Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus for a compound copying machine connected to the Internet, an Internet FAX, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Up to now, an image processing apparatus for printing a CM on a margin of an output sheet has been proposed.

[0003]

However, since this modifies the output, it is not used for formal document output, etc., and in many cases, it does not exhibit the substantial effect.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention, the same effect can be obtained without processing the output by displaying the selected CM on the operation unit instead of on the output sheet.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (Embodiment) <Outline of Apparatus> FIG. 1 shows the most general image processing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as a copying machine) to which the present invention relates.

[0006] In brief, the CPU 1000 determines the HD (or R) according to the items and setting values required for job setting.
Display data is read out from the OM) and expanded in the RAM 1004, and the display controller 1001 reads out the display data from the RAM and displays it on the display 1. When the touch panel 2 is pressed, the touch panel controller 1002 converts the input coordinates into the display coordinates, and the CP
The U1000 judges the input from the correlation with the display data, and changes the setting value and sets / submits / stops the job such as the mode. In addition to RAM, it is also common to provide VRAM for display only).

Further, the CPU 1000 stores and compares, in the RAM 1004, the state of the entire apparatus such as the start / interruption / completion of a job, the occurrence of a jam, the input on the touch panel 2, and the like, and manages the same. Further, the HD 1003 stores a program necessary for executing a job, and the CPU 10
00 is read and executed as needed.

For example, when making a copy, 1. The CPU 1000 sets the copy control program to HD10.
Read from 03 and execute. 2. The scanner 1006 reads the original based on the settings stored in the RAM 1004, and reads the image data in the RAM 1004.
Stored in 1004. 3. When the storage is completed, the copy control program continuously reads the image data from the RAM 1004 and outputs it to the printer 1007. Follow the procedure.

Further, a HD WEB browser is also stored in the HD 1003, and if a WEB display request is made by connecting to the Internet outside the device through the NIC 1005,
It is called from the HD 1003 and executed.

<Selection of CM> When a request for CM selection is made, the CPU 1000 operates a list of selectable CMs as shown in FIG. 3 from a CM display candidate list having the same structure as the display CM list of FIG. 4 although not shown. Displayed on the copy section, and the CM selected by the user is displayed on the HD1003 display CM list shown in FIG.
To store.

At this time, the discount rate for each selected CM is determined according to the PR. PR is deducted from maintenance costs or billing information on a monthly basis.

<Display Idle of CM> CPU 1000
Finds that the device status is no job, HD
Referring to the display CM list shown in FIG.
From the end of the list of the attributes of B, which is displayed last, it is displayed on the operation unit through the WEB browser at regular intervals.

<Display on CM status line> CP
Each time the U1000 displays the CM display timing of the status line, the U1000 refers to the display CM list in the HD 1003 shown in FIG. To do.

<Display of Sponsor WEB> When the home page key of the sponsor displayed in the CM is pressed, C
The PU 1000 refers to the CM display list and displays the sponsor URL corresponding to the CM currently being displayed through the WEB browser.

At this time, the amount of money designated in PR2 of FIG. 3 according to the selected key is accumulated for each access, and is subtracted from the maintenance cost or billing information.

[0016]

As is apparent from the above, by using the present invention, the selected CM is displayed not on the output sheet but on the operation unit, so that the CM effect can be achieved without processing the output.
