In the image forming apparatus 10, the transmission / reception control unit 40, the reading control unit 32, the image forming control unit , the communication line I / F unit , and the facsimile I / F unit are electrically connected to a system bus .

[0044] With the above configuration, the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment uses the CPU 20A to access the RAM 20C, the ROM 20B, and the HDD 26. The image forming apparatus 10 also uses the CPU 20A to control the display of information such as operation screens and various messages on the display 22A of the user interface 22 via the display control unit 28. The image forming apparatus 10 also uses the CPU 20A to control the operation of the document reading unit 44 and the document transport unit via the reading control unit 32. The image forming apparatus 10 also uses the CPU 20A to control the operation of the image forming unit 24 and the transport unit 25 via the image formation control unit 34, and to control the transmission and reception of communication data via the communication line I / F unit 36. The image forming apparatus 10 also uses the CPU 20A to control the transmission and reception of facsimile data via the facsimile I / F unit 38 via the transmission and reception control unit 40. Furthermore, the image forming apparatus 10 has the CPU 20A grasp the operation content in the user interface 22 based on the operation information detected by the operation input detection unit 30, and executes various controls based on the operation content.

[0045] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 20 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment functions as a display processing unit 50 that performs processing such as displaying an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus 10 by the CPU 20A executing a program stored in the ROM 20B.

[0047] The display processing unit 50 performs processing to display a contact registration screen for registering contacts, and processing to display a contact list screen as an example of a contact screen showing registered contacts.

[0048] The contact registration screen is a screen for registering contact information such as a destination name and destination. For example, the contact registration screen may be a screen as shown in FIG. 3. In the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment, multiple types of destinations can be registered for one contact. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when registering a new destination name as a contact, multiple types of destinations can be registered for one contact (destination name in FIG. 3). The example in FIG. 3 shows an example screen for registering email, SMB (Server Message Block), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), fax, IP (Internet Protocol) fax, and Internet fax as destination types.

[0049] The contact list screen is a screen that displays multiple types of destinations registered on the contact registration screen for each contact. The image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment displays a contact list screen 60 as shown in Fig. 4. That is, multiple types of destinations registered on the contact registration screen are displayed for each contact. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the contact list screen 60.

[0050] In detail, the display processing unit 50 includes the functions of a destination type receiving unit 52, a destination type extracting unit 54, a display order changing unit 56, and a screen display unit 58.

[0051] The destination type accepting unit 52 accepts the type of destination to be displayed from among multiple types of destinations that can be registered for each contact. In the image forming apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, when a contact list screen 60 showing a list of registered contacts is displayed, filtering by destination type is possible. Therefore, the destination type accepting unit 52 accepts the type of destination to be filtered. For example, the destination type is accepted by accepting an operation on the destination type selection button 62 in FIG. 4. For example, when an operation on the destination type selection button 62 shown in FIG. 4 is accepted, a window 63 displaying selectable destination types is displayed, and the destination type is accepted by accepting the selection result. Note that the destination type may be switched each time the destination type selection button 62 is touched.

[0052] The destination type extraction unit 54 extracts contacts registered with the destination type accepted by the destination type acceptance unit 52 from among the contacts pre-registered as a destination DB (database) in the HDD 26. For example, if email is accepted as the destination type, the destination type extraction unit 54 extracts contacts registered with email. In the example shown in FIG. 5, email is selected using the destination type selection button 62, and destinations registered with email are extracted and displayed as the contact list screen 60.

