Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, a control method, and a program. [Background technology]
[0002] When an image processing device breaks down or malfunctions, repairs and maintenance can be performed by either a service technician or the user. While service technicians have specialized knowledge of repairs, users are not necessarily familiar with repairs. Furthermore, improper handling of repair work can potentially cause further damage to the device. Therefore, the scope of repairs and maintenance that service technicians are permitted to perform generally differs from the scope of repairs and maintenance that users are permitted to perform.
[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a flag is set to indicate whether a method of dealing with an error can be performed by both a service technician and a user, and if the flag is not set, only the service technician is allowed to perform the method. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2016-137691 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In Patent Document 1, the range of repairs and maintenance that a user is allowed to perform in the repair function for users (hereinafter referred to as repair mode) is more limited than in the repair function for service personnel (hereinafter referred to as service mode), thereby reducing the risk of a user operating the device incorrectly. However, there is still a possibility that a malfunction may occur in the device due to an incorrect operation by a general user who is not familiar with repairing and maintaining the device. Therefore, there is a need for an environment in which the cause of the malfunction can be identified early even if a malfunction occurs. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve usability when a user repairs or maintains an image processing device. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The present invention comprises a receiving means for receiving input of a key code, a determining means for determining whether the key code received by the receiving means is a first key code for executing a first function mode or a second key code for executing a second function mode different from the first function mode, and a display means for displaying a screen relating to the first function mode on a display unit when the determining means determines that the received key code is the first key code, and for displaying a screen relating to the second function mode on the display unit when the determining means determines that the received key code is the second key code, wherein the display means displays a history screen on the display unit including information regarding the fact that the first function mode has been executed. [Effects of the Invention]
[0007] This makes it possible to improve usability when a user repairs or maintains an image processing apparatus. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiments do not limit the present disclosure according to the claims, and not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solutions of the present disclosure. In addition, in the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components, and redundant explanations will be omitted.
[0010] (First embodiment) 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an image processing device 100 according to this embodiment. Fig. 1(A) is a hardware block diagram of the image processing device 100, and Fig. 1(B) is a software block diagram of the image processing device 100.
[0011] 1A, the image processing device 100 is a so-called MFP (Multi-Function Peripheral) and includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a printer 104, and an operation display unit 105. The image processing device 100 also includes a USB (Universal Serial Bus) I / F 106 and a network I / F 107 as communication interfaces with the outside.
[0012] The CPU 101 is a system control unit that controls the entire image processing device 100. The ROM 102 stores a control program for the CPU 101. The control program is a control program that executes each process of this embodiment, which will be described below. The ROM 102 may be a rewritable flash ROM or the like, and stores setting values and management data registered by the user of the image processing device 100. The time zone setting is saved in this ROM 102. The control program can be updated by external input, which is called a software upgrade in this embodiment. When the software is upgraded, the content that controls the CPU 101 changes before and after the upgrade.
[0013] The RAM 103 stores execution programs, program control variables, various work buffers, etc., as well as some setting values and management data registered by the user of the image processing device 100. The printer 104 records received images and file data on recording paper. The operation display unit 105 is composed of a numeric keypad, keyboard, touch panel, LCD, LED, etc., and accepts various operations by the user, displays operation screens, and notifies the user. In this embodiment, key code input can be performed using, for example, a keyboard (software keys) on an LCD touch panel. In addition, various screens are displayed on the touch panel.
[0014] The USB I / F 106 connects to USB devices, communicates with them, and supplies power.
[0015] The network I / F 107 transmits and receives data between the terminal 108 and each unit of the image processing device 100 via a LAN 109 (wireless LAN / wired LAN). The communication method used to connect each device is, for example, the IEEE802.11 series communication standard (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth (Bluetooth Classic, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), etc.). The terminal 108 in this embodiment is a smartphone, tablet, personal computer (hereinafter referred to as PC), etc. The terminal 108 is also provided with a touch panel and keyboard functions for operation, allowing input and output from the user.
[0016] In FIG. 1B, the key input receiving unit 150 receives a key input from the image processing device 100. The storage unit 154 stores the key received by the key input receiving unit. The storage unit 154 also records (stores) information related to the user's use of the repair mode (first function mode), such as the date and time when the repair mode was used. Note that the functional unit that records the received key and the functional unit that stores information related to the use of the repair mode may be configured separately. The key code determination unit 151 refers to the storage unit 154 to determine whether a key code has been input. The display screen management unit 152 determines the screen content to be displayed based on the determination of the key code determination unit 151. The display screen generation unit 153 generates screen information to be displayed in accordance with an instruction from the display screen management unit 152. The display screen management unit 152 performs display control for screen display based on the screen information generated by the display screen generation unit 153.
