs processing according to the action value. For example, it performs various processes that can be executed by the shared destination application 64, such as display output, attachment to an e-mail, transmission, 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 the display of a list of candidates of the sharing destination application 64 (21). This request includes the type of shared data and the action. OS14a searches for candidates for the sharing destination application 64 from all the applications 62 installed on the mobile terminal 10 using the type and action notified from the sharing source application 60 as search conditions (22), and the search condition. Acquires the identification information of the application that satisfies (23).

Next, the OS 14a causes the LCD 18 to display a list of candidates for the shared destination application 64 found by the search (24). Then, when the user selects 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 an intent from OS14a, it calls the API of OS14a, specifies the identification information of the selected application included in the intent, specifies the URI, type, and action of the shared data, and shares the data. Request the execution of the function (27). The OS 14a starts the sharing destination application 64, which is a designated application from the sharing source application 60, sets the screen of the sharing destination application 64 as the foreground, and sets the URI and the type of the shared data notified from the sharing source application 60. , Notify the action (28).

That is, the sharing function of notifying the sharing data URI or the like to the OS 14a without the sharing source application 60 recognizing the sharing destination application 64 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 and the like of the 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 the main thread processing executed by the CPU 11 of the mobile terminal 10 according to the application 14b. This process is started when the user instructs the execution of the scan from the operation acceptance screen (not shown) of the application 14b. In addition, each step shown in the flowchart of FIGS. .. However, the steps included in each flowchart may be partially replaced with the steps that the OS 14a or other application causes the CPU 11 to execute. Further, regardless of the involvement of the CPU 11, the step may be partially replaced by a step realized by operating the hardware itself provided in the mobile terminal 10.

In S105, the CPU 11 causes the scan screen 70 to be displayed on the LCD 18. FIG. 3 shows a screen 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 the scan data. Before the execution of the scan process, a scan image 71 (for example, a character string such as "No Image") indicating that the 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 the page number indicating which page of the originals the currently displayed scan image 71 is the image of the original. This is the area to be displayed. The sharing button 74 is an area for inputting an execution instruction of the sharing function.

The scan button 76 is an area for inputting an execution instruction of the scan process. When the user touches the scan button 76, the execution instruction information of the scan process 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 or not the input of the shared execution instruction has been accepted. The determination may be made depending on whether or not the share button 74 of the scan screen 70 is touched. If affirmative judgment 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 between the PDF format and the JPEG format. The user selects which format the scan data should be shared with other applications, and touches the selected format option to perform a selection operation. On 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 or not the format of the shared data has been selected. The determination may be made depending on whether or not the format selection area 78 is touched. If it is determined that the JPEG format has been selected (S120: JPEG), the process proceeds to S130.

In S130, the CPU 11 determines whether or not there is a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications that are applications that can process a plurality of JPEG data. Specifically, the CPU 11 requests the OS 14a to search for an application that can process JPEG format data and corresponds to the action of "SEND_MULTI". Note that "SEND_MULTI" is an action declared only by a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications. When the information including the identification information of the multiple JPEG compatible application is returned from the OS14a, it is determined that the multiple JPEG compatible application exists, and the information including the identification information of the application corresponding to the multiple JPEG compatible application is returned from the OS14a. If it does not come, it is judged that the batch processing application does not exist. An example of information including application identification information is an application name included in an intent in an Android® OS. If a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications are 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 the user input has been accepted. If it is determined that the cancel button has been touched (S137: cancel), the process returns to S110, and if it is determined that the OK button has been touched (S137: OK), the process proceeds to S140.

