(3) Description of Standby Screen The standby screen 25 is a tab-type screen having a plurality of tabs. Tab screens are individually associated with the plurality of tabs. The standby screen 25 displays a tab screen corresponding to one of the plurality of tabs which has been selected. Various kinds of information necessary for displaying the standby screen 25 and information on the contents of processing to be executed when various input operations are performed on the standby screen 25 through the input unit 14 are described in the storage unit 12. It is memorized.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the standby screen 25 displays up to four tabs. In the present embodiment, the total number Nt of tabs is larger than 4, which is the maximum number of tabs that can be displayed on the standby screen 25 simultaneously. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab 31, the second tab 32, the third tab 33 and the fourth tab 34 of the Nt tabs from the first tab to the Nt tab are displayed on the standby screen 25. It shows.

  Each tab displays the name of the tab. The tab being selected is displayed in a manner different from other tabs. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab 31 whose tab name is “user 1” is selected and the first tab 31 is displayed in a mode different from other tabs.

  In the standby screen 25, a tab screen corresponding to one of the first tab screen to the Nth tab screen corresponding to all Nt tabs from the first tab to the Nt tab is selected. Is displayed. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab screen 50 associated with the first tab 31 in the selected state is displayed.

  Each tab screen associated with each tab is a screen in which a plurality of icons are arranged. In the present embodiment, eight icons are arranged on one tab screen. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, on the first tab screen 50, the first icon 51 to the eighth icon 58 are arranged. The specific type of each icon can be changed as described later.

  Specific processing is associated with each icon arranged on each tab screen. When one of the icons is tapped by the user, a specific process associated with the icon is executed.

  The icons that can be arranged on the tab screen of the standby screen 25 are roughly classified into three types of icons. Specifically, there are function icons, setting icons, and unregistered icons. The function icon is an icon in which a function to be executed is registered for executing any of the prescribed functions of the image processing apparatus 10. That is, the function icon is associated with specific processing for realizing the registered function. Then, when the function icon is tapped, the registered function is realized by executing the associated specific process.

  The setting icon is an icon in which, for setting various setting items, a specific item to be set or a list of a plurality of items is registered. That is, the setting icon is associated with specific processing for setting various setting items. Then, when the setting icon is tapped, setting of various setting items is realized by executing the associated specific process.

  The unregistered icon is an icon in which no function, setting item or the like is registered, and an icon which allows the user to newly register an arbitrary function icon or a setting icon. That is, the unregistered icon is associated with a specific process involving an input operation of the user for newly registering a function icon of an arbitrary function or an icon for setting of an arbitrary setting item. Then, when an unregistered icon is tapped, a specific process associated with the unregistered icon is executed, whereby new registration as a functional icon or a setting icon is realized.

  The function icons are further classified into two types of a prescribed function icon and a shortcut icon. The prescribed function icon is an execution target for executing any one of a plurality of prescribed functions such as a scan function, a print function, a copy function, a fax function, a web service function, and a convenient tool function that the image processing apparatus 10 has. It is an icon with which the prescribed function of is registered. The various setting values registered in the prescribed function icon are predetermined default values. However, the user can confirm and change the default value when tapping the prescribed function icon to execute the corresponding function.

In the shortcut icon, a shortcut function is registered which causes any one of the prescribed functions to be executed under a specific execution condition set in advance by the user.
At least one of the defined function icon and the setting icon may be pre-arranged at least one on at least one tab screen when the image processing apparatus 10 is shipped.

  The shortcut icon is basically not an icon arranged in advance from the time of shipment of the image processing apparatus 10, and the user performs an arbitrary registration operation on the unregistered icon to replace the unregistered icon. It is an icon to be arranged. However, at the time of shipment of the image processing apparatus 10, at least one shortcut icon may be arranged in advance on at least one tab screen.

  While the default value of each setting value is determined in advance for the default function icon, the user is allowed to execute the function to be executed and what setting value the function should be executed for the shortcut icon. It can be set and registered arbitrarily.

  Note that for unregistered icons, any shortcut function can be registered and registered as a shortcut icon, and by registering any function, it can be registered as a prescribed function icon or by registering any setting item. It can also be registered as a setting icon.

