Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an image processing system including a data processing device and an image forming device communicably connected to each other, and a method for controlling the image processing system. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, with the spread of high-performance mobile terminals called smartphones, image forming apparatus cooperation apps for these mobile terminals provide functions such as scanning, printing, and job execution. For example, the copy job function searches for devices on a LAN, and configures a copy job by adding various scan setting information (e.g., color, double-sided) and print setting information (e.g., color, finishing) set by the user. By transmitting the copy job to the searched image forming apparatus, it is possible to instruct the execution of a copy. In this way, by carrying a mobile terminal, jobs can be executed with the same operation feeling without reconfiguration even when using an unspecified number of image forming apparatuses in a satellite office environment, etc. Furthermore, in the copy function of conventional image forming devices, scanned image data is temporarily stored in storage within the device, and the stored image data is printed to realize copying in sets. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which, when copying is performed in an image forming apparatus, image data is stored for a certain period of time, and printing is performed again when a print instruction is given.

Furthermore, short-distance wireless communication is possible via wireless signals such as NFC (Near Field Communication) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The image forming device 104 has information (such as an IP address or a MAC address) for connecting to the image forming device 104 via wireless LAN in an NFC communication unit or a BLE communication unit described later, and the data processing device 101 acquires connection information through short-distance wireless communication. Then, communication between the data processing device 101 and the image forming device 104 is started based on the acquired information. If the information acquired through short-distance wireless communication is information for a direct connection, the data processing device 101 and the image forming device 104 directly communicate via Wi-Fi.

[0011] -Hardware configuration of data processing device FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the data processing device 101 according to this embodiment. The data processing device 101 has a controller unit 201. The controller unit 201 controls various communication units, such as an NFC communication unit 210, a BLE communication unit 211, a wireless LAN communication unit 212, and a mobile phone data communication unit 218, as well as various UI units, such as a microphone / speaker 213, a display 214, and a touch panel 215. The controller unit 201 is composed of a CPU 202, a ROM 203, a RAM 204, a network I / F 205, a voice control unit 206, a display control unit 207, an input control unit 208, a storage device 209, and a telephone function control unit 217. In addition, each of these units is connected to each other via a system bus 216 so as to be able to communicate with each other. The CPU 202 controls the entire system of the data processing device 101 . The ROM 203 stores the operating system of the data processing device 101 and applications that control telephone calls and data communications, and the CPU 202 executes various programs.

[0012] The RAM 204 is a memory for the CPU 202 to execute various programs, and is a work memory area in which applications execute programs. The storage device 209 is a non-volatile storage device, and records various operation mode settings that need to be retained even after the data processing device 101 is restarted, operation logs, and the like. The network I / F 205 is connected to an NFC communication unit 210, a BLE communication unit 211, a wireless LAN communication unit 212, and a mobile phone data communication unit 218, and performs various wireless communication controls with the image forming apparatus 104 and various servers and base stations not shown.

The display control unit 207 controls the output of image data to be displayed on the display 214 . The input control unit 208 controls the input of information instructed by the user via a button or touch panel 215. Using the voice control unit 206, display control unit 207, and input control unit 208, various applications executed by the data processing device 101 are provided to the user. A telephone function control unit 217 performs control for making a call to a destination specified by a user, and communicates with a base station that handles telephone lines via a mobile phone data communication unit 218 .

[0013] Hardware configuration of image forming device FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the image forming apparatus 104 according to this embodiment. The image forming apparatus 104 has a controller unit 301, which controls various communication units, such as an NFC communication unit 310, a BLE communication unit 311, and a wireless LAN communication unit 312, as well as an operation unit 307, a scanner 313, and a printer 314. When a user uses the copy function, the controller unit 301 controls the scanner 313 to acquire image data of an original, and controls the printer 314 to print and output the image on paper. Furthermore, when a user uses the print function, the controller unit 301 receives image data (code data) via the data processing device 101 or the network 103. The controller unit 301 then converts the received print data into image data and transmits it to the printer 314. The printer 314 prints and outputs an image on paper based on the received image data. The controller unit 301 is composed of a CPU 302 , a RAM 303 , a ROM 304 , a HDD 305 , an operation unit I / F 306 , a network I / F 308 , and a device I / F 309 , which are connected by a system bus 312 .

