JP5733078B2 - Image reading apparatus and image processing system - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an image reading apparatus that generates scan data, and more particularly to an image reading apparatus that can upload scan data to another information processing apparatus and an image processing system using the image reading apparatus.

  Conventionally, scan data generated by reading a document with a scanner is transmitted to a specific folder of a specific PC via a LAN. Specifically, during a scanning operation, a plurality of folder names are displayed on the operation display screen of the MFP. The user selects a folder and performs a scanning operation. As a result, the user can browse the scan data by accessing a specific folder from the PC.

  In recent years, scan data is stored in an external public server so that the scan data can be accessed via the Internet, a LAN, a mobile network, or the like. In this case, the external public server is displayed as an upload destination on the operation display unit of the MFP (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2005-149320

  In the system described in Patent Document 1, when a user performs a scan setting operation on the MFP device 10, a scan is executed. The generated scan data is converted into a desired format by the server unit of the MFP device 10. Subsequently, the converted scan data is uploaded to the electronic warehouse server 20.

In the system as described above, since the server API differs for each server manufacturer, it is necessary to change the network process and the data format process each time the server type changes. Specifically, it is necessary to rewrite the firmware of the MFP. However, rewriting the firmware of the MFP every time the server is changed is a complicated task.
Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, for example, it is assumed that resident software software is installed in a PC and scan data is uploaded to an external public server by the resident software.

  In this case, it is desirable to improve user operability during the scan / upload operation.

  An object of the present invention is to improve the operability of scanning and uploading when uploading scan data to a server by resident software.

  Hereinafter, a plurality of modes will be described as means for solving the problems. These aspects can be arbitrarily combined as necessary.

An image reading apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention is an image reading apparatus that generates image data in a system in which resident software uploads image data to a server while the resident software logs in to the server. The image forming apparatus includes a network communication unit, a scan unit, an operation unit, a display unit, and a display control unit. The network communication unit communicates with the resident software. The scanning unit reads an original and generates image data. The operation unit can operate the scan unit. The display unit can display a scan function setting screen. The display control unit can change the scan function setting screen on the display unit according to the login status of the resident software to the server notified from the resident software via the network communication unit.
In this apparatus, the resident software notifies the network communication unit of the login status. As a result, the display control unit changes the scan function setting screen on the display unit. The user can perform an appropriate scan operation by referring to the scan function setting screen. For example, when the resident software is logged in to the server, the server can be selected as the upload destination of the image data. In this way, the operability of scanning and uploading is improved.

When the resident software is logged in to the server, the display control unit may display server information as an upload destination on the display unit.
In this case, since the server information is displayed on the display unit, the user knows that the resident software is logged into the server.

When the resident software is not logged in to the server, the display control unit does not have to display server information as an upload destination on the display unit.
In this case, since the server information is not displayed on the display unit, the user knows that the resident software has not logged into the server.

The network communication unit may transmit one page of image data to the resident software every time the scanning unit scans one page of the image.
In this case, it is not necessary to use a large-capacity storage device for the image reading apparatus.

  An image processing system according to another apparatus of the present invention includes the above-described image reading apparatus and resident software. The resident software has a login status notification unit that notifies the image reading device of the login status to the server.

  The image processing system may further include an information processing apparatus in which resident software is installed.

  In the image reading apparatus and the image processing system according to the present invention, when the image data is uploaded to the server by the resident software, the operability of scanning and uploading is improved.

(See FIGS. 9 and 10). The setting at the time of scanning can include, for example, designation of a scanning method as a scanning attribute in addition to color / monochrome designation, resolution, output magnification, and the like. Further, the MFP 5 has a “scan to folder function” for transferring image data obtained by scanning to a folder, and an arbitrary folder can be designated as a transfer destination.

The resident software 51 can be updated as appropriate by downloading. A plurality of resident software may be installed in the PC.

  The storage unit 43 includes a plurality of local shared folders 61 that receive and store image data transferred from the MFP 5. The local shared folder 61 is shared by the MFP 5. The folder 61 has a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of virtual storage areas 73, for example. The local shared folder 61 may have a hierarchical structure, and may include a plurality of folders corresponding to the virtual storage area 73 under an arbitrary folder designated as a transfer destination by the user.

(5) Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, the resident software 51 of the PC acquires image data by “HTTP GET”. In the second embodiment described below, the MFP transmits scan data to a local shared folder of the PC. The resident software 51 monitors the shared folder, and if there is new data storage, acquires it.
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of an image processing system as an embodiment of the present invention.

Scan processing by the MFP will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12C. In the following description, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same blocks as those in FIGS. 7A to 7C, and description thereof is omitted.
In this embodiment, steps S50 to S52 in FIG. 7B are omitted.
Further, step S101 and step S102 are used instead of step S54 and step S55 in FIG. 7C. In step S101 and step S102, external public server information is transmitted to the PC using SMB.
Further, in this embodiment, step S103 is used instead of step S61 and step S62 in FIG. 7C, and step S104 is used instead of step S63 and step S64 in FIG. 7C. In step S103, one page of image data is transmitted to the PC using an SMB (Server Message Block) (R11 in FIG. 11). At this time, the image data is directly transmitted to the local shared folder 61 in the PC 7. In step S104, a scan data end response is transmitted to the PC 7 using SMB. That is, unlike the above-described embodiment, the MFP 5 transmits image data and scan data end to the PC 7 without waiting for a scan data transfer request from the PC 7.

Transfer processing to an external public server by the resident software 51 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A and 13B. In the following description, blocks similar to those in FIGS. 8A to 8B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
Further, in this embodiment, steps S111 to S113 are used instead of steps S67 to S71 in FIG. 8A.
In step S111, it waits to receive data (external public server information) by the first SMB from the MFP.
In step S112, "external public server name", "external public server storage file format", and "local supply folder storage file format" are stored.
In step S113, the next SMB data is received from the MFP. In step S73, it is determined whether a scan data end response has been received.
