A main tab that is turned into a selection state when being set in the general mode can be set in advance, and the main tab is turned into the selection state when being set in the general mode. When the attribute of the main tab is set to personal, the main tab is not included in the home screen 40 and the sharing attribute tab different from the main tab is turned into the selection state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for controlling the content of a screen displayed on a display unit. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a multifunction peripheral that displays a tabbed shortcut list screen. On the tabbed shortcut list screen, one of the displayed tabs is selected, and a screen containing options for shortcut functions associated with the selected tab is displayed.

[0003] In the multifunction peripheral described in Patent Document 1, when in general mode where no registered users are logged in, a shared tab that can be used by all users is displayed on the shortcut list screen. On the other hand, when in personal mode where any registered user is logged in, the shared tab is not displayed on the shortcut list screen, and only the personal tab registered to the logged-in registered user is displayed.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-71680 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the multifunction device described in Patent Document 1, for example, a possible usage scenario is that the main tab, which is the initial value of the tab that is first selected after starting operation in general mode, such as when starting up or switching to general mode, is predetermined to be one of the shared tabs.

[0006] However, in this type of usage, the following problem may occur. That is, if the attribute of each tab can be changed to either a shared tab or a personal tab, the attribute of the main tab may be changed from a shared tab to a personal tab. If the attribute of the main tab is changed to a personal tab, it becomes difficult for the multifunction device to identify the tab that should be selected after starting operation in the general mode.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a display control device that displays a tabbed screen, in which the initial value of the tab that is to be initially selected after operation in general mode can be determined, so that even if the attribute of the tab determined as the initial value is changed to the attribute displayed in personal mode, an appropriate screen display can be provided after operation in general mode is started. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A display control device according to the present invention includes a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The control unit executes a display process to display a standby screen including at least one tab to be displayed on the display unit. The at least one tab to be displayed is at least one of a plurality of tabs. One of the at least one tab to be displayed is set to a selected state on the standby screen. A functional object, which is an image associated with a function, can be registered to each of the plurality of tabs. An attribute of either shared or personal can be set to each of the plurality of tabs. A specific registered user can be registered to each of the plurality of tabs.

[0009] The control unit further executes a main tab setting process and a user mode setting process. The main tab setting process sets one of the plurality of tabs as the main tab. The user mode setting process The mode setting process sets the user mode of the display control device to one of a general mode and a personal mode. The user mode setting process sets the user mode to the personal mode in response to user authentication information corresponding to the personal mode being input via the input unit.

[0010] The display process includes a first display process and a second display process. The first display process displays a standby screen on the display unit when the user mode is set to the general mode. In this case, the at least one display target tab includes a shared attribute tab, which is a tab whose attribute is set to shared, but does not include a personal attribute tab, which is a tab whose attribute is set to personal. Furthermore, if the attribute of a main tab is set to shared, the main tab is selected, and if the attribute of a main tab is set to personal, the main tab is not included and a shared attribute tab different from the main tab is selected.

[0011] In the second display process, a standby screen is displayed on the display unit in response to the user mode being set to the personal mode. In this case, the at least one display target tab includes a shared attribute tab and a personal attribute tab in which a registered user corresponding to the set personal mode is registered, but does not include a personal attribute tab in which a registered user corresponding to the set personal mode is not registered.

[0012] In the display control device configured in this way, when the user mode is set to the general mode, the personal attribute tabs are not displayed, but the shared attribute tabs are displayed, and the tab set as the main tab is selected. However, when the attribute of the main tab is set to personal, the main tab is not displayed, and one of the other shared attribute tabs is selected.

[0013] Therefore, even if the attributes of the main tab are changed to personal settings, after operation in the general mode is started, the selected tab can be appropriately determined and the standby screen can be appropriately displayed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

In this embodiment, the communication line 150 connected to the second communication unit 19 is, for example, a public telephone network. In the fax function, transmission and reception of facsimile data is basically performed via the second communication unit 19.

[0030] (3) Configuration of information processing device The information processing device 20 is any of various information processing terminals, such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. As shown in FIG.

[0031] The control unit 21 includes, for example, a CPU. The storage unit 22 includes, for example, a semiconductor memory such as a ROM, a RAM, an NVRAM, or a flash memory. That is, the information processing device 20 of this embodiment includes a microcomputer including a CPU and a semiconductor memory. Various software and data are stored in the storage unit 22.

