Description

画像形成装置および画像形成システムImage forming apparatus and image forming system
　本発明は、画像形成装置および画像形成システムに関するものである。 The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and an image forming system.
　近年、携帯電話機、スマートフォン、タブレット型パーソナルコンピューターなどといった携帯端末装置が普及している。 In recent years, mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet personal computers have become widespread.
　ある情報処理システムでは、携帯端末装置に対するユーザー操作に応じて、携帯端末装置が、データファイルから印刷データを生成し、生成した印刷データを複合機へ送信し、複合機は、その印刷データに基づく印刷を行っている（例えば特許文献１参照）。 In an information processing system, a mobile terminal device generates print data from a data file in response to a user operation on the mobile terminal device, transmits the generated print data to the multifunction device, and the multifunction device is based on the print data. Printing is performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特開２０１０－２４１１１４号公報JP 2010-241114 A
　アップル社製のｉＯＳ、グーグル社製のＡｎｄｒｏｉｄ　ＯＳなどといった携帯端末装置用プラットフォームでは、インストール可能なアプリケーションなどが制限されている。各アプリケーションがすべてのプリンターのドライバー機能を内蔵することは困難であるため、各プリンターベンダーから提供される、自社プリンター用の特殊アプリケーションを除き、ウェブブラウザーなどの汎用アプリケーションを操作することでユーザー所望のプリンターを使用して印刷を行うことは困難である。 On mobile terminal device platforms such as Apple's iOS and Google's Android OS, installable applications are limited. Since it is difficult for each application to incorporate the driver functions of all printers, user-specified applications can be obtained by operating general-purpose applications such as web browsers, excluding special applications for in-house printers provided by each printer vendor. It is difficult to print using a printer.
　一方、そのような携帯端末装置用プラットフォームを搭載した携帯端末装置を所持しているユーザーの多くは、プラットフォームの技術的なしくみなどに詳しくなく、プラットフォームの構造を意識することなく使用している。そのため、通常のパーソナルコンピューターであればプリンターなどを使用して印刷を行えるのに対して、このような携帯端末装置から印刷ができない場合、そのようなユーザーはストレスを感じることが多い。 On the other hand, many users who own mobile terminal devices equipped with such a platform for mobile terminal devices are not familiar with the technical mechanism of the platform and use it without being aware of the platform structure. Therefore, while a normal personal computer can perform printing using a printer or the like, such a user often feels stress when printing cannot be performed from such a portable terminal device.
　また、特殊アプリケーションを使用することで、ユーザーは、上述のような携帯端末装置を操作して、所望の画像形成装置で印刷を行わせることが可能であるが、そのような場合でも、ユーザーが、汎用ブラウザーなどで、地図などの画面スクロールしながら閲覧するようなコンテンツを閲覧している際に、コンテンツにおける閲覧中の部位を印刷したいと思ったときに、別途、特殊アプリケーションで印刷設定、印刷要求などの操作を行うことになる。そのため、携帯端末装置に表示される画面が、特殊アプリケーションの画面に切り替わるため、コンテンツにおける閲覧していた部位の情報が失われてしまい、ユーザーが所望する部位を印刷させることが困難である。 Further, by using the special application, the user can operate the portable terminal device as described above to perform printing with a desired image forming apparatus. When you are browsing content such as a map while scrolling on a general-purpose browser, etc., and you want to print the part being browsed in the content, print settings and print with a special application separately An operation such as a request is performed. For this reason, since the screen displayed on the mobile terminal device is switched to the screen of the special application, information on the part that was browsed in the content is lost, and it is difficult to print the part desired by the user.
　本発明は、上記の問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、携帯端末装置のユーザーが携帯端末装置に対して複雑な操作をすることなくそのユーザーが所望する画面画像を印刷することができる画像形成装置および画像形成システムを得ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problem, and image formation that allows a user of a mobile terminal device to print a screen image desired by the user without performing complicated operations on the mobile terminal device.

To send.
　次に、上記システムにおける携帯端末装置２の画面印刷について説明する。 Next, screen printing of the mobile terminal device 2 in the above system will be described.
　図６および図７は、携帯端末装置２の画面印刷を行う際の図２に示す画像形成装置１の動作について説明するフローチャートである。 6 and 7 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the image forming apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2 when screen printing of the portable terminal device 2 is performed.
