The control program 10P is a program that causes each part of the image forming apparatus 1 to execute a job or causes the blood pressure measuring apparatus 10s to measure the blood pressure of the user. According to the control program 10P, the waiting time until the job is completed can be effectively utilized by the user as compared with the conventional case. Hereinafter, this mechanism will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a functional configuration of the image forming apparatus 1. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the menu screen 61. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the instruction screen 62. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the setting screen 63. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the measurement guide screen 64. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the error screen 65. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the measurement result screen 66. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the measurement progress screen 67.

According to the control program 10P, the job reception unit 101, the job start control unit 102, the blood pressure measurement control unit 103, the error monitoring unit 121, the job remaining time calculation unit 122, the priority processing determination unit 123, and the error presentation unit 124, as shown in FIG. A measurement result presentation unit 125, a job restart control unit 126, a blood pressure remeasurement control unit 127, and the like are realized.

The job reception unit 101 executes a process for accepting a job from a user, for example, as follows.

When the power of the image forming apparatus 1 is turned on or reset, the control program 10P is activated.

Then, the job reception unit 101 displays the menu screen 61 as shown in FIG. 4 on the touch panel display 10h. On the menu screen 5A, selection buttons 61A (61A1 to 61A8) for each job type or application are arranged.

If the user wants to measure his / her blood pressure while executing a job of reading an image from the original sheet and printing it on the printing sheet (hereinafter referred to as "copy job"), the user sets the original sheet in the scan unit 10i. Then, touch the selection button 61A6.

When the selection button 61A6 is touched, the job reception unit 101 causes the touch panel display 10h to display the instruction screen 62 as shown in FIG. 5 instead of the menu screen 61.

On the instruction screen 62, a first text 62A indicating the conditions of the copy job and a second text 62B indicating the posture for measuring blood pressure are arranged.

Initially, the first text 62A shows the default conditions as the copy job conditions, but when the user changes the copy job conditions, the first text 62A is updated accordingly. When the user wants to change the conditions of the copy job, he / she touches the change button 62C.

When the change button 62C is touched, the job reception unit 101 causes the touch panel display 10h to display the setting screen 63 as shown in FIG. 6 instead of the change button 62C. The user changes the conditions of the copy job by operating the setting screen 63.

Then, the job reception unit 101 accepts the changed condition and displays the instruction screen 62 again. However, at this time, the first text 62A is updated so that the changed conditions are shown.

The user touches the copy start button 62D if the conditions shown in the first text 62A are desired.

When the copy start button 62D is touched, the job reception unit 101 accepts the copy job.

Then, the job start control unit 102 causes the scan unit 10i, the print unit 10j, or the finisher unit 10k to start a copy job. Then, the scan unit 10i, the print unit 10j, or the finisher unit 10k executes the copy job under the conditions shown in the first text 62A.

Further, the user touches the measurement start button 62E. Then, the blood pressure measurement control unit 103 displays the measurement guide screen 64 as shown in FIG. 7 on the touch panel display 10h instead of the instruction screen 62, and causes the blood pressure measurement device 10s to start the blood pressure measurement.

When the blood pressure measuring device 10s is held by both hands of the user, the blood pressure measuring device starts measuring the blood pressure. Then, when the measurement is completed, the measurement result, that is, the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure are notified to the CPU 10a. Further, the pulse waveform is periodically (for example, every second) notified to the CPU 10a until the measurement is completed.

The error monitoring unit 121 monitors a defect in which the copy job must be temporarily stopped while the copy job is being executed. In this embodiment, the occurrence of errors such as jam of original sheet, jam of printing sheet, emptyness of toner, and emptyness of printing sheet is monitored.

Then, when the error monitoring unit 121 detects that an error has occurred, it identifies the type of the error. If an error occurs, the copy job will be paused.

Then, the job remaining time calculation unit 122 calculates the job remaining time Tr. The remaining job time Tr is the time required from the present time to the completion of the copy job currently being executed, and is calculated by, for example, the following equation (1).
Tr = Tg-Tk ... (1)

"Tk" is the elapsed time from the start of the copy job to the present time. “Tg” is the expected required time of the copy job, and can be calculated as follows, for example.

The user is made to input the number of manuscript sheets in advance on the setting screen 63 or the like. Alternatively, the scan unit 10i may detect the number of original sheets. When the original sheet is set in the ADF, the scan unit 10i detects the number of sheets by the weight sensor or the paper thickness sensor. When set on the platen glass, "1 sheet" is detected as the number of sheets.