[0032] The display unit 24 has a display device capable of displaying images, such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The input unit 23 has input devices for receiving various input operations. The input devices included in the input unit 23 include, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc. The touch panel is superimposed on the image display area of ​​the display device included in the display unit 24.

[0033] The communication unit 25 is a communication interface for communicating with external devices via the network 3. The information processing device 20 can perform data communication with the image processing device 10 via the communication unit 25.

[0034] (4) Home screen description When the control unit 11 of the image processing device 10 is started, a home screen 40 such as that shown in Fig. 2(a) or 2(b) is displayed on the display 13a. The home screen 40 is a tab-format screen having a plurality of tabs 31, 32, etc.

[0035] The tabs displayed on the home screen 40 may differ depending on whether a user authentication function (described later) is set to on or off. Even when the user authentication function is set to on, the tabs may differ depending on the user mode (described later) or the logged-in user. Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show examples of the home screen 40 when the user authentication function is set to on and the user mode is set to the general mode.

[0036] A tab screen 50 is individually associated with each of the multiple tabs 31, 32, .... A tab screen 50 corresponding to one of the multiple tabs 31, 32, ... that is selected is displayed on the home screen 40. The selected tab is displayed in a different manner from the other tabs. FIG. 2(a) shows an example in which a first tab 31 with the tab name "Basic 1" is selected and is displayed in a different manner from the other tabs (for example, a different color, a different size, etc.). FIG. 2(b) shows an example in which a third tab 33 with the tab name "Basic 3" is selected and is displayed in a different manner from the other tabs.

[0037] Various information required to display the home screen 40, information regarding the content of the processing to be executed when various input operations are performed on the home screen 40 via the input unit 14, and the like are stored in the memory unit 12.

[0038] Each tab screen 50 associated with each tab is a screen on which a plurality of icons are arranged. In this embodiment, for example, eight icons are arranged on one tab screen 50. That is, as shown in FIG. 2(a), a first icon 51 to an eighth icon 58 are arranged on the tab screen 50. The specific type of each icon can be changed.

[0039] A specific process for a specific function is associated with each icon arranged on each tab screen 50. When the user taps any of the icons, the specific process associated with that icon is executed.

[0040] In the tab screen 50 shown in FIG. 2(a), for example, the first icon 51 is an icon associated with a specific process in the fax function, the second icon 52 is an icon associated with a specific process in the copy function, and the third icon 53 is an icon associated with a specific process in the scan function. The fourth icon 54 and the eighth icon 58 are unregistered icons that are not associated with a specific process. The user can select these icons. A specific process can be registered to these unregistered icons. Explanation of the fifth icon 55 to the seventh icon 57 will be omitted.

[0041] The tabs displayed on the home screen 40 are managed in a tab setting table shown in Fig. 3(b). In the tab setting table, Nt tabs (Nt is arbitrary) are listed in a predetermined order. In this embodiment, the predetermined order is, for example, the first tab, the second tab, the third tab, ..., the Ntth tab, as shown in Fig. 3(b).

[0042] An attribute is set for each tab. In this embodiment, the attribute is set to shared or personal. The attribute of a tab can be changed arbitrarily for each tab. FIG. 3(b) shows an example in which the attribute of the first to third tabs is set to shared, and the attribute of the other tabs is set to personal.

[0043] A tab name is set for each tab. The tab name is displayed on each tab when the tab is displayed on the home screen 40. The tab name can be changed arbitrarily for each tab. Each tab is also assigned the number of icons associated with it, more specifically, the number of icons other than unregistered icons.

[0044] The tab setting table may be stored in advance in, for example, the storage unit 12 of the image processing device 10. In this case, the tab setting table stored in the storage unit 12 of the image processing device 10 may be customizable by the user as desired.

[0045] Furthermore, the tab setting table may be obtained from another device such as the information processing device 20 at a specific timing and stored in the storage unit 12. In this embodiment, for example, the information processing device 20 is configured so that the tab setting table can be customized as desired. When the control unit 11 of the image processing device 10 is started up, it acquires the tab setting table from the information processing device 20 via the network 3 and stores it in the storage unit 12. After storing the tab setting table in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 thereafter displays the home screen 40 by referring to the stored tab setting table.

[0046] Furthermore, even after storing the tab setting table in the memory unit 12, the tab setting table may be acquired from the information processing device 20 at a specific timing, and the tab setting table stored in the memory unit 12 may be updated to the acquired new tab setting table.

