Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the necessity of optionally preparing an IC card key which is relatively not frequently used by providing an inputting means for instructing mode data transmission to a main body device on a data recording medium side and setting the operation mode of the main body device based on the transmitted mode data. CONSTITUTION:For the IC card connector 203 of a copying machine which carries out image processing, the connecting part 30 of the IC card 200 is detachably provided. The IC card 200 possesses the copy mode load key 18 which instructs the setting of the recorded copy mode data to the copying machine main body. Therefore, when the mode data transmission is instructed by the copy mode load key 18 under the condition that the IC card 200 and the copying machine main body are connected, the image processing mode data registered on the IC card 200 is transmitted to the copying machine side, and based on the data, the image processing mode is set to the copying machine side. Therefore, the IC card key which is relatively not frequently used is not necessarily prepared optionally on the copying machine side.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a single-picture processing device that includes a storage medium and a main unit, and more specifically, a single-picture processing mode that is registered in a storage medium. Main unit (related to an image processing device that can be configured).

[Conventional technology]

In a storage medium device such as an IC card? Register the copy mode (copy magnification, exposure, number of copies, copy paper size, etc.) as data, connect the IC card to the copier, and set the copy mode specified by the registered data to the copier. A method has been proposed to set the

In the above, I
After connecting the C card and the copying machine, this is done by pressing the IC card key on the copying machine side.

Note that the IC card key is an operating key switch installed in the copying machine in Obunyong, which commands the transfer of data from the IC card and the setting of the copy mode specified by the data. It is for the purpose of

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When setting the copy mode on the copying machine using the 8th recording data on the IC card, as described above, the operation of the IC card key on the copying machine side is performed.

However, the IC card key is an unnecessary switch for users who do not use IC cards. For this reason, the installation of IC card keys is generally considered optional.

By the way, the key switch is usually added after the operation panel is shipped from the factory, not when the operation panel is manufactured. For this reason, the seat (the sheet with the switch layout printed on it) is often reupholstered by a service person. However, if you are inexperienced, there is a risk of mistakes.

In addition, on the operation panel of the m-shaped crosspiece, there are key switches that are closely related to copying operations (copy start key, numeric key, etc., key switches that are often operated when using the copier Q). In addition to ), if key switches that are not used frequently, such as the IC card key mentioned above, are arranged in a concentrated manner, a problem arises in that it is difficult to operate frequently operated key switches.

The present invention is intended to solve such problems.

[Means and operations for solving the problem; The present invention includes a main unit that performs image processing, and a data storage medium that is removable from the main unit, and the data storage medium is attached to the main unit. has a transfer command manual means for instructing the transfer of mode data to the main body, and when the transfer of mode data is commanded while connected to the main body, the mode data is given to the main body, Based on the given mode data, the device
The image processing apparatus includes mode setting means for setting its operation mode.

That is, the image processing moto data registered in the data storage medium is transferred to the main unit by connecting the storage medium device to the main unit and operating the manual means for transfer.

Furthermore, on the main device side, an image processing mode is set based on the transferred mode data.

As shown in 1.2, in the image processing apparatus according to the present invention, the manual means for instructing data transfer to the body device is the same as in 1.
On the device side: Actually, it is installed on the storage medium side.

For this reason, the main unit is equipped with +iiJ, which has a relatively low degree of use.
There is no need to prepare an IC card key separately.

Furthermore, since the arrangement of extra key switches can be omitted on the main body device side, frequently used key switches can be easily operated.

<3> l(: Connection between card and copying machine The IC card and copying machine are connected by one of the following two connection forms.

(1) Connection Mode A FIGS. 6 and 7 are diagrams showing a case where the IC card 200 and the copying machine are connected with the end of the IC card 200 on the display unit 50 side being the top. IC card 200 in this case
Unlike the IC card shown in FIG. 1, the connection section 30 is connected to the display section 50/l! 11.

Regarding the connection mode, as is clear from FIG. 7, there are four arithmetic operation key groups 12 to 16, a memory key 17, a load key 18,
The power supply 0N10FF key 20 (shown as "O" in FIG. 7) is exposed, and the four arithmetic operation keys 12 to 1G can be used under the calculation mode setting (second
1; see 5817).

