Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus such as a facsimile, a printer, and a copying machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a network system in which an image processing apparatus such as a copying machine is shared by a plurality of users via an information processing apparatus such as a computer or information portable terminal, an error in the image processing apparatus In order to prevent a reduction in the operating rate of the image processing apparatus due to being left unattended for a long time without being canceled, the occurrence of an error is notified to the user terminal device.
[0003]
In a conventional apparatus that notifies an error in such a manner, if an error occurrence is notified only to the terminal device of the user who has instructed the job that was being executed when the error occurred, for example, the error is canceled when the user is absent. If the error is not detected, the error is not canceled and the image processing apparatus is left for a long time, resulting in a problem that the operating rate of the image processing apparatus is lowered.
[0004]
On the other hand, when an error is notified to the terminal devices of all users waiting for processing in the image processing apparatus, there are many cases where the number of persons required for the error canceling process is one in the installation place of the image processing apparatus. There may be a problem that the user comes to cancel the error.
[0005]
As one apparatus for solving such problems of the conventional apparatus, for example, there is an image processing apparatus having a composite function such as a multi-function printer as described in JP-A-11-8727.
[0006]
In this device, when an error occurs in the part that executes a specific job, the error occurrence information is analyzed to identify the error content, and the process waiting for the job that indicates the job that should not have such an error is specified. All the data related to the user terminal device is searched, and the error is notified to all the user terminal devices that have transmitted the job data that should not have the error based on the searched data.
[0007]
In general, the types of errors in the image processing apparatus include, for example, errors relating to paper (A4 paper out, paper jam during printing process, etc.) and errors such as toner exhaustion, but the image described in the above-mentioned JP-A-11-8727 In the processing apparatus, for example, if the error occurrence information is analyzed as an A4 paper out error as a result of analyzing the error occurrence information, a job that cannot be executed due to A4 paper out and the job are indicated. It is possible to search all of the data related to the terminal device of the user who has been sent, and to notify the error to all the terminal devices of the users who have transmitted the searched job data.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the image processing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-8727, when an error occurs as described above, a job that cannot be executed if there is an error is in a waiting state. Although errors can be notified to all users' terminal devices, errors that occur frequently and have a large impact, such as errors related to A4 paper and out-of-toner errors, occur. Since the job relating to the printing process cannot be executed, an error is notified to almost all user terminal devices.
[0009]
As a result, if an error occurs, the error is simultaneously notified to the user terminal device that does not need to rush the job processing. There was a problem that it was not possible to narrow down, and an efficient error notification could not be performed.
[0010]
The present invention solves the above-described problems in the prior art, and when an error occurs, the error notification is performed more effectively by narrowing down the terminal devices of users who perform error notification. An object is to provide an image processing apparatus.
[0011]

<Constitution>
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a network system 1 in which an image processing apparatus 2 according to the present invention and information processing apparatuses A, B,... Is shown.
[0021]
In this figure, an image processing apparatus 2 is connected to a plurality of information processing apparatuses A, B,.
[0022]
The image processing apparatus 2 includes a control unit 4, a display unit 5, an image forming unit 6, a memory 7, a network interface (hereinafter referred to as a network I / F) 8, and a power supply unit 9.
[0023]
The control unit 4 controls each of the above units, and converts the print data such as documents or drawings in the job data received from the information processing apparatuses A, B,... Into a print processable format. An error determination unit 12 that determines an error detected in the image forming unit 6 by a processing unit 10, a job data management unit 11 that manages received job data, and an error detection sensor group 6 a provided in the image forming unit 6.

[0024]
In such a configuration, the job data management unit 11 sequentially receives job data from the information processing apparatuses A, B,... Via the job reception unit 11c, and the sheet size data and job information in each job data are received. Data relating to the execution order is stored in the order storage unit (hereinafter referred to as a queue) 11b, and information relating to the user's information processing apparatus, that is, code information identifying the information processing apparatus is stored in the user information part 11a. Remember memorize.
[0025]
On the other hand, if job data for which priority is given to prioritize execution order over job data already stored in the queue 11b is received from any information processing apparatus, the storage order is changed. The designated priority level is also registered in the queue 11b.
[0026]
FIG. 2 shows a table representing a data array related to the execution order registered in the queue 11b of the job data management unit 11, and the priority of each job will be described with reference to this figure.
[0027]
If the user does not specify anything about the priority, it is registered as a normal job (job data ID: 00457, job data ID: 00459), and data indicating the priority is input if desired for priority processing. , A priority indicating the registration is registered based on the input data.
[0028]
With regard to the priority, in the present invention, the priority 2 job (job data ID: 00460) is set higher than the priority 1 job (job data ID: 00458).
[0029]
Therefore, the processing order of the job with the priority 2 (job data ID: 00460) is executed before the job with the priority 1 (job data ID: 00458).
