[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and an image forming apparatus. [Background technology]

[0002] Some information processing devices such as image forming devices have a rectangular display unit with long and short sides, and the display screen can be rotated between portrait and landscape orientations. The following Patent Document 1 describes an image forming device that has a rectangular display unit with long and short sides, and a rotation mechanism that rotates the display unit between landscape orientation with the long side facing up and portrait orientation with the short side facing up. The following Patent Documents 2 and 3 also describe image forming devices that display an error message when an error occurs. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2021-100210 A [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 07-306582 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 08-099742 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Many image forming devices have display units that are landscape oriented, and error messages are generally displayed on a display screen that is designed for a landscape display unit. However, when the orientation of the display unit is switched from landscape to portrait, if an error message that is designed to be displayed on a landscape display unit is reduced to fit the width of the display area in portrait orientation while maintaining the aspect ratio, the content of the error message becomes difficult for the user to see.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to display an error message in a way that makes it easy for the user to recognize the content of the error message even when the display unit is rotatable and the orientation is switched from landscape to portrait. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] An information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a rectangular display unit having a long side and a short side, a rotation mechanism that enables the display unit to be rotated between a landscape orientation in which the long side is up and a portrait orientation in which the short side is up and down, a detection sensor that detects whether the display unit is in a landscape or portrait orientation, and a control unit that, when an error occurs, displays an error screen on the display unit having an image and text indicating the content of the error, wherein the control unit arranges, on the error screen, an image display area (an example of a first display area) for displaying the image and a text display area (an example of a second display area) for displaying the text, and when the detection sensor detects that the display unit is in a landscape orientation, arranges the image display area and the text display area side by side, and when the detection sensor detects that the display unit is in a portrait orientation, arranges the image display area and the text display area vertically.

[0007] An image forming apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention comprises an information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention and an image forming unit that forms an image on a recording medium, and the control unit causes the display unit to display the error screen regarding an error related to the operation of the image forming unit. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, when the display unit is oriented horizontally, the image display area and the text display area are arranged horizontally, but when the display unit is oriented vertically, the image display area and the text display area are arranged vertically, so that it is possible to reduce the reduction rate when changing the size of the display screen intended for a horizontal display unit to that for a vertical display unit. Therefore, even if the orientation of the display unit is switched from horizontal to vertical, the content of the error display can be displayed in a way that is easy for the user to recognize.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] An information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is, for example, an image forming device. FIG. 1 is a front cross-sectional view showing the structure of an image forming device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing a schematic main internal configuration of an image forming device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the following, left, right, top, and bottom directions may be indicated, but these indicate directions as examples in each drawing unless otherwise specified.

[0011] The image forming apparatus 1 is a multifunction machine having multiple functions such as a copy function, a printer function, a scanner function, and a facsimile function. The image forming apparatus 1 includes a control unit 10, a document feed unit 6, a document reading unit 5, an image forming unit 12, a fixing unit 13, a paper feed unit 14, an operation unit 47, a network interface unit 91, and a storage unit 8.

[0012] The document feed unit 6 is configured to be openable and closable by a hinge or the like (not shown) on the top surface of the document reading unit 5. The document feed unit 6 functions as a document pressing cover when the document reading unit 5 reads a document placed on a platen glass (not shown). The document feed unit 6 is also an ADF (Auto Document Feeder), and includes a document placement tray (not shown), and supplies the document placed on the document placement tray to the document reading unit 5.

[0013] The document reading unit 5 includes a scanner and the like, and reads a document fed from a document feeding unit 6, or reads a document placed on a platen glass.

[0014] A description will be given of a case where a document reading operation is performed by the image forming apparatus 1. The document reading unit 5 optically reads an image of a document supplied to the document reading unit 5 by the document feeding unit 6 or a document placed on the platen glass, and generates image data. The image data generated by the document reading unit 5 is stored in an image memory or the like (not shown).