(2) Connection mode B FIGS. 8 to 9 show a case where the IC card 200 and the copying machine are connected with the end of the IC card 200 on the side of the four arithmetic operation keys 12 to 16 at the beginning. 1. In the IC card 200 in this case, like the IC card shown in FIG. 1, the connecting portion 30 is formed at the end on the side of the four arithmetic operation key groups 12 to 16.

In addition, connect portions 30 are formed at both ends to connect! ! ! ? The configuration A and the connection@peak B may be arbitrarily selected.

In connection mode B, as is clear from FIG. 9, the display section 50 is exposed and can be used.

For this reason, in the book/stem, the display section 5 is
The total number of copies of the copying machine or the IC card 200 is displayed by inverting the numeric value 0 vertically and horizontally (see FIG. 20, 5759° and FIG. 28; 51605).

The principle of numerical display inversion will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

For example, the numerical value "r4" is shown in Figure 1I (B
), among the segment elements, b, c, f, g
Displayed by lighting the element.

Therefore, in order to flip this vertically, it is necessary to
As shown in C), elements C, e, f, and g may be turned on.

In addition, the number ``34'' is in normal condition as shown in Figure 12 (B
), the numeric value "4" in the 1st place is displayed by the rightmost segment element, and the numeric value "3" in the 10th place is displayed by the second segment element from the right end.

Therefore, in order to horizontally invert this, Figure 12 (
As shown in A), the numeric value "4j" in the 1st place may be displayed by the leftmost segment element, and the numeric value "3" in the 10th place may be displayed by the second segment element from the left end.

Based on the above principle, the numerical display in the 8 o'clock connection mode is reversed vertically and horizontally.

<4> Processing in the CPU 201 FIGS. 13 to 21 are flowcharts showing the processing in the control CPU 201 on the copying machine side.

(1) Main routine: Fig. 13 The control CPU 201 of the copying machine starts processing by connecting the power line.First, it executes initial settings (5ll), and then starts an internal timer that defines the execution time of the l routine. Let (
513).

Next, IC card RAM check processing (S15),
Card insertion/removal processing (S1T), )-total copy count processing (519), total check key processing (S2
1), calculation processing (823), copy operation processing (S27)
), and processing other than the above (329: Other processing)
, as necessary, and waits for the internal timer to end in step 331, then returns to step 513 and repeats the above processing.

Each process will be described below.

(2) IC card RAM check process Figures 14 to 1
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the IC card RAM check process.

The IC card RAM check process is a process that is executed when the IC card is connected to the copying machine (5101; YF, S), and is executed depending on the status of the read bit, write bit, and interrupt bit. , the following processes are executed.

In addition, in order for the read pit and write bit to become 1, the following (Fig. 24; 51205 Fig. 25: 513
07) The key IT of the IC card 200, 18
A connection mode A (FIG. 7) is assumed, in which the device can be operated in a connected state.

Further, the connection state between the IC card and the copying machine is detected by, for example, accessing the RAM 550 of the IC card and reading out a bit indicating the state of the key switch SW22.

(2-i) Read bit check FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing read bit check processing.

The read pit of RAM550 of the IC card (see Figure 10) is set (or has been set) to 1.
(5201; YES), on the condition that the copying machine is not in copying operation (S203; YES),
After resetting the read pit of RAM550 to 0 (S
2051, copy mode number of copies stored in RAM 550;

Read the data (exposure level, magnification, paper size code: see Figure 1O) and set it on the copying machine (5207
).

<2-ii) Write bit check Figure 16 is as follows:
3 is a flowchart showing a write bit check γ correction process.

If the write bit of RAM 550 of the IC card (see Figure 10) is set to 1 (S301; YES)
), after resetting the write bit of the RAM 550 to 0 (5303), the copy mode (number of copies, exposure level, magnification, paper size code) set on the ffl photocopier's panel 70 is reset to the corresponding data in the RAM 550. It is written in the area (see Figure 1O) (5305).