[0030]
Therefore, in the case of FIG. 2, as the job processing order, the job of the second priority (job data ID: 00400) received last is next to the job currently being executed (job data ID: 00457). It is registered in the queue 11b to be processed.
[0031]
Further, when it is not necessary to prioritize job processing at all, the job processing is performed after the normal job by designating and registering non-priority like the job indicated by the job data ID: 00414.
[0032]
In the present invention, when there are a plurality of job data having the same priority, they are registered in the queue 11b so as to perform the printing process in order from the earlier received data.
[0033]
In general, the specification of priority by the information processing apparatus is allowed to be specified for all information processing apparatuses, but the priority specification for all information processing apparatuses is specified. Is registered in advance in the user information 11a of the job data management unit 11 in accordance with the priority of the information processing apparatus registered in advance. It may be configured to allow specification of priority.
[0034]
As a result, even if job data indicating a higher priority than the pre-specified priority is received from the information processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus 2 rejects the job data and executes the change of the storage order based on the priority. There is nothing.
[0035]
Referring back to FIG. 1, the error type determined by the error determination unit 12 includes a paper error (A4 paper or B4 paper out, paper jam caused by paper conveyance failure due to paper skew during printing, etc.) Error) such as jamming and toner out.
[0036]
Further, the notification unit 15 determines the contact information and contact means of the information processing apparatus of the user based on the user information stored in the user information unit 11a, and provides error information and necessary information from the image processing apparatus 2. Is notified to the information processing apparatus.
[0037]
The display unit 5 is composed of a liquid crystal display including a touch panel type switch unit, and displays data input by operation of the switch unit, the state of the image processing apparatus 2 including an error state, an operation guide at the time of user operation, and the like. It consists of a configuration to be performed.
[0038]
The image forming unit 6 performs printing processing of job data received from the information processing apparatuses A, B,..., And employs any printing system such as an electrophotographic system or an inkjet system.
[0039]
The memory 7 includes a storage unit 7a for storing print data such as drawings included in job data received from the information processing apparatuses A, B,... Until the printing process is executed, and the image processing apparatus 2 It is divided into a storage unit 7b that stores programs necessary for control, a storage unit 7c that stores other various data, and the like.
[0040]
The network I / F 8 is an interface for performing communication between the image processing apparatus 2 and the information processing apparatuses A, B,.
[0041]
The power supply unit 9 supplies power to each unit of the image processing apparatus 2 through a power supply line (not shown).
[0042]
Further, the information processing devices A, B,... That are the user terminal devices each include a control unit 17, a display unit 18, and a network I / F 16 that control the information processing devices.
[0043]
In such a configuration, the control unit 17 controls each part in the information processing apparatus, and at the time of transmitting job data to the image processing apparatus 2, the process designation data input by the display unit 18 is used. Is also transmitted to the image processing apparatus 2 via the network I / F 16, and when the error data is received from the image processing apparatus 2, the received error information is displayed on the display unit 18. Control.
<Description of action>
The operation when an error occurs in the image processing apparatus 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0044]
In the flowchart of FIG. 3, a case will be described in which the error determination unit 12 determines that the type of error that has occurred in the image processing apparatus 2 is A4 paper out.
[0045]
First, the job data management unit 11 extracts all job data affected by the execution due to an A4 paper out error, and extracts the job data ID of the job data for which the priority is specified from these job data. (Step S1).
[0046]
Next, job data having a higher priority among the job data specifying the priority extracted in step S1 (in this embodiment, job data having priority levels 1 and 2 are assigned priority levels). (Referred to as “priority job data”) (step S2). If there is priority job data, it is determined as YES, and the information processing apparatus that has designated the priority job data is determined. Then, at least one of the error occurrence information indicating that an A4 paper out error has occurred and an error release request for requesting replenishment of A4 paper is notified (step S3).
[0047]
Further, an error is notified to the information processing apparatus of the user who requested the job being processed when the error occurred and the information processing apparatus of the system administrator of the preset network system 1 (step S4). The job data management unit 11 stores the error notification times in steps S3 and S4 in cooperation with the clock circuit unit 4, and starts counting the time until a predetermined time elapses from the error notification times (steps). S5).
[0048]
On the other hand, if there is no priority job data in step S2, the job data management unit 11 determines NO, proceeds to step S6, and checks whether there is job data that is not affected by execution due to an A4 paper out error. .
[0049]
If there is no job data that is not affected by the execution due to the error, there is no job that needs to be processed at this point, and the power management unit 13 shifts to the power saving mode in which the power consumption of the image processing apparatus 2 is limited. After that (step S7), steps S4 to S5 are performed.
