Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus such as a digital multifunction peripheral, a control method thereof, and a program for realizing the control method.

  A digital multi-function peripheral having a plurality of functions such as a facsimile communication function and an e-mail communication function is conventionally known. Such a digital multi-function peripheral transmits image data such as a facsimile document received from a device such as a facsimile communication apparatus connected via a network or a public line to a predetermined transfer destination, prints it, or stores it in a personal box. Some transfer operations are performed. Such a transfer operation is performed in accordance with preset transfer setting information such as whether the image data is transmitted to a predetermined transfer destination, printed, or stored.

  In the transfer setting information, transmission source information and output information are stored as a set. The transmission source information is information indicating the transmission source such as dial information, F code information, password information, IP address, mail address, and domain information. The output information is information indicating an output operation such as printing, movement to a personal box, erasure, and transmission to a designated transmission destination. When the transmission source information matches the registration information when receiving the image data, processing such as transmission of the received image data, printing, transfer to a personal box, or deletion is performed according to the output information.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique related to the above-described reception transfer setting. In the information processing system of this document, a copying apparatus and a digital multifunction peripheral are connected via a network. When there is a transfer condition that matches the entry target in the transfer conditions imported from the copying machine, the MFP automatically registers this transfer condition in the transfer condition setting database of the MFP. ing.

  Also, in a digital multi-function peripheral, when a document is received, memory reception is often performed in which the received document is temporarily stored in a memory. In the case of such memory reception, the user manually outputs the document after confirming the document in the memory. For example, only necessary documents are printed, moved to a dedicated box in the digital multifunction peripheral, or transmitted to another device.

  However, although the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 can automatically register a predetermined transfer condition imported from a copying apparatus in a digital multifunction peripheral, an output operation manually performed by the user in the digital multifunction peripheral is automatically registered. I can't do it.

  Also, in a digital multi-function peripheral that performs memory reception, it is time-consuming to perform output such as transmission and printing after confirmation of the transmission source by the user's operation or confirmation of the document by preview. there were. In particular, the digital multi-function peripheral may regularly receive a document having the same content. When such a document is received, it is considered that the user often performs the same output thereafter. In such a case, the user must always perform the same operation manually, which is troublesome.

  In order to automatically process these outputs, the output information can be registered in the transfer setting information in the digital multi-function peripheral. However, in this case, much time is required for registration, and the operability of the user is impaired. It was.

  In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention provides an information processing apparatus, a control method thereof, and a program capable of improving user operability in a user output operation on received document information. Objective.

  The index number 501 is a serial number for managing transfer settings. The tmp registration flag 502 stores whether the transfer setting information is temporarily registered or permanently registered. When the flag is ON (1), it means temporary registration of transfer settings, and when it is OFF (0), it means permanent registration. In the automatic / manual registration type 503, manual (0) is set by a user operation according to a conventional procedure at the time of manual transfer setting registration, and automatic transfer setting registration is performed at the time of output operation of a received document, which is a feature of the present embodiment. In this case, automatic (1) is set.

  The number of output operations 504 is used when the tmp registration flag 502 is ON, and stores the number of times the user has performed the same operation in the temporary registration state. The initial value is 1, and one is added every time the user performs the same operation. The setting valid / invalid flag 505 stores OFF (0) flag information and ON (1) flag information. That is, when registering transfer settings, only transfer setting information is registered, and when registering in an invalid state that is later enabled by a user operation, flag information of OFF (0) is stored. When registering in the transfer setting information and registering in a state where the transfer setting is valid, flag information of ON (1) is stored.

  The transfer condition name 506 is a transfer condition name that can be named by the user. During automatic transfer setting registration, the transfer condition name 506 is blank (not set). The transfer condition 507 is an area for storing transmission protocol information such as facsimile or IFAX, and transmission source information such as a telephone number, F code, password, IP address, domain information, and mail address. A transfer destination 508 is an area for storing document output operations such as printing, transmission, and movement to a personal box. The personal box is a storage area divided for each user. At the time of automatic transfer setting registration, “print” is set when the received document received in the memory is printed by a user operation, and “transmission” is set together with the destination information when a transmission operation is performed by designating the destination. Further, when moving to a personal box, “move to personal box” is set together with the destination box number, and when deleting operation is performed, “delete” is set.