Further, the job remaining time calculation unit 122 calculates the average time required for printing per printing sheet based on the conditions of this copy job. Then, the required time Tg is calculated by multiplying the calculated time and the number of input or detected sheets.

The priority processing determination unit 123 determines the processing to be performed next with priority (hereinafter referred to as "priority processing") as a processing for notifying the occurrence of an error (hereinafter referred to as "error notification processing") and measurement. One of the processes for receiving the result (hereinafter referred to as "result reception process") is determined as follows.

When the job remaining time Tr is longer than the measurement required time Tm, the priority processing determination unit 123 determines the priority processing as the error notification processing.

The measurement required time Tm is the time required for the blood pressure measuring device 10s to measure the blood pressure, that is, the time required from the start to the completion of the blood pressure measurement. The measurement time required Tm is fixedly determined by the specifications of the blood pressure measuring device 10s. However, the time required for preparation from the touch of the measurement start button 62E to the start of blood pressure measurement (hereinafter referred to as “preparation time”) may be included in the measurement required time Tm. That is, the time from the touch of the measurement start button 62E to the completion of the blood pressure measurement may be used as the measurement required time Tm. As the preparation time, the average time required for the user to prepare may be used. Alternatively, the preparation time may be determined in advance for each user, and the preparation time according to the user who is the subject may be used. Similarly, the required time may be determined in advance for each user, and the preparation time according to the user to be measured may be used.

Alternatively, when the job remaining time Tr is shorter than the measurement required time Tm, the priority processing determination unit 123 determines the priority processing as the result reception processing. When the job remaining time Tr and the measurement required time Tm are equal to each other, either of them may be determined, but the priority processing will be described below as the result reception processing.

For example, when the preparation time is 5 seconds and the time required from the start to the completion of the blood pressure measurement is 20 seconds, 50 seconds is calculated by the job remaining time calculation unit 122 as the job remaining time Tr. Then, since the measurement required time Tm is 25 seconds (5 seconds + 20 seconds), the job remaining time Tr> the measurement required time Tm. Therefore, the priority processing determination unit 123 determines the priority processing as the error notification processing. Since the blood pressure measurement can be restarted from the beginning in the time to execute the rest of the copy, it is better to clear the error first than to wait for the blood pressure measurement to complete, so that both the copy job and the blood pressure measurement can be completed faster. Because it can be done.

On the other hand, in the same case, if 10 seconds is calculated as the job remaining time Tr, the job remaining time Tr <measurement required time Tm. Therefore, the priority processing determination unit 123 determines the priority processing as the result reception processing.

However, if the blood pressure measurement has already been completed when the occurrence of the error is detected, the job remaining time calculation unit 122 and the priority processing determination unit 123 calculate the job remaining time Tr and determine the priority processing. not.

When the priority processing is determined to be the result reception processing by the priority processing determination unit 123, the error presenting unit 124 waits for the blood pressure measuring device 10s to notify the measurement result. Then, when the measurement result is sent, the error screen 65 corresponding to the type specified by the error monitoring unit 121 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed.

On the other hand, when the priority processing is determined to be the error notification processing, the error presenting unit 124 displays the error screen 65 immediately after detecting the occurrence of the error without waiting for the measurement result to be notified from the blood pressure measuring device 10s. Let me. Similarly, if the blood pressure measurement has already been completed at the time when the occurrence of the error is detected, the error screen 65 is immediately displayed.

When the error screen 65 is displayed, the user may stop the blood pressure measurement and perform the work for resolving the error, or wait for the blood pressure measurement to be completed and perform the work for resolving the error. You may go.

When the copy job is completed without the error monitoring unit 121 detecting the occurrence of an error, the measurement result presentation unit 125 displays the measurement result screen 66 showing the measurement result notified from the blood pressure measuring device 10s as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the touch panel display 10h. The past measurement result may be stored and shown on the measurement result screen 66 together with the current measurement result. If the occurrence of an error is detected before the measurement result is notified, the measurement result screen 66 is displayed when the operation of closing the error screen 65 is performed. Alternatively, when the error is resolved, the measurement result screen 66 is displayed. Alternatively, the measurement result screen 66 may be displayed after a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed from the display of the error screen 65.

If the blood pressure measuring device 10s notifies the measurement result when the error screen 65 is displayed, the measurement result presenting unit 125 superimposes a dialog box indicating that the measurement is completed on the error screen 65. It may be displayed. Alternatively, an alarm sound may be output.