[0047] In this embodiment, the arrangement direction of the tabs on the home screen 40 is rightward. That is, the tabs are arranged sequentially in the rightward direction. The arrangement order of the tabs in the arrangement direction is, for example, an order according to the above-mentioned specified order, that is, ascending order in the specified order.

[0048] In this embodiment, a maximum of, for example, four tabs can be displayed simultaneously on the home screen 40. In this embodiment, the total number of tabs Nt is greater than four, which is the maximum number of tabs that can be displayed simultaneously on the home screen 40 (hereinafter referred to as the "maximum number of simultaneously displayed tabs"). Fig. 2(a) shows an example in which the first tab 31 to the third tab 33 are displayed on the home screen 40 out of the Nt tabs, i.e., the first tab to the Nt-th tab.

[0049] A left button 38 and a right button 39 are displayed near both ends of the area where the tabs are displayed on the home screen 40. If there are five or more tabs to be displayed and four of them are displayed, tapping the left button 38 or the right button 39 scrolls the tabs to be displayed left or right, thereby displaying tabs that are not displayed.

[0050] If you want to switch from the currently selected tab screen to another tab screen, In this case, for example, the user may tap the tab to which the user wishes to switch. When a tab other than the currently selected tab is tapped, the tapped tab is selected, and the home screen 40 displays a tab screen corresponding to the newly selected tab.

[0051] The image processing device 10 has a user authentication function, which is set to on or off. The user authentication function may be turned on or off within the image processing device 10, or may be turned on or off from an external device, such as the information processing device 20, via the network 3.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), when the user authentication function is set to on, the user authentication function is enabled, and the user mode of the image processing device 10 is set to the general mode or the personal mode. The general mode is a user mode in which no registered users are logged in. In other words, the general mode is a user mode that can be set by any user without requiring authentication processing such as password entry. The personal mode is set when any of the pre-registered users (hereinafter referred to as "registered users") logs in by performing a predetermined user authentication operation. In other words, when any registered user logs in, the personal mode corresponding to that registered user is set.

[0053] Registered users can be registered directly in the image processing device 10 or indirectly via an external device such as the information processing device 20. For example, the information processing device 20 manages a user list shown in FIG. 3(c). Registered users are registered in the user list. Furthermore, a personal registration tab can be registered in the user list for each registered user. When a registration process for a registered user is performed in the information processing device 20, the registered user is added to the user list. Furthermore, a personal registration tab can be registered for the registered user at will.

[0054] The user list shown in FIG. 3(c) illustrates an example in which at least users A, B, C, and D are registered as registered users. Also shown is an example in which the fourth tab is registered as a personal registration tab for user A, the fifth tab is registered as a personal registration tab for user B, the second tab is registered as a personal registration tab for user C, and no personal registration tab is registered for user D. Personal registration tabs can be registered as tabs with either shared or personal attributes. However, in this embodiment, as an example, one tab can only be registered by one registered user, and multiple registered users cannot set the same tab as a personal registration tab.

[0055] The user list may be managed by the image processing device 10 itself, or may basically be managed on the information processing device 20 side and acquired by the image processing device 10 from the information processing device 20 as needed. In this embodiment, every time any registered user logs in, the image processing device 10 performs data communication with the information processing device 20 to refer to the user list managed by the information processing device 20 and acquire information indicating the personal registration tab corresponding to the logged-in registered user.

[0056] A registered user logs in by executing a predetermined authentication process, which includes inputting user authentication information (for example, a password) specific to the registered user via the input unit 14, for example.

[0057] The tabs displayed on the home screen 40 differ depending on whether the user mode is the general mode or the personal mode. Furthermore, even in the personal mode, the tabs displayed on the home screen 40 differ depending on which registered user is logged in.

[0058] When the user authentication function is set to ON, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), a user switching interface 36 is displayed on the home screen 40. The user switching interface 36 is an image that is operated (for example, tapped) by the user to switch the user mode.

[0059] Information indicating the current user mode is displayed on the user switching interface 36. In this embodiment, when the user mode is set to the general mode, the text "Public" indicating that the mode is the general mode is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b). When the user mode is set to the personal mode, information indicating the logged-in user is displayed on the user switching interface 36, as shown in FIGS. 6(a) to 6(c).

[0060] When the user switching interface 36 is tapped, a user mode selection screen (not shown) for selecting a user mode is displayed on the display unit 13. The user mode selection screen displays the general mode and each registered user as options. When the general mode is selected, the user mode is set to the general mode.