In S140, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the shared destination application list screen 81. FIG. 4B shows a screen example of the shared 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 a data output destination by the sharing function. The application names 82 to 85 are displayed on the sharing destination application list screen 81. Names 82 and 83 are the names of multiple JPEG-enabled applications. Names 84 and 85 are the names of singular JPEG-enabled applications. A singular JPEG compatible 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 display of a list of candidates of the sharing destination application 64. At this time, the OS 14a is displayed so as to search for an application that can process JPEG format data and that corresponds to the action of "SEND_MULTI" or "SEND" and display it on the shared destination application list screen 81. Request against. That is, the process shown in FIG. 2 (21) is executed. Here, "SEND_MULTI" is an action specified when the scan data is JPEG data of a plurality of pages. "SEND" is an action specified when the scan data is JPEG data of a single page. On the other hand, the OS 14a that receives the list display request searches for a candidate of the sharing destination application 64 (FIG. 2), and displays the sharing destination application list screen 81 listing the names 82 to 85 of the found application on the LCD 18. As a result, the user can select an application that can process JPEG data from the shared destination application list screen 81.

In S143, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the sharing destination application 64 is selected. Specifically, when the intent including the identification information of the shared destination application 64 selected on the shared destination application list screen 81 is received from the OS 14a, it is determined that the shared destination application 64 has been selected. If a negative judgment is made (S143: NO), the process returns to S143, and if a positive judgment is made (S143: YES), the process proceeds to S145.

In S145, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the selected sharing destination application 64 is a plurality of JPEG compatible applications. If affirmative judgment is made (S145: YES), the process proceeds to S150. In S150, the CPU 11 stores the shared destination application identification information indicating that a plurality of JPEG compatible applications are selected as the shared destination application 64 in the flash memory 14. Then, it 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, if a negative determination is made in S145 (S145: NO), the process proceeds to S155. In S155, the CPU 11 stores the shared destination application identification information indicating that the singular JPEG compatible application is selected as the shared destination application 64 in the flash memory 14. Then, it returns to S110.

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

In S125, the CPU 11 displays a list of PDF-compatible application names on the shared destination application list screen 81. A PDF-compatible application is an application that can process data on a plurality of pages. As a result, the user can select an application that can process PDF data from the shared destination application list screen 81. Since the processing content of S125 is the same as the processing content of S140 described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

In S127, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the sharing destination application 64 is selected. If a negative judgment is made (S127: NO), the process returns to S127, and if a positive judgment is made (S127: YES), the process proceeds to S129. In S129, the CPU 11 stores the sharing destination application identification information indicating that the PDF compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64 in the flash memory 14. Then, it 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 accepted. The determination may be made depending on whether or not the scan button 76 of the scan screen 70 is touched. If affirmative judgment is made (S170: YES), the process proceeds to S173.

In S173, the CPU 11 activates the 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 S175, the CPU 11 transmits scan execution instruction information to the device 30 via the wireless LAN transmission / reception unit 15. The device 30 scans the document to generate scan data in response to receiving the scan execution instruction information, and transmits the scan data to the mobile terminal 10. The scan data may be RAW image data that is uncompressed or losslessly compressed, or image data that is lossy compressed by a PEG format or the like. When there are a plurality of originals, the scanning process is executed one by one and the scan data is generated one by one. Each time the device 30 generates one scan data, the generated 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 originals is completed, the device 30 transmits the job completion information to the mobile terminal 10. When the device 30 includes an ADF (Auto Document Feeder), a plurality of original documents may be automatically read. Then, the job completion information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 in response to the detection that all of the documents set in the ADF have been scanned. On the other hand, when the device 30 does not have the ADF, the user may place the documents one by one on the flatbed and perform scanning. 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, for example, by touching the scan end button to 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 or not one page of scan data has been received from the device 30. If a negative judgment is made (S180: NO), the process returns to S180, and if a positive judgment 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 or not the reception of scan data for all pages is completed. The determination determines whether or not the job completion information has been received from the device 30. For example, if the job completion information is not received within a predetermined time after it is detected in S180 that the scan data for one page has been received, the job completion information has not been received. You may judge. If a negative judgment is made (S190: NO), the process proceeds to S193.