Further, while the measurement result presentation unit 125 periodically notifies the pulse waveform from the blood pressure measuring device 10s, the notified pulse waveform and the remaining time of measurement (measurement from the present time is completed) as shown in FIG. The measurement progress screen 67 showing the measurement progress screen 67 is displayed on the touch panel display 10h. If an error occurs while the measurement progress screen 67 is being displayed, the error presentation unit 124 displays the error screen 65 (see FIG. 8) instead of the measurement progress screen 67.

The job restart control unit 126 controls the scan unit 10i, the print unit 10j, or the finisher unit 10k so that the copy job is restarted when the error is resolved. For example, if the copy job is a job for copying 15 original sheets and an error occurs when the processing of the 10th sheet is completed, the control is performed so that the processing of the 11th sheet is restarted. do.

The user can redo the blood pressure measurement once the error has been resolved and the copy job has resumed.

When the copy job is restarted, the blood pressure remeasurement control unit 127 displays the measurement guidance screen 64 (see FIG. 7) on the touch panel display 10h, and causes the blood pressure measurement device 10s to start the blood pressure measurement.

The blood pressure measuring device 10s restarts the blood pressure measurement from the beginning. Then, when the measurement is completed, the measurement result, that is, the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure are notified to the CPU 10a. Further, the pulse waveform is periodically (for example, every second) notified to the CPU 10a until the measurement is completed.

11 to 12 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the overall processing flow executed by the control program 10P.

Next, the overall flow of processing in the image forming apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart. The image forming apparatus 1 executes the process according to the procedure shown in FIGS. 11 to 12 based on the control program 10P.

The image forming apparatus 1 displays the menu screen 61 (see FIG. 4) (# 11 in FIG. 11). When the selection button 61A6 is touched (Yes at # 12), the instruction screen 62 (see FIG. 5) is displayed (# 13).

When the change button 62C is touched (Yes at # 14), the image forming apparatus 1 displays the setting screen 63 (see FIG. 6) (# 15) and accepts the copy job conditions (# 16). Then, the instruction screen 62 is displayed again (# 13). However, the first text 62A is updated so that the accepted conditions are shown.

When the copy start button 62D is touched (Yes at # 17), the copy job is executed under the accepted conditions (# 18). However, if the user does not specify the condition, the copy job is executed under the default condition.

Then, when the measurement start button 62E is touched (Yes at # 19), the measurement guidance screen 64 (see FIG. 7) is displayed (# 20), and when the user holds the blood pressure measuring device 10s with both hands, the blood pressure is measured. Start (# 21). During the measurement, the measurement progress screen 67 (see FIG. 10) is displayed (# 22).

When the image forming apparatus 1 detects the occurrence of an error during execution of the copy job (Yes in # 23), the image forming apparatus 1 calculates the remaining job time Tr (# 24), and the priority processing is either error notification processing or result reception processing. (# 25).

When the priority process is determined to be the error notification process (Yes in # 26 of FIG. 12), the image forming apparatus 1 displays an error screen 65 (see FIG. 8) according to the error that has occurred (# 27). Then, when the error is resolved (Yes at # 28), the copy job is restarted from the continuation (# 29). The user may stop the blood pressure measurement and perform the work of resolving the error after the blood pressure measurement is completed.

When the user stops the blood pressure measurement (Yes at # 30), the image forming apparatus 1 displays the measurement guidance screen 64 (# 31), and when the user holds the blood pressure measuring device 10s with both hands, the blood pressure is measured. Start over (# 32). During the measurement, the measurement progress screen 67 is displayed (# 33).

If the first measurement or another measurement is completed without detecting a copy job error (No for # 23, Yes for # 34), or if the user resolves the error without stopping the measurement (# 30). No, Yes in # 34) The image forming apparatus 1 displays the measurement result screen 66 (see FIG. 9) (# 35). Then, the process proceeds to step # 45.

On the other hand, when the priority processing is determined to be the result reception processing (No in # 26), the image forming apparatus 1 waits for the blood pressure measurement to be completed, and when it is completed (Yes in # 36), the error screen 65 is displayed. (# 37).

Then, when the error is resolved (Yes at # 38), the image forming apparatus 1 restarts the copy job from the continuation (# 39) and displays the measurement result screen 66 (# 40). Even if the error is not resolved, the measurement result screen 66 may be displayed after a certain period of time has elapsed after displaying the error screen 65.

