Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus having a report printing function for printing setting information, history information, etc. of the image processing apparatus, a control method of the image processing apparatus, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] As an image processing apparatus, there is known one having a report printing function for printing setting information, history information, etc. of the image processing apparatus. This report printing function includes manual report printing for performing report printing according to a user's instruction, and automatic report printing for performing printing when conditions set in the image processing apparatus are met. The output (printed matter) of the manual report printing is mainly used by the user who gave the printing instruction. On the other hand, the output of the automatic report printing is mainly used by the administrator of the image processing apparatus for managing the apparatus state and checking the usage status, etc.

[0003] By the way, as an image processing apparatus, there is known one equipped with a personalization function for optimizing functions according to the user who uses it. In such an image processing apparatus, for example, the user who uses it can change the language displayed on the operation unit screen (see Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, usually, in the output by the report printing function, printing is performed in the language preset in the image processing apparatus. Therefore, when a user performs manual report printing, the language displayed on the operation unit screen by the personalization function of the image processing apparatus may be different from the language set for the report printing function. In this case, there is a risk that the output will be created in a language that the user who performed the manual report printing cannot understand or does not want.

[0006] As a countermeasure against this problem, for example, a method of setting the report printing language to match the language displayed on the operation unit screen can be considered. However, in this case, when automatic report printing is executed, if a language that the administrator cannot understand or does not want is set on the operation unit screen, the output will be created in a language that the administrator cannot understand or does not want, which is inconvenient.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism that can execute report printing in the display language associated with the logged-in user.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] The image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a printing unit, a storage unit that stores information about the image processing apparatus, a display unit that displays an operation screen in the display language associated with the logged-in user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus, and a printing control unit that controls the printing unit to execute report printing for printing the information as a report based on an instruction input using the operation screen displayed in the display language associated with the logged-in user. The printing control unit is characterized by controlling to execute the report printing in the display language associated with the logged-in user.

Effects of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, report printing can be executed in the display language associated with the logged-in user.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an image processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This image processing system includes a multi-functional peripheral (hereinafter referred to as "MFP") 101 and a file server 102 that are communicably connected by a LAN 100. The MFP 101 is connected to a public telephone network 110.

[0013] Note that the MFP 101 is an example of an image processing apparatus, and the file server 102 is an example of a file management apparatus. Also, regardless of whether the LAN 100 is a wired LAN or a wireless LAN, other devices, such as a client computer (hereinafter referred to as "client PC") (not shown) that instructs the MFP 101 to perform printing or the like, are also connected to the LAN 100.

[0014] The MFP 101 can transmit (file transmission) image data using SMB or FTP with a folder in the file server 102 as the destination. In addition to the file server 102, a folder in the above-described client PC (not shown) can also be used as the destination. Also, the MFP 101 can transmit (email transmission) image data by email via a mail server (not shown). Since the MFP 101 is connected to the public telephone network 110, it can communicate (transmit and receive image data) with a facsimile (not shown).

[0015] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the MFP 101. The MFP 101 includes a control unit 210, an operation unit 220, a printer unit 221, a scanner unit 222, and a modem unit 223. The control unit 210 includes a CPU 211, a ROM 212, a RAM 213, an HDD 214, an operation unit I / F 215, a printer I / F 216, a scanner I / F 217, a modem I / F 218, and a network I / F 219.

[0016] The control unit 210 controls the overall operation of the MFP 101. The CPU 211 reads out the control program stored in the ROM 212, expands it in the work area of the RAM 213, and executes it to perform various controls such as printing control, reading control, and transmission control. The RAM 213 is used as a temporary storage area such as the main memory and work area of the CPU 211. The HDD 214 stores image data, various programs, various setting information of the MFP 101, history information, and result information.

[0017] Specifically, the setting information of the MFP 101 includes setting information of the display language on a touch panel (described later) that can be set for each user, language information when performing automatic report printing, and the like. The history information of the MFP 101 includes history information of facsimile transmission and reception, result information when performing predetermined jobs such as transmission (file transmission and email transmission) and printing, and the like.