[0061] In the general mode, tabs with the attribute "shared" are displayed on the home screen 40, and one of the tabs is selected. In the general mode, tabs with the attribute "personal" are not generally displayed.

[0062] When the user authentication function is set to on, and the control unit 11 is powered on and activated (hereinafter referred to as "first timing"), the control unit 11 sets the user mode to, for example, the general mode and displays the home screen 40 corresponding to the general mode. Also, when a screen different from the home screen 40 is displayed in the general mode and a home key (not shown) provided on the input unit 14 is pressed (hereinafter referred to as "second timing"), the control unit 11 displays the home screen 40 corresponding to the general mode. Also, when the user mode is changed from the personal mode to the general mode (hereinafter referred to as "third timing"), the control unit 11 displays the home screen 40 corresponding to the general mode.

[0063] The main home screen tab, which is the tab that is initially selected on the home screen 40 displayed at the first to third timings, is set in the main home screen tab setting table shown in FIG. 3(a). The user can change the main home screen tab by performing a specific setting operation. FIG. 3(a) shows an example in which the main home screen tab is set to the first tab. The control unit 11 refers to the main home screen tab setting table at the first to third timings to acquire a setting value for the main home screen tab. Then, the home screen 40 is displayed with the tab indicated by the acquired setting value in the selected state.

[0064] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3(b), the attributes of the first to third tabs are shared. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2(a), the home screen 40 in the general mode displays a first tab 31, a second tab 32, and a third tab 33. Furthermore, based on the setting values ​​of the main home screen tab setting table shown in Fig. 3(a), the first tab 31 is selected, and a tab screen 50 of the first tab 31 is displayed.

[0065] The user can arbitrarily change the attributes and names of each tab in the tab setting table. Therefore, for example, the following cases may occur. That is, suppose that a user sets the first tab with the attribute shared as the main home screen tab based on the setting values ​​in the tab setting table shown in FIG. 3(b) (corresponding to the state in FIG. 3(a)). At this point, on the home screen 40 displayed at the first to third times, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the first to third tabs 31 to 33 with shared attributes are displayed, and the first tab 31, which is set as the main home screen tab, is in a selected state.

[0066] Suppose that the attribute of the first tab 31 is then changed to personal. In this case, the first tab 31 is no longer displayed on the home screen 40 in the general mode. Meanwhile, the setting value of the main home screen tab is set to the first tab. Therefore, there is no tab to be selected on the home screen 40.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to appropriately respond to the above-mentioned case, when the attribute of a tab set in the main home screen tab is changed to personal, one of the other shared attributes other than the tab is selected.

[0068] In the example of FIG. 3(b), if the attribute of the first tab is changed to personal, the two tabs with the shared attribute will be the second and third tabs. Either of these two tabs may be selected, but in this embodiment, the topmost tab in the aforementioned defined order is selected. Therefore, the second tab is generally selected.

[0069] However, in this embodiment, tabs with no icons registered have a lower priority for being selected than tabs with icons registered. Comparing the number of icons on the second and third tabs, as shown in Figure 3(b), the second tab has no icons registered, while the third tab has three icons registered.

[0070] Therefore, in this embodiment, although the second tab is placed higher than the third tab in the prescribed order, the criterion of whether an icon is registered takes priority. As a result, the home screen 40 shown in Fig. 2(b) is displayed, i.e., the second tab 32, which has no icon registered, is not selected, and the third tab 33, which has an icon registered, is selected.

[0071] Next, a method for changing tab attributes and a method for changing the settings of the main home screen tab will be described with reference to FIGS. The attributes of the tabs can be changed in the image processing device 10 or remotely from the information processing device 20 via the tab attribute setting screen 30 shown in Fig. 4. The tab attribute setting screen 30 includes attribute setting images 71 to 78 for each tab. The user can change the attributes of the tab via the attribute setting image 71 to 78 that corresponds to the tab whose attributes the user wishes to change.

[0072] 4, on the tab attribute setting screen 30, a main home setting mark 7 is added near (for example, at the right end) the attribute setting image of the tab set as the main home screen tab. The user can know which tab is set as the main home screen tab based on the main home setting mark 7. This makes it possible to prevent the tab set as the main home screen tab from being changed to a personal attribute.

[0073] The setting values ​​of the main home screen tabs shown in Fig. 3(a) can be set via the main home screen setting screen 35 of Fig. 5, which is displayed on the image processing device 10. The main home screen setting screen 35 displays options for each tab set in the tab setting table, i.e., tab selection buttons 35a, 35b, .... By selecting one of the tab selection buttons, the user can set the tab corresponding to that tab selection button as the main home screen tab.

