Problems solved by technology

In this case, although the user of the image forming apparatus can be presented with an operation method from a remote location, when an operation performed only by a maintenance personnel or a system administrator is performed from a remote operation terminal, there are cases where it is not desirable to disclose the contents of the operation to general users.
In addition, when the user of the image forming apparatus side performs an operation input from the operation unit without knowing that the remote operation is in progress during the remote operation from the remote operation terminal, there is a possibility that the operation instruction will conflict.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0038] First, referring to Figure 1- Image 6 The image forming system 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0039]

[0040] A schematic configuration of an image forming system 1 is shown in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the image forming system 1 is configured such that a copying machine 100 as a remote operation target device and a remote operation terminal 300 are communicably connected via a communication line N. In addition, in this embodiment, a copying machine as an example of an image forming apparatus is used as an example, but as an image forming apparatus, any apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium can be suitably applied, such as a facsimile machine or a printer. Wait.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 1 , in copier 100 , hard keys 122 and a display unit 130 overlapping with touch panel 124 are provided. By pressing the hard key 122 or touching the touch panel 124 , the user changes various settings o...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0096] Refer below Figure 7-Figure 10 A second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.

[0097] In the image forming system 2 shown in the second embodiment, the same components as those in the image forming system 1 shown in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof are omitted. The characteristic configuration and processing in the second embodiment will be described below.

[0098] In the image forming system 2 , a series of operation information operated remotely is recorded and reproduced in the remote operation terminal 300 . When the user performs a click operation on the remote operation screen 400 with the mouse 322 , operation information indicating the content of the operation is sent from the remote operation terminal 300 to the copier 100 side, and the operation information is recorded in the copier 100 in chronological order. In this embodiment, the accumulated and stored operation ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0120] Below, refer to Figure 11-Figure 13 A third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described.

[0121] Figure 11 The system configuration of the image forming system 3 in the third embodiment is shown in . Such as Figure 11 As shown, the image forming system 3 is communicably connected to the copiers 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d and the remote operation terminal 300 via the communication line N.

[0122] Since the copiers 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d have the same configuration as the copier 100 shown in the second embodiment, the same structural parts are denoted by a, b, c, and d respectively, and their configurations are omitted. show and explain. In addition, since the configuration of the remote operation terminal 300 is substantially the same as that of the remote operation terminal 300 shown in the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same configuration parts, and the description of the configuration will be ...

Abstract

The present invention provided an equipment, operation terminal and equipment monitor method. An apparatus including: a reception section to receive operation information from an operation terminal; a display section; and a controller that selectively executes a first control to display in the display section an operation screen corresponding to the operation information received by the reception section, and a second control not to display the operation screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device as an operation control object, an operation terminal for controlling the operation of the device, and a monitoring method for the device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, image forming apparatuses such as copiers, facsimile machines, and printers have been widely known as devices to be operated. Various techniques have been proposed for image forming apparatuses in order to improve user convenience and operability. As a representative example, an operation panel including an integrated display device and a touch panel has been put into practical use in many image forming apparatuses. When the user operates an operation unit such as a touch panel or operation keys to change settings such as density and contrast during image formation, an image is formed on a recording medium according to the setting content and output. [0003] In addition, a system capable of remotely operating an image forming ...
