[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the system configuration of an image forming apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure;
[0022] The image forming apparatus 10 is a printing apparatus for commercial use, known as a production printer, and is an example of an information processing system in the technology of the present disclosure.
[0023] 1, the image forming apparatus 10 includes a paper feed tray 11, a main body 12, an interface decurler 13, an interposer 14, a static eliminator 15, a monitoring gate 16, a stacker 17, a top and bottom trimmer creaser 18, a paper folding unit 19, a saddle stitching finisher 20, a trimmer folder 21, a print server 22, a main monitor 23, and a sub-monitor 24. The main monitor 23 is an example of a main display unit in the technology of the present disclosure. The sub-monitor 24 is an example of a sub-display unit in the technology of the present disclosure.
[0024] The main body 12 prints an image on a recording medium such as printing paper. The paper feed tray 11 is connected to the upstream side of the main body 12. The paper feed tray 11 supplies the main body 12 with a recording medium such as printing paper.
[0025] The interface decurler 13, interposer 14, static eliminator 15, monitoring gate 16, stacker 17, top and bottom trimmer creaser 18, paper folding unit 19, saddle stitching finisher 20, and trimmer folder 21 are connected to the downstream side of the main body 12. These devices perform post-processing on the printed matter output from the main body 12.
[0026] The print server 22 is disposed on the main body 12. The print server 22 is connected to the main body 12 and transmits print data.
[0027] The main monitor 23 is disposed at a specified position above the stacker 17. The main monitor 23 is connected to the main body 12, and displays various information for controlling the image forming apparatus 10, as well as information for resolving an abnormality when it occurs.
[0028] The sub-monitor 24 is disposed inside the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12. The sub-monitor 24 is normally in a non-display state, and displays information for resolving an abnormality when predetermined conditions are met in the event of an abnormality. The conditions for displaying information for resolving an abnormality on the sub-monitor 24 when an abnormality occurs will be described in detail later.
[0029] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the image forming apparatus 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the image forming apparatus 10 includes the above-mentioned paper feed tray 11, main body 12, interface decurler 13, interposer 14, static eliminator 15, monitoring gate 16, stacker 17, top and bottom trimmer creaser 18, paper folding unit 19, saddle stitch finisher 20, trimmer folder 21, print server 22, main monitor 23, and sub-monitor 24, as well as a control unit 30 that controls the entire image forming apparatus 10. These components are connected to each other via a control bus 31.
[0030] The control unit 30 includes a processor 30a, a memory 30b, and a storage unit 30c. The processor 30a executes predetermined processing based on a control program read from the storage unit 30c and loaded into the memory 30b. The storage unit 30c is configured with, for example, a read-only memory (ROM), a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD), and stores the control program, required software, data, etc.
[0031] In the present embodiment, the processor 30a is described as reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 30c, but this is not limited thereto. The program may be provided in a form recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. For example, the program may be provided in a form recorded on an optical disc such as a CD (Compact Disc)-ROM (Read Only Memory) or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, or in a form recorded on a semiconductor memory such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory or a memory card. The program may also be obtained from an external device via a communication line.
[0032] As described above, the image forming apparatus 10 of this embodiment is composed of multiple devices such as a paper feed tray 11, a main body 12, an interface decurler 13, an interposer 14, a static eliminator 15, a monitoring gate 16, a stacker 17, a top and bottom trimmer creaser 18, a paper folding unit 19, a saddle stitching finisher 20, and a trimmer folder 21.
[0033] When an abnormality such as a paper jam or a malfunction occurs in any of these devices, the control unit 30 displays information for resolving the abnormality on the main monitor 23. Here, "information for resolving the abnormality" includes information indicating the location of the abnormality and information indicating the procedure for resolving the abnormality.
[0034] 3, the control unit 30 first displays a guide screen showing, by illustration and text, the location of the abnormality in the image forming apparatus 10. If abnormalities occur simultaneously in multiple locations, the control unit 30 displays multiple abnormalities simultaneously on the guide screen.
[0035] When the user selects an abnormality to be resolved on the guidance screen, the control unit 30 displays a procedure screen showing the procedure for resolving the selected abnormality.
[0036] For example, if the user selects an abnormality in the paper feed tray 11 on the guidance screen, the control unit 30 displays information for resolving the abnormality in the paper feed tray 11 on the main monitor 23 located above the stacker 17, as shown in Figure 4.
[0037] The user works while checking the procedure screen displayed on the main monitor 23. However, as shown in Fig. 5, the main monitor 23 and the paper feed tray 11 are far apart, so the user has to work by going back and forth between the main monitor 23 and the paper feed tray 11, which is inconvenient.
[0038] To solve such problems, when an abnormality occurs in the image forming device 10, the control unit 30 displays information for resolving the abnormality on the main monitor 23, and when the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality has occurred is longer than the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality has occurred, the control unit 30 displays information for resolving the abnormality on the sub-monitor 24.
[0039] The control unit 30 may display information for resolving the abnormality using system information that records the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality occurred and the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality occurred for each location where the abnormality occurred.
[0040] In the image forming apparatus 10 of this embodiment, a management table as shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the storage unit 30c as system information.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 6, the management table records, for each abnormality ID, information on the location where the abnormality occurred, the location where the cover was opened or closed, the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality occurred, and the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality occurred.
[0042] The distance information may be recorded as an absolute distance or as a relative distance. Furthermore, the distance information may be recorded as a one-dimensional distance in the horizontal direction only, or as a two-dimensional distance in the horizontal and vertical directions. Furthermore, the distance information may be recorded for each device, or for each part within the device.