[0074] However, on the main home screen setting screen 35, the tab attribute corresponds to the shared tab. Tab selection buttons 35a, 35b, and 35c are enabled as options, and other tab selection buttons 35d, 35e, ... that correspond to the personal tab attribute are disabled as options. Tab selection buttons that are disabled as options are displayed in a different manner (for example, in a different color) from tab selection buttons that are enabled as options, and even if the user performs a tap operation, the operation is disabled.

[0075] On the other hand, when any of the tab selection buttons 35a, 35b, and 35c that are enabled as options is tapped, the tab corresponding to the tapped tab selection button is set as the main home screen tab. Then, the setting values ​​in the main home screen tab setting table in FIG. 3(a) are updated according to the setting content.

[0076] When any registered user is selected on the above-mentioned user mode selection screen (not shown) that is displayed by tapping the user switching interface 36, an authentication screen (not shown) for performing authentication processing is displayed. When regular user authentication information corresponding to the selected registered user is entered via this authentication screen, authentication is successful, i.e., login is performed, and the user mode is set to the personal mode of the selected registered user.

[0077] In the personal mode, the personal registration tab registered for the corresponding registered user is obtained from the user list (see FIG. 3(c)), and the personal registration tab is displayed on the home screen 40. Furthermore, in the personal mode, tabs with the attribute shared are also displayed on the home screen 40. In the personal mode, tabs with the attribute personal are not displayed on the home screen 40, except for the personal registration tab of the corresponding registered user.

[0078] In this embodiment, which tab is selected in personal mode depends on the setting value of the personal main home screen tab setting table (hereinafter referred to as the "personal tab home setting table") of the personal registration tab shown in Figure 3(d).

[0079] If the setting value of the personal tab home setting table is OFF, one of the shared attribute tabs to be displayed (for example, the topmost tab in the default order) will be selected. On the other hand, if the setting value of the personal tab home setting table is ON, the personal registration tab corresponding to the logged-in user will be selected.

[0080] For example, the fourth tab is registered as a personal registration tab in the user list for user A. Therefore, when user A is logged in and the setting value of the personal tab home setting table is set to, for example, on, the fourth tab 34, which is the personal registration tab for user A, and the first tab 31 to the third tab 33, which have shared attributes, are displayed on the home screen 40, as shown in Fig. 6(a), and among them, the fourth tab 34 is in a selected state.

[0081] Furthermore, when the setting value of the personal tab home setting table is changed from the state shown in FIG. 6(a) to, for example, OFF, the first tab 31 is put into a selected state as shown in FIG. 6(b) as an example. Furthermore, when the attribute of the first tab 31 is changed from the state shown in Fig. 6(b) to, for example, personal, the first tab 31 is deleted as shown in Fig. 6(c) as an example. Then, the third tab 33, which is the highest of the other shared attribute tabs in the specified order and has an icon registered therein, is selected.

[0082] (5) General mode home screen display processing Next, a general mode home screen display process for displaying the home screen 40, which is executed in the general mode, will be described with reference to Fig. 7. When any of the first to third timings described above occurs, the control unit 11 reads the program for the general mode home screen display process of Fig. 7 from the storage unit 12 and executes it.

[0083] This will be described with reference to Fig. 7. When the general mode home screen display process starts, the control unit 11 acquires setting values ​​for the main home screen tab from the main home screen tab setting table (see Fig. 3(a)) in S110. The control unit 11 also references the tab setting table (see Fig. 3(b)) and acquires the tab attributes, tab names, and number of icons for each tab registered in the tab setting table. Information on the tab setting table may be acquired from another device such as the information processing device 20, and the tab attributes may be acquired from the tab setting table and stored in the storage unit 12. Alternatively, the tab setting table acquired in the previous process of S110 and stored in the storage unit 12 may be read out, and the tab attributes, tab names, and number of icons may be acquired from the tab setting table.

[0084] In S120, it is determined whether the attribute of the main home screen tab obtained in S110 is shared. That is, from the setting value of the obtained main home screen tab, the tab attribute of the tab that matches the index in the obtained tab setting table is obtained, and it is determined whether it is shared. If the attribute of the main home screen tab is shared, the process proceeds to S130. In S130, the tab screen of the main home screen tab is set as the home screen, that is, set as the screen to be displayed in a selected state on the home screen. In S140, the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S130. That is, the tab setting table is referenced, and the home screen 40 including the shared attribute tab that was set on the home screen in S130 is set in a selected state.