  When an unregistered icon is registered as a function icon or a setting icon, a registered function icon or setting icon is arranged at the position where the unregistered icon is arranged, instead of the unregistered icon. .

  In the first tab screen 50 illustrated in FIG. 2, the first icon 51 is a prescribed function icon of the fax function, the second icon 52 is a prescribed function icon of the copy function, and the fifth icon 55 is a setting icon. The eighth icon 58 is a shortcut icon for the scan function. The third icon 53, the fourth icon 54, the sixth icon 56, and the seventh icon 57 are unregistered icons.

  The left button 26 and the right button 27 are displayed in the vicinity of both ends of the area where the tab is displayed on the standby screen 25. The arrangement order of the Nt tabs in the left-right direction is predetermined. If another tab is arranged on the left side of the four currently displayed tabs, tapping the left button 26 scrolls the tab to be displayed to the right to display the currently displayed four. It is possible to display tabs arranged on the left side of one tab. Conversely, when other tabs are arranged on the right side of the currently displayed four tabs, tapping the right button 27 causes the currently displayed tab to be scrolled to the left. The tabs arranged to the right of the four tabs can be displayed.

  When it is desired to switch from the tab screen of the currently selected tab to the tab screen of another tab, for example, the tab of the switching destination may be tapped. When a tab other than the currently selected tab is tapped, the tapped tab is selected, and the standby screen 25 displays a tab screen corresponding to the newly selected tab.

  For example, as shown in the upper left of FIG. 3, it is assumed that the first tab screen 50 corresponding to the first tab 31 is displayed on the standby screen 25. From this state, for example, when the second tab 32 whose tab name is "user 2" is tapped, the tab in the selected state is switched from the first tab 31 to the second tab 32 as shown in the upper right of FIG. A second tab screen 60 corresponding to the second tab 32 of is displayed.

  Also on the second tab screen 60, eight icons of the first icon 61 to the eighth icon 68 are displayed. In the second tab screen 60, the first icon 61 is a shortcut icon for the copy function, and the second icon 62 is a shortcut icon for the fax function. The third icon 63 to the eighth icon 68 are unregistered icons.

  From the state where the second tab screen 60 corresponding to the second tab 32 is displayed, for example, when the fourth tab 34 whose tab name is "user 1_1" is tapped, as shown in the lower part of FIG. Switches from the second tab 32 to the fourth tab 34, and the fourth tab screen 70 corresponding to the fourth tab 34 after the switching is displayed.

Also on the fourth tab screen 70, eight icons of the first icon 71 to the eighth icon 78 are displayed. In the fourth tab screen 70, the first icon 71 is a prescribed function icon for the fax function, the second icon 72 is a prescribed function icon for the copy function, and the fifth icon 75 is a shortcut icon for the fax function. The icon 76 and the eighth icon 78 are shortcut icons for the copy function. Third icon 73, fourth icon 74
The seventh icon 77 is an unregistered icon.

(4) Description of Area Set in Tab Screen As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, at least an individual area 42 is set in each tab screen. Furthermore, a common area 41 different from the individual area 42 can be set for each tab screen.

  The user can enable or disable the setting of the common area 41 for each tab screen. The tab screen in which the common area 41 is effectively set is the screen in which the common area 41 is set and the common area 41 and the individual area 42 coexist. In the tab screen in which the common area 41 is set to be invalid, the common area 41 is not set, and the entire tab screen, that is, the entire icon arrangement area in which the icons are arranged becomes the individual area 42.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the common area 41 is set to be valid for the first tab screen 50 and the fourth tab screen 70, and the common area 41 is set to be invalid for the second tab screen 60.
In the present embodiment, in the tab screen in which the common area 41 is set, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper half area in which the first to fourth icons are arranged among the eight icons is the common area 41. The lower half of the area where the fifth to eighth icons are arranged is set as the individual area 42.

  In the following description, a tab screen in which the common area 41 is set will be referred to as a "common tab screen", and a tab of a tab screen in which the common area is set may be referred to as a "common tab". is there.