　まず、ユーザーは、携帯端末装置２を操作して、所望のアプリケーションで所望のコンテンツを画面に表示させる。そして、ユーザーは、携帯端末装置２を携帯して、画像形成装置１の設置場所へ移動する。なお、移動後、携帯端末装置２と画像形成装置１とを有線インターフェイスで接続する場合には、ユーザーは、ケーブルで携帯端末装置２と画像形成装置１とを接続する。 First, the user operates the mobile terminal device 2 to display a desired content on a screen with a desired application. Then, the user carries the mobile terminal device 2 and moves to the installation location of the image forming apparatus 1. When the mobile terminal device 2 and the image forming apparatus 1 are connected by a wired interface after the movement, the user connects the mobile terminal device 2 and the image forming apparatus 1 with a cable.
　画像形成装置１では、端末検出モードが設定されている場合、端末検出部４１が、上述のように通信可能な携帯端末装置２の有無を監視している（ステップＳ１，Ｓ２）。 In the image forming apparatus 1, when the terminal detection mode is set, the terminal detection unit 41 monitors the presence / absence of the portable terminal device 2 capable of communication as described above (steps S1 and S2).
　したがって、画面出力処理部７１が起動している登録済みの携帯端末装置２が接近してきた場合、その携帯端末装置２は、端末検出部４１により検出され、その携帯端末装置２についての図７に示す端末管理処理が開始される（ステップＳ３）。なお、検出された携帯端末装置２に対する端末管理処理が開始された後、ステップＳ１に戻り、端末検出部４１は、上述のように通信可能な他の携帯端末装置２の有無を監視する。つまり、複数の携帯端末装置２が検出された場合、各携帯端末装置２について端末管理処理が実行される。 Therefore, when the registered mobile terminal device 2 in which the screen output processing unit 71 is activated approaches, the mobile terminal device 2 is detected by the terminal detection unit 41, and FIG. The terminal management process shown is started (step S3). In addition, after the terminal management process with respect to the detected portable terminal device 2 is started, it returns to step S1, and the terminal detection part 41 monitors the presence or absence of the other portable terminal device 2 which can communicate as mentioned above. That is, when a plurality of mobile terminal devices 2 are detected, the terminal management process is executed for each mobile terminal device 2.
　端末管理処理では、ユーザーインターフェイス部４２は、検出された携帯端末装置２に対応する端末画面印刷ボタンを表示装置２１に表示させる（ステップＳ１１）。 In the terminal management process, the user interface unit 42 causes the display device 21 to display a terminal screen print button corresponding to the detected mobile terminal device 2 (step S11).
　その後、表示されている端末画面印刷ボタンがユーザーにより押下されたことが入力装置２２で検出された場合（ステップＳ１２）、画面データ取得部４３は、その端末画面印刷ボタンに対応する携帯端末装置２へ画面データの送信要求を送信し、携帯端末装置２から画面データを受信する（ステップＳ１３）。 Thereafter, when the input device 22 detects that the displayed terminal screen print button has been pressed by the user (step S12), the screen data acquisition unit 43 selects the mobile terminal device 2 corresponding to the terminal screen print button. A screen data transmission request is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 2 and screen data is received from the portable terminal device 2 (step S13).
　このとき、携帯端末装置２では、画面出力処理部７１は、その送信要求を受信すると、現在表示されている画面をキャプチャーし、キャプチャーで得られた画像データを画面データとして携帯端末装置２へ送信する。 At this time, in the mobile terminal device 2, when receiving the transmission request, the screen output processing unit 71 captures the currently displayed screen and transmits the image data obtained by the capture to the mobile terminal device 2 as screen data. To do.
　携帯端末装置２から画面データが取得されると、印刷処理部４４は、画面データに対して所定の画像処理（データ形式の変換、解像度変換、色変換、スクリーン処理など）を行うことで印刷用画像データを生成し、印刷用画像データに基づいて、キャプチャーされた画面の画像を印刷装置１２で印刷する（ステップＳ１４）。 When screen data is acquired from the mobile terminal device 2, the print processing unit 44 performs predetermined image processing (data format conversion, resolution conversion, color conversion, screen processing, etc.) on the screen data for printing. Image data is generated, and the captured screen image is printed by the printing device 12 based on the printing image data (step S14).