[0015] A case where an image forming operation is performed by the image forming apparatus 1 will be described. The image forming unit 12 is a mechanism that includes a photoconductor drum, a charging device, an exposure device, a developing device, and a primary transfer device for each color, and forms an image on a recording paper by secondary transfer via an intermediate transfer belt. The image forming unit 12 forms a toner image on a recording paper as a recording medium fed from a paper feed unit 14 based on image data generated by a document reading operation, image data stored in an image memory, etc., image data received from a computer connected to a network, etc., to create a printed matter. The paper feed unit 14 includes a paper feed cassette, and further includes a pickup roller that picks up the recording paper from the paper feed cassette and feeds it to the image forming unit 12, a transport roller, a transport path, and a rotation drive mechanism for each roller.

[0016] The fixing unit 13 is a fixing device equipped with a heat roller, a pressure roller, and a drive mechanism for rotating these, and heats and presses the recording paper on which a toner image has been formed by the image forming unit 12 at the nip between the above-mentioned two rollers, thereby fixing the toner image to the recording paper, and the recording paper that has been subjected to the fixed process is discharged into an output tray (not shown).

[0017] The operation unit 47 includes various hard keys operated by the user, and receives instructions from the user, such as an instruction to execute an image forming operation, for various operations and processes that the image forming apparatus 1 can execute in response to the operation of the hard keys.

[0018] The operation unit 47 includes a display unit 473 that displays operation guidance and the like to the operator, a rotation mechanism 474, a holding mechanism 475, and a detection sensor 476. The operation unit 47 also receives input of instructions from the user based on the user's operation (touch operation) on the screen displayed on the display unit 473 via a touch panel that the display unit 473 has.

[0019] The display unit 473 is a rectangular display having long and short sides, and is made up of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like. When the operator touches a button or key displayed on the screen, the touch panel receives an instruction associated with the touched position. In this case, the touch panel functions as an operation unit.

[0020] The holding mechanism 475 is an arm-shaped member that attaches the display unit 473 to the device body 120 of the image forming apparatus 1. The holding mechanism 475 rotatably supports the display unit 473 relative to the holding mechanism 475, and temporarily fixes and holds the display unit 473 in each of the horizontal and vertical orientations. The holding mechanism 475 has engagement parts made of recesses provided at positions facing the display unit 473, at positions corresponding to the horizontal and vertical orientation positions of the display unit 473. A protrusion that fits with the engagement part is provided on the side of the display unit 473 facing the holding mechanism 475. When the display unit 473 is in the horizontal orientation (FIGS. 3(A) and (G)) or the vertical orientation (FIG. 3(D)), these recesses and protrusions fit together, and the orientation of the display unit 473 is fixed and held.

[0021] The rotation mechanism 474 is interposed between the holding mechanism 475 and the display unit 473. That is, the holding mechanism 475 rotatably supports the display unit 473 via the rotation mechanism 474. The rotation mechanism 474 includes a rotation shaft, which is rotatably supported by the holding mechanism 475. The rotation shaft is attached to the rectangular center of the side surface of the display unit 473 facing the holding mechanism 475 in a state in which it rotates together with the display unit 473. A cam (described later) that rotates together with the rotation shaft is provided on the circumferential surface of the rotation shaft.

[0022] 3(A) to (G) are diagrams for explaining an example of rotation of the display unit 473. The horizontally oriented display unit 473 shown in FIG. 3(A) rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 3 to become vertically oriented as shown in FIG. 3(B) to (D). The vertically oriented display unit 473 shown in FIG. 3(D) rotates clockwise to become horizontally oriented as shown in FIG. 3(E) to (G).

[0023] That is, the rotation mechanism 474 is configured to switch the display unit 473 from landscape to portrait orientation by rotating the display unit 473 in a counterclockwise direction in Fig. 3 as viewed from the front side of the display unit 473. Note that the range of the rotation angle of the display unit 473 is not limited to 90 degrees, but here, the case where the range of the rotation angle is 90 degrees is taken as an example. However, the rotation direction of the display unit 473 and the configuration for switching the display unit 473 from landscape to portrait orientation are not limited to this, and this embodiment is merely an example.

[0024] The detection sensor 476 is a switch mechanism that detects the landscape orientation and portrait orientation of the display unit 473. The switch mechanism is provided at a position where it is pressed by a cam lobe (convex portion) of the cam attached to the rotation shaft when the display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation. When the switch mechanism is pressed by the cam lobe, it outputs an ON signal (Low signal) to the control unit 10. In other words, the switch mechanism is disposed at a position where it is not pressed by the cam lobe when the display unit 473 is in any orientation other than the portrait orientation.