[0053] The display order change unit 56 changes the display order of multiple types of destinations registered for each contact to be displayed on the contact list screen. The display order may be changed so that, when displaying destinations that can be displayed in the display area among the types of destinations pre-registered for each contact, the destination type accepted by the destination type acceptance unit 52 is displayed in the display area. Alternatively, the display order may be changed so that the accepted destination type is given a higher priority than other destination types in the predetermined display order of the multiple destination types displayed on the contact list screen 60. In this embodiment, the default display order is SMB or FTP or SFTP, Internet fax, fax, and email. The following describes, as an example, an example in which the display order change unit 56 changes the display order so that the destination type accepted by the destination type acceptance unit 52 is displayed first. Specifically, when email is accepted as the destination type, the display order change unit 56 changes the display order so that email is displayed first among the multiple destination types, as shown in FIG. 6 . In the example of FIG. 6 , the display area is configured to display all character strings of the destination at the top. In this embodiment, when an application selection button 64 provided for each contact on the contact list screen 60 is operated, an application window 66 is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 to select an application related to the type of destination registered for the corresponding contact. When the application window 66 is displayed, the display order of the applications is also changed so that applications related to the type of destination accepted by the destination type accepting unit 52 are displayed at the top, for example. For example, in the example of FIG. 8 , when an email is accepted as the type of destination, the display order of the application "Send Email" is changed to the top. In this embodiment, the display order is changed so that the accepted type of destination and applications related to the accepted type of destination are displayed at the top. However, if the second or subsequent destinations can be displayed in the display area, the display order may not be changed, or the display priority may be changed so that the second or subsequent destinations are displayed before the second. For example, if the accepted type of destination can be displayed even if it is not displayed at the top, the contact list screen 60 may be displayed without changing the display order.Furthermore, if there is a contact whose accepted type of destination is not displayed in the display area, the display priority of only that contact may be changed.

[0054] The screen display unit 58 performs processing to display a contact list screen or the like on the display of the user interface 22 in accordance with the change result made by the display order change unit 56 .

[0055] In this embodiment, a destination type extraction unit 54 is provided to extract contacts registered with the type of destination accepted by the destination type acceptance unit 52 and display the contact list screen 60, but the destination type extraction unit 54 may be omitted and the registered contacts may be displayed without narrowing down the contacts.

[0056] Next, specific processing performed in the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment configured as described above will be described. Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing performed in the display processing unit 50 of the image forming apparatus 10 according to this embodiment. The processing in Fig. 9 starts, for example, when the user interface 22 is operated to instruct display of the address book.

[0057] In step 100, CPU 20A displays a default address book and proceeds to step 102. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, contact list screen 60 is displayed, which displays multiple types of destinations registered for each contact in a predetermined order and which can be displayed in the display area.

[0058] In step 102, CPU 20A determines whether a destination type has been selected. This determination is made by determining whether destination type reception unit 52 has received a destination type by, for example, operating destination type selection button 62 in Fig. 4. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 104, and if the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 112.

[0059] In step 104, the CPU 20A extracts contacts including the selected type of destination, and the process proceeds to step 106. That is, the destination type extraction unit 54 extracts contacts in which the destination type accepted by the destination type acceptance unit 52 is registered from contacts pre-registered as a destination DB (database) in the HDD 26.

[0060] In step 106, CPU 20A determines whether the destination of the selected type cannot be displayed. For example, this determination is made by display order change unit 56 determining whether the destination of the selected type is not at the top of a predetermined display order. Alternatively, it determines whether the display order is such that the destination cannot be displayed in the display area. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 108, and if negative, the process proceeds to step 112. Here, "unable to display" refers to a state in which the destination of the selected type cannot be displayed in the display area without being missing any of the destinations.

[0061] In step 108, CPU 20A changes the display order of the selected type of destination to the top, and proceeds to step 110. That is, display order change unit 56 changes the display order of multiple types of destinations so that the type of destination accepted by destination type acceptance unit 52 is at the top.

[0062] In step 110, CPU 20A changes to the changed address book and proceeds to step 112. That is, screen display unit 58 extracts the type of the accepted destination and displays contact list screen 60 on the display of user interface 22 in the display order changed by display order change unit 56.

[0063] In step 112, CPU 20A determines whether an application selection instruction has been issued. This determination is made by determining, for example, whether application selection button 64 provided for each contact on contact list screen 60 has been operated. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 114, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 116.

[0064] In step 114, CPU 20A determines whether or not to end the display of the address book. This determination is made by determining, for example, whether an operation to display something other than the address book has been performed on user interface 22. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 102 and the above-described processing is repeated; if the determination is positive, the series of processing steps is terminated.