[0018] The operation unit I / F 215 connects the operation unit 220 and the CPU 211 (control unit 210). The operation unit 220 includes, for example, a touch panel which is a liquid crystal display device having a touch panel function, a keyboard (hard buttons), and the like. The printer I / F 216 connects the printer unit 221 and the CPU 211 (control unit 210). The image data to be printed by the printer unit 221 is transferred from the control unit 210 to the printer unit 221 through the printer I / F 216 and is printed on a recording medium such as paper (sheet) by the printer unit 221.

[0019] The scanner I / F 217 connects the scanner unit 222 and the control unit 210. The scanner unit 222 reads an image on a document to generate image data (image file) and inputs it to the control unit 210 through the scanner I / F 217. The MFP 101 can transmit the image data (image file) generated by the scanner unit 222.

[0020] The modem I / F 218 connects the modem unit 223 and the control unit 210. The modem unit 223 connects the MFP 101 (control unit 210) to the public switched telephone network 110. The modem unit 223 performs transmission and reception of image data with a facsimile (not shown) on the public switched telephone network 110. The network I / F 219 connects the MFP 101 (control unit 210) to the LAN 100. The network I / F 219 transmits image data and information to external devices (file server 102, client PC, etc.) on the LAN 100, and conversely, receives various information from external devices on the LAN 100.

[0021] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220. The operation screen 300 in FIG. 3 can be displayed on the touch panel by the system administrator logging in to the MFP 101 with that authority and operating the operation unit 220 when registering the display language (hereinafter referred to as the "display language for the administrator") used by the system administrator of the MFP 101.

[0022] Note that before the display language for the administrator is set, the operation screen in FIG. 3 is displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 in the default display language preset in the MFP 101 regardless of the user who logs in. Also, as will be described later, when the personalization function for changing the display language on the touch panel according to the user is set to off, when the user who logs in has not registered their own display language, when a guest user logs in to the device, etc., the default display language is used.

[0023] On the operation screen 300, a language information column 301 in which a plurality of languages are listed in a list format is displayed, and the languages displayed in the language information column 301 are display languages that can be set. The system administrator can select a desired language from the language list displayed in the language information column 301 as the display language (device language) for the administrator. Touch the desired language from the languages displayed in the language information column 301 to select it, and press the OK button to complete the setting of the display language for the administrator. The setting information of the display language for the administrator thus set is stored in the HDD 214. After the display language for the administrator is set, when the system administrator logs in to the MFP 101, various displays are made on the touch panel of the operation screen 300 in the set display language for the administrator.

[0024] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a display language management table of the MFP 101. The display language management table 400 shown in FIG. 4 is composed of a combination of a user name 401 and a display language 402, and is stored in the HDD 214. The user name 401 is user information managed by the display language management table 400, and is, for example, the user's surname, name, or nickname, ID number, etc. The display language 402 is display language information associated with each user with the user name 401.

[0025] For example, when user A uses the MFP 101, the touch panel is displayed in Japanese, and when user B uses the MFP 101, the touch panel is displayed in English. Details thereof will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9.

[0026]

[0027] ​On the touch panel, information 501 to be printed on the output report and a report print button 502 for instructing the execution of report printing are displayed. Here, the information 501 consists of processing details such as copy (black and white) and print (black and white), and the number of sheets processed for each processing detail, but is not limited to these and may include other information. The user checks the content of the information 501 and presses (touches) the report print button 502 to give an instruction for manual report printing. Fig. 5(b) shows an example of the output (count report) obtained when the user presses the report print button 502.

[0028] Fig. 6(a) is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 when setting the automatic printing of a communication management report, which is one type of automatic report printing. The MFP 101 manages the communication history with external devices (file server 102, client PC, facsimile, etc.), and the communication history is stored in the HDD 214. Each time the CPU 211 updates the communication history, it increments the total count of the communication history by 1, and when the total count reaches 100, it executes automatic report printing and resets the total count to 0 (zero).