[0025] The above-mentioned configuration of rotation mechanism 474, which switches display unit 473 from landscape to portrait by rotating display unit 473 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 3 when viewed from the surface of display unit 473, employs, for example, a configuration in which the cam lobe can enter the switch mechanism only when display unit 473 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction and is not possible when display unit 473 is rotated in the clockwise direction (such as providing a convex portion on the outer edge of the switch mechanism that engages with the cam lobe on the path of entry of the cam lobe into the switch mechanism from the clockwise direction).

[0026] 4(A) and (B) are diagrams for explaining changes in a signal output from detection sensor 476 provided at a position corresponding to the portrait orientation of display unit 473. As shown in Fig. 4(A) and (B), detection sensor 476 provided at a position corresponding to the portrait orientation of display unit 473 outputs a Low signal to control unit 10 when display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation (when the switch mechanism is pressed by the cam lobe), and outputs a High signal to control unit 10 otherwise (when the switch mechanism is not pressed by the cam lobe).

[0027] Therefore, the detection sensor 476 outputs a Low signal to the control unit 10 when the display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation shown in Fig. 3(D), but outputs a High signal to the control unit 10 when the display unit 473 is in an orientation other than the portrait orientation shown in Fig. 3(D). As a result, the control unit 100, which will be described later, determines whether the display unit 473 is in a portrait orientation or an orientation other than the portrait orientation based on the signal output from the detection sensor 476. Specifically, the control unit 100 determines that the display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation when the display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation shown in Fig. 3(D), and determines that the display unit 473 is in the landscape orientation in all other orientations.

[0028] The network interface unit 91 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving various data to and from an external device (for example, a personal computer) within a local area or on the Internet.

[0029] The storage unit 8 is a large-capacity storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD), and stores various control programs and the like.

[0030] The control unit 10 includes a processor, a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and a dedicated hardware circuit. The processor is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a micro processing unit (MPU). The control unit 10 includes a control unit 100.

[0031] The control unit 10 functions as a control unit 100 by the operation of the processor in accordance with a control program stored in the storage unit 8. However, the control unit 100 can also be configured by a hardware circuit, without relying on the operation of the control unit 10 in accordance with a control program. The same applies to each embodiment below unless otherwise specified.

[0032] The control unit 100 is responsible for controlling the overall operation of the image forming apparatus 1. The control unit 100 is connected to the document feeding unit 6, the document reading unit 5, the image forming unit 12, the fixing unit 13, the paper feeding unit 14, the operation unit 47, the network interface unit 91, and the storage unit 8, and performs drive control of these units. For example, the control unit 100 executes various processes necessary for image formation by the image forming apparatus 1.

[0033] The control unit 100 also controls the display of the display unit 473. For example, the control unit 100 causes the display unit 473 to display an operation screen SC1 as shown in FIG. 5 as a "home screen". The operation screen SC1 has operation keys K1 to K7 called "application icons" or the like arranged thereon. For example, the operation key K4 is an icon with the character string "Copy" and a picture of "Copy". The operation screen SC1 also has operation keys K11 to K16 called "task icons" or the like arranged at the top end, and operation keys K21 and K23 arranged at the right end.

[0034] The control unit 100 performs control based on instructions received by the operation unit 47. For example, when the operation unit 47 receives an instruction for the operation key K4 via the touch panel, the control unit 100 performs display control of the display unit 473 in accordance with the instruction, and transitions the operation screen displayed on the display unit 473 from a "home screen" to a "copy screen" as shown in FIG.

[0035] Based on the detection result by the detection sensor 476, the control unit 100 causes the display unit 473 to display a screen corresponding to the attitude of the display unit 473. Specifically, the control unit 100 controls the display unit 473 based on the detection signal output from the detection sensor 476, and causes the display unit 473 to display a screen corresponding to the attitude of the display unit 473. For example, when the operation screen SC2 shown in Fig. 6 is displayed on the display unit 473, if the detection sensor 476 detects that the display unit 473 has switched from the landscape orientation to the portrait orientation, the control unit 100 transitions the screen displayed on the display unit 473 from the operation screen SC2 (Fig. 6) to an operation screen SC3 as shown in Fig. 7.