  The transfer setting information can be displayed and corrected from a predetermined transfer setting screen in a state where the tmp registration flag is OFF.

<Display screen used in this embodiment>
FIG. 4 is a screen diagram illustrating a transfer setting list screen displayed on the operation unit of the digital multi-function peripheral 105 according to the present embodiment.

  In the same screen, “On / Off” 901 is a display indicating the presence / absence of transfer setting. When the transfer setting is set to invalid, “Off” is displayed at the time of setting registration, and when it is set to valid, “On” is displayed at the time of setting registration. . The transfer setting registration type 902 is displayed as “automatic” during automatic registration of transfer settings, and “manual” during manual registration. The transfer name 903 is displayed when a transfer setting name is input by the user during transfer setting manual registration, and is set as not input during automatic registration. The transfer name may be displayed by storing information such as the automatic generation time of the transfer setting and the telephone number as the transmission source information. The reception protocol 904 displays information on reception protocols such as facsimile reception and Internet fax (IFAX) reception. The transfer setting list 905 displays transfer settings registered by manual registration or automatic registration as described above.

  From such a transfer setting list screen, the user can arbitrarily enable / disable the automatically registered transfer setting.

  FIGS. 5A, 5 </ b> B, and 5 </ b> C are screen diagrams illustrating a screen display of transfer settings displayed on the operation unit display device 203 of the digital multi-function peripheral 105 according to the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 9A, a transfer setting automatic registration screen 301 automatically includes the transmission source information and output operation information of the received document in the transfer setting list when the user performs the output operation of the received document. It is a screen for designating whether or not to add. When “Yes” is pressed on the transfer setting automatic registration screen 301, a screen 302 for specifying details of transfer settings as shown in FIG. 5B is displayed.

  In this screen 302, selection areas 303 to 307 corresponding to the respective items are displayed. The “number of times until registration” area 303 is used to automatically register transfer settings when the number of times that the user has performed the same output operation on received documents from the same sender reaches the specified number of times. For example, when the number of times is specified three times, registration is performed in the transfer setting when the user outputs a received document from the same transmission source three times by the same output operation. As described above, when the same output operation is performed a plurality of times on the received document, the information on the output operation and the transmission source information of the received document are automatically registered in the transfer setting information.

  The “registration level” area 304 is only registered in the transfer setting list at the time of transfer setting registration, “register with invalid setting” registered in an invalid state, and registered in the transfer setting list and in an activated state. This is an area for selecting any setting of “Register with valid settings” to be registered. When “Register with invalid setting” is selected, the transfer setting is validated by changing the invalid state to the valid state by a user operation. The “registration range restriction” area 305 is an area for designating document information to be automatically registered for transfer settings, and it is possible to designate three types of all received documents: only a personal box, only a memory reception box. The “transfer condition display” area 306 is an area for designating whether or not to display the registered contents to the user before the transfer setting automatic registration, and “display during output operation” and “not display during output operation”. "Can be selected. The “transfer condition reception setting” area 307 is used to select one or more of telephone number, F code, password, IP address, domain information, mail address, facsimile communication, IFAX communication, and the like as transmission source information (input information). It is an area. This area 307 enables the selected information to be registered as transfer setting source information during automatic transfer setting registration.

  FIG. 5C is a screen diagram illustrating a registration transfer setting information confirmation screen displayed when an operation of outputting a memory received document in the digital multi-function peripheral 105 according to the embodiment is performed.

  The registration transfer setting information confirmation screen 401 is displayed on the operation unit display device 203 as a confirmation screen before automatic registration in the transfer setting list when the user performs printing, transmission, or movement to a personal box as an output operation of a memory received document. It is a screen to be displayed. This screen is displayed when “display on output” is set in the “transfer condition display” area 306 of the transfer detail setting screen 302. Further, the transfer setting information is displayed based on the conditions specified in advance on the transfer detail setting screen 302. For example, when “register with invalid setting” is selected in the “registration level” area 304, “register with invalid setting” is displayed in the “registration level” area 402 in this screen 401. Similarly, when “register with valid setting” is selected in the “registration level” area 304, “register with valid setting” is displayed in the “registration level” area 304 in this screen 401. After confirming the “registration level” area 402, the user can change to either “register with invalid setting” or “register with valid setting”.