[0029] "Automatic print at 100 communications" shown in Fig. 6(a) represents the condition of when to automatically output the communication management report that manages the communication history. When the total count of the communication history matches this condition (100 communications), automatic report printing is executed. On the touch panel, a switch 601 for switching the execution / non-execution (ON / OFF) of automatic report printing is displayed. When the switch 601 is set to ON, when the communication history reaches 100, a communication management report printing the communication history managed by the MFP 101 is automatically output. Fig. 6(b) shows an example of the output of the communication management report.

[0030] FIG. 7(a) is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 when performing print settings for a transmission result report, which is one type of automatic report printing. The "Only at error" button 701 shown on the operation screen of FIG. 7(a) is a switch for setting to perform automatic report printing when the transmission result is an error. Therefore, when the "Only at error" button 701 is selected, the transmission result report indicating the result is automatically printed only when the transmission of image data to an external device (file server 102, client PC, fax machine, etc.) fails. FIG. 7(b) shows an example of the output of the transmission result report when an error occurs.

[0031] The "ON" button 702 is a switch for setting to always perform automatic report printing regardless of the transmission result. When the "ON" button 702 is selected, the transmission result report indicating the result is always automatically printed regardless of whether the transmission of image data to the external device is successful or not. FIG. 7(c) shows an example of the output of the transmission result report when the transmission is completed normally. The "OFF" button 703 is a switch for setting not to perform automatic printing of the transmission result report.

[0032] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the report management table 800 of the MFP 101. The report management table 800 is composed of a report name column 801, an automatic report column 802, and a result report column 803, and is stored in the HDD 214.

[0033] In the report name column 801, names of various reports such as the count report, communication management report, transmission result report, etc., which were described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7, are stored. In the automatic report column 802, the ON / OFF setting of the automatic report printing function is stored. The result report column 803 stores the setting (ON / OFF) as to whether the report corresponding to the report name is a result report, that is, whether to print and output a report showing the result for each process when an image data transmission job or the like is performed. In the case of the transmission result report, further, the selection result of "only when error", "ON", or "OFF" shown in FIG. 7(a) is stored, and the "ON" on the right side of "ON-ON" in FIG. 8 indicates this setting.

[0034] When the CPU 211 of the MFP 101 receives a report printing instruction manually or automatically, it refers to the information in the report management table 800 and determines whether the received report printing instruction is for automatic report printing and whether it is a result report.

[0035] FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a process for determining the language to be displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 for each user. Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is realized by the CPU 211 expanding and executing the control program stored in the HDD 214 in the work area of the RAM 213.

[0036] In step S901, the CPU 211 receives the input of authentication information from the user. In the subsequent step S902, the CPU 211 authenticates and identifies the user who uses the MFP 101 based on the authentication information input in step S901. For example, each user causes their ID card to be read by an ID card reader (not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2) provided in the MFP 101 when using the MFP 101. The CPU 211 of the MFP 101 identifies the user by comparing the information of the ID card read by the ID card reader with the display language management table 400. However, the method of user authentication is not limited to this, and any method that can identify the user may be used.

[0037] Next, in step S903, the CPU 211 acquires, from the display language management table 400 (see FIG. 4), the language (display language) set for the user authenticated in step S902. For example, when the user is authenticated as User A, Japanese is acquired, and when the user is authenticated as User B, English is acquired. When the system administrator logs in, the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 described with reference to FIG. 3 is acquired.

[0038] Subsequently, in step S904, the CPU 211 sets the language acquired in step S903 as the display language of the information to be displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220. This setting is stored in the HDD 214. Thereafter, in step S905, the CPU 211 displays the main screen (main menu) on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 in the language set in step S904, and then this process ends.

[0039] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the report printing process according to the first embodiment in the MFP 101. Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10 is realized by the CPU 211 expanding and executing a control program stored in the HDD 214 in the work area of the RAM 213.

