[scan task is carried out and is processed (MFP)]
Below, with reference to the flowchart text of Fig. 6, in order to realize the action of scan task of aforesaid first method, the scan task that MFP200 carries out is carried out and is processed.Can carry out the equipment of NFC communication and then be judged as the request with scan task as opportunity according to the mission bit stream sending from mobile device 100 by NFC interface 37 to detect, carry out scan task by CPU31 and carry out processing.In addition, in the following description, the equipment detecting is made as to mobile device 100.
Carry out in processing in scan task, first calculate prediction stand-by time (S151).For example, for example, for example, in the disposal ability (reading speed) of calculating prediction and can utilize when stand-by time the setting content of for example scanning (resolution, image quality, read size, colored setting), read method (flat board reads or ADF reads), remaining original copy number of pages, image reading unit 11.After S151, send and switch connection response (S152) to mobile device 100 by NFC interface 37.The result of calculation that is attached with S151 in this switching connection response predict stand-by time and the link information using in the communicating by letter of WFD mode.
After S152, judge whether scanning starts (S153).In the situation that scanning does not start (S153: no), wait for the input of carrying out instruction from user's scanning, start scanning (S154).In addition, in the situation that scanning does not start, also can represent to start in notices such as guidance panels 40 message of scanning.In addition, at S154, also the condition that is provided as of original copy can be started automatically to scanning.
After S154 or the in the situation that scanning has started (S153: be), judge whether to connect and confirm (S161) from the WFD of mobile device 100.In the situation that not receiving WFD connection confirmation (S161: no), standby connects confirmation until receive WFD.Connect (S161: be) confirm in the situation that receiving WFD, and between mobile device 100, set up the radio communication (S162) of WFD mode., realize the switching from NFC mode to WFD mode.
After S162, judge whether send request (S163) of view data.In the case of not having the sending request of view data (S163: no), standby is until receive sending request of view data.In the case of having the sending request of view data (S163: be), judge whether scanning completes (S164).
In scanning do not complete in the situation that (S164: no), judge the whether deficiency (S171) of free memory capacity of MFP200.At S171, also can judge the free memory capacity of RAM33 self, can also judge the free memory capacity of the specific region of guaranteeing for the storage of view data in RAM33.The in the situation that of free memory capacity deficiency (S171: be), enter the transmission of the view data that S165 starts to have generated, to guarantee memory capacity.
The in the situation that of free memory capacity abundance (S171: no), again calculate prediction stand-by time (S173).And, to do not complete (S174) of mobile device 100 responding scannings.This S174 do not complete response in be attached to the prediction stand-by time that S173 calculates.After S174, wait for from the cut-out of mobile device 100 and confirming, cut off the radio communication (S175) of the WFD mode of setting up between mobile device 100, enter S161.And standby connects confirmation until receive WFD.
On the other hand, in the completed situation of scanning (S164: be), start to send view data (S165) to mobile device 100.Then, judge whether the transmission (S166) of the view data that completes total page number.In the case of the transmission of view data that does not complete total page number (S166: no), wait for until complete the transmission of the view data of total page number.In the case of the transmission of view data that completes total page number (S166: be), notice mobile device 100 is sent completely (S167).
After S167, wait for from the cut-out of mobile device 100 and confirming, cut off the radio communication (S168) of the WFD mode of setting up between mobile device 100.After S168, finish scan task and carry out processing.
As previously described, in the action of the scan task of first method, receive after switching connection response and do not carry out and switch at once at mobile device 100, but wait for and be predicted to be the process of the prediction stand-by time having scanned, then set up the radio communication of WFD mode.Therefore, can reduce the state of invalidly setting up the radio communication of WFD mode in during scanning completes.
In addition, in the time setting up the radio communication of WFD mode, do not complete in the situation that, cut off the radio communication of WFD mode in scanning, the process of stand-by time to be predicted such as again.Thus, can further shorten the state that the radio communication of WFD mode is invalidly connected.
