The following describes in detail the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the control configuration of a multifunction peripheral 100 that employs an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present application. The multifunction peripheral 100 is a device equipped with functions such as printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Hereinafter, the multifunction peripheral 100 will be referred to as MFP 100. MFP is an abbreviation for Multifunction Peripheral.

As shown in FIG. 1, the MFP 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 103, and an NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) 104.

The CPU 101 is responsible for overall control of the MFP 100, but in this embodiment, it controls the print engine 111 and the read engine 112 via the engine IF (Interface) 110 in accordance with setting information. The engine IF 110, print engine 111, and read engine 112 will be described later.

ROM 102 is a memory that stores the control program executed by CPU 101. CPU 101 reads the control program stored in ROM 102 and executes various processes.

RAM 103 is a memory that temporarily stores image data, etc. RAM 103 is also used as a storage area for temporarily storing data, signals, etc. used when CPU 101 executes a control program, or as a working area for data processing.

NVRAM 104 is non-volatile memory that stores setting information, etc.

The MFP 100 also has a panel 105 and keys 106.

In this embodiment, the panel 105 is a touch panel, and various screens are displayed on the panel 105 depending on the state of the MFP 100. The user can perform input operations by pressing input buttons, icons, a software keyboard (see Figure 3, etc., described below), etc. on the screen.

Keys 106 are hard keys, that is, keys formed by hardware. Typical examples include a power switch and a reset switch (neither shown).

The MFP 100 also includes a reading unit 107 and a communication IF 108.

In this embodiment, the reading unit 107 is a card reader that reads the card number from the card 200. In this embodiment, an IC card with a built-in IC (Integrated Circuit) chip is used as the card 200. The reading unit 107 reads the card number in the IC chip using near field communication (NFC) in response to the proximity or contact of the card 200. For this reason, the card number is stored in the IC chip. Note that this is not limited to the card number, and any other information that can identify the card 200 may be used, such as the owner's ID, serial number, or manufacturing number.

The communication IF 108 connects the MFP 100 to a communication network (not shown). In this embodiment, the communication network is assumed to be a wired or wireless LAN (Local Area Network), so the communication IF 108 is a LAN IF (Local Area Network Interface) or WLAN IF (Wireless LAN Interface). Of course, there are cases where a wired LAN and a wireless LAN coexist, in which case the communication IF 108 includes both a LAN IF and a WLAN IF.

The communication IF 108 also includes a FAX IF (Interface) that connects the MFP 100 to a telephone line (or to the Internet in the case of Internet fax) to send and receive faxes.

The MFP 100 also includes an engine IF 110. A print engine 111 and a reading engine 112 are connected to the engine IF 110.

The print engine 111 is an engine for printing images on sheets, and may use electrophotographic, inkjet, thermal, or other methods.

The reading engine 112 is an engine for reading images from documents, and includes a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) and a CIS (Contact Image Sensor), etc.

The engine IF 110 is a control circuit for controlling the print engine 111 and the read engine 112, and the CPU 101 controls the print engine 111 and the read engine 112 via the engine IF 110.

The engine IF 110 has a first engine IF (not shown) for controlling the print engine 111 and a second engine IF (not shown) for controlling the read engine 112. The first engine IF performs operations such as outputting control signals to the print engine 111 and outputting image data to the print engine 111 based on instructions from the CPU 101. The second engine IF performs operations such as outputting control signals to the read engine 112 and inputting image data from the read engine 112 based on instructions from the CPU 101.

The MFP 100 also includes an image processing circuit 120.

The image processing circuit 120 has a first image processing circuit (not shown) and a second image processing circuit (not shown). The first image processing circuit rasterizes image data related to a print job. The rasterized image data is temporarily stored in RAM 103 and output to the print engine 111. The second image processing circuit processes image data read from a document by the reading engine 112 into digital data. The digital image data is sent to the outside via the communication IF 108 or supplied to the print engine 111 and output to a sheet. The image data read from a document by the reading engine 112 is temporarily stored in RAM 103 and output to the second image processing circuit. Here, in this embodiment, "read" may also be referred to as "scan."

The CPU 101, ROM 102, RAM 103, NVRAM 104, panel 105, keys 106, reading unit 107, communication IF 108, engine IF 110, and image processing circuit 120 are interconnected by a bus 130.