[0014] The CPU 302 controls the entire system of the image forming apparatus 104 . The RAM 303 is a system work memory for the operation of the CPU 302, and is an image memory for temporarily storing image data. The RAM 303 also stores programs and data such as an operating system, system software, and application software. The RAM 303 also stores scan image data read by the scanner 312, and print image data received from the data processing device 101 via the network 103. A system boot program is stored in a ROM 304. A hard disk drive (HDD) 305 stores an operating system, system software, application software, image data, setting data, and the like. An operation unit I / F 306 is an interface with an operation unit 307, and outputs information to be displayed on the operation unit 307 to the operation unit 307. In addition, the operation unit I / F 306 accepts information input from the operation unit 307 by the user.

[0015] The network I / F 308 is connected to an NFC communication unit 310, a BLE communication unit 311, and a wireless LAN communication unit 312, and controls various wireless communications with the data processing device 101 and various servers. A wireless LAN communication unit 312 forms a wireless LAN with the data processing device 101 via the network 103. An NFC communication unit and a BLE communication unit 311 form short-range wireless communication with the data processing device 101 via wireless signals. The image forming device 104 transmits and receives job setting information and image data to and from the data processing device 101 via a network I / F 308, and executes jobs by receiving execution commands for various functions of the image forming device 104. A device I / F 309 connects the controller unit 301 to a scanner 313 and a printer 314 that read and print image data, and inputs and outputs image data.

[0016] - Software configuration of data processing device FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the software configuration of the data processing device 101 according to this embodiment. The application 401 is software executed by the CPU 202 of the data processing device 101 and is stored in the RAM 203 . A user interface (UI) control unit 402 accepts job setting information input by the user via the touch panel 215, and transmits it to a job setting management unit 406 via an input control unit 208. The UI control unit 402 also receives responses from the job setting management unit 406 and the job control unit 407, and outputs them to the display 214 via a display control unit 207. The UI control unit 402 also accepts authentication information input by the user via the touch panel 215, and transmits it to an authentication information management unit 403 via an input control unit 208. An authentication information management unit 403 transmits authentication information to a network control unit 405 based on the user information received from the UI control unit 402. The authentication information is used via the network 103 in authentication processing in the image processing apparatus 104, which will be described later.

[0017] The device connection unit 404 establishes short-distance wireless communication of NFC or BLE between the data processing device 101 and the image forming device 104, and wireless LAN communication via the network 103. For example, in the case of NFC, the user brings the NFC communication unit 210 of the data processing device 101 and the NFC communication unit 310 of the image forming device 104 close to each other and brings them into contact with each other to start short-distance wireless communication. In the case of BLE, the user brings the BLE communication unit 211 of the data processing device 101 close to the BLE communication unit 311 of the image forming device 104, and the device connection unit 404 determines that the BLE strength is within a distance of a certain strength or more, and starts short-distance wireless communication. In this way, the user brings the NFC or BLE communication units of the data processing device 101 and the image forming device 104 close to each other (called a touch operation), and the device connection unit 404 acquires device information of the image forming device 104. A wireless LAN connection with the image forming device 104 via the network 103 is started from the acquired device information. The network control unit 405 transmits job settings, job execution instruction commands, image data, user authentication information, and the like to the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103. Furthermore, the network control unit 405 receives job setting information stored in the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103.

[0018] The job setting management unit 406 stores job setting information input by the user via the UI control unit 402 and job setting information received from the image forming apparatus 104 or a cloud server (not shown) via the network control unit 405 in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209. At this time, the job setting management unit 406 manages this job setting information as "favorites" that are settings that the user frequently uses. In addition, the job setting management unit 406 manages custom job settings stored in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209 when the application 401 is installed as "presets." A job control unit 407 generates job execution instruction information from the job settings such as “favorites” and “presets” registered in a job setting management unit 406 , and transmits a job execution request to the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103 . A job history management unit 408 stores the job execution instruction information for which a job execution request has been sent in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209. The stored job execution instruction information is managed as a "history." The "history" is sent to the image forming apparatus 104 by the job control unit 407 in the same way as job execution instruction information generated from "favorite" or "preset" job settings. A job image management unit 409 manages images used in job execution stored in the RAM 204 or storage device 209, and printable image data.