  In the “reception information” area 403, the information selected in the “transfer condition reception setting” area 307 is the display target or check target of the “reception information” area 403. For example, in the “reception information” area 403, when a facsimile is selected as the reception protocol and a telephone number is selected as the transmission source information, the following is performed. That is, when the transmission source information of the received document received by facsimile is telephone number: 0344448888, F code: 11112222, and password: 2222, only the “telephone number” is checked as in the display example of the “reception information” area 403. It is displayed in the state. In the case of registering facsimile reception and telephone number: 0344448888 as reception information for transfer settings, the user presses the “Yes” button in the screen 401 without changing the settings. In addition, when registering in the “reception information” area of the transfer setting including the F code and password, it can be set by checking the check box of the F code and password by the user operation.

  The “output information” area 404 displays a check display of any output operation of printing, transmission, or movement to a personal box performed by the user. Here, when the user wants to print and save the document in the personal box at the same time, the user can set it by checking both printing and moving to the personal box.

<Processing in the present embodiment>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing transfer processing after facsimile reception of the digital multi-function peripheral 105 in the present embodiment.

  The digital multi-function peripheral 105 performs IFAX reception or facsimile reception via the network 100 and the PSTN facsimile line 106, and then executes the following processing. First, in step S601, the existing transfer settings of this registration are searched for a transfer setting that matches the reception protocol and the transmission source information. If there is a matching transfer setting, the process proceeds to step S603, where If there is no transfer setting to be performed, the process proceeds to step S602. Here, regarding the transfer setting registered in the transfer setting information database in the tmp registration flag ON, that is, in the temporary registration state, only the transfer setting in the tmp registration flag OFF, that is, the registration state is searched, except for the transfer setting search target. And

  In step S602, a document that does not match the transfer setting is temporarily saved by memory reception. In step S603, output operations such as printing of the received document, transmission to the designated transmission destination (communication partner), movement to the designated personal box, and deletion are performed according to the matched transfer settings.

  Next, the operation when the user outputs a received document in the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing transfer setting automatic registration processing at the time of a received document output operation of the digital multi-function peripheral 105 according to the present embodiment.

  First, when an output operation such as printing, transmission, or movement to a personal box is performed on a received document by a user operation, in step S701, the setting status of the transfer setting automatic registration screen 301 is checked, that is, whether to automatically register is checked. To do. In the case of setting not to perform automatic registration, the transfer setting automatic registration is not performed after leaving this sequence. On the other hand, if it is set to perform automatic registration, the process proceeds to step S702.

  In step S <b> 702, the “registration range restriction” area 305 in the transfer detail setting screen 302 is checked. If the content is “personal box only”, the process proceeds to step S703. If the content is only memory reception, the process proceeds to step S704. If there is no registration restriction and all received documents are targeted, step S705 is performed. Migrate to

  In step S703, the storage location of the document on which the output operation has been performed is checked. If the document is a personal box, the process proceeds to step S705. Similarly, in step S704, the storage location of the document on which the output operation has been performed is checked. If the document is a memory reception box, the process proceeds to step S705. In step S705, output operation information such as printing, transmission, and movement to a personal box operated by the user is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S706.

  In step S706, reception protocol information such as facsimile or IFAX (Internet fax) of the received document and transmission source information such as telephone number, F code, and sub address are acquired as reception information, and the process proceeds to step S707. In step S707, it is searched whether there is a transfer condition in the transfer setting information database that matches the transfer condition composed of the reception information and the output information. If it already exists, the process proceeds to step S708, and if it does not exist, the process proceeds to step S709.

  In step S708, the information of the tmp registration flag 502 of the corresponding transfer setting in the transfer setting information database is checked, and when the tmp registration flag = OFF, it means that there is a transfer setting that can be referred to by the user, and the process leaves this sequence. . The tmp registration flag = ON means that there is a temporary transfer setting. At this time, the process proceeds to step S710.

  In step S710, information on the number of output operations 504 in the transfer setting information database is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S711. In step S711, the information A of the number of output operations 504 in the transfer setting information database is compared with the information B of the “number of times until registration” area 303 of the transfer details setting screen 302. When A + 1 ≧ B, that is, when the value obtained by adding 1 to the number of output operations 504 is equal to or greater than “designation of number of times until registration”, the process proceeds to step S713. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S712.