[0040] The process of FIG. 10 is started in response to the MFP 101 receiving an instruction to print a report. First, in step S1001, the CPU 211 determines, based on the report management table 800 (see FIG. 8), whether the report for which the print instruction was received is an automatic report. If it is an automatic report printing (YES in S1001), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1002. On the other hand, if it is not an automatic report printing (NO in S1001), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005.

[0041] In step S1002, the CPU 211 determines based on the report management table 800 whether the report that has received the print instruction is a result report. If it is a result report (YES in S1002), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name that has received the print instruction is ON, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1003. On the other hand, if it is not a result report (NO in S1002), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name that has received the print instruction is OFF, the CPU 211 advances the process to step 1006.

[0042] In step S1003, the CPU 211 refers to FIG. 8 and branches the process according to the print settings of the transmission result report in FIG. 7(a). If the transmission result report is set to "ON", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005. If the transmission result report is set to "only at error", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1004. If the transmission result report is set to "OFF", the CPU 211 ends the process without printing the transmission result report.

[0043] In step S1004, the CPU 211 determines whether a transmission error has occurred. If an actual transmission error has occurred (YES in S1004), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1005. If no transmission error has occurred (NO in S1004), the CPU 211 ends the process without printing the transmission result report.

[0044] In step S1005, the CPU 211 obtains the report printing language from the display language of the operation unit 220 stored in the HDD 214 in step S904 of FIG. 9. For example, Japanese is obtained as the report printing language for user A, and English is obtained as the report printing language for user B. In step S1006, the CPU 211 obtains from the HDD 214 the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 of FIG. 3 as the report printing language.

[0045] When steps S1005 and S1006 are completed, the process proceeds to step S1007. In step S1007, the CPU 211 creates the print content of the report that has received the print instruction in the language acquired in steps S1005 and S1006. In the subsequent step S1008, the CPU 211 prints and outputs the report created in step S1007 using the printer unit 221. Thereby, this process ends.

[0046] Note that in the transmission result report in the report management table 800 of FIG. 8, the automatic report column 802 is ON, the result report column 803 is ON, and the print setting of the transmission result report in FIG. 7(a) is ON. In this case, according to the flowchart of FIG. 10, the transmission result report will be printed in the display language of the operation unit 220. This is considered in view of the fact that the transmission result report is often used by the user who has performed the transmission job.

[0047] However, not limited to such a configuration, it is also possible to print and output the transmission result report in the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 of FIG. 3. In that case, in the determination of step S1003, when the print setting of the transmission result report in FIG. 7(a) is ON, the configuration may be such that the process proceeds to step S1006 instead of step S1003.

[0048] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user of the MFP 101 can perform the desired report printing in the language desired by the user and the system administrator in either the case of manual report printing or automatic report printing.

[0049] <Second Embodiment> In the following description of the second embodiment, detailed descriptions of the same configurations as those of the first embodiment such as the hardware configuration of the image processing system will be omitted.

[0050] In the second embodiment, even when OFF (OFF button 703) in FIG. 7(a) or only during an error (error-only button 701) is selected, if the user explicitly selects to print the transmission result report before the execution of the transmission job, the result report is printed and output in the display language of the operation unit 220. Also, when ON (ON button 702) is selected in FIG. 7(a) and the user explicitly selects to print the transmission result report before the execution of the transmission job, the transmission result report is printed in each of the display language of the operation unit 220 and the display language for the administrator.

[0051] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen displayed on the touch panel of the operation unit 220 when the user makes a setting to explicitly print the transmission result report. The operation screen shown in FIG. 11 can be displayed on the touch panel by pressing, for example, an option button (not shown) displayed on a menu screen (not shown) of the touch panel of the operation unit 220 when the user explicitly instructs the result report printing.

[0052] The transmission result report button 1101 is a button for the user to explicitly specify the printing of the transmission result report when a transmission job (file transmission or email transmission) is executed. When the transmission result report button 1101 is pressed (selected), even if OFF or only during an error is selected in the print setting of FIG. 7(a), the transmission result report is printed in the display language of the operation unit 220. Also, when ON is selected in FIG. 7(a), the transmission result report is printed in the display language of the operation unit 220 as usual (when ON in S1003 of FIG. 10), and the transmission result report is also printed in the display language for the administrator.