In S193, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scan data received this time in S180 is the scan data of the first page. The judgment may be made based on the number of received pages described above. If a negative judgment is made (S193: NO), the process returns to S180 and the scan data of the next page is received. On the other hand, if a positive judgment is made (S193: YES), the process proceeds to S195.

Since the CPU 11 did not receive the job completion information after receiving the scan data of the first page in S195, it is predicted that the scan data of the second and subsequent pages will be transmitted in the future. In other words, it predicts that the received scan data will have 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 characteristics of the scan process performed by the device 30. Then, it returns to S180 and receives the scan data of the next page.

On the other hand, if a positive judgment is made in S190 (S190: YES), the process proceeds to S200. In S200, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the number of pages of scan data received from the device 30 is one. The judgment may be made based on the number of received pages described above. If affirmative determination is made (S200: YES), the process proceeds to S205, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that the scan data of a single page has been received due to the completion of the scan process. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made (S200: NO), the process proceeds to S210, and the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of characteristic information indicating that 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 or not the sharing destination application 64 has been selected. The determination may be made in S129, S150 or S155 depending on whether or not the shared destination application identification information is stored in the flash memory 14. If affirmative judgment 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. If an affirmative judgment is made (S245: YES), the process proceeds to S265, and if a negative judgment is made (S245: NO), the process proceeds to S250.

In S250, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scan data received from the device 30 has a plurality of pages. The determination may be made based on the characteristic information notified by S195, S205 or S210. If a negative judgment is made (S250: NO), the process proceeds to S265. On the other hand, if an affirmative judgment is made (S250: YES), the process proceeds to S255.

In S255, the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display a warning error indicating that the singular JPEG-compatible application selected by the user does not support the 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 plurality of JPEG-compatible applications on the LCD 18.

In S260, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the sharing destination application 64 has been reselected. Since the specific processing content is the same as the processing content of S143 described above, the description thereof will be omitted. If a negative judgment is made (S260: NO), the process returns to S260, and if a positive judgment is made (S260: YES), the process proceeds to S265.

In S265, the CPU 11 executes a sharing process of sharing the scan data with the sharing destination application 64. Specifically, the CPU 11 calls the API of the OS 14a, and the identification information of the shared destination application 64, the URI of the shared data which is one or more scan data, the type of "JPEG" or "PDF", "SEND_MULTI" or. The action of "SEND" is specified, and the OS14a is requested to execute the explicit sharing function. When a plurality of JPEG-compatible applications are 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. Further, when the single JPEG compatible application is selected as the sharing destination application 64, the CPU 11 creates one JPEG data from one 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 shared destination application identification information from the flash memory 14. And the flow ends.

If 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 the same as the processing content of S115 described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

In S285, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the format of the shared data has been selected. If it is determined that the JPEG format has been selected (S285: JPEG), the process proceeds to S295.

In S295, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scan data received from the device 30 has a plurality of pages. If affirmative judgment 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 plurality of JPEG-compatible applications. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made (S295: NO), the process proceeds to S305, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the names 82 and 83 of the plurality of JPEG-compatible applications and the names 84 and 85 of the singular JPEG-compatible applications. Since the processing content of S295 has already been explained in S140, the description thereof is omitted here.

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

In S310, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the sharing destination application 64 is selected. If a negative judgment is made (S310: NO), the process returns to S310, and if a positive judgment is made (S310: YES), the process proceeds to S335. Since the processing contents of S335, S337, and S340 are the same as the processing contents of each of S265, S267, and S270 described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