[0036] Conversely, when the operation screen SC3 shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 473 and the detection sensor 476 detects that the display unit 473 has switched from portrait to landscape orientation, the control unit 100 transitions the screen displayed on the display unit 473 from the operation screen SC3 (FIG. 7) to the operation screen SC2 (FIG. 6).

[0037] The control unit 100 detects the occurrence of errors such as paper jams, toner exhaustion, and device malfunctions based on output signals acquired from various sensors (not shown) provided at various locations within the image forming apparatus 1. For example, the control unit 100 detects the occurrence of an error when (i) an output signal from a paper presence / absence detection sensor installed in a recording paper transport path provided within the image forming apparatus 1 during recording paper transport maintains a state indicating the presence of paper for a predetermined fixed period of time, (ii) an output signal from a toner empty sensor indicates the absence of toner, and (iii) an output signal from a door open / close detection sensor provided in the device body indicates the door is open, etc. Furthermore, the control unit 100 detects the occurrence of an error related to the image forming operation by the image forming unit 12 based on the contents of the output signals from the various sensors, or identifies the contents of the error that has occurred.

[0038] Furthermore, information (e.g., image data, text data) required for creating an error screen according to the content of the error that has occurred is prestored in storage unit 8. Control unit 100 acquires the information required for creating an error screen from storage unit 8 according to the content of the error that has occurred, creates an error screen based on the acquired information, and causes display unit 473 to display the created error screen.

[0039] Figures 8 (A) and (B) are diagrams showing examples of error screens displayed on display unit 473. In error screens E1 and E2 shown in Figures 8 (A) and (B), an image display area A1 (area surrounded by a dashed line) for displaying an image and a text display area A2 (area surrounded by a dashed line) for displaying text are arranged, with an image G1 being displayed in the image display area A1 and text T1 being displayed in the text display area A2.

[0040] The aspect ratio of the error screen E1 is determined so that it can be displayed on the landscape display unit 473. In the error screen E1, the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are arranged side by side, and the sizes of the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are set so that they can be displayed at their maximum size in the landscape display area of ​​the landscape display unit 473. As an example of the error screen E1, the text display area A2 is arranged to the right of the image display area A1.

[0041] On the other hand, the aspect ratio of the error screen E2 is determined so that it can be displayed on the portrait-oriented display unit 473. In the error screen E2, the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are arranged vertically, and the sizes of the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are set so that they can be displayed at their maximum size in the vertically elongated displayable area of ​​the portrait-oriented display unit 473. As an example of the error screen E2, the text display area A2 is arranged above the image display area A1.

[0042] Next, an example of a process related to display control by the control unit 100 in association with a change in the attitude of the display unit will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0043] When control unit 100 detects the occurrence of an error based on output signals obtained from the various sensors (S1), it obtains information (e.g., image data, text data) necessary for creating an error screen from storage unit 8 according to the content of the error that has occurred (S2). Then, control unit 100 determines whether display unit 473 is in portrait orientation based on a signal from detection sensor 476 (S3).

[0044] If control unit 100 determines that display unit 473 is not in portrait orientation, i.e., in landscape orientation (YES in S3), it creates an error screen E1 for display on display unit 473 in landscape orientation, in which image G1 and text T1 are arranged side-by-side, as shown in FIG. 8(A), based on the information acquired above (S4), and causes display unit 473 to display the created error screen E1 (S5).

[0045] On the other hand, if the control unit 100 determines that the display unit 473 is in portrait orientation (NO in S3), it creates an error screen E2 in which the image G1 and text T1 are arranged vertically, as shown in FIG. 8(B), based on the information acquired above (S6), and displays the created error screen E2 on the display unit 473 (S5).

[0046] Next, the control unit 100 judges whether the error that occurred has been resolved based on the output signals acquired from the various sensors (S7). If the control unit 100 judges that the error has been resolved (YES in S7), it makes the error screen E1 or E2 displayed on the display unit 473 at this point in time non-display (S8). After this, the processing ends.