[0050]
On the other hand, in step S6, if there is job data that is not affected by the execution due to an A4 paper out error, the job data management unit 11 determines YES and prints the job indicated by the job data (for example, B4 printing). In order to execute the processing, steps S4 to S5 are performed without shifting to the power saving mode.
[0051]
After that, the image processing apparatus 2 enters a standby state until the user who has received the error notification in steps S3 and S4 cancels the error (step S8). In step S8, the image processing apparatus 2 receives the error notification. If the A4 sheet is replenished by the user and the error is canceled (YES in step S8), the notification step when the error occurs is completed.
[0052]
On the other hand, in step S8, an error is not canceled by the user who has received the error notification, and another event (for example, a B4 paper job, for example, as shown in step S9 before the predetermined time has elapsed from the error notification time). When data reception occurs (step S9), the processing shown in the following steps is executed.
[0053]
That is, when job data for print processing on the B4 paper other than A4 paper is added as job data that is not affected by execution due to an error occurring in the queue 11b, at this time, for example, the image processing apparatus 2 If it is in the power saving mode, the power saving mode is canceled and the job printing process is executed in order to execute the printing process of the newly added job data (step S10).
[0054]
In this way, by executing a B4 paper printing job that is not affected by the occurrence of an error due to A4 paper running out, it is possible to prevent the memory 7 from being full due to a delay in job data processing.
[0055]
Next, when the printing process in step S10 is completed, the information processing apparatus that requested the B4 paper job is notified of the completion of the job processing. At the same time, an error notification related to the A4 paper is notified. Is also performed on the apparatus (step S11).
[0056]
The reason why such processing is performed is to notify the user who comes to the place where the image processing apparatus 2 is installed to pick up the B4 paper that has been printed, and to prompt the user to cancel the error.
[0057]
Next, after step 11 is completed, the job data management unit 11 determines whether there is any job data that is not affected by the execution of the error based on the A4 sheet in the job data newly added to the queue 11b again. A determination is made (step S12).
[0058]
If there is job data that is not affected, it is determined as YES, a job related to job data that is not affected by the image forming unit 6 is executed, and the process returns to step S8.
[0059]
On the other hand, if there is no job data that is not affected by the execution in step S12, the job data management unit 11 determines NO, proceeds to step S13, and again adds the job data newly added to the queue 11b. The presence / absence of priority job data is determined (step S13).
[0060]
If there is priority job data, it is determined YES and the process returns to step S3.
[0061]
On the other hand, if there is no priority job data in step S13, the job data management unit 11 determines NO, and there is no job that needs to be processed at this time. After shifting to the power saving mode with limited power consumption (step S14), the process returns to step S8 again.
[0062]
Next, as another event shown in step S9, processing when a predetermined time has elapsed since the notification of an error will be described using steps S15 to S19.
[0063]
Note that the image processing apparatus 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when there is priority job data in the queue 11b, notifies the information processing apparatus that requested the priority job data of an error, thereby quickly Is requested to be released.
[0064]
Therefore, a predetermined time (error release waiting time) for monitoring whether or not the error is released within a predetermined time from the notification of the error is set in the job data management unit 11 in advance. The first error release waiting time for the information processing device that has requested a high priority job is higher than the second error release waiting time for the information processing device that has requested the priority 1 job. It is set short.
[0065]
Therefore, when an error occurs, first, the job data management unit 11 determines whether or not the first error cancellation waiting time has elapsed after the error notification to the information processing apparatus (for example, A) that has requested the job of priority 2 (step A). 15).
[0066]
If the first error release waiting time has elapsed without a release operation (in this example, replenishment of A4 paper) being performed by the user of the information processing apparatus A, the job data management unit 11 determines YES. Then, the data related to the priority of the job of priority 2 registered in the queue 11b is changed to data of priority 1, that is, the priority is lowered (step S16), and then the process returns to step S8 again.
[0067]
As described above, the job data management unit 11 lowers the priority designated by the information processing apparatus because the error is not canceled within a predetermined time even though the priority is designated high. This is because it is actually determined that it is not necessary to execute preferential printing processing.
[0068]
Next, the job data management unit 11 determines whether the second error cancellation waiting time has elapsed after the error notification to the information processing apparatus (for example, B) that has requested the job of priority 1 (step 17).
[0069]
If the second waiting time elapses without the release operation (replenishment of A4 paper in this example) performed by the user of the information processing apparatus B, the job data management unit 11 determines YES and the queue The data relating to the priority of the priority 1 job registered in 11b is changed to the data of the normal job, that is, the priority is lowered (step S18).
[0070]
Thereafter, in order to avoid further stagnation of job processing, an error is notified to all the information processing apparatuses that have requested a normal job that is affected by the error (step S19).