In addition, in first method, MFP200 calculates prediction stand-by time, but also can be calculated by mobile device 100.In this case, information from MFP200 to mobile device 100 transmission processing abilities that also can be from.In addition, in the situation that starting scanning, also can send read method (for example flat board reads or ADF reads) and remaining original copy number of pages.
In addition, in first method, at S151 and S173, MFP200 calculates prediction stand-by time, but also can be made as predetermined stand-by time.In this case, can be both that mobile device 100 has this predetermined stand-by time, can be also MFP200 has this predetermined stand-by time.In the situation that mobile device 100 has stand-by time, do not need to transmit stand-by time.In addition, in the case of being made as predetermined stand-by time, also can make for the new stand-by time that does not complete response (stand-by time from for the second time), than short in the stand-by time (primary stand-by time) that receives standby for the first time after switching connection response.That is, preferably the standby from for the second time is shortened to stand-by time, to increase the possibility that scanning has approached.Also primary stand-by time can be made as to prediction stand-by time, the stand-by time from for the second time is owing to being to finely tune to be therefore also made as predetermined stand-by time.
In addition, in first method, in switching connection response, be attached with without exception prediction stand-by time, but also can carry out response prediction stand-by time according to for example whether having started scanning in the moment that receives switching connection request, or determine whether to respond predetermined stand-by time.,, if scanning does not start, produce the wait of user's input scan being carried out to instruction.Therefore, cause predicting the precise decreasing of stand-by time.Therefore, can be also, if scanning starts, calculate prediction stand-by time and send prediction stand-by time, if scanning does not start, send predetermined stand-by time.
In addition, at S164, judge whether scanning completes, whether has the view data of total page number amount, but can be also to judge whether to have the view data of one page amount at least, whether there is both quantitatively above view data.In this case, also can be, after the transmission that completes view data, judge whether to send the view data of total page number amount, if do not send the view data of total page number amount, cut off the radio communication of WFD mode, and again standby until both there is quantitatively above view data or the scanning of total page number amount completes.
Below, about group, the owner is the second method of mobile device 100, describes with reference to the sequential chart of Fig. 7.First, with first method in the same manner, be registered under the state in mobile device 100 in scan task, user is placed into this mobile device 100 the NFC reading part 43 of MFP200.
If can carry out the radio communication based on NFC mode between mobile device 100 and MFP200, send mission bit stream from mobile device 100 to MFP200.In addition, in the time can carrying out the radio communication based on NFC mode, send from mobile device 100 to MFP200 and switch connection request.In this switching connection request, being attached with the needed information of radio communication of setting up WFD mode is link information.This point is different from the first method that sends link information from MFP200.MFP200, when receive switching connection request from mobile device 100, sends and switches connection response to mobile device 100.
In addition, MFP200, according to the operation to guidance panel 40, accepts scanning and carries out the input of indicating.Having accepted after the input of scanning execution instruction, start the scanning of original copy at image reading unit 11.The input of scanning execution instruction can be carried out before holding movable equipment 100, also can after placing, carry out.
MFP200, after scanning completes, asks the connection of WFD mode to mobile device 100, and utilizes link information and mobile device 100 to set up the radio communication based on WFD mode.After the radio communication of setting up based on WFD mode, start the transmission of view data.After the transmission that completes view data, the radio communication of the WFD mode of cut-out and mobile device 100.Thus, a series of actions of scan task finishes.
Below, with reference to the flowchart text of Fig. 8 in order to realize the action of scan task of aforesaid second method, the scan request processing that mobile device 100 is carried out.In addition, in Fig. 8, mark identical label to processing identical processing with the scan request of the first method of Fig. 5.
In scan request is processed, first show the message (S101) that mobile device 100 is placed into the NFC reading part 43 of MFP200.After S101, judge as the MFP200 of the transmission target of scan task whether be detected (S102).During MFP200 is not detected (S102: no), standby until MFP200 be detected.In the time that MFP200 is detected (S102: be), send mission bit stream (S103) by NFC interface 57 to MFP200.