　また、ステップＳ１１において端末画面印刷ボタンの表示を開始した後、端末検出部４１は、定期的に、端末画面印刷ボタンに対応する携帯端末装置２が通信可能な状態にあるか否かを監視し（ステップＳ１５）、端末画面印刷ボタンに対応する携帯端末装置２が通信可能な状態にないと判定した場合には、ユーザーインターフェイス部４２は、その端末画面印刷ボタンの表示を終了する（ステップＳ１６）。これにより、この携帯端末装置２に対する端末管理処理は終了する。 In addition, after starting the display of the terminal screen print button in step S11, the terminal detection unit 41 periodically monitors whether the mobile terminal device 2 corresponding to the terminal screen print button is in a communicable state. (Step S15) When it is determined that the mobile terminal device 2 corresponding to the terminal screen print button is not in a communicable state, the user interface unit 42 ends the display of the terminal screen print button (Step S16). . Thereby, the terminal management process with respect to the portable terminal device 2 ends.
　以上のように、上記実施の形態によれば、端末検出部４１は、通信装置１４による無線インターフェイスまたは有線インターフェイスで通信可能な携帯端末装置２を検出する。ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、携帯端末装置２が検出された場合に操作部を表示装置２１に表示させ、その操作部に対するユーザー操作を入力装置２２で検出する。画面データ取得部４３は、その操作部に対するユーザー操作が検出されると、現時点で携帯端末装置２に表示されている画面の画面データの送信要求を携帯端末装置２へ送信し、送信要求に対して携帯端末装置２から送信されてきた画面データを受信する。印刷処理部４４は、受信された画面データに基づく画面画像を印刷装置１２で印刷する。 As described above, according to the above embodiment, the terminal detection unit 41 detects the mobile terminal device 2 that can communicate with the wireless interface or the wired interface of the communication device 14. When the mobile terminal device 2 is detected, the user interface processing unit 42 displays an operation unit on the display device 21 and detects a user operation on the operation unit with the input device 22. When a user operation on the operation unit is detected, the screen data acquisition unit 43 transmits a screen data transmission request for the screen currently displayed on the mobile terminal device 2 to the mobile terminal device 2, and responds to the transmission request. The screen data transmitted from the mobile terminal device 2 is received. The print processing unit 44 prints a screen image based on the received screen data with the printing device 12.
　これにより、携帯端末装置２のユーザーが携帯端末装置２に対して複雑な操作をすることなくそのユーザーが所望する画面画像を印刷することができる。 Thereby, the user of the mobile terminal device 2 can print a screen image desired by the user without performing a complicated operation on the mobile terminal device 2.
　なお、上述の実施の形態は、例示および説明を目的として示したものであり、これがすべてではなく、発明をこの形態に限定するものではない。 In addition, the above-mentioned embodiment is shown for the purpose of illustration and explanation, and this is not all, and the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
　例えば、上記実施の形態において、画面データ取得部４３は、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２により上述の操作部に対するユーザー操作が検出されると、画面データの送信を許可するか否かを入力するためのダイアログを携帯端末装置２に表示させ、ダイアログに対して画面データの送信を許可するための操作が携帯端末装置２において検出された場合、送信要求に対して携帯端末装置２から送信されてきた画面データを受信し、ダイアログに対して画面データの送信を許可しないための操作が検出された場合、画面データを受信せず、画面画像の印刷を中止するようにしてもよい。その場合、例えば、そのダイアログは、送信許可および送信拒否のソフトキーを含み、画面データ取得部４３からの画面データ送信要求を受信すると、携帯端末装置２の画面出力処理部７１は、（ａ）画面データを生成し、（ｂ）画面データの生成後、そのダイアログを表示させ、（ｃ１）送信許可のソフトキーに対するユーザー操作を検出すると、ダイアログの表示を終了し、その画面データを画面データ取得部４３に送信し、（ｃ２）送信拒否のソフトキーに対するユーザー操作を検出すると、ダイアログの表示を終了し、その画面データを破棄し、送信拒否通知を画面データ取得部４３に送信する。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the user interface processing unit 42 detects a user operation on the above-described operation unit, the screen data acquisition unit 43 is a dialog for inputting whether to permit transmission of screen data. Is displayed on the mobile terminal device 2 and the screen data transmitted from the mobile terminal device 2 in response to the transmission request is detected in the mobile terminal device 2 when an operation for permitting transmission of screen data to the dialog is detected. When the operation for not permitting the transmission of the screen data to the dialog is detected, the screen data may not be received and the printing of the screen image may be stopped. In that case, for example, when the dialog includes a transmission permission and transmission rejection soft key and receives a screen data transmission request from the screen data acquisition unit 43, the screen output processing unit 71 of the mobile terminal device 2 (a) (B) After the screen data is generated, the dialog is displayed. (C1) When a user operation for the transmission-permitted soft key is detected, the display of the dialog is terminated and the screen data is acquired. When the user operation on the soft key for transmission rejection is detected (c2), the dialog display is terminated, the screen data is discarded, and a transmission rejection notification is transmitted to the screen data acquisition unit 43.