[0019] Software configuration of image forming device FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the software configuration of the image forming apparatus 104 according to this embodiment. The application 501 is software executed by the CPU 302 of the image forming apparatus 104 and is stored in the RAM 303 . A user interface (UI) control unit 502 receives job setting information input by the user via the operation unit 307, and transmits it to a job execution management unit 506. The UI control unit 502 also receives responses from the job execution management unit 506 and the job control unit 507, and outputs them to the operation unit 307. The authentication unit 503 performs user authentication processing based on the authentication information received from the data processing device 101, and returns the result of the processing. The device connection unit 504 performs handover by short-distance wireless communication between the data processing device 101 and the image forming device 104 , and establishes wireless LAN communication via the network 103 . The network control unit 505 receives job settings, job execution instruction commands, image data, user authentication information, and the like from the data processing device 101 via the network 103. Furthermore, the network control unit 505 transmits job setting information stored in the image forming device 104 to the data processing device 101 via the network 104.

[0020] A job execution management unit 506 stores job setting information input by the user via the UI control unit 502 and job setting information received from the data processing device 101 via the network control unit 505 in the RAM 303 or the HDD 305. At this time, the job execution management unit 506 manages this job setting information as "favorites" that are settings that the user frequently uses. The job control unit 507 controls each processing unit, such as a scan processing unit 511, a copy processing unit 512, a print processing unit 513, and a fax processing unit 514, in accordance with the received job settings, and executes various jobs. At this time, the job control unit 507 executes various jobs based on the job settings set by the user via the operation unit 307, or the job settings of "favorites" or "presets" registered in the job execution management unit 506. Furthermore, the job control unit 507 receives a job execution request received from the data processing device 101 via the network 103, and executes various jobs in accordance with the received job settings and job execution instructions.

[0021] Copy instructions and image data storage sequence The copy job execution instruction and the storage of image data in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a sequence in the proposed system. First, in S601, the user operates the data processing device 101 to instruct execution of a copy job. The user instructs execution of a copy job by calling up a “favorite” or “preset” job setting registered in the job setting management unit 406, in addition to setting the job. When an execution instruction is given by the user in step S 602 , the job control unit 407 generates job execution instruction information and transmits a job execution request to the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103 . The transmitted job execution request is received by the network control unit 505. The job control unit 507 controls the copy processing unit 512 in accordance with the received job settings to execute the copy job. In S603, the copy processing unit 512 operates the scanner 313 in accordance with the job settings to read the original. The read original data is stored in the RAM 303 or HDD 305 by the copy processing unit 512. The copy processing unit 512 processes the stored original data in accordance with the job settings. For example, it performs processes such as sorting and rotation. In S604, the printer 314 is operated in accordance with the job settings to perform printing. If the job execution request includes an instruction to transmit the document data, in S605, the job control unit passes the document data stored in the RAM 303 or HDD 305 in S603 to the network control unit 505. The document data is transmitted by the network control unit 505 to the data processing device 101 via the network 103.

[0022] In S606, in the data processing device 101, the network control unit 405 receives the transmitted original data and stores it in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209. The stored original data is associated with the corresponding job execution instruction information in the job history management unit 408 by the job image management unit 409. If there is original data, the job history management unit copies only the information related to printing from the job execution instruction information of the copy job, and stores and manages it as print job execution instruction information for the original data. The user can print the copied original again by specifying this print job execution instruction information.