  The icons arranged in the common area 41 are all made the same on each common tab screen. That is, as shown in the first tab screen 50 and the fourth tab screen 70 of FIG. 3, the icons arranged in the common area 41 are the same regardless of which tab screen is displayed by switching the tab. It is.

  In the present embodiment, when a function icon or setting icon is newly registered in the common area 41 in the tab screen while any one of the common tab screens is displayed, the icon is the tab screen currently displayed. In addition to being arranged at the same position, the same position in the common area 41 of each other common tab screen is also arranged.

  In addition, when any of the common tab screens is displayed, if any of the icons arranged in the common area 41 in the tab screen is deleted, the icon is deleted from the currently displayed tab screen. In addition to the above, the same icons arranged at the same position in the common area 41 of the other common tab screens are respectively deleted.

  Also, when any common tab screen is displayed, when an editing operation is performed on any of the icons arranged in the common area 41 in the tab screen, the registered content for the icon corresponds to the editing operation. In addition to being changed, the registered contents for the same icon arranged at the same position in the common area 41 of each other common tab screen are also changed in the same manner.

  In other words, each operation content such as registration, edit, move, delete, etc. for the icon in the common area 41 in the common tab screen is the same position not only in the currently displayed common tab screen but in all other common tab screens. The same applies to icons. As a result, the icons arranged in the common area 41 in each common tab screen all have the same content.

For example, in a state where the standby editing screen 80 shown on the left side of FIG. 4A is displayed, ie, a state where the first tab screen 50 is displayed, the third icon which is an unregistered icon in the common area 41 Suppose that the specified function icon of the scan function is registered. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4B, in addition to the specified function icon of the scan function being registered in the third icon in the currently displayed first tab screen 50, the fourth tab screen 70 is included. The defined function icon of the same scan function is also registered in the third icon at the same position in the common area 41 in each of the other common tab screens.

  On the other hand, when each operation such as registration, deletion, or editing of an icon is performed in the individual area 42 in the tab screen, the operation content is reflected only on the target icon in the tab screen currently displayed. It is not reflected on other tab screens.

(5) Description of Management Function As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a manager button 28 is displayed on the standby screen 25. When the administrator button 28 is tapped, an authentication screen for administrator authentication is displayed. When a predetermined input operation for authentication such as password input is performed on the authentication screen, authentication processing is performed. As a result of the authentication process, when the authentication condition is satisfied, the operation mode becomes the administrator mode, and the standby editing screen 80 as shown in FIG. 4A is displayed on the display unit 13.

  The standby editing screen 80 may perform new registration of an icon, deletion of an icon, editing of registered contents of an icon, movement of an icon, replacement of positions with other icons, setting of enabling or disabling of a common area 41, and the like. It is a possible screen. The deletion of an icon means that the specific processing registered in the icon is canceled to make the icon an unregistered icon.

  On the standby editing screen 80, as shown in FIG. 4A, a plurality of tabs and a tab screen corresponding to the tab in a selected state are displayed as in the standby screen 25. The contents of the plurality of tabs and tab screens displayed on the standby editing screen 80 are basically the same as the standby screen 25. Further, the content of the tab screen can be switched by switching the selection state of the tab as well as the standby screen 25.

  In addition, on the standby editing screen 80, various editing buttons for moving an icon, replacing positions with other icons, deleting an icon, and the like are arranged. As a result of various edits being performed via these edit buttons, when a change occurs in the icons in the common area 41, the change is similarly reflected in each common area 41 of each other common tab screen.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the standby editing screen 80 displays the above-mentioned common area setting on button 85 and common area setting off button 84 for enabling or disabling the setting of the common area 41. Be done. The user can arbitrarily switch the setting of the common area 41 to either valid or invalid by operating the buttons 84 and 85. That is, when the common area setting on button 85 is tapped, the setting of the common area 41 is validated. On the other hand, when the common area setting off button 84 is tapped, the setting of the common area 41 is invalidated.

(6) Operation at the time of invalidation switching of the common area setting When the setting of the common area 41 is switched from valid to invalid by operation of the common area setting off button 84 in a certain tab screen, setting of the common area 41 of the tab screen Is invalidated, and the tab screen is a screen in which the common area 41 does not exist, that is, the entire icon arrangement area becomes the screen of the individual area 42.

