detailed description

[0012] (i) A mobile communication terminal according to the present invention is a mobile communication terminal that transmits a control instruction for an electronic device and is characterized in that it includes: a terminal communication portion that communicates with the electronic device; a tilt detection portion, It detects the tilt of the body of the mobile communication terminal from a predetermined reference direction and its tilt direction; a terminal storage section saves the control command previously associated with the tilt direction; and a terminal control section controls the terminal A communication unit, the tilt detection unit, and the terminal storage unit; when the tilt detection unit detects that the main body is tilted from a predetermined reference direction, the terminal control unit causes the terminal communication unit to communicate with the terminal communication unit. The control command pre-associated with the tilt direction is sent to the electronic device. In addition, the electronic device according to the present invention is an electronic device that is controlled by receiving a control instruction from a mobile communication terminal and is characterized by including a device communication portion that is scheduled from the main body of the main body of the mobile communication terminal. When the reference direction is tilted, a control instruction associated with the tilt direction is previously received from the mobile communication terminal; and a device control section performs a predetermined process in accordance with the control instruction. In addition, the electronic device control method according to the present invention is an electronic device control method by a mobile communication terminal, characterized in that the mobile communication terminal starts communication for the communication after the electronic device starts communication when it approaches a predetermined range. The application of the electronic device is controlled by the inclination of the main body of the mobile communication terminal to notify the user of one or more tilt directions in which the main body should be tilted from the reference direction, and the main body faces the one or more tilt directions. In a case where one of the tilt directions is tilted, the mobile communication terminal transmits a control command for the electronic device that is associated with the tilt direction in advance to the electronic device. In addition, the electronic device control method according to the present invention is a control method of an electronic device controlled by receiving a control instruction from a mobile communication terminal, characterized in that the electronic device starts when the mobile communication terminal approaches a predetermined range. After the communication, an activation instruction for controlling an application of the electronic device through tilting of the main body is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal to notify the main body that the main body should be tilted in one or more directions from the reference direction. To the user; When the main body is tilted in one of the one or more tilt directions, a control command associated with the tilt direction is received from the mobile communication terminal, and predetermined processing is performed in accordance with the control command. . In the present invention, the "electronic device" is, for example, a copying machine or a multi-functional peripheral, or an MFP (Multifunctional Peripheral) that includes functions other than copying, a television, a DVD recorder, and a personal computer (PC). , electronic blackboards and other devices with communication capabilities. The “mobile communication terminal” is a mobile terminal having a communication function such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The “predetermined reference direction of the body of the mobile communication terminal” may be, for example, a horizontal direction or a vertical direction, or a direction along a predetermined inclined surface. The “pre-association with the tilt direction” refers to, for example, when the main body of the mobile communication terminal is tilted so that one of the vertical, horizontal, and right sides of the body is directed downward from the horizontal direction, a control command for the electronic device is associated with each tilt direction.

[0014] Further, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0015] (ii) It is also possible that the terminal communication section has a near field wireless communication function that starts communication when the electronic device approaches a predetermined range; the terminal storage section holds a tilt for passing the subject. An application of the electronic device is controlled; and the terminal control unit starts the application when the terminal communication unit starts communication with the electronic device.

[0016] In this way, as long as the mobile communication terminal is brought within the communication range of the NFC to the electronic device, the control application of the electronic device is automatically started, so that the following mobile communication terminal can be realized: it realizes intuitive and rapid control of the electronic equipment.

[0017] (iii) It may further include a terminal notification unit that causes the terminal notification unit to notify the main body of one or more tilt directions that the main body should tilt from the reference direction. When the tilt detection unit detects that the main body is tilted in one of the one or more tilt directions, the terminal communication unit causes the terminal communication unit to transmit the control command associated with the tilt direction in advance to the tilt direction. Electronic equipment.

[0018] In this way, since the user is notified of one or more tilt directions in which the main body of the mobile communication terminal should be tilted, it is possible to realize a mobile communication terminal having improved user convenience.

[0019] The “terminal notification unit” is a part that notifies the user of one or more directions in which the subject of the mobile communication terminal should be tilted, for example, by visual display or voice.

[0020] (iv) It is also possible that the inclination detection section further detects the inclination angle of the main body of the mobile communication terminal from the reference direction; the terminal control section detects the main body from the inclination detection section. When the reference direction is inclined by a predetermined first angle or more, the tilt direction is stored in the terminal storage section, and thereafter, the tilt detection section detects that the main body returns to a predetermined value smaller than the first angle. When the angle is within the second angle, the terminal communication unit causes the control command previously associated with the tilt direction to be transmitted to the electronic device.