[0085] If the attribute of the main home screen tab is not shared at S120, the process proceeds to S150. At S150, a variable n is set to 1. At S160, it is determined whether the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S170. At S170, information on the nth tab is obtained from the tab setting table.

[0086] In S180, it is determined whether the attribute of the nth tab is shared based on the information acquired in S170. If the attribute of the nth tab is not shared, in S200, the variable n is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to S160. If the attribute of the nth tab is shared, the process proceeds to S190.

[0087] In S190, it is determined whether or not the nth tab includes an icon based on the information acquired in S170. If the nth tab does not include an icon, the process proceeds to S200. If the nth tab includes an icon, the process proceeds to S210. In S210, the tab screen of the nth tab is set as the home screen. After processing in S210, the process proceeds to S140, and the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S210.

[0088] If the variable n exceeds the total number of tabs in S160, the process proceeds to S220. In S220, the tab screen of the main home screen tab is set as the home screen, as in S130. After the process of S220, the process proceeds to S140, and the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S220.

[0089] (6) Tab attribute setting process Next, a tab attribute setting process for setting tab attributes via the tab attribute setting screen 30 shown in Fig. 4 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. When a specific tab attribute setting request is input, the control unit 11 of the image processing device 10 reads and executes a program for the tab attribute setting process of Fig. 8 from the storage unit 12. Note that the tab attribute setting process may be executed by the control unit 21 of the information processing device 20, and the execution result may be transmitted to the image processing device 10 at a predetermined timing.

[0090] The description will be made with reference to FIG. 8. When the control unit 11 or 21 starts the tab attribute setting process, in S310, the control unit 11 or 21 selects the main home screen tab from the main home screen tab setting table (see FIG. 3(a)). Gets the setting value of the Home Screen tab.

[0091] In S320, variable n is set to 1. In S330, it is determined whether variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If variable n exceeds the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S370. If variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S340.

[0092] In S340, the main home screen tab setting table (see FIG. 3(a)) is referenced to determine whether the nth tab is set as a main home screen tab. If the nth tab is not set as a main home screen tab, in S350, the variable n is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to S330.

[0093] If the nth tab is set as the main home screen tab, the process proceeds to S360, where a setting is made to add the main home setting mark 7 (see FIG. 4) to the nth tab. In S370, the tab attribute setting screen 30 (see FIG. 4) is displayed. At this time, the main home setting mark 7 is displayed near the attribute setting image of the tab that was set in S360 to have the main home setting mark 7 added. In S380, user input to the tab attribute setting screen 30 displayed in S370 is accepted, and the attributes of each tab are set in accordance with the input.

[0094] (7) Main home screen setting process Next, a main home screen setting process for setting a main home screen tab (see FIG. 3(a)) via the main home screen setting screen 35 shown in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 9. When a specific main home screen setting request is input, the control unit 11 of the image processing device 10 reads the program for the main home screen setting process of FIG. 9 from the storage unit 12 and executes it.

[0095] This will be described with reference to Figure 9. When the main home screen setting process starts, the control unit 11 sets a variable n to 1 in S410. In S420, it is determined whether the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S430. In S430, information on the nth tab is obtained from the tab setting table.

[0096] In S440, it is determined whether the attribute of the nth tab is shared based on the information acquired in S430. If the attribute of the nth tab is not shared, in S460, the variable n is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to S420. If the attribute of the nth tab is shared, the process proceeds to S450, where the nth tab is added to the selection targets and the process proceeds to S460.

[0097] If the variable n exceeds the total number of tabs in S420, the process proceeds to S470. In S470, the main home screen setting screen 35 (see FIG. 5) is displayed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, only options corresponding to tabs added to the selection targets in the processing of S450 (i.e., shared attribute tabs) are made selectable, and options corresponding to tabs not added to the selection targets in S450 (i.e., personal attribute tabs) are invalid and cannot be selected.

[0098] In S480, a user input to the main home screen setting screen 35 displayed in S470 is accepted, and a main home screen tab is set in accordance with the input. (8) Main home screen initialization process Next, a main home screen initialization process for initializing the setting values ​​of the main home screen tab (see FIG. 3(a)) will be described with reference to FIG. 10. When a specific initialization instruction operation is input, the control unit 11 reads the program for the main home screen initialization process of FIG. 10 from the storage unit 12 and executes it.