[0017] 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a key code input method in this embodiment. In this embodiment, a key code can be input using a liquid crystal touch panel that constitutes the operation display unit 105. FIG. 2(A) shows an example of a screen displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel. Since the liquid crystal touch panel does not have fixed operation keys, the display screen management unit 152 displays a key area 200 and a display area 201 on the liquid crystal screen as shown in FIG. 2(A). Then, the user inputs a key code using the keys in the key area 200.
[0018] In this embodiment, when keys are entered 11 times in a specific order, such as # (sharp), 4, 7, 2, 3, 5, 7, 5, 9, 8, and #, the key code determination unit 151 determines that a repair mode key code (first key code) has been entered. Then, the display screen management unit 152 displays a screen for the repair mode so that the user can use the repair mode functions. Note that the key code (second key code) for the service mode (second function mode) is set to be different from the key code for the repair mode, and specifically, the keys are entered consecutively in the order of #, 5, 8, 3, 4, 6, 8, 6, 1, 9, and #.
[0019] If the repair mode key code is correctly entered, the display screen management unit 152 displays a repair item screen in the display area 201. This lets the user know that the repair mode function has been called. Here, the repair item screen displayed in the display area 201 in repair mode displays items indicating the consumption / amount of each consumable part currently installed in the image processing device 100, as shown in FIG. 2(A). The user can perform the necessary repair work according to the numerical values of these items, or change the setting values of each item according to the work that has been performed. Note that this screen is also displayed in the service mode, and the information indicated by each item is as follows: TONER-Y: Yellow toner consumption (amount consumed) TONER-M: Magenta toner consumption (amount consumed) TONER-C: Cyan toner consumption (amount consumed) TONER-K: Black toner consumption (amount consumed) WST-TNR: Waste toner accumulation level PT-DR-Y: Yellow drum wear level PT-DR-M: Magenta drum wear level PT-DR-C: Cyan drum wear
[0020] In this embodiment, key code input is accepted on any screen displayed on the operation display unit 105 of the image processing device 100. For example, key code input is accepted on any screen, such as the screen displayed immediately after startup, a menu screen on which icons for calling up the execution of each function of the image processing device 100 are arranged, or a setting screen for a specific item (e.g., copy, print, fax, etc.). If it is determined that the correct key code has been entered, a screen for the function corresponding to the key code is displayed.
[0021] On the other hand, if the key code determination unit 151 determines that the key code for the repair mode has been entered incorrectly, the display screen management unit 152 displays a screen notifying the user of an input error on the display screen 202, as shown in FIG. 2B. In this embodiment, the input error notification screen shown in FIG. 2B is displayed only when the key code for invoking the repair mode is entered incorrectly. That is, even if the key code for the service mode is entered incorrectly, the input error notification screen is not displayed. This is because the service technician is familiar with the operation of the image processing device 100 and can take appropriate action, such as re-entering the key code. Note that the input error notification screen shown in FIG. 2B is displayed when the user enters an incorrect key code to enter the repair mode for repair or maintenance. However, it may also be applied to key code entry when invoking other functions provided for the user.
[0022] 3 is a diagram illustrating the screens displayed in the service mode and repair mode in this embodiment. In the figure, a service mode screen 301 and a repair mode screen 302 are displayed in the service mode and repair mode, respectively, when performing specific repairs or maintenance.
[0023] The service mode screen 301 is a screen used by service personnel when performing work such as repairs and maintenance. When a service personnel performs repairs or maintenance, the screen is displayed by entering a service mode key code and operating the service mode. The service personnel can view and operate the items (such as "DC-CON") displayed on the service mode screen 301 to collect information necessary for repairs and perform the necessary measures. The service personnel can change the displayed items by pressing a button (such as "Adjust") at the top of the screen as needed depending on the work to be performed.
[0024] In FIG. 3A, the information indicated by each item displayed on the service mode screen 301 is as follows: DC-CON: Software version of the built-in print processing controller R-CON: Software version of the scanner processing controller installed PANEL: Software version of the installed operation panel processing controller ECO: Software version of the controller that handles confidential information SORTER: Software version of the first sorting controller installed NIB: Software version of the installed network processing controller SDL-STCH: Software version of the second sorting controller installed OP-CON: Software version of the installed optional function controller
[0025] In any of the above cases, a hyphen will be displayed if the controller is not installed or if the information cannot be obtained due to some error.