Figure 2 shows an example of a database (hereinafter abbreviated as "DB") created in NVRAM 104. Figure 2(a) shows an example of a shortcut DB, and Figure 2(b) shows an example of an address book DB. The address book DB is an associated DB of the shortcut DB.

In this embodiment, shortcuts are icons that associate functions of the MFP 100 with various settings for those functions. Shortcuts are displayed on the panel 105, and when the user presses a shortcut, the CPU 101 executes the function and various settings of the MFP 100 associated with the pressed shortcut, omitting a series of function selection operations and various setting operations. Note that in the explanation of this embodiment, the fax function of the MFP 100 will be used as an example, and therefore each shortcut is associated with the fax function and various settings for the fax function.

As shown in Figure 2(a), each record in the shortcut DB is composed of attributes such as shortcut display name, registration number, function, function details, settings, OneTouch on/off, and card number. In this embodiment, each record in the shortcut DB is called shortcut data. Note that a shortcut refers to the icon that appears when shortcut data is displayed on panel 105, although the two terms may not be used strictly separately.

The shortcut display name is the name that is displayed when the shortcut data is displayed on panel 105.

The registration number is a number assigned to shortcut data in the order it is registered in the shortcut database.

A function is a function of the MFP 100. A function detail is a detailed function when the function is divided into multiple detailed functions.

Settings are various settings for the function. Examples of various settings include destination, image quality, and scan size.

Image quality, to be precise, refers to resolution. Resolution: Fine is a setting value that specifies high resolution (e.g., 400 dpi), Resolution: Super Fine is a setting value that specifies the highest resolution (e.g., 600 dpi), and Resolution: Standard is a setting value that specifies standard resolution (e.g., 300 dpi). The CPU 101 controls the reading engine 112 and other components according to the specified image quality (resolution) to acquire an image from the document.

Original size is a setting value that specifies the size of the original to be scanned, and ScanSize: A4 is a setting value that specifies scanning an image from an A4-sized original. The CPU 101 controls the scanning engine 112 according to the specified original size to acquire an image from the original.

Normal Fax and Internet Fax in the Function Details section of Figure 2 are setting values that specify the means for transmitting image data obtained by scanning to an external party. When Normal Fax is specified, the CPU 101 transmits image data relating to the image scanned by the scanning engine 112 to an external party via a telephone line.

If InternetFax is specified, the CPU 101 transmits image data relating to the image read by the reading engine 112 to an external party via an Internet line.

OneTouch is a function that causes the CPU 101 to execute the function associated with a shortcut based on various settings as soon as the user presses the shortcut. OneTouch: ON means that the one-touch function is enabled, and OneTouch: OFF means that the one-touch function is disabled.

As described above, the card number is information stored in the IC chip of card 200. The card number identifies and identifies card 200. The card number associates shortcut data with card 200.

As shown in Figure 2(b), each record in the address book DB is composed of attributes such as an address book number, a destination display name, and a destination address. Each record in the address book DB is called destination data.

The address book number is a number assigned to destination data in the order it is registered in the address book DB. This address book number is set as the destination among the settings included in each shortcut data registered in the shortcut DB. In other words, each destination data in the address book DB is associated with each shortcut data in the shortcut DB via the address book number. For this reason, as described above, the address book DB is an associated DB of the shortcut DB.

The destination display name is the name that is displayed when the destination data is displayed on panel 105.

The destination address is usually a phone number, but in some cases an email address may be registered (in the case of Internet fax), so the attribute name is set to "Destination Address."

Figures 3 and 4 show the transitions of the display screen on panel 105. The transitions of the display screens shown in Figures 3 and 4 will be described later.

Next, the control processing executed by the MFP 100, particularly the CPU 101, will be described in detail with reference to Figures 3 to 8. Hereinafter, in the explanation of each processing procedure, steps will be abbreviated as "S."

Figure 5 shows the steps of the main routine executed by the CPU 101. When the user presses the power switch or reset switch included in the keys 106, the CPU 101 boots up and starts the main routine.

In FIG. 5, the CPU 101 first determines whether the card number of the card 200 has been read by the reading unit 107 (S1). Although not shown, before making the determination in S1, the CPU 101 displays an initial screen on the panel 105. FIG. 3(a) shows an example of the initial screen (hereinafter referred to as the "HOME screen") 150.