[0021] In this way, when the communication state with the electronic device is deteriorated due to the inclination of the mobile communication terminal, data in the oblique direction is not transmitted and stored in the storage section, and thereafter, when the inclination of the mobile communication terminal returns to its original position. When the communication state with the electronic device is restored, the data stored in the oblique direction of the storage unit is transmitted to the electronic device, so that the control command can be stably transmitted to the electronic device.

[0022] The “predetermined first angle from the reference direction” is, for example, an inclination angle of a mobile communication terminal in which communication signal strength with an electronic device becomes weak or communication may be cut off. As an example of the first angle, for example, about 30°. The “predetermined second angle smaller than the first angle” is, for example, the tilt angle of the mobile communication terminal that the communication state with the electronic device becomes good or the communication resumes from the cut-off state. As an example of the second angle, for example, about 〇°.

[0023] (V) may also be that the electronic device is an image forming apparatus, and the control instruction includes an instruction related to image formation.

[0024] In this way, intuitive and rapid control of the image forming apparatus can be achieved through the mobile communication terminal.

(Vi) may be that the device communication section has a near field wireless communication function that starts communication when the mobile communication terminal approaches a predetermined range; and the device control section starts at the device communication section. When the mobile communication terminal communicates, the device communication unit causes the device communication unit to send an activation instruction for controlling an application of the electronic device through tilting of the main body to the mobile communication terminal.

[0026] In this way, since when the mobile communication terminal comes within the communication range of the NFC to the electronic device, the control application startup command of the electronic device is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal, so that an operation for starting the application is not required, and Electronic devices that improve user convenience are realized.

[0027] (vii) may further include a device notification section that causes the device notification section to notify the main body of the mobile communication terminal that one or more tilt directions should be tilted from the reference direction. When the main body is tilted in one of the one or more tilt directions, the control command previously associated with the tilt direction is received from the mobile communication terminal.

[0028] In this way, since the device notification unit notifies the user of one or more tilt directions in which the main body of the mobile communication terminal should be tilted, it is possible to realize an electronic device with improved user convenience.

[0029] The "device notification unit" is for example a part that notifies the user of one or more directions in which the main body of the mobile communication terminal should be tilted by visual display, voice or the like.

[0030] (viii) It is also possible that the electronic device is an image forming apparatus, and the control instruction includes an instruction related to image formation.

[0031] In this way, intuitive and rapid control of the image forming apparatus can be achieved through the mobile communication terminal.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below using the drawings. In addition, the following description is an illustration in all aspects and should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention.

In this case, the direction parallel to the proximity communication unit 190 serves as a reference of the inclination angle of the mobile communication terminal 2 .

[0083] <Outline of Control of Multifunction Device 1 According to Embodiment 1 of the Present Invention> Next, an outline of the control of the multifunction machine 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 10 .

(A) of FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2 seen from the direction of arrow AA in FIG. 9, and (8) of FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the mobile communication terminal seen from the direction of arrow BB in FIG. 9. An illustration of the tilted example of 2.

[0085] In addition, dotted arrows in FIG. 7 represent associated steps in the flowchart of FIG. For example, the process of step S12 of FIG. 7 is related to the process of step S22 of FIG. 8 . In addition, there is a relationship in which the process of step S23 of FIG. 8 is performed and the process of step S13 of FIG. 7 is performed. In addition, there is a relationship in which the process of step S18 of FIG. 7 is performed and the process of step S24 of FIG. 8 is performed.

<PROCESSFLOWOFMOBILECOMMUNICATIONTERMINAL2OFTHEPRESENTINVENTION> Next, the processing flow of the mobile communication terminal 2 of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 7 .

In step S11 of FIG. 7, the control unit 200 of the mobile communication terminal 2 determines whether or not the proximity communication unit 290 has detected the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (step S11).

When the proximity communication unit 290 detects the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (when the determination of step S11 is YES), in step S12, the control unit 200 causes the proximity communication unit 290 to start. Communication with the proximity communication unit 190 of the complex machine 1 . (Step Sl 2).

On the other hand, when the proximity communication unit 290 does not detect the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (in a case where the determination of step S11 is NO), the control unit 200 repeats the step S11. Judgment (step S11).

Next, in step S13, the control unit 200 determines whether the proximity communication unit 290 has received the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (step S13).

When the proximity communication unit 290 receives the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (in the case of the determination of step S13 is YES), in step S14, the control is performed. The part 200 activates an application dedicated to the digital multi-function peripheral 1 based on the received tag information (step S14).