　また、上記実施の形態において、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、当該画像形成装置１にログイン中のユーザーの携帯端末装置２が検出された場合に、上述の操作部を操作可能な状態で表示装置２１に表示させ、当該画像形成装置１にログイン中のユーザーとは異なるユーザーの携帯端末装置２が検出された場合に、上述の操作部を表示しないか、例えば図８における端末画面印刷ボタン１０２のようにグレイアウトさせて、操作不能の状態で（つまり、操作が検出されても、対応する所定の処理を行わない状態で）表示装置２１に表示させるようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the user interface processing unit 42 displays the display device 21 in a state where the above-described operation unit can be operated when the mobile terminal device 2 of the user who is logged in to the image forming apparatus 1 is detected. When the mobile terminal device 2 of a user different from the user who is logged in to the image forming apparatus 1 is detected, the above-described operation unit is not displayed or, for example, the terminal screen print button 102 in FIG. The display device 21 may be displayed in a grayed-out state in an inoperable state (that is, even when an operation is detected, a corresponding predetermined process is not performed).
　さらに、上記実施の形態において、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、端末検出部４１により携帯端末装置２が検出された場合に、最初に上述の操作部を操作不能の状態で表示装置２１に表示させ、所定の解除コードの入力が入力装置２２または携帯端末装置２で検出されると、その操作部を操作可能の状態で表示装置２１に表示させるようにしてもよい。この場合、例えば図８に示すように、端末画面印刷ボタン１０１に対して所定のマーク１１１を付し、端末画面印刷ボタン１０１が押下されると、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、解除コード入力用のダイアログを表示させ、解除コードの入力を検出すると、解除コードが正しいか否かを判定する。そして、正しい解除コードが入力された場合には、マーク１１１が消去され、操作可能な状態で端末画面印刷ボタン１０１が表示される。一方、正しくない解除コードが入力された場合には、マーク１１１が引き続き表示され、操作不能な状態で端末画面印刷ボタン１０１が表示される。なお、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、解除コード入力用のダイアログを携帯端末装置２に表示させ、入力された解除コードを携帯端末装置２から取得するようにしてもよい。また、解除コードは、端末登録データ３１において、携帯端末装置２またはユーザーに関連付けて予め登録しておいてもよいし、携帯端末装置２において予め登録しておき、端末検出部４１が携帯端末装置２を検出した際に携帯端末装置２から取得するようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the mobile terminal device 2 is detected by the terminal detection unit 41, the user interface processing unit 42 first displays the above-described operation unit on the display device 21 in an inoperable state. When an input of a predetermined release code is detected by the input device 22 or the portable terminal device 2, the operation unit may be displayed on the display device 21 in an operable state. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when a predetermined mark 111 is given to the terminal screen print button 101 and the terminal screen print button 101 is pressed, the user interface processing unit 42 is used to input a release code. When the dialog is displayed and the input of the release code is detected, it is determined whether or not the release code is correct. When the correct release code is input, the mark 111 is deleted and the terminal screen print button 101 is displayed in an operable state. On the other hand, when an incorrect release code is input, the mark 111 is continuously displayed, and the terminal screen print button 101 is displayed in an inoperable state. Note that the user interface processing unit 42 may display a cancellation code input dialog on the mobile terminal device 2 and acquire the input cancellation code from the mobile terminal device 2. Further, the release code may be registered in advance in the terminal registration data 31 in association with the mobile terminal device 2 or the user, or registered in advance in the mobile terminal device 2 so that the terminal detection unit 41 can perform the mobile terminal device. You may make it acquire from the portable terminal device 2, when 2 is detected.