[0047] On the other hand, when the control unit 100 determines that the error has not been resolved (NO in S7), it determines whether the attitude of the display unit 473 has changed based on the output signal from the detection sensor 476 (S9).

[0048] When the control unit 100 determines that the orientation of the display unit 473 has changed (YES in S9), the process returns to S3. Thereafter, the control unit 100 performs the process from S3 onward for displaying an error screen on the display unit 473 according to the orientation of the display unit 473. On the other hand, when the control unit 100 determines that the orientation of the display unit 473 has not changed (NO in S9), the process returns to S7.

[0049] According to the above embodiment, when the display unit 473 is in the landscape orientation, the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are arranged side by side, but when the display unit 473 is in the portrait orientation, the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 are arranged vertically, so that the reduction ratio can be reduced when changing the size of the display screen intended to be displayed on the landscape display unit 473 to that for display in the portrait orientation. For example, it is not necessary to reduce and display an error display intended to be displayed on a landscape display unit to match the width of the display area in the portrait orientation while maintaining the aspect ratio. Therefore, even if the orientation of the display unit 473 is switched from the landscape orientation to the portrait orientation, the content of the error display can be displayed in a way that is easy for the user to recognize.

[0050] Incidentally, the display unit 473 rotates its surface counterclockwise when viewed from the front, switching its orientation from landscape to portrait. Therefore, if the display area (text display area A2) arranged horizontally on the right side of the image display area A1 and text display area A2 is arranged vertically at the bottom, discontinuity occurs in the display of the image G1 and text T1 when the orientation of the display unit 473 switches, causing a sense of discomfort to the user.

[0051] However, in the above embodiment, of the image display area A1 and the text display area A2, the display area (text display area A2) that is arranged on the right side in a horizontal arrangement is arranged on the upper side in a vertical arrangement. Therefore, even if the posture of the display unit 473 is changed, the continuity of the display of the image G1 and the text T1 is maintained, thereby making it possible to avoid the above-mentioned sense of discomfort.

[0052] Unlike the above embodiment, when a configuration is adopted in which the rotation mechanism 474 rotates the display unit 473 in a clockwise direction as viewed from the surface of the display unit 473 to switch the display unit 473 from landscape to portrait, the control unit 100 arranges the display area (image display area A1) arranged horizontally on the left side of the image display area A1 and the text display area A2 vertically on the upper side. This makes it possible to maintain the continuity of the display of the image G1 and the text T1 when the attitude of the display unit 473 is switched, even if the configuration of the rotation mechanism 474 is changed.

[0053] The above-mentioned configuration of rotation mechanism 474 that switches display unit 473 from landscape to portrait by rotating display unit 473 in a clockwise direction in FIG. 3 as viewed from the surface of display unit 473 employs, for example, a configuration in which the cam lobe can enter the switch mechanism only when display unit 473 rotates in a clockwise direction and is not possible when display unit 473 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction (such as providing a convex portion on the outer edge of the switch mechanism that engages with the cam lobe on the entry path of the cam lobe into the switch mechanism from the counterclockwise direction).

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, the control unit 100 causes the display unit 473 to display an image display area as the first display area, and a text display area as the second display area, but is not limited to this, and both the first display area and the second display area may be image display areas, both the first display area and the second display area may be text display areas, or the first display area may be a text display area displayed on the display unit 473, and the second display area may be an image display area.

[0055] The information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a personal computer or the like, and includes at least an operation unit 47, a display unit 473, a rotation mechanism 474, a detection sensor 476, and a control unit 100. The image forming unit 12 is not an essential component of the information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Even when the control unit 100 causes the display unit 473 to display image data stored in, for example, a built-in memory or HDD, the control unit 100 performs display control associated with the change in the attitude of the display unit 473 by the control unit 100 described above. In this case, the process related to image formation described above is not performed as a matter of course.

[0056] In addition, in image forming apparatus 1, memory unit 8 has a document box as its memory area, and when image data to be displayed on display unit 473 is stored in the document box, control unit 100 also performs display control in association with changes in the attitude of display unit 473 by control unit 100 described above when displaying this image data on display unit 473.

[0057] In addition, in the above embodiment, the configuration and processing shown in the above embodiment using FIGS. 1 to 9 are merely one embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these configurations and processing. [Explanation of symbols]