If it is determined in S1 that the card number of card 200 has been read (S1: YES), CPU 101 stores the read card number in RAM 103 (S2).

Next, the CPU 101 executes shortcut processing (S3) and then returns to S1. Details of the shortcut processing will be described later using Figure 6.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S1 that the card number of card 200 has not been read (S1: NO), CPU 101 determines whether a button on the screen has been pressed (S4). Here, "screen" refers to, for example, HOME screen 150 in FIG. 3(a), and "buttons" refer to buttons 150a-150d and icons 150e-150j. Note that HOME screen 150 is the screen when "Basic1" button 150a is pressed.

If it is determined in S4 that a button press on the screen has been detected (S4: YES), the CPU 101 determines whether the button press is a press of the "Custom" button (S5). The "Custom" button is the "Custom1" button 150c or the "Custom2" button 150d on the HOME screen 150.

If it is determined in S5 that the button press is the "Custom" button press (S5: YES), the CPU 101 creates a list screen of shortcut data registered in the shortcut DB and displays it on the panel 105 (S6), and then returns the process to S1 above.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S5 that the button pressed is not the "Custom" button (S5: NO), the CPU 101 updates the screen to a screen corresponding to the pressed button (S7) and then returns to S1. For example, when the user presses the Fax icon 150e, the screen on the panel 105 transitions from the HOME screen 150 to the Fax Mode screen 152 shown in FIG. 3(b). Similarly, when the user presses the Copy icon 150f or the Scan icon 150g, the screen transitions to the Copy Mode screen or the Scan Mode screen (neither screen is shown), respectively.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 above that a button press on the screen has not been detected (S4: NO), the CPU 101 returns the process to step S1 above.

Figure 6 shows the detailed steps of the shortcut process in S3 above.

In FIG. 6, the CPU 101 first determines which screen is being displayed on the panel 105 (S11, S13, S15, S17).

If it is determined that the copy mode screen is displayed on panel 105 (S11: YES), CPU 101 sets the call function to "Copy" (S12). The "call function" is an area reserved in RAM 103. As will be described later, when calling shortcut data, CPU 101 calls shortcut data for a function corresponding to the display screen mode. Since the display screen mode is necessary for this processing, CPU 101 provides a "call function" area and stores the display screen mode.

Furthermore, if it is determined that the above-mentioned Scan Mode screen is displayed on the panel 105 (S13: YES), the CPU 101 sets the call function to "Scan" (S14).

Furthermore, if it is determined that the Fax Mode screen 152 is displayed on the panel 105 (S15: YES), the CPU 101 sets the call function to "Fax" (S16).

Furthermore, if it is determined that the HOME screen 150 is displayed on the panel 105 (S17: YES), the CPU 101 sets the call function to "ALL" (S18).

Next, the CPU 101 proceeds to S19. In S19, the CPU 101 determines whether an input field is displayed on the panel 105. Figure 3(c) shows an example of a destination input screen 154 including an input field 154a. The destination input screen 154 in Figure 3(c) is displayed from the fax mode (FaxMode) screen 152 when the user presses the input field 152a included in the fax mode (FaxMode) screen 152 in Figure 3(b).

A software keyboard 154b is also displayed on the destination input screen 154. The user can input text information by pressing the software keyboard 154b. If the determination in S19 determines that an input field is displayed on the panel 105 (S19: YES), and the user inputs some information including text information, the CPU 101 stores the input information, i.e., the input value, in the RAM 103 (S20). The CPU 101 then sets an input flag to ON (S21), and proceeds to S22. The input flag is a flag that the CPU 101 sets to ON when some input value including text information is entered into an input field (not limited to the input field 154a, but may be an input field on another screen).

On the other hand, if it is determined in S19 that an input field is not displayed on the panel 105 (S19: NO), the CPU 101 proceeds to S22.

In S22, the CPU 101 executes shortcut call processing. Subsequently, in S23, the CPU 101 sets the input flag to OFF. The CPU 101 then terminates the shortcut processing.

Figures 7 and 8 show the detailed steps for the shortcut call process.