[0023] Processing in image forming equipment 7 is a diagram showing an example of a flow of the image forming apparatus 104 in the proposed system. Here, only a case where a copy job is executed upon receiving execution instruction information for the copy job will be described. This process is realized by the CPU 302 of the image forming apparatus 104 executing each module of the application 501. In step S701, the network control unit 505 waits to receive a job execution request. In S702, the network control unit 505 determines whether a job execution request has been received, and if it determines that a job execution request has not been received (No in S702), the process returns to step S701 and waits. If it determines that a job execution request has been received (Yes in S702), the network control unit 505 passes the job execution request to the job control unit 507. In step S703, the job control unit 507 controls the copy processing unit 512 in accordance with the job settings. The copy processing unit 512 operates the scanner 313 in accordance with the job settings, reads the original, and stores the read data in the RAM 303 or the HDD 305 . Next, in S704, the job control unit 507 determines whether a reprint setting is set in the job execution request. If it is determined that the reprint setting is not set (No in S704), the process proceeds to S706, and if it is determined that the reprint setting is set (Yes in S704), the process proceeds to S705. In S705, the job control unit 507 passes the document data stored in the RAM 303 or HDD 305 in step S703 to the network control unit 505. The document data is transmitted to the data processing device 101 via the network 103 by the network control unit 505. In S706, the copy processing unit 512 processes the stored document data in accordance with the job settings, and then operates the printer 314 to print, thereby terminating this process. Note that the printing execution in S706 may be performed prior to the transmission of the document data in S705.

[0024] Processing in data processing device 8 is a diagram showing a process flow in the data processing device 101 in the proposed system. Here, the description will be given assuming that only a copy execution request and a reprint execution request are made. This process is realized by the CPU 202 of the data processing device 101 executing each module of the application 401. In S801, the job control unit 407 determines whether the job setting of "favorites," "preset," or "history" selected by the user via the UI control unit 502 is a reprint instruction. If it is determined that it is not a reprint instruction (No in S801), the job control unit 407 advances the process to S802, and if it is determined that it is a reprint instruction (Yes in S801), the job control unit 407 advances the process to S808. In S802, the job control unit 407 reads out the copy settings from the selected job settings, and displays them to the user via the UI control unit 502. Since the description here is given assuming that only copy execution requests and reprint execution requests are made, it is determined that instructions other than reprint instructions are copy settings. In step S803 , the job control unit 407 generates job execution instruction information from the job settings, and transmits a job execution request to the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103 . In S804, the job control unit 407 determines whether a reprint setting is set in the job settings. If it is determined that a reprint setting is not set (No in S804), this processing flow ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that a reprint setting is set (Yes in S804), the process proceeds to S805. In S805, the network control unit 405 waits for receipt of the document data.

[0025] In S806, the network control unit 405 determines whether the manuscript data has been received, and if it is determined that the manuscript data has not been received (No in S806), the process returns to S805 and waits for the manuscript data to be received. If it is determined that the manuscript data has been received (Yes in S806), the process proceeds to S807. In S807, the network control unit 405 stores the received document data in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209. The stored document data is managed by the job image management unit 409. The job setting management unit 406 copies only the information related to printing out of the job execution instruction information of the copy job, and newly manages it as print job execution instruction information for the document data, and then ends this process. On the other hand, if it is determined in S801 that a reprint instruction has been issued, in S808 the job control unit 407 reads out print settings from the selected job settings. Next, in S809, the document data is read out and displayed on the display 214 by the UI control unit 502 for the user. In step S810, the job control unit 407 generates print job execution instruction information from the job settings, transmits a job execution request to the image forming apparatus 104 via the network 103, and ends this process.

[0026] (Display screen of data processing device) 9A to 9C are examples of screens displayed on display 214 of data processing device 101 of this embodiment, specifically screens relating to a copy job execution request and a reprint instruction. A job setting confirmation screen 910 in Fig. 9A is displayed when the user selects a job setting of "Favorites," "Preset," or "History." A setting button 911 is a button that indicates the currently configured settings, and tapping the setting button 911 displays a setting change screen. Tapping the [Start] button 912 sends a job execution request. The reprint instruction selection screen 920 in Fig. 9B is a screen for selecting job settings for performing a reprint instruction. The print job execution instruction information created in step S807 in Fig. 8 is listed as a reprint button 921. Tapping the reprint button 921 transitions to a reprint instruction execution screen 930.