[0053] FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the report printing process according to the second embodiment in the MFP 101. Each process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12 is realized by the CPU 211 expanding and executing a control program stored in the HDD 214 in the work area of the RAM 213.

[0054] The process in FIG. 12 starts when MFP 101 receives an instruction to print a report. First, in step S1201, CPU 211 determines, based on the report management table 800 (see FIG. 8), whether the report for which the print instruction was received is an automatic report. If it is an automatic report printing (YES in S1201), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is ON, CPU 211 advances the process to step S1202. On the other hand, if it is not an automatic report printing (NO in S1201), that is, if the automatic report column 802 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is OFF, CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208.

[0055] In step S1202, CPU 211 determines, based on the report management table 800, whether the report for which the print instruction was received is a result report. If it is a result report (YES in S1202), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is ON, CPU 211 advances the process to step 1203. On the other hand, if it is not a result report (NO in S1202), that is, if the result report column 803 corresponding to the report name for which the print instruction was received is OFF, CPU 211 advances the process to step 1210.

[0056] In step S1203, CPU 211 determines whether the transmission result report button 1101 shown in FIG. 11 is selected (whether the optional transmission result report is valid). If the transmission result report button 1101 is selected (YES in S1203), CPU 211 advances the process to step 1204. If the transmission result report button 1101 is not selected (NO in S1203), CPU 211 advances the process to step 1205.

[0057] In step S1204, the CPU 211 obtains the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) from the report management table in Fig. 8, and branches the process according to the obtained information. When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is "only at error" or "OFF", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208. When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is "ON", the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1209.

[0058] In step S1205, the CPU 211 determines whether the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is set to "ON". When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is "ON" (YES in S1205), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208. When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is not "ON" (NO in S1205), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1206. In step S1206, the CPU 211 determines whether the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is set to "OFF". When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is "OFF" (YES in S1206), the CPU 211 ends the process. When the transmission setting in Fig. 7(a) is not "OFF", that is, when it is set to "only at error" (NO in S1206), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1207. In step S1207, the CPU 211 determines whether a transmission error has occurred. When an actual transmission error has occurred (YES in S1207), the CPU 211 advances the process to step S1208. When no transmission error has occurred (NO in S1207), the CPU 211 ends the process.

[0059] In step S1208, the CPU 211 obtains the report printing language from the display language of the operation unit 220 stored in the HDD 214 in step S904 of FIG. 9. For example, Japanese is obtained as the report printing language for user A, and English is obtained as the report printing language for user B. In step S1209, the CPU 211 obtains the display language of the operation unit 220 stored in the HDD 214 in step S904 of FIG. 9 as the report printing language, and also obtains the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 of FIG. 3 from the HDD 214. In step S1210, the CPU 211 obtains the display language for the administrator set on the operation screen 300 of FIG. 3 from the HDD 214 as the report printing language.

[0060] When steps S1208, S1209, and S1210 are completed, the process proceeds to step S1211. In step S1211, the CPU 211 creates the print content of the report that received the print instruction in the languages obtained in each of steps S1208, S1209, and S1210. In the subsequent step S1212, the CPU 211 prints and outputs the report created in step S1211 using the printer unit 221. Thereby, this process ends.

[0061] Note that when the display language of the operation unit 220 and the display language for the administrator are obtained in step S1209, the transmission result report written in the display language of the operation unit 220 and the transmission result report written in the display language for the administrator are printed and output. At this time, the transmission result reports in each language may be printed on separate sheets and two sheets may be output, or the transmission result reports in each language may be combined and printed on one sheet and one sheet may be output.

[0062] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user can select to explicitly print the transmission result report before executing the transmission job and print the transmission result report in the display language of the operation unit 220, thereby improving the convenience for the user performing the transmission job. Further, the transmission result report written in both the display language of the operation unit 220 and the display language for the administrator can be printed, thereby improving the convenience for the user performing the transmission job and the system administrator.