In addition, send from mobile device 100 to MFP200 and switch connection request (S204).After S204, receive and switch connection response (S205) from MFP200.In second method, because mobile device 100 is group owners, thereby be attached with link information in the switching connection request of S204, additional link information in switching connection response.In addition, in the stage of S205, if mobile device 100 does not start as the possessory processing of group, the possessory processing as group is started.
After S205, judge whether that the WFD having from MFP200 connects confirmation (S211).In the situation that not receiving WFD connection confirmation (S211: no), standby is until receive.Connect (S211: be) confirm in the situation that receiving WFD, and between MFP200, set up the radio communication (S212) of WFD mode.
After S212, receive view data (S114) from MFP200.And, by applying the received view data of 20 demonstrations (S115).After S115, wait for from the cut-out of MFP200 and confirming, cut off the radio communication (S218) of the WFD mode in setting up between MFP200.Now, when started as the possessory processing of group at S205 in the situation that, make to finish this processing.After S218, finish scan request processing.
Below, with reference to the flowchart text of Fig. 9, in order to realize the action of scan task of aforesaid second method, the scan task that MFP200 carries out is carried out and is processed.In addition, in Fig. 9 to carrying out and process identical processing and mark identical label with the scan task of the first method of Fig. 6.
Carry out in processing in scan task, first send and switch connection response (S252) to mobile device 100 by NFC interface 37.In second method, because mobile device 100 is group owners, thereby in switching connection response, add link information.On the other hand, owing to being attached with link information in switching connection request, thereby in the time starting scan task execution processing, MFP200 has obtained link information.
After S252, judge whether scanning starts (S153).In the situation that scanning does not start (S153: no), wait for the input of carrying out instruction from user's scanning, and start scanning (S154).After S154 or the in the situation that scanning has started (S153: be), judge whether scanning completes (S164).
In scanning do not complete in the situation that (S164: no), judge the whether deficiency (S171) of free memory capacity of MFP200.The in the situation that of free memory capacity abundance, (S171: no), enters S164, waits to be scanned completing.
In the completed situation of scanning, (S164: be) or free memory capacity deficiency in the situation that (S171: be), utilize the radio communication (S262) of setting up WFD mode between link information and mobile device 100.And, start to send view data (S165) to mobile device 100.
Then, judge whether the transmission (S166) of the view data that completes total page number.In the case of the transmission of view data that does not complete total page number (S166: no), wait for until be sent completely.On the other hand, in the case of the transmission of view data that completes total page number (S166: be), send to cut off to mobile device 100 and confirm, cut off the radio communication (S267) of WFD mode.
After S267, judge that scanning is whether in continuation (S269).When in S171 free memory capacity deficiency in the situation that, before completing, scanning starts the transmission of view data.Therefore, in the situation that scanning is also in continuation (S269: be), enter S164, wait to be scanned completing.On the other hand, if scanning, not in continuation (S269: no), owing to completing the transmission of view data of total page number amount, thereby finishes scan task and carries out and process.
As previously described, in the action of the scan task of second method, before scanning completes or when free memory capacity is not enough, do not carry out switching, but etc. to be scanned complete etc., then set up the radio communication of WFD mode.Therefore,, with set up the first method of radio communication of WFD mode according to stand-by time compared with, can reduce more accurately the state of invalidly setting up the radio communication of WFD mode in during scanning completes.
In addition, in second method, will complete by the end of scanning or the time of free memory capacity deficiency is made as stand-by time, but also can be made as predetermined stand-by time.In this case, can be both that mobile device 100 has this predetermined stand-by time, can be also MFP200 has this predetermined stand-by time.After receiving switching connection response with mobile device 100, carry out compared with situation about switching at once, even be made as predetermined stand-by time, also can reduce the state of the radio communication of invalidly setting up WFD mode.
In addition, in second method, to have scanned or free memory capacity deficiency is set up the radio communication of WFD mode as opportunity, but can be also the radio communication that is set to opportunity and sets up WFD mode that for example starts the input of instruction or original copy with scanning.In these cases, at least start can avoid useless connection before the input of instruction or the arranging of original copy in scanning.