[0071]
In the above example, the embodiment in which the priority designation is permitted for all information processing apparatuses has been described. However, the user ID of the information processing apparatus that allows the user information unit 11a of the job data management unit 11 to designate the priority. The error cancellation waiting time can be applied even when the password is registered in advance.
[0072]
Details of the job priority change operation described with reference to FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0073]
FIG. 4A shows a table representing a data array related to the execution order registered in the queue 11 b of the job data management unit 11.
[0074]
As shown in this figure, when an A4 paper out error occurs during execution of a job (job data ID: 00457), the job data management unit 11 has a priority 2 job that is affected by the error. An error is notified to the information processing apparatus that has requested the job (job data ID: 00460) and the job of priority 1 (job data ID: 00458).
[0075]
In addition, an error is notified to the information processing apparatus that requested the job (job data ID: 00457) that was being executed when the error occurred and the information processing apparatus of the entire system administrator (not shown), and job data management The unit 11 starts counting the error release waiting time in cooperation with the clock circuit unit 4.
[0076]
Next, as shown in (b) of this figure, a print process of a B4 paper job (job data ID: 00461) that is not affected by the A4 paper out error is executed, and the job of the B4 paper is executed. When the printing process is completed, the information processing apparatus that requested the B4 sheet job is notified of the completion of the job. At the same time, an error related to the A4 sheet is also notified to the apparatus.
[0077]
FIG. 5A shows that the job of job data ID: 00457 continues in the standby state even after the printing process of the B4 paper job (job data ID: 00461) described in FIG. 4B is completed. From (a) to (b) in this figure, the user of the information processing apparatus that requested the job with the priority 2 (job data ID: 00460) does not release the error. The state where the first error release waiting time has elapsed and the priority is changed to 1 is shown.
[0078]
As a result, the priority of the job with the priority 2 (job data ID: 00460) is lowered to the priority 1 by the job data management unit 11.
[0079]
Details of the operation of changing the priority of the information processing apparatus in which the job data management unit 11 is allowed to specify the priority in advance and the user ID is registered will be described with reference to FIG.
[0080]
This figure shows a state in which the information processing apparatus of user ID: (Suzuki) and user ID: (Yamamoto) designates priority 2 in the user information unit 11a.
[0081]
In such a storage state of the user information unit 11a, when an error occurs and an error notification is issued, and the first error release waiting time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. The priority of the information processing apparatus with ID: (Yamamoto) is changed to priority 1 by the operation of the job data management unit 11.
[0082]
In the above (b), the priority of the information processing device (user ID: (Suzuki)) is not lowered because the present invention extends to the change of the priority of the information processing device of the administrator of the entire system. This is because the technology for changing the priority is not applied.
[0083]
Of course, it is also possible to adopt a configuration that lowers the priority of the information processing apparatus of the administrator.
[0084]
As an embodiment of the present invention described above, the image processing apparatus 2 receives job data in which a priority for giving priority to the job processing order is designated from the information processing apparatuses A, B,. Only the printer function that performs print processing in the printing order specified by the information processing apparatuses A, B,... Has been described, but the present invention can be applied to a copy function or a fax function in addition to the printer function.
[0085]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above. According to the image processing apparatus of the present invention, when job data with a specified priority is received from an information processing apparatus that is a user terminal apparatus, the information processing apparatus When the job processing is executed according to the specified priority and the occurrence of an error is detected, the job data specified with a high priority is extracted, and the extracted information is sent to the information processing apparatus that has transmitted the extracted job data. By notifying the occurrence of an error, it is possible to notify the occurrence of an error to an information processing device that rushes job processing, and promptly respond to the occurrence of an error such as canceling the error to the user. It can be made.
[0086]
Also, according to the image processing apparatus of the present invention, when job data with a specified priority transmitted from an information processing apparatus that is a user terminal apparatus is received, job processing is performed according to the priority specified by the information processing apparatus. When the occurrence of an error is detected, the content of the error that has occurred is determined, and job data that has been specified with a high priority among jobs that cannot be executed due to the determined error content To extract.
[0087]
Then, by notifying the information processing apparatus that has transmitted the extracted job data of the occurrence of an error, the information processing apparatus that prompts the processing in the job that cannot be executed due to the error is notified. It becomes possible to narrow down information processing apparatuses more effectively.
[0088]
Moreover, it is possible to promptly respond to the occurrence of an error such as canceling the error.
[0089]
In addition, when error cancellation wait time has passed without error cancellation, information that has sent job data that has not been specified with high priority among jobs that cannot be executed due to an error that has occurred By notifying the processing device of the occurrence of an error, it is possible to avoid a stagnation of job processing and to minimize troubles for many users.
[0090]
Furthermore, if an error occurs, the error is unlikely to be canceled in a short time, so the error is canceled by setting to enter the low power mode that limits the power consumption of the image processing apparatus. It becomes possible to suppress the power consumption until.