  In step S712, since the number of output operations with the same transfer setting is less than the number of registrations, 1 is added to the number of output operations 504, and this sequence ends. In step S713, since the number of output operations has reached the above-mentioned “number of times until registration”, the tmp registration flag 502 in the transfer setting information database is changed from ON to OFF, and this sequence ends. As a result of this operation, the relevant transfer settings that have been in the provisional registration state until the previous time become the main registration, and are displayed on the registered transfer setting information confirmation screen 401, so that the user can confirm and correct the settings. In addition, it becomes a target of transfer setting at the time of document reception.

  On the other hand, if there is no identical transfer condition in step S707, in step S709, the reception information acquired in S706 is compared with the transfer condition in the transfer setting information database to check whether the same reception information exists. . If it exists, the received information matches but the output operation is different, and the process proceeds to step S714. If not, the process proceeds to step S801 (transfer setting automatic registration process) in FIG.

  In step S714, transfer setting output operation information is created by combining the information of the transfer destination 508 of the corresponding transfer setting in the transfer setting information database and the output operation information acquired in step S705, and step S801 (transfer) in FIG. Move to (Automatic registration process). For example, if the corresponding transfer setting in the transfer setting information database is “move to personal box” and the output operation of the corresponding document by the user is “print”, the transfer setting output operation information is “personal” “Move to box” and “Print”.

  Next, transfer setting automatic registration processing according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing transfer setting automatic registration processing in the present embodiment.

  In step S801, whether the “number of times until registration” area 303 in the transfer details setting screen 302 is “once”, that is, immediate registration, or “two times or more”, that is, whether registration is performed when the same operation is performed the specified number of times. To check. When “1 time” is set, the process proceeds to step S802, and when “2 times or more” is set, the process proceeds to step S807.

  In step S802, when the “transfer condition display” area 306 in the transfer detail setting screen 302 is set to “not display at output”, the process proceeds to step S805, and when it is set to “display at output”, the process proceeds to step S803. Transition. In step S803, a registration transfer setting information confirmation screen 401 is displayed. Here, the information in the “registration level” area 402 displays information on the registration level 304 in the transfer detail setting screen 302. The information in the “reception information” area 403 displays the reception protocol and transmission source information stored in association with the received document for which the output operation acquired in step S706 has been performed. Further, on the screen 401, the transfer source information selected in the “transfer condition reception setting” area 307 in the transfer detail setting screen 302 is checked and displayed. The information in the “output information” area 404 is displayed by checking the output operation information by the user acquired in step S705.

  Next, in step S804, the user sets whether or not to save the transfer setting information displayed in step S803. When the user sets save, the process proceeds to step S806, and when the user does not save, the process exits this sequence. In step S805, transfer setting information automatic registration processing is performed. First, a new transfer setting area is secured in the transfer setting information database, a serial number is set in the index number 501, and the tmp registration flag 502 is set to OFF, that is, stored as a user-referenceable transfer setting. Automatic registration is set in the automatic / manual registration type 503, and 1 is set in the number of output operations 504. A setting valid / invalid flag 505 sets registration level 304 information in the transfer details setting screen 302. Nothing is set for the transfer condition name 506 at the time of automatic setting, the transfer condition 507 sets the received information acquired in step S706, and the transfer destination 508 sets the information of the output operation operated by the user acquired in step S705. To do. Then, the setting information is registered in the new transfer setting area, and the process ends.

  Similarly, in step S806, a new transfer setting area is secured in the transfer setting information database, and the index number 501, the tmp registration flag 502, the automatic / manual registration type 503, and the number of output operations 504 are described above. Set in the same manner as in S805. The setting valid / invalid flag 505 and the transfer condition name 506 are also set in the same manner as in step S805.

  The transfer condition 507 displays the reception information acquired in step S706 in step S803, and sets the reception information corrected by the user. The transfer destination 508 displays the output operation information operated by the user acquired in step S705 in step S803, and sets the output information after correction by the user. Then, the setting information is registered in the new transfer setting area, and the process ends.

  Similarly, in step S807, a new transfer setting area is secured in the transfer setting information database. The tmp registration flag 502 is stored as temporary transfer registration information, not ON, that is, transfer setting information that can be referred to by the user. Other index number 501, automatic / manual registration type 503, output operation count 504, setting valid / invalid flag 505, transfer condition name 506, transfer condition 507, and transfer destination 508 are set in the same manner as in step S805. Then, the setting information is registered in the new transfer setting area, and the process ends.