[0099] The following description will be given with reference to FIG. 10. When the main home screen initialization process is started, the control unit 11 receives an initialization instruction operation in S510. In S520, an initial setting value for the main home screen tab is acquired. The initial setting value for the main home screen tab may be acquired from anywhere. For example, the initial setting value may be stored in the storage unit 12 in advance and acquired from the storage unit 12. Alternatively, the initial setting value may be acquired from an external device such as the information processing device 20.

[0100] In S530, it is determined whether the attribute of the tab of the initial setting value acquired in S520 is shared. Specifically, the tab attribute of the tab corresponding to the tab of the initial setting value is acquired from the tab setting table stored in the storage unit 12, and it is determined whether it is shared. If the attribute of the tab of the initial setting value is shared, the process proceeds to S540. In S540, the tab screen of the tab of the initial setting value is set as the home screen, that is, set as the screen to be displayed in a selected state on the home screen.

[0101] If the default tab attribute is not "shared" at S530, the process proceeds to S560. At S560, variable n is set to 1. At S570, it is determined whether variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S580. At S580, information on the nth tab is obtained from the tab setting table.

[0102] In S590, it is determined whether the attribute of the nth tab is shared based on the information obtained in S580. If the attribute of the nth tab is not shared, in S600, the variable n is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to S570. If the attribute of the nth tab is shared, the process proceeds to S610. In S610, the nth tab is set as a main home screen tab, and the main home screen tab setting table is updated with that setting value.

[0103] If the variable n exceeds the total number of tabs in S570, the process proceeds to S620. In S620, the initial setting value tab is set as the main home screen tab, and the main home screen tab setting table is updated to that setting value.

[0104] (9) Personal mode home screen display processing Next, the personal mode home screen display process for displaying the home screen 40, which is executed in the personal mode, will be described with reference to Fig. 11. When the user mode is changed from the general mode to the personal mode, and when the logged-in user is changed in the personal mode, the control unit 11 reads the program for the personal mode home screen display process in Fig. 11 from the storage unit 12 and executes it.

[0105] This will be described with reference to Fig. 11. When the personal mode home screen display process starts, the control unit 11 acquires logged-in user information in S710. Specifically, information corresponding to the newly logged-in registered user is acquired from the user list (see Fig. 3(c)).

[0106] In S720, it is determined whether a personal registration tab is set for the registered user who has logged in. If a personal registration tab is set for the registered user who has logged in, the process proceeds to S730. In S730, it is determined whether the personal registration tab set for the registered user who has logged in is set to be used as a personal main home screen tab. Specifically, it is determined whether the setting value in the personal tab home setting table (see FIG. 3(d)) is on or off. If the setting value in the personal tab home setting table is off, the process proceeds to S760. If the setting value in the personal tab home setting table is on, the process proceeds to S740.

[0107] In S740, the tab screen of the personal registration tab is set as the home screen, that is, set as the screen to be displayed in the selected state on the home screen. In accordance with the contents, the home screen 40 is displayed. That is, the tab setting table is referenced, and the home screen 40 including the shared attribute tab and the personal registration tab of the logged-in user, which is set on the home screen in S740, is set to a selected state.

[0108] If a personal registration tab is not set for the logged-in registered user in S720, the process proceeds to S760. In S760, the setting value for the main home screen tab is obtained from the main home screen tab setting table (see FIG. 3(a)).

[0109] In S770, it is determined whether the attribute of the main home screen tab acquired in S760 is shared. Specifically, the tab attribute of the tab corresponding to the setting value of the acquired main home screen tab is acquired from the tab setting table stored in the storage unit 12, and it is determined whether it is shared. If the attribute of the main home screen tab is shared, the process proceeds to S840. In S840, the tab screen of the main home screen tab is set as the home screen. In this case, in S750, the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S840. That is, the tab setting table is referenced, and the home screen 40 including the shared attribute tab and the personal registration tab of the logged-in user, which is set as the home screen in S840, is set to a selected state.

[0110] If the attribute of the main home screen tab is not shared at S770, the process proceeds to S780. At S780, a variable n is set to 1. At S790, it is determined whether the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S800. At S800, information on the nth tab is obtained from the tab setting table.

[0111] In S810, it is determined whether the attribute of the nth tab is shared based on the information acquired in S800. If the attribute of the nth tab is not shared, in S820, the variable n is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to S790. If the attribute of the nth tab is shared, the process proceeds to S830.