[0027] The reprint instruction execution screen 930 in Fig. 9C is a screen that displays the contents of the print job execution instruction information created in step S807. A setting button 931 is a button that indicates the currently performed setting. In the reprint instruction, only the information related to printing at the time of the job execution request of the corresponding copy job is duplicated. Preview 932 is a preview of the original data received when a job execution request for a copy job is made (S805) and saved. The user can confirm that the contents of the copy have already been made by checking setting button 931 and preview 932. When [Start] button 933 is tapped, a request to execute a print job is sent. This makes it possible to obtain the same result as the result that was once output by copying (S706) without having to rescan the original. Also, when setting button 931 is tapped, a setting change screen is displayed and the settings can be changed. This makes it possible to obtain a result with the print settings changed without having to rescan the original. As described above, according to the present embodiment, reprinting can be performed from the data processing device to the image forming device without rescanning the document. Also, reprinting can be performed in an image forming device other than the image forming device that performed the copy. This eliminates the need to carry the document, improving usability.

[0028] [Embodiment 2] In the first embodiment, a method has been described in which document data scanned by the image forming apparatus 102 during copy execution is transmitted to the data processing apparatus 101 and stored for reprinting. In the second embodiment, a method will be described in which document data is not transmitted to the data processing apparatus 101 but the file storage destination of the document data is notified for reprinting. Copy instructions and image data storage sequence 10 is a diagram showing an example of a sequence in the system of embodiment 2. Here, the same steps as in embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals, and only the differences will be described. The operations of S601 to S604 in which execution of a copy job is instructed and the image forming apparatus 104 performs copying are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0029] In S1005, information indicating the storage location of the stored manuscript data is transmitted to the data processing device 101. The information indicating the storage location of the manuscript data can also be realized as a file path of the image forming device 104, or an IP address and file name of the image forming device 104. In S1006, the transmitted document data storage location information is received by the network control unit 405 and stored in the RAM 204 or the storage device 209. Of the job execution instruction information of the copy job, only the information related to printing is copied, and stored and managed as reprint job execution instruction information of the document data storage location information.

[0030] (Display screen of data processing device) FIG. 11 is an example of a screen displayed on the display 214 of the data processing device 101 in the second embodiment. A reprint instruction selection screen 1110 is a screen for selecting job settings for performing a reprint instruction. Execution instruction information is listed as reprint buttons 1111. Each reprint button 1111 displays information about where the original data is saved.

[0031] Processing in image forming equipment 12 shows an example of a reprint job execution flow in embodiment 2. This process is realized by the CPU 302 of the image forming apparatus 104 executing each module of the application 501. In step S1201, the network control unit 505 waits to receive a reprint job execution request. In S1202, the network control unit 505 determines whether a job execution request has been received, and if it determines that a reprint job execution request has not been received (No in S1202), the process returns to S1201 and waits. If it determines that a reprint job execution request has been received (Yes in S1202), the process proceeds to S1203. In S1203, the network control unit 505 passes the job execution request to the job control unit 507. The job control unit 507 controls the print processing unit 512 in accordance with the job settings. The job control unit 507 refers to the document data storage location information included in the reprint job execution request, and determines whether the document data exists in the image forming apparatus 104. If it is determined that the document data exists (Yes in S1203), the document data is acquired from the data storage location in this apparatus and the process proceeds to S1205, and if it is determined that the document data does not exist (No in S1203), the process proceeds to S1204. In step S1204, the job control unit 507 acquires the manuscript data from the data storage location (another device) included in the manuscript data storage location information. In S1205, the copy processing unit 512 processes the document data in accordance with the job settings, and then operates the printer 314 to perform printing. As described above, according to the second embodiment, reprinting is possible without the need to transmit manuscript data to the data processing device 101. This makes it possible to realize reprinting even when the data processing device 101 has a small storage capacity and cannot store manuscript data, or when the environment is such that manuscript data cannot be taken outside.