In FIG. 7, the CPU 101 first determines whether the input flag is ON (S31). If it is determined that the input flag is ON (S31: YES), the CPU 101 proceeds to S32. If the input flag is ON, an input value has been entered into the input field.

Figure 4(a) shows the destination input screen 154' when the character information "AL" is entered into the input field 154a on the destination input screen 154 of Figure 3(c). The following explanation of the processing will use this case, that is, when the character information "AL" is entered into the input field 154a, as an example.

In S32, the CPU 101 searches for an item with a matching input value in the associated DB related to the shortcut data with a matching card number and call function. In this case, assume that the card number is "1001" and the call function is "Fax." Of the shortcut data registered in the shortcut DB, the shortcut data with a matching card number and call function are those with registration numbers 1 to 4. In this embodiment, the associated DB is the address book DB in Figure 2(b), as described above. Because the input value is "AL," the CPU 101 searches for an item with a matching value in the address book DB. Because the destination display name, which is an item in the address book DB, includes "AL," the CPU 101 searches for "ALEX" and "ALLY." Note that "match" also includes partial matches.

In this case, the subsequent determination in S33 determines that there is a matching item (S32: YES), so the CPU 101 stores shortcut data associated with the matching item in RAM 103 (S34). The shortcut data stored in RAM 103 is designated "A." As described above, the shortcut data and destination data in the address book DB are associated via the destination setting included in the shortcut data. Therefore, in this case, "A" includes shortcut data with the display name "TO_ALEX" and shortcut data with the display name "TO_ALLY."

Next, the CPU 101 searches the shortcut DB for shortcut data that matches the card number, call function, and input value (S35). The process in S32 above differs in that the DB searched is the association DB, whereas the process in S35 searches the shortcut DB. The shortcut DB also contains shortcut data that matches the card number "1001," the call function "Fax," and the input value "AL." This is because the shortcut display names "TO_ALEX" and "TO_ALLY" contain "AL."

Next, CPU 101 determines whether there is matching shortcut data (S37), and if there is matching shortcut data, CPU 101 stores the shortcut data in RAM 103 (S38), as in S34 above, and then proceeds to S39 in Figure 8. In S38, the shortcut data stored in RAM 103 is assumed to be "B." Therefore, in this case, "B" also includes shortcut data with the display name "TO_ALEX" and shortcut data with the display name "TO_ALLY."

On the other hand, if the determination in S37 is that there is no matching shortcut data, the CPU 101 skips S38 and proceeds to S39 in Figure 8.

On the other hand, if the input flag is determined to be OFF in S31 (S32: NO), the CPU 101 searches the shortcut DB for shortcut data with a matching card number and calling function (S36), and then proceeds to S37. The process of S37 has been described above, so its explanation will be omitted. Therefore, in this case, "B" includes shortcut data with registration numbers 1 to 5 registered in the shortcut DB.

In S39 of FIG. 8, the CPU 101 determines whether the target shortcut data exists. This determination is made based on whether the shortcut data is included in the union (A+B) of the above "A" and "B." In other words, if shortcut data is included in the union (A+B) (S39: YES), the CPU 101 determines whether the number of shortcut data included is one (S40).

If it is determined in S40 that only one shortcut data item exists (S: YES), CPU 101 determines whether the one-touch function included in the shortcut data, i.e., one-touch call, is set to ON (S41). If it is determined that one-touch call is set to ON (S41: YES), CPU 101 executes the function of the shortcut data (S42) and then terminates the shortcut call process. For example, suppose the user adds another "L" to input "ALL" in input field 154a of destination input screen 154' in FIG. 4(a). In this case, CPU 101 searches for only one shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALLY." Then, because OneTouch: ON is set for the shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALLY," CPU 101 immediately executes the function of the shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALLY."

On the other hand, if it is determined in S41 that one-touch call is set to OFF (S41: NO), the CPU 101 displays a start screen for the shortcut data function on the panel 105 (S43) and then terminates the shortcut call process. For example, suppose the user adds an "E" to the input field 154a of the destination input screen 154' in FIG. 4(a) to enter "ALE." In this case, the CPU 101 searches for only one shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALEX." Since OneTouch: OFF is set for the shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALEX," the CPU 101 displays a start screen for the function of the shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALEX" on the panel 105. Figure 4(c) shows an example of a start screen 158 for the fax function. When the user presses the "FaxStart" button 158a on this start screen 158, the CPU 101 executes the function of the shortcut data item with the display name "TO_ALEX." This will allow you to send a fax to the destination phone number "052456123×".