<Effect>
According to the device control application 14b described herein, by invoking the scan execution thread (S170: YES, S173), the device 30 is made to generate scan data (S175), and the generated scan data is generated. Can be obtained from the device 30 (S180). Then, before acquiring all of the scan data of the plurality of pages from the device 30 (S190: NO), it is predicted whether or not the generated scan data exists on the plurality of pages, and if it is predicted that the scan data exists on the plurality of pages, the scan data is predicted to exist. , Characteristic information indicating that the received scan data has a plurality of pages can be notified to the main thread (S195). Then, when accepting the selection of the sharing destination application 64 (S240: NO), if the acquired characteristic information shows the execution characteristic that the scan data has a plurality of pages (S295: YES), the plurality of JPEGs are obtained. The corresponding application can be displayed on the LCD 18 as a candidate for the sharing destination application 64 (S300). Further, when the acquired characteristic information indicates the execution characteristic that the scan data has a single page (S295: NO), the single JPEG compatible application is displayed on the LCD 18 as a candidate for the shared destination application 64. Can be done (S305). Then, when the selection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted (S310: YES), the sharing process of sharing the scan data with the sharing destination application 64 can be executed (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 let the user select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. Will be. As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which an application that does not support the execution characteristics of the scan process is selected as the share destination application 64, so that the scan data can be reliably processed by the share destination application 64. Will be. Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scanning process for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience of the user.

According to the device control application 14b described in the present 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 accept the input of the selection operation for selecting the sharing destination application 64 (S143). After accepting the input of the selection operation of the sharing destination application 64, the input of the scan execution instruction can be accepted (S170: YES). Then, before acquiring all of the scan data of the plurality of pages from the device 30 (S190: NO), it is predicted whether or not the scan data generated by the device 30 exists on the plurality of pages, and it is predicted that the scan data exists on the plurality of pages. In this case, the main thread can be notified of the characteristic information indicating the execution characteristic that the received scan data has a plurality of pages (S195). When the selected shared destination application 64 is a singular JPEG compatible application (S245: NO), and 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 shared destination application 64 does not correspond to the execution characteristic of the scan process. Therefore, only the names of the plurality of JPEG-compatible applications can be displayed on the LCD 18 (S255), and the input for reselection of the sharing destination application 64 can be accepted (S260). When the reselection of the sharing destination application 64 is accepted (S260: YES), the sharing process of sharing the scan data with the sharing destination application 64 can be executed (S265). As described above, it is possible to execute the selection acceptance (S147, S127) of the sharing destination application 64 before the input acceptance (S170) of the scan execution instruction. Then, before the scanning process is completed for all of the documents, it is possible to predict whether or not the selected sharing destination application 64 corresponds to the execution characteristic of the scanning process (S250). Then, when it is predicted that the shared destination application 64 does not correspond to the execution characteristic of the scan process (S245: NO, S250: YES), the shared destination application 64 corresponding to the execution characteristic is reselected by the user. It is possible to make it (S260). As a result, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which an application that does not support the execution characteristics of the scan process is selected as the share destination application 64, so that the scan data can be reliably processed by the share destination application 64. Will be. Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scanning process for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience of the user.

According to the device control application 14b described in the present specification, after the scan data generated based on the first original document is acquired from the device 30 (S180: YES), it is based on the second and subsequent original documents. When the job completion information is acquired from the device 30 (S190: YES) without acquiring the scan data generated from the device 30 (S200: YES), the execution characteristic that the scan data is a single page is shown. 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 reliably processed by the sharing destination application 64, which can improve convenience.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is easy that various improvements and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be inferred from.