In addition, at S164, judge whether scanning completes, whether has the view data of total page number amount, but can be also to judge whether to have the view data of one page amount at least, whether there is both quantitatively above view data.

[print out task is carried out and is processed (MFP)]
Below, with reference to the flowchart text of Figure 15, in order to realize the action of aforesaid print out task, the print out task that MFP200 carries out is carried out and is processed.Can carry out the equipment of NFC communication and then be judged as the request with print out task as opportunity according to the mission bit stream being comprised the switching connection request sending from mobile device 100 by NFC interface 37 to detect, carry out print out task by CPU31 and carry out processing.In addition, in the following description, the equipment detecting is made as to mobile device 100.
Carry out in processing at print out task, first obtain the fault message (S351) producing at MFP200 self.And, the fault message of obtaining at S351 is sent to mobile device 100(S352 by NFC interface 37).
And, judge whether to print (S353) according to the fault message of obtaining at S351.If can print (S353: be), carry out the MFP owner print out task that MFP200 is carried out to printing as the group owner and carry out processing (S354).
On the other hand, if can not print (S353: no), show at guidance panel 40 message (S361) that expression is broken down.In this message, also can show countermeasure according to fault content.Then, judge whether it is the fault (S362) that can eliminate by user job.If the fault that can eliminate (S362: be) is carried out the mobile device owner print out task that mobile device 100 is carried out to printing as the group owner and is carried out processing (S363).If after S354 or after S363 or be not the fault (S362: no) that can eliminate, finish print out task and carry out and process.
At this, carry out and process about the MFP owner print out task of S354, describe with reference to the flow chart of Figure 16.MFP owner print out task is carried out the action of the MFP200 that processes the sequential chart based on shown in Figure 10.
Carry out in processing at MFP owner print out task, first receive and switch connection requests (S371) from mobile device 100.And, send and switch connection response (S372) to mobile device 100.Because MFP200 is the group owner, thereby be attached with link information in switching connection response.
After S372, judge whether that the WFD having from mobile device 100 connects confirmation (S381).In the situation that not receiving WFD connection confirmation (S381: no), standby is until receive.Connect (S381: be) confirm in the situation that receiving WFD, and between mobile device 100, set up the radio communication (S382) of WFD mode., realize the switching from NFC mode to WFD mode.
After S382, receive from mobile device 100 view data (S383) of printing use.And, make image forming part 10 start to print the view data (S384) of received printing use.Then, judge whether to complete the printing (S385) of total page number amount.In the situation that not completing printing, (S385: no), has waited for printing.
In the situation that completing printing (S385: be), notice mobile device 100 has been printed (S386).After S386, wait for from the cut-out of mobile device 100 and confirming, and cut off the radio communication (S387) of WFD mode.After S387, finish MFP owner print out task and carry out processing.
Below, carry out and process about the mobile device owner print out task of S363, describe with reference to the flow chart of Figure 17.Mobile device owner print out task is carried out the action of the MFP200 that processes the sequential chart based on shown in Figure 11.In addition, in Figure 17, mark identical label to carrying out the identical processing of processing with the MFP owner print out task of Figure 16.
Carry out in processing at mobile device owner print out task, first receive and switch connection requests (S471) from mobile device 100.Because MFP200 is the group owner, thereby be attached with the needed link information of radio communication of setting up WFD mode in switching connection request.After S471, send and switch connection response (S472) to mobile device 100.
After S472, whether failure judgement eliminates (S481).Be in the possessory situation of group at mobile device 100, owing to breaking down at MFP200, thereby confirm the elimination of this fault.In the situation that fault is not eliminated, (S481: no), waits the elimination of pending fault.
In the situation that fault is eliminated (S481: be), utilize the link information receiving at S471, and between mobile device 100, set up the radio communication (S482) of WFD mode.
After S482, receive from mobile device 100 view data (S383) of printing use.And, make image forming part 10 start to print the view data (S384) of received printing use.Then, judge whether to complete the printing (S385) of total page number amount.In the situation that not completing printing, (S385: no), has waited for printing.