[0043] When an abnormality occurs in the image forming apparatus 10, the control unit 30 refers to the management table and determines whether or not to display information for resolving the abnormality on the sub-monitor 24 in addition to the main monitor 23. A specific example will be described below. In the image forming apparatus 10 of this embodiment, the sub-monitor 24 is disposed inside the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 30 displays a procedure screen on the sub-monitor 24 when the procedure for resolving the abnormality includes information indicating that the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12 (shown as the "right cover" in the figure) should be opened.
[0045] In addition, the control unit 30 displays a message on the procedure screen, for example, "*The procedure screen will also be displayed on the sub-monitor inside the cover," to notify the user that the procedure screen will also be displayed on the sub-monitor 24.
[0046] This allows the user to check the main monitor 23, move to the front of the main body 12, and then perform work to resolve the abnormality while checking the sub-monitor 24 without moving again, as shown in Figure 8.
[0047] Furthermore, when the procedure for resolving the abnormality does not include information indicating that the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12 should be opened, as in the case of an abnormality in the paper feed tray 11 shown in FIG. 9, and when the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality has occurred is longer than the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality has occurred, the control unit 30 displays information indicating that the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12 should be opened on the main monitor 23, and also displays a procedure screen on the sub-monitor 24.
[0048] The control unit 30 displays a message on the procedure screen indicating that the exterior cover 12a should be opened, such as "*If an operator unfamiliar with the work is performing the following work, please open the main body cover shown on the left and perform the work while referring to the internal sub-monitor.", and notifies the user that the procedure screen will also be displayed on the sub-monitor 24.
[0049] This allows the user to perform work while going back and forth between the paper feed tray 11 and the sub-monitor 24, as shown in FIG. 10, thereby shortening the distance the user has to travel compared to going back and forth between the paper feed tray 11 and the main monitor 23.
[0050] The control unit 30 displays the procedure screen only on the main monitor 23 when the procedure for resolving the abnormality does not include information indicating that the outer cover 12a of the main body 12 should be opened, as in the case of an abnormality in the paper folding unit 19 shown in Figure 11, and when the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality has occurred is shorter than the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality has occurred.
[0051] In this case, the distance the user moves is the same regardless of whether the sub-monitor 24 is present or not, as shown in FIG.
[0052] Next, the flow of processing when an abnormality occurs in the image forming apparatus 10 of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of Figures 13 and 14. Figures 13 and 14 show a series of flowcharts, with Figure 13 showing the first half and Figure 14 showing the second half.
[0053] First, in step S01, the user turns on the power of image forming apparatus 10. Next, in step S02, control unit 30 refers to the management table and acquires position information of main monitor 23 and sub-monitor 24. Next, in step S03, control unit 30 executes a print job in response to an instruction input by the user.
[0054] Next, in step S04, when an abnormality that hinders the print job occurs in the image forming apparatus 10, the control unit 30 determines in step S05 whether the abnormality resolution procedure includes opening the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12.
[0055] If it is determined in step S05 that the procedure for resolving the abnormality includes opening the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12, the control unit 30 displays a procedure screen for resolving the abnormality on the main monitor 23 in step S06.
[0056] Next, in step S07, the user opens the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12. Next, in step S08, the control unit 30 displays on the sub-monitor 24 a procedure screen for resolving the abnormality.
[0057] Finally, in step S09, the user follows the procedure screen to resolve the abnormality. When the abnormality is resolved in step S09, the control unit 30 ends the process.
[0058] Also, if it is determined in step S05 that the abnormality resolution procedure does not include opening the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12, the control unit 30 determines in step S10 whether the sub-monitor 24 is closer to the location where the abnormality occurred than the main monitor 23.
[0059] If it is determined in step S10 that the sub-monitor 24 is closer to the location where the abnormality has occurred than the main monitor 23, the control unit 30 displays a notification on the main monitor 23 in step S11 urging the user to open the exterior cover 12a.
[0060] Next, in step S12, the user opens the exterior cover 12a of the main body 12. Next, in step S13, the control unit 30 displays on the sub-monitor 24 a procedure screen for resolving the abnormality.
[0061] Finally, in step S09, the user follows the procedure screen to resolve the abnormality. When the abnormality is resolved in step S09, the control unit 30 ends the process.
[0062] Furthermore, if it is determined in step S10 that the sub-monitor 24 is not closer to the location of the abnormality than the main monitor 23, the control unit 30 displays a procedure screen for resolving the abnormality only on the main monitor 23 in step S14.
[0063] Finally, in step S09, the user follows the procedure screen to resolve the abnormality. When the abnormality is resolved in step S09, the control unit 30 ends the process.
[0064] [Variations] The image forming apparatus 10 has been described above as one embodiment of the information processing system of the present disclosure, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.
[0065] For example, as shown in Fig. 15, the management table may further record a priority for each abnormality location, and when abnormalities occur at multiple locations simultaneously, the control unit 30 may display information for resolving the abnormalities in descending order of priority, starting with the abnormality location with the highest priority. In this case, once one abnormality is resolved, information about the abnormality location with the next highest priority may be displayed.
[0066] Furthermore, the acquisition of information on the distance from the main monitor 23 to the location where the abnormality has occurred and the distance from the sub-monitor 24 to the location where the abnormality has occurred is not limited to the method of using a management table, and any method may be used, such as dynamically detecting by placing a position detection sensor for each device.
[0067] Furthermore, the number of sub-monitors 24 provided in the image forming apparatus 10 is not limited to one, and may be multiple.
[0068] In the above embodiment, the term "processor" refers to a processor in a broad sense, and includes general-purpose processors (e.g., CPU: Central Processing Unit, etc.) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic device, etc.).
[0069] Furthermore, the operations of the processors in the above embodiments may not only be performed by a single processor, but may also be performed by multiple processors located at physically separate locations working together. Furthermore, the order of the operations of the processors is not limited to the order described in the above embodiments, and may be changed as appropriate.