[0026] 3(B), the repair mode screen 302 is also a screen displayed for repair and maintenance. However, although both screens 301 and 302 are displayed when performing the same repair work, there are differences in the displayed content, such as the fact that the repair mode screen 302 does not include items below the display item "NIB" on the service mode screen 301.
[0027] 3(C) is a diagram illustrating the history screen 303 in this embodiment. The history screen 303 is a screen that lists the date and time when the repair mode function was first used. The history screen 303 is a screen that is displayed when you press the reset key from the service mode screen 301 to go back one level and then select the "REPAIR" item that is displayed there.
[0028] In the history screen 303, the "No." column indicates the order of recording, the "DATE" column indicates the month and day when the recording was made, the "YEAR" column indicates the year when the recording was made, and the "TIME" column indicates the time when the recording was made. In other words, it can be seen that the repair mode was last invoked at 15:23 on July 18, 2024. Each time the repair mode is invoked, the date and time is recorded at the top and moves down one by one. If no date and time have been recorded, "-" is displayed. The history screen 303 is a screen on which the date and time when the repair mode function was first used can be confirmed, but it is not displayed in the repair mode state, and is displayed when a user performs an operation to access the history screen 303 in the service mode state. Note that this embodiment is not limited to this, and the history screen 303 may be displayed from the repair mode state.
[0029] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the process of displaying an input error notification screen when entering a key code in repair mode in this embodiment. This flowchart starts when a user starts key input on the LCD touch panel of image processing device 100 to perform repair or maintenance. This flowchart is implemented by CPU 100 reading into RAM 103 and executing a program for implementing each control module stored in ROM 102. Note that some or all of the functions of the steps in FIG. 4 may be implemented by hardware such as an ASIC or electronic circuit. Furthermore, the symbol "S" in the description of each process indicates a step in the flowchart (the same applies to flowcharts in this specification).
[0030] First, in S400, the storage unit 154 stores the key input received by the key input receiving unit 150. Then, in S401, when the first two items (first two digits) are input as a key code, the key code determination unit 151 determines whether the first two items of the input key code stored in the storage unit 154 are consecutive input of the "#" key and the "4" key. If the key code determination unit 151 determines that the first two items of the input key code are consecutive input of the "#" key and the "4" key, the process proceeds to S402.
[0031] Next, in S402, the key code determination unit 151 determines that key code input for the repair mode has started, and sets a state in which key code input for the repair mode is started. In this embodiment, the key code for the repair mode is set to be different from the key code for the service mode, but at least the first predetermined number (two in this embodiment) are different. This allows the key code determination unit 151 to determine that key code input for the repair mode has started based on the first predetermined number of input keys.
[0032] In S403, storage unit 154 stores one key received by key input receiving unit 150, and the process proceeds to S404. Then, in S404, key code determination unit 151 determines whether the key stored in storage unit 154 in S403 is the "#" key, or whether the number of key inputs since key input began has reached 11. If the determination in S404 is No, the process returns to S403, and storage unit 154 stores the next input key.
[0033] On the other hand, in S404, if the key code determination unit 151 determines that the "#" key has been entered or that the number of key entries has reached 11, the process proceeds to S405. That is, in S404, the key code determination unit 151 determines that the user has completed entering the key code based on the fact that the last key (last digit) of the key code for the correct repair mode has been entered or the number of keys in the key code for the correct repair mode has been entered.
[0034] In S405, the key code determination unit 151 determines whether the input key code is valid. That is, the key code determination unit 151 determines whether the input key code stored in the storage unit 154 in S401 and S403 is the correct key code for the repair mode. If the key code determination unit 151 determines in S405 that the input key code is the correct key code for the repair mode, the process proceeds to S406, and if it determines that the input key code is not the correct key code for the repair mode, the process proceeds to S407.
[0035] In S406, the display screen management unit 152 displays a screen for the repair mode on the LCD panel and cancels the start state. On the other hand, if the process proceeds to S407, the display screen management unit 152 displays the input error notification screen 202 and cancels the start state. In S410, the storage unit 154 records and stores the date and time at that time. The information related to the date and time when use of the service mode was started, which is stored in S410, can be confirmed on the history screen 303.