In the situation that completing printing (S385: be), send to cut off to mobile device 100 and confirm, and cut off the radio communication (S487) of WFD mode.After S487, finish mobile device owner print out task and carry out processing.
As previously described, in the action of the print out task of Third Way, for example MFP200 is being made as in the possessory situation of group, after mobile device 100 receives switching connection response, do not carry out and switch at once, but waited for after the generation of the view data of printing use, then set up the radio communication of WFD mode.Therefore, can reduce the state of invalidly setting up the radio communication of WFD mode in during completing the generation of view data of printing use.In addition, for example, mobile device 100 being made as in the possessory situation of group, before fault is eliminated, do not carry out switching, but after the state of wait in printing, set up again the radio communication of WFD mode.Therefore, can reduce the state of invalidly setting up the radio communication of WFD mode during can not printing.
In addition, in Third Way, after having waited for the generation of view data or after Failure elimination, carry out and switch again, but also can wait for predetermined stand-by time.In this case, can be both that mobile device 100 has this predetermined stand-by time, can be also MFP200 has this predetermined stand-by time.
In addition, in Third Way, in the possessory situation of group at MFP200, set up the radio communication of WFD mode to complete the generation of view data or free memory capacity deficiency as opportunity, but can be also to organize possessory situation in the same manner with for example mobile device 100, printing the radio communication of setting up WFD mode as opportunity at image forming part 10.In this case, at least can avoid the useless connection in the time that can not print.
In addition, in Third Way, will break down and carry out the switch groups owner as condition at MFP200, but also can not switch.That is, both MFP200 can be fixed as to the possessory system of group, also mobile device 100 can be fixed as to the possessory system of group.
In addition, the view data that judges whether to complete the generation of view data, whether there is total page number amount at S331, but can be also to judge whether to have the view data of one page amount at least, whether there is both quantitatively above view data.In this case, also can be, after the transmission that completes view data, judge whether to send the view data of total page number amount, if do not send the view data of total page number amount, cut off the radio communication of WFD mode, and again standby until both there is quantitatively above view data or completed the generation of the view data of total page number amount.
In addition, in Third Way, print to opportunity and cut off the radio communication of WFD mode to complete, but can be also, for example with complete the last page number view data reception or be sent as opportunity and cut off the radio communication of WFD mode.
As described above in detail, in the image processing system 900 of execution mode, transmit after the link information that the connection of the radio communication (example of telecommunication) of setting up WFD mode uses in the radio communication by NFC mode (example of short-range communication), do not set up the radio communication of WFD mode at once, but (for example send condition to meet for the image of transmit image data, in first method middle finger process prediction stand-by time, completing of second method middle finger scanning, complete and print the generation of view data or the elimination of fault of use at Third Way middle finger) set up the radio communication of WFD mode for opportunity.Therefore, can expect in the stand-by time that can send as the view data of communication object, shorten the time that the radio communication of WFD mode is connected.Consequently, can expect the connect hours of the radio communication that shortens the useless WFD mode before the transmission that starts view data.
In addition, present embodiment is only example, not the present invention is formed to any restriction.Therefore, the present invention can carry out various improvement, distortion certainly in the scope that does not depart from its aim.For example, the information processor of incoming task is as long as carrying out radio communication and have the equipment of function of controlling image processing apparatus, and mobile device 100 also can adopt smart phone, panel computer etc.In addition, image processing apparatus, as long as having the equipment of image processing function, can be also photocopier, printer, scanner, the FAX device beyond MFP200.
In addition, in execution mode, short-range communication adopts NFC mode, and telecommunication adopts WFD mode, and carries out the switching from NFC mode to WFD mode, is not limited to this but realize the communication mode switching., as long as two kinds of different communication modes of communication distance, about other communication mode, for example, can be, also the indirectly connected WiFi that bluetooth (Bluetooth), sudden strain of a muscle pass (TransferJet), communicate via access point.
In addition, in execution mode, disclosed processing also can be carried out by the hardware such as a CPU, multiple CPU, ASIC or their assembly.And disclosed processing also can realize with the variety of way such as recording medium or method that has recorded the program for carrying out this processing in execution mode.