In this case, as described later, the user can select what to do with the icon originally arranged in the common area 41.
Further, the icons arranged in the individual area 42 of the tab screen are arranged together with the icons arranged in the individual area 42 of the other common tab screen in one tab screen (hereinafter, “individual icon summary Function (also referred to as “function”).

In the present embodiment, the individual icon grouping function is realized by the control unit 11 executing the screen editing process of FIGS. 5 and 6.
The screen editing process of FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9 as appropriate. In the screen editing process shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the setting of the common area 41 is particularly switched to valid or invalid from management control processes (not shown) executed when the operation mode is set to the administrator mode. Is an excerpt of the process to be executed when the

  When the operation mode is switched to the administrator mode, the control unit 11 starts the screen editing process of FIGS. 5 and 6. When the screen editing process is started, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 13 to display the standby editing screen 80 in S110.

  Here, assuming that the standby editing screen 80 shown in FIG. 7A, for example, is displayed on the display unit 13, the following description will be continued. FIG. 7A shows an example in which the first tab screen 50 with the tab name “user 1” is displayed in the same state as FIG. 4B and the setting of the common area 41 is enabled. ing.

  In FIG. 7A, an image imitating a human right hand displayed near the common area setting off button 84 is not an image included in the standby editing screen 80, but the user's operation on the standby editing screen 80. It is an auxiliary image added to specify the position.

  In S120, it is determined whether the setting of the common area 41 has been switched by the common area setting on button 85 or the common area setting off button 84. If the setting of the common area 41 is not switched, the process returns to S110. When the setting of the common area 41 is switched from valid to invalid or invalid to valid, the process proceeds to S130.

  In S130, it is determined whether the setting of the common area 41 has been switched to invalidation. If the setting of the common area 41 is not switched to invalid, that is, if the setting is switched from invalid to valid, the process proceeds to S320.

  In S320, common area setting processing is performed. Specifically, a process of setting the common area 41 is performed on the tab screen currently displayed. When the common area 41 is set, the same icon as the icon in the common area 41 of the other common tab screen is arranged in the common area 41. After the process of S320, the process returns to S110.

  If the setting of the common area 41 is switched to be invalid at S130, the first inquiry screen 90 (see FIG. 7B) is displayed on the display unit 13 at S140. For example, in FIG. 7A, when the common area setting off button 84 is tapped by the user, a first inquiry screen 90 shown in FIG. 7B is displayed.

  The first inquiry screen 90 determines whether or not the individual icon grouping function is used, that is, the icon in the individual area 42 of the tab screen in which the setting of the common area 41 is invalidated is an individual of any other common tab screen This is a screen for asking the user whether or not to arrange the icons in the area 42 collectively on the same one tab screen.

In S150, in response to the user operation on the first inquiry screen 90, it is determined whether to use the individual icon grouping function. If the “No” button 92 in the first inquiry screen 90 is tapped, it is determined that the individual icon grouping function is not used, and the process proceeds to S330. In S330, a common area cancellation process of the currently displayed common tab screen is performed. Specifically, the setting of the common area 41 in the currently displayed common tab screen is invalidated.

  When the “Yes” button 91 on the first inquiry screen 90 is tapped in S150, it is determined that the individual icon grouping function is to be used, and the process proceeds to S160. At S160, the grouping source setting screen 95 (see FIG. 7C) is displayed. The grouping source setting screen 95 is a screen for allowing the user to select two common tab screens in which the icons in the individual area 42 are to be combined into one same tab screen.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the tab screen is displayed on the grouping source setting screen 95 as in the standby editing screen 80. Further, the tabs displayed on the grouping source setting screen 95 are narrowed down to the tabs of the common tab screen in which the common area 41 is set. FIG. 7C shows another tab screen tab 35 in which the common area 41 is set by deleting the tabs of “user 2” and “user 3” in which the common area 41 is not set from the tab arrangement, 36 shows an arrayed state.

  Furthermore, in the grouping source setting screen 95, a first setting field 96, a second setting field 97, a placement replacement button 98, and an OK button 99 are displayed in the upper part of the tab screen.