[0065] On the other hand, in step 116, the process proceeds to the application selection instruction window display process. The application selection instruction window display process will now be described. Fig. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the application selection instruction window display process.

[0066] In step 200, CPU 20A determines whether to change the application display order. This determination is made, for example, by determining whether the application related to the destination type accepted by destination type accepting unit 52 is placed at a display order other than the top, relative to the predetermined display order of applications related to the destination type registered in the contact for which application selection button 64 was operated, determined by display order changing unit 56. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 202, and if the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 204.

[0067] In step 202, CPU 20A changes the display order of applications related to the selected type of destination to the top. That is, display order change unit 56 changes the display order of applications so that the application related to the type of destination accepted by destination type acceptance unit 52 is at the top.

[0068] In step 204, CPU 20A displays an available application window, and then proceeds to step 206. That is, screen display unit 58 displays a list of available applications as application window 66, as shown in FIGS.

[0069] In step 206, CPU 20A determines whether an application has been selected. This determination determines whether an operation to select an application has been performed from the displayed application window 66. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 208, and if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 212.

[0070] In step 208, CPU 20A determines whether an instruction to return to the address book has been given. This determination is made by determining, for example, whether an operation has been performed on a window other than application window 66. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 206 and the above-described process is repeated; if the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 210.

[0071] In step 210, the CPU 20A ends the display of the application window 66, and returns to step 102 to repeat the above-mentioned processing.

[0072] On the other hand, in step 212, CPU 20A proceeds to processing of the selected application and ends the series of processes.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the display order of multiple types of destinations on the contact list screen 60 is changed so that destinations of the accepted type are displayed, but this is not limited to this. For example, only destinations of the accepted type may be displayed, and destinations of other types may be hidden. Alternatively, destinations of the accepted type may be displayed first, and if the other destinations cannot be displayed in the display area, they may be displayed sequentially by scrolling or switching the display. Furthermore, in the application window 66, only applications related to destinations of the accepted type may be displayed, and applications related to destinations of other types may be hidden.

[0074] Although the above embodiment has been described using the image forming apparatus 10 as an example, the present invention is not limited thereto and may be applied to a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone or other devices. For example, as shown in FIG. 11 , in an information processing system including the image forming apparatus 10 and a mobile terminal device 14, the mobile terminal device 14, which can remotely control the image forming apparatus 10, may be applied as an information processing device. In this case, the mobile terminal device 14 is capable of communicating with the image forming apparatus 10 via short-range wireless communication, and the image forming apparatus 10 can be operated from the mobile terminal device 14. For example, the mobile terminal device 14 may be a tablet device or a smartphone. Examples of short-range wireless communication include Wi-Fi (registered trademark) and Bluetooth (registered trademark). When communication is performed between the mobile terminal device 14 and the image forming apparatus 10 and the image forming apparatus 10 is remotely controlled from the mobile terminal device 14, a contact list screen 60 may be displayed on the mobile terminal device 14, as in the above embodiment. In this case, communication between the mobile terminal device 14 and the image forming device 10 may be via a communication line 16 of a wireless base station such as a mobile phone network or various networks (e.g., LAN, WAN, Ethernet (registered trademark), etc.) rather than short-range wireless communication, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 11.

[0075] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the contact list screen 60 is displayed, the type of destination is accepted, and the display order of the destination types is changed. However, this is not limiting. For example, before displaying the contact list screen 60, the type of destination may be accepted, and the contact list screen 60 may be displayed with the display order changed from the predetermined display order. For example, as shown in the upper part of FIG. 12 , the contact list screen 60 may be displayed without displaying the list of individual contacts, and after selecting a destination type by operating the destination type selection button 62, the contact list screen 60 may be displayed with the selected type of destination given a higher display priority than other types of destinations by operating the address book button 70. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example in which, after selecting a destination type, the contact list screen 60 is displayed with the selected type of destination given a higher display priority than other types of destinations.

[0076] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a CPU has been described as an example of a processor, but the term "processor" refers to a processor in a broad sense, and includes general-purpose processors (e.g., CPUs, etc.) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic device, etc.).

[0077] 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.