[0112] In S830, the tab screen of the nth tab is set as the home screen. After the processing of S830, the process proceeds to S750, where the home screen 40 is displayed according to the contents set in S830. In S790, if the variable n exceeds the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S840.

[0113] (10) Effects of the embodiment In the image processing device 10 of this embodiment, when the user mode is set to the general mode, the personal attribute tabs are not displayed, but the shared attribute tabs are displayed, and the tab set as the main tab is selected. However, when the attribute of the main tab is set to personal, the main tab is not displayed, and one of the other shared attribute tabs is selected.

[0114] Therefore, even if the attributes of the main tab are changed to personal settings, after operation in the general mode is started, the selected tab can be appropriately determined and the home screen can be appropriately displayed.

[0117] 2. Other Embodiments Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be practiced in various modified forms.

[0118] (1) The type of home screen to be displayed first when switching to personal mode, i.e., which tab to select and display, may be determined by a process different from the personal mode home screen display process shown in FIG. 11.

[0119] For example, as shown in the user list in Fig. 3(c), any tab may be pre-registered as a personal main home screen tab for each registered user. If a personal main home screen tab is set for the logged-in user, the personal main home screen tab may be displayed and selected on the home screen.

[0120] To achieve this, the home screen may be displayed by executing, for example, the personal mode home screen display process shown in Fig. 12 instead of the personal mode home screen display process shown in Fig. 11. The personal mode home screen display process shown in Fig. 12 will now be described in detail.

[0121] This will be described with reference to Fig. 12. When the control unit 11 starts the personal mode home screen display process shown in Fig. 12, in S910, it acquires login user information in the same manner as in S710. In S920, it determines whether the personal registration tab of the login user is the same as the personal main home screen tab of the login user based on the user list.

[0122] If the personal registration tab of the logged-in user is the same as the personal main home screen tab of the logged-in user, the process proceeds to S930. In this case, the process of S930 and the subsequent process of S940 are the same as the processes of S740 to S750 in FIG.

[0123] If the login user's personal registration tab is different from the login user's personal main home screen tab in S920, the process proceeds to S950. In S950, it is determined whether the attribute of the personal main home screen tab is shared. Specifically, the tab attribute of the tab corresponding to the acquired personal main home screen tab is acquired from the tab setting table stored in the storage unit 12, and it is determined whether the attribute is shared. If the attribute of the personal main home screen tab is shared, the process proceeds to S1030. In S1030, the tab screen of the personal main home screen tab is set as the home screen, and the process proceeds to S940. In this case, in S940, the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S1030. That is, the tab setting table is referenced, and the home screen 40 including the shared attribute tab and the login user's personal registration tab, which is set as the home screen in S1030, is set to a selected state.

[0124] If the attribute of the personal main home screen tab is not shared at S950, the process proceeds to S960. At S960, a variable n is set to 1. At S970, it is determined whether the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs. If the variable n is equal to or less than the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S980. At S980, information on the nth tab is obtained from the tab setting table.

[0125] In S990, it is determined whether the attribute of the nth tab is shared based on the information acquired in S980. If the attribute of the nth tab is not shared, in S1000, the variable n is incremented by 1 and the process proceeds to S970. If the attribute of the nth tab is shared, the process proceeds to S1010.

[0126] In S1010, the tab screen of the nth tab is set as the home screen. After processing in S1010, the process proceeds to S940, where the home screen 40 is displayed according to the settings made in S1010. In S970, if the variable n exceeds the total number of tabs, the process proceeds to S1020. In S1020, the variable n is decremented by 1, and the process proceeds to S1010.

[0127] (2) In the tab attribute setting screen 30 shown in Fig. 4, the main home setting mark 7 may be a mark of any design. Also, instead of adding the main home setting mark 7, the corresponding tab may be highlighted or displayed in a different color, for example, so that it can be distinguished from other tabs.

[0128] (3) On the main home screen setting screen 35 shown in Fig. 5, options for tabs that cannot be selected may be displayed in any form. Alternatively, options for tabs that cannot be selected may not be displayed.

[0129] (4) In addition, multiple functions of one component in the above embodiments may be realized by multiple components, or one function of one component may be realized by multiple components. Also, multiple functions of multiple components may be realized by one component, or one function realized by multiple components may be realized by one component. Also, part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be omitted. Also, at least part of the configuration of the above embodiments may be added to or substituted for the configuration of another of the above embodiments. [Explanation of symbols]