(2-iii) Interrupt pit check'@17 is a flowchart showing interrupt bit check processing.

If the interrupt bit in the RAM 550 of the IC card (see Figure 1O) is set to 1 (S401; YES)
), first, after resetting the interrupt bit in the RAM 550 to 0 (5403), the interrupt status flag is set (S4
05). The interrupt status flag is a flag that manages the interrupt copy mode set by the IC card.

Next, it is determined whether copying is in progress, and if copying is in progress (3407, YES), copying is interrupted (
S409), the data at the time of interruption (number of copies, number of remaining copies, exposure level, magnification, pepper size code) is saved in the RAM 206 of the copying machine (<5411).

Further, if it is determined in step 5407 that copying is not in progress (S407: NO), the data of the copy mode set in the copier is saved in the RAM 206 (5
413).

In this way, by registering the interrupt mode in the IC card 200 in advance, the interrupt mode can be set in the copier by connecting the IC card 200 to the copier.

(3) RC card insertion/removal processing: Fig. 18 When the IC card is connected to the copying machine (S501; YES), the power-on bit of the RAM 550 of the card (see Fig. 1O) is set to l. If there is (S503;
YES), performs startup processing of the copying machine.

In other words, if the main power of the copier is turned off (
S505 ; YES), turn on the main power supply (5
507).

Furthermore, even if the main power source is turned on <5505; NO), if the power saving state is set (S509; YES), the power saving state is canceled (3
511). For example, the power-saving mechanism aims to reduce power consumption by turning off the display on the operation panel and maintaining the temperature of the fusing heat roller slightly lower than the operating temperature. This configuration is designed to allow the copying machine to be started up in a shorter time than it takes to start up the copying machine.

On the other hand, the IC card is not set in the copier (S5
13; YES), if copying is not in progress (S
515: YES), if the interrupt flag is set (S517; YES), the 11-include flag is reset (5519), and the copy mode saved in the RAM 206 on the m-edge frame side is restored (S521). ). Thus, for example, if the IC card is removed during execution of a copying operation, the interrupt mode will be canceled after the operation is completed.

(4) Total copy number counting process Figure 19 is as follows:
7 is a flowchart showing a process for counting the total number of copies.

(
3601; YES), increments the total copy number data in the RAM 206 of the copying machine by 1 (5
603).

Furthermore, when the ejection is completed, if an IC card is connected (5605; YES), the IC card's RA
The total copy number data of M550 is also incremented by 1 (5607).

(5) Total check key processing FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the total check key processing. Case B is shown. These two processes are processes that are executed alternatively. The selection of the process to be executed (FIG. 20 (A) or FIG. 20 (B)) is This is determined depending on which side of the connection 11 is connected to the copying machine, and the determination process and the like will be omitted.

<5-i> Connection mode A When the on-edge of the total check key 96 is detected (5701; YES), the timer TCK is started (S703).

Next, it is determined whether the IC card is connected or not, and if it is connected (S705; YES), the total number of copies data is read from the RAM 550 on the IC card side, and the number of copies is displayed on the operation panel of the copying machine. 72 and magnification display section 73 to display in a maximum of six digits (3707).

If it is determined in step 5705 that the IC card is not connected (5705; No), the total number of copies data is read from the RAM 206 of the copying machine, and the number of copies is displayed on the number display section 72 of the operation panel of the copying machine. It is displayed using the magnification display section 73 in a maximum of six digits (3709).

After that, when timer TCK ends (s71L; YES
), returns the display of the number display section 72 and magnification display section 73 to the original display (number display 1 magnification display) (5713)
.

(5-ii>Connection mode B When the on-edge of the total check key 96 is detected (S751; YES), first, it is determined whether the IC card 200 is connected to the copying machine or not (S753).

1605).

Thereafter, when the time specified by the timer TCK1 has elapsed (S765: YES), the total copy number count data of the IC card is returned to addresses 10H-13H (S767).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 5753 that the IC card 200 is not connected (S753: No)
, when timer TCK2 is started, it becomes soil (5761
),? jt copy machine ear frame - Tarcopi sheet number formula, sheet number display section 7