On the other hand, if it is determined in S40 above that there are multiple shortcut data items (S40: NO), the CPU 101 creates a list screen of the multiple shortcut data items and displays it on the panel 105 (S44), and then ends the shortcut call process. If it is determined in S39 that there are two pieces of shortcut data items, one with the display name "TO_ALEX" and the other with the display name "TO_ALLY", the CPU 101 creates a list screen of these two pieces of shortcut data items and displays it on the panel 105. Figure 4(b) shows an example of the shortcut data list screen 156.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S39 that no shortcut data is included in the union (A+B) (S39: NO), the CPU 101 terminates the shortcut call process.

As described above, the MFP 100 of this embodiment includes a reading unit 107 that reads the card number from the card 200, an NVRAM 104 that stores shortcut data including text information in association with the card number, a panel 105 for inputting text information, and a CPU 101 that executes processing based on the shortcut data associated with the card number.

The CPU 101 then searches for shortcut data in the NVRAM 104 based on the character information entered on the panel 105 and the card number read from the card 200 by the reading unit 107 (S32, S35).

In this way, the MFP 100 of this embodiment makes it possible to easily search for shortcut data.

In this embodiment, the MFP 100 is an example of an "information processing device." The card 200 is an example of a "medium." The card number is an example of "identification information." The shortcut data is an example of "setting information." The NVRAM 104 is an example of a "storage unit." The panel 105 is an example of an "input unit." The CPU 101 is an example of a "control unit."

Furthermore, when character information is input to the panel 105 and the card number is read from the card 200 by the reading unit 107, the CPU 101 searches for shortcut data corresponding to the input character information and the read card number (S32, S35).

Also, the text information contained in the shortcut data is a setting value.

The setting value also includes the display name of the shortcut data.

The setting value also includes destination information.

The MFP 100 also includes a panel 105, and if multiple shortcut data items are found by the search, the CPU 101 displays a list of the searched shortcut data items on the panel 105 (S44).

This makes search results visible, making it easier for users to find the shortcut data they're looking for.

By the way, panel 105 is an example of a "display unit."

Furthermore, if the search returns only one shortcut data item, the CPU 101 displays an execution start screen 158 on the panel 105 to start the execution of processing using the searched shortcut data item (S43).

This is convenient because users can simply press the execute button displayed on the execution start screen to start executing the process using the searched shortcut data.

The CPU 101 then executes processing using one of the searched shortcut data (S42).

This is convenient because the searched shortcut data begins executing without the user having to perform any operations.

The MFP 100 also includes a reading engine 112 that reads images from documents, and the shortcut data includes setting values related to reading by the reading engine 112.

The setting values also include setting values related to at least one of the document size and image quality.

In addition, the reading unit 107 reads the card number from the card 200 via wireless communication.

This is convenient because the user does not need to connect the card 200 directly to the MFP 100; they simply need to bring it close to the MFP 100.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention.

(1) In the above embodiment, the card number is read from the card 200, text information is entered into the input field 154a, and shortcut data containing the entered text information is searched for. However, this is not limited to this. It is also possible to enter text information into the input field 154a, read the card number from the card 200, and then start a search for shortcut data.

(2) In the above embodiment, an MFP 100 was used as an example of an information processing device, but the information processing device is not limited to an MFP 100 and may also be a standalone printer, scanner, or copier.

(3) In the above embodiment, the CPU 101 was described as an example of a control unit, but the control unit may include a CPU and a dedicated circuit. Examples of dedicated circuits include an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

(4) In the above embodiment, a card reader that reads the ID in the card 200 using NFC was given as an example of a reading unit, but this is not limiting. A Bluetooth (registered trademark) interface or the like may also be used as the communication interface. SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output) may also be used as the communication interface. In these cases, the external storage device will be a device having an interface that corresponds to the communication interface used. Furthermore, a two-dimensional code reader may also be used as the reading unit. Two-dimensional codes include barcodes and QR codes (registered trademark). In this case, the medium will be a card, sheet, or the like with a two-dimensional code printed on its surface.