[0036] If the key code determination unit 151 determines in S401 that the first two characters of the input key code are not the "#" key and the "4" key input consecutively, the process proceeds to S408, where the key code determination unit 151 determines whether the input key code is a key code for the service mode. If the input key code is determined to be a key code for the service mode in S408, the process proceeds to S409. The display screen management unit 152 then displays a screen for the service mode on the liquid crystal panel.
[0037] 5 is a flowchart showing the process of displaying the repair mode history screen 303 in this embodiment. This flowchart is implemented by the CPU 100 reading out the programs for implementing each control module stored in the ROM 102 into the RAM 103 and executing them.
[0038] The processing of the flowchart in FIG. 5 is initiated based on a key input from any screen, such as a screen immediately after startup, a menu screen, or a setting screen for a specific item (e.g., copy, print, fax, etc.). First, in S500, the key input acceptance unit 150 accepts the input of a key code. Then, in S501, the key code determination unit 151 determines whether the key code accepted by the key input acceptance unit 150 is a service mode key code. If the determination in S501 is YES, the processing proceeds to S502; if the determination is NO, the processing of this flowchart ends. In S502, the display screen management unit 152 accepts a user operation on the service mode screen, and in S503, determines whether a user operation has been performed to access the history screen 303 from the service mode screen. Then, if it is determined that a user operation has been performed to access the history screen 303, the processing proceeds to S504, and the display screen management unit 152 displays the history screen 303.
[0039] As described above, according to this embodiment, the date and time (timing) when the user used the repair mode can be identified, and therefore, an environment can be provided in which the cause of the problem can be identified early even if a problem occurs due to repair or maintenance of the image processing device 100. This makes it possible to improve usability when the user repairs or maintains the image processing device.
[0040] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the history screen 303 displays the date and time (timing) when the user used the repair mode, but in this embodiment, more detailed information is displayed on the history screen 303. The detailed information includes, for example, the processing content performed by the user in the repair mode and the name of the user logged in when the repair mode was executed. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the components already described in the first embodiment, and their description will be omitted.
[0041] 6A and 6B are diagrams illustrating a history screen in this embodiment. Fig. 6A is a diagram illustrating a history screen 600 when accessed from repair mode. In the history screen 600, in addition to the date and time when the repair mode was used, information about the user who accessed at that time is displayed as an item called "USER." In the history screen 600 of this embodiment, user information is displayed in the form of a user ID that identifies the user.
[0042] 6B is a diagram showing the history screen 610 when accessed from the service mode. In this embodiment, the method of accessing the history screen 600 or 610 is the same in both the service mode and the repair mode, and it is displayed by selecting the REPAIR item from the Display hierarchy.
[0043] In addition to the information on the history screen 600 displayed in repair mode, the history screen 610 has an additional item called "EXEC" that indicates the menu contents performed by the user. This "EXEC" item displays the details of the repairs and maintenance performed when the repair mode was accessed. Specifically, the process item numbers of the repairs and maintenance performed are displayed in a list, and the display area expands to the right according to the number of repairs and maintenance performed. The process item numbers are linked to the repair and maintenance contents, and for example, the numbers are associated with the surrounding contents displayed on a certain repair screen, starting with number 1 from the top.
[0044] For example, if a user enters repair mode and performs repair and maintenance items numbered 1, 3, 4, 5, and 9 in that order, the display will read "1, 3, 4, 5, 9" as shown in the first line of the history screen 610 in Figure 6(B). Note that if the order of the processes to be performed is changed, the display will be the same; for example, if the processes with item numbers 1 and 4 are swapped and executed, the display will read "4, 3, 1, 5, 9."
[0045] It is not necessary to display all of the information on the history screens 600 and 610 shown in Fig. 6, and only some of the information may be displayed. Also, in this embodiment, the history screen 610 displayed in service mode contains more information than the history screen 600 displayed in repair mode. However, the history screens in service mode and repair mode may be the same. Also, as in the first embodiment, the history screen may be displayed only when the service mode is entered, and may not be displayed in repair mode.
[0046] As described above, according to this embodiment, a history screen is displayed that displays not only the date and time (timing) when the user used the repair mode, but also information about the user who used the repair mode and the details of the processing performed in the repair mode. This makes it possible to identify the cause of a malfunction in the image processing device 100 from various pieces of information, thereby improving usability when the user repairs or maintains the image processing device.