　さらに、上記実施の形態において、ユーザーインターフェイス処理部４２は、上述の操作部とともに、設定入力用操作部（例えばオプションキー）を表示装置２１に表示させ、設定入力用操作部に対するユーザー操作を入力装置２１で検出し、印刷処理部４４は、そのユーザー操作が検出された設定入力用操作部に対応する設定で、画面画像を印刷装置１２で印刷するようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the user interface processing unit 42 displays a setting input operation unit (for example, an option key) on the display device 21 together with the above-described operation unit, and performs a user operation on the setting input operation unit. 21, the print processing unit 44 may print the screen image on the printing apparatus 12 with settings corresponding to the setting input operation unit in which the user operation is detected.
　オプションキーとしては、例えば、（１）「拡大印刷」のオプションキー、（２）「ページ印刷」のオプションキーなどが使用可能である。 As the option key, for example, (1) “enlarged print” option key and (2) “page print” option key can be used.
　「拡大印刷」は、画面画像を所定の印刷用紙のサイズまで拡大させた上で印刷する設定である。その場合、画面画像の解像度を例えば７２ｄｐｉとして、画像拡大処理が実行される。 “Enlarged printing” is a setting for printing after enlarging the screen image to a predetermined size of printing paper. In that case, the image enlargement process is executed with the resolution of the screen image set to, for example, 72 dpi.
　「ページ印刷」は、携帯端末装置２の画面で表示されている画像がコンテンツの一部である場合、そのコンテンツ全体を印刷する設定である。その場合、「ページ印刷」が設定されていることが画面データの送信要求に指定され、携帯端末装置２は、画面データとして、コンテンツ全体の画像データなどを画像形成装置１へ送信すればよい。例えば、コンテンツが地図であり、地図の一部が携帯端末装置２の画面で表示されている場合に、「ページ印刷」を含む画面データの送信要求が送信されたときには、地図全体の画像データが画面データとして受信される。 “Page printing” is a setting for printing the entire content when the image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal device 2 is a part of the content. In that case, it is specified in the screen data transmission request that “page printing” is set, and the mobile terminal device 2 may transmit image data of the entire content to the image forming device 1 as the screen data. For example, when the content is a map and a part of the map is displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal device 2, when a transmission request for screen data including “page printing” is transmitted, the image data of the entire map is Received as screen data.
　さらに、上記実施の形態において、画面データとして、画面画像のビットマップデータの代わりに、画面画像の表示に使用されているデータ（例えばＨＴＭＬ（Hypertext Markup Language）ファイル）、あるいはそのデータの保管場所を示す情報（例えばＵＲＬ（Uniform Resource Locator））を使用するようにしてもよい。その場合には、画面データ取得部４３が、そのデータを取得し、そのデータから、画面画像のビットマップデータを生成する。 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, instead of the bitmap data of the screen image, the data used for displaying the screen image (for example, an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) file) or the storage location of the data is used as the screen data. Information (for example, URL (Uniform Resource Locator)) may be used. In that case, the screen data acquisition unit 43 acquires the data and generates bitmap data of the screen image from the data.
　さらに、上記実施の形態において、端末検出部４１は、端末登録データ３１に予め登録された携帯端末装置のみを通信可能な携帯端末装置として検出しているが、その代わりに、画面出力プログラム６１がインストールされているすべての携帯端末装置を通信可能な携帯端末装置として検出するようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the terminal detection part 41 is detecting as a portable terminal device which can communicate only the portable terminal device previously registered into the terminal registration data 31, the screen output program 61 is replaced with it. You may make it detect all the portable terminal devices installed as a portable terminal device which can communicate.
　また、上述の実施の形態に対する様々な変更および修正については、当業者には明らかである。そのような変更および修正は、その主題の趣旨および範囲から離れることなく、かつ、意図された利点を弱めることなく行われてもよい。つまり、そのような変更および修正が追加請求項に含まれることを意図している。 Various changes and modifications to the above-described embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the subject matter and without diminishing its intended advantages. That is, such changes and modifications are intended to be included in the appended claims.
　本発明は、例えば、スマートフォンなどの画面の印刷に適用可能である。 The present invention can be applied to printing of a screen of a smartphone or the like, for example.