<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 flow of FIGS. 9 to 11. Each flow of FIGS. 9 to 11 is a flow in which a part of the steps of each flow of FIGS. 6 to 8 is changed. In each of the flows of FIGS. 9 to 11, the contents of the steps having the same reference numerals as those of the flows of FIGS. 6 to 8 have already been described, and thus the description thereof will be omitted here. If it is determined in S193 of FIG. 11 that the scan data of the first sheet is 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. When the sharing destination application 64 is not selected, 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. Further, when the sharing destination application 64 is selected, it may be appropriately determined based on the data size that can be handled by the sharing destination application 64. For example, when the sharing destination application 64 is not selected, the application having the smallest data size that can be handled may be set as the specific application, and the specific size based on the data size that can be handled by the specific application may be acquired. Further, when the sharing destination application 64 is selected, the selected application may be set as a specific application, and a specific size based on the data size that can be handled by the specific application 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 of the handleable size. Further, when the data size that can be handled by the specific application is 5 Mbytes, the specific size may be 2 Mbytes. Further, 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 should not be determined whether the size of the scan data in S194a and S200a exceeds the specific size. May be processed. If the size of the scan data exceeds a 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 data size that can be handled. In other words, determining whether the size of the scan data exceeds a specific size at the time of acquiring the scan data for some pages is likely to exceed the size of the scan data that can be handled for all pages. It also means that it is judging whether or not. An example of a specific application is an e-mail application, and an example of data handled by the specific application is an attachment.

The 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 a 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.

If a negative judgment is made in S194a (S194a: NO), the process returns to S180, and if a positive judgment is made (S194a: YES), the process proceeds to S195a. In S195a, the CPU 11 predicts that the scan data to be received includes 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 the characteristic information indicating that the total size of the scan data exceeds the upper limit size. Further, in S200a, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the total size of the scan data received from the device 30 exceeds the upper limit size. If 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 the scan data exceeds the upper limit size. Then, the process proceeds to S240a in FIG. On the other hand, if 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 the scan data does not exceed the upper limit size. Then, the process proceeds to S240a in FIG.

If 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 having a limited data size that can be handled is selected as the sharing destination application 64. If a positive judgment is made in S245a (S245a: YES), the process proceeds to S250a. In S250a, the CPU 11 determines whether or not 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 of FIG. When affirmative determination is made (S250a: YES), in S255, a warning error indicating that the specific application selected by the user cannot handle the scan data of a plurality of pages is displayed on the LCD 18.

Further, in S295a of FIG. 10, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the total size of the scan data received from the device 30 exceeds the upper limit size. If affirmative determination is made (S295a: YES), the process proceeds to S300a, and the CPU 11 causes the LCD 18 to display the names of applications excluding the specific application. On the other hand, if 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.

Based on the above, before the scanning process is completed for all documents, it is possible to predict whether or not the total size of the scan data exceeds the upper limit size, and let the user select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. It will be possible. As a result, the scan data can be reliably processed by the sharing destination application 64. Further, since it is not necessary for the user to wait for the completion of the scanning process for all the originals, it is possible to improve the convenience of the user.

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

In S193b, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the received first packet is the first packet of the scan data on the second page. The judgment may be made based on the number of received pages. If a negative judgment is made (S193b: NO), the process returns to S180, and if a positive judgment is made (S193b: YES), the process proceeds to S195. Since the CPU 11 received the first packet of the scan data on the second page in S195, it is predicted that the received scan data includes a plurality of pages. Then, the CPU 11 notifies the main thread of the characteristic information indicating that the received scan data has a plurality of pages.

As described above, the first packet of the scan data on the second page can be diverted as characteristic information indicating the execution characteristic that the scan data is 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 scanning process is completed for all the originals, and let the user select the sharing destination application 64 that matches the prediction result. Become.

<Other variants>
After accepting the input of the scan execution instruction, the selection of the sharing destination application 64 may be accepted. In this case, S110 to S155 in FIG. 5 may be deleted. From S105, it may proceed to S170 in FIG. If a negative judgment is made in S170, the process may be returned to S170. S240 to S270 of FIG. 6 may be deleted. It suffices to proceed from S173 to S280.

After accepting the selection of the sharing destination application 64, the input of the scan execution instruction may be 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 in FIG. If a negative judgment is made in S170, the process may be returned to S170. S280 to S340 in FIG. 7 may be deleted. S240 may be deleted and the process may proceed from S173 to S245.

It is possible to omit the selection acceptance of the shared data format. In this case, S115 to S129 in FIG. 5 may be omitted. If a positive judgment is made in S110, the process may proceed to S130.