After that, when the occurrence of an error is detected again during the execution of the copy job (Yes in # 41), the image forming apparatus 1 displays the error screen 65 according to the error that has occurred (# 42). Then, when the error is resolved (Yes at # 43), the copy job is restarted from the continuation (# 44).

Then, when the copy job is completed (Yes at # 45), the processing by the control program 10P is terminated. You may return to step # 11 in FIG. 11 to display the menu screen 61 again and accept the job.

When the selection button 61A other than the selection button 61A6 is touched on the menu screen 61 (No in # 12), the process corresponding to the touched selection button 61A is executed as before (# 46).

According to the present embodiment, the time waiting for the user to complete the copy job can be used more efficiently than before when a problem occurs in which the copy job must be temporarily stopped. , Can assist the user.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a first modification of the display method of the error screen 65. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a second modification of the display method of the error screen 65.

In the present embodiment, the job remaining time calculation unit 122 calculates the job remaining time Tr by the equation (1). That is, the time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time from the start of the copy job to the present time from the estimated required time of the copy job was calculated as the job remaining time Tr. However, the error resolution time Te, which is predicted to take to resolve the error, may be added to the job remaining time Tr. That is, it may be calculated by the following equation (2).
Tr = Tg-Tk + Te ... (2)

As the error resolution time Te, different times may be used depending on the type of error. For example, the error resolution time Te for the jam of the original sheet, the jam of the printing sheet, the emptyness of the toner, and the emptyness of the printing sheet is "20 seconds", "10 seconds", "50 seconds", and "30 seconds". May be used. Further, the error resolution time Te for each type of error may be used for each user.

In the present embodiment, when an error occurs while the measurement progress screen 67 (see FIG. 10) is displayed, the error presenting unit 124 displays the error screen 65 (see FIG. 8) instead of the measurement progress screen 67. However, as shown in FIG. 13, the error screen 65 may be reduced and displayed on the measurement progress screen 67. Alternatively, the measurement progress screen 67 and the error screen 65 may be displayed side by side. As shown in FIG. 14, the remaining job time Tr may be further displayed.

It may not be possible to calculate the remaining job time Tr because the number of manuscript sheets is unknown. In such a case, the priority processing determination unit 123 calculates the measurement remaining time Ts by the following equation (3), and if the measurement remaining time Ts exceeds the threshold value (for example, 10 seconds), the priority processing is notified as an error. It may be decided to process, and if it does not exceed, it may be decided to receive the result.
Ts = Tm-Tj ... (3)

"Tj" is the elapsed time from the start of measurement to the present time. "Tm" is the above-mentioned measurement time required Tm.

Alternatively, the priority processing determination unit 123 may determine the priority processing as the result reception processing if the measurement remaining time Ts is equal to or less than the threshold value, regardless of whether or not the job remaining time Tr can be calculated. Then, if the threshold value is exceeded, the job remaining time Tr can be calculated, and if the job remaining time Tr> the measurement required time Tm, the priority processing may be determined as the error notification processing. If the job remaining time Tr can be calculated and the job remaining time Tr ≤ measurement required time Tm, the priority processing may be determined as the error notification processing. If the job remaining time Tr cannot be calculated, the priority processing may be determined as the error notification processing.

In the present embodiment, the case where the blood pressure is measured in parallel with the copy job has been described as an example, but the image forming apparatus 1 can also be used in the case where other types of jobs are performed in parallel. In this case, the remaining job time Tr may be calculated by a method according to the type of job.

In the present embodiment, the case of measuring the blood pressure as the information of the user's living body has been described as an example, but the image forming apparatus 1 can also be used when measuring other information of the living body. In this case, the image forming apparatus 1 may be provided with an apparatus for measuring the other information. For example, when the stress is measured by RRI (R-R Interval), the image forming apparatus 1 may be provided with a stress measuring apparatus including an electrocardiograph and an arithmetic unit. The blood pressure measurement control unit 103 and the blood pressure remeasurement control unit 127 control the stress measurement device instead of the blood pressure measurement device 10s, and the measurement result presentation unit 125 uses the stress measurement device instead of the data obtained from the blood pressure measurement device 10s. The measurement result may be displayed on the touch panel display 10h based on the obtained data.

In addition, the configuration of the entire image forming apparatus 1 or each part, the content of processing, the order of processing, the configuration of the screen, and the like can be appropriately changed according to the gist of the present invention.