[0090] The tag information preliminarily describes data to automatically start an application corresponding to the multifunction peripheral 1 when the mobile communication terminal 2 receives the tag information.

[0093] In this way, as long as the mobile communication terminal 2 is brought close to different types of electronic devices such as a multi-functional peripheral and a television set, the corresponding application program is automatically activated, thereby improving the convenience of the user.

On the other hand, if the proximity communication unit 290 has not received the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (in the case of a determination of NO at step S13), The control unit 200 repeats the determination in step S13 (step S13).

[0095] Next, in step S15, the control unit 200 determines whether or not the tilt detection unit 201 has detected the tilt of the body of the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S115).

When the tilt of the body of the mobile communication terminal 2 is detected (when the determination of step S15 is YES), the control unit 200 stores the detected tilt direction in the memory 204 in step S16. The communication with the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1 is temporarily cut off (step S116).

On the other hand, when the inclination of the main body of the mobile communication terminal 2 is not detected (in a case of a NO determination in step S15), the control unit 200 repeats the determination in step S15 (step S15).

[0098] Next, in step S17, the control unit 200 determines whether the tilt of the body of the mobile communication terminal 2 has returned to the horizontal position (step S117).

When the tilt of the main body of the mobile communication terminal 2 has returned to the horizontal (in the case of the determination in step S17 is YES), in step S18, the control unit 200 causes the proximity communication unit 290 to restart the digital operation. The communication of the multi-functional peripheral 1 close to the communication unit 190 transmits a control command previously associated with the direction of inclination stored in the memory 204 (step S18 ).

On the other hand, when the inclination of the body of the mobile communication terminal 2 has not returned to the horizontal (in the case of a NO determination in step S17), the control unit 200 repeats the determination in step S17 (step S17).

[0101] Next, in step S19, the control unit 200 determines whether or not the proximity communication unit 290 continues to detect the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (step S19).

[0102] When the proximity communication unit 290 continues to detect the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (when the determination of step S19 is YES), the control unit 200 returns to the determination of step S15 (step S15). .

[0103] On the other hand, if the proximity communication unit 290 does not continue detecting the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (if the determination in step S19 is “NO”), the control unit 200 ends the multifunction peripheral. Communication of the proximity communication unit 190 of 1. (Step S20)

[0104] In addition, even if the inclination of the body of the mobile communication terminal 2 does not return to the horizontal in step S17, if the proximity communication unit 290 does not continue detecting the NFC tag IC 192 of the multifunction peripheral 1, the control unit 200 may end Communication of the multi-functional peripheral 1 close to the communication unit 190 .

[0105] In addition, after the communication ends in step S20, the control unit 200 may reset the tilt direction stored in the memory 204.

[0106] In this way, when the user unintentionally tilts the main body of the mobile communication terminal 2 in the wrong direction, the mobile communication terminal 2 can be moved outside the communicable range of the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1. The communication with the proximity communication unit 190 is ended, and an erroneous control command is cancelled.

<PROCESSFLOWOFDIGITALMULTIFUNCTIONALPRINTER1OFTHEPRESENTINVENTION> Next, the processing flow of the multifunction peripheral 1 of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 8 .

In step S21 of FIG. 8 , the control unit 100 of the multifunction peripheral 1 determines whether or not the NFC tag IC 192 of the proximity communication unit 190 detects the NFC IC 292 of the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S21).

[0109] In a case where the NFC tag IC 192 detects the NFC IC 292 (in a case of a Yes determination in step S21), in step S22, the control section 100 causes the proximity communication section 190 to start communication with the mobile communication terminal 2. The communication of the proximity communication unit 290 (step S22).

On the other hand, when the NFC IC 292 is not detected by the NFC tag IC 192 (in a case of a NO determination in step S21), the control unit 100 repeats the determination in step S21 (step S21).

[0111] Next, in step S23, the control unit 100 transmits tag information previously stored in the memory 104 to the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S23).

[0112] Next, in step S24, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the proximity communication unit 190 has received a control command from the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S24).

When the proximity communication unit 190 receives the control command from the mobile communication terminal 2 (in the case of the determination in step S24 is YES), in step S25, the control unit 100 receives the received control command. It sends to SoCIOI and performs control processing (step S25).

Specifically, after receiving the control instruction from the mobile communication terminal 2, the NFC tag IC 192 writes the received control instruction into the memory 104 and transmits an interrupt request to the SoC101.

[0115] On the other hand, SoCl 01 that received the interrupt request transmits a transmission request of the control instruction to the NFC tag IC 192. The NFC tag IC 192 that received the transmission request from the SoCIOI reads the control instruction stored in the memory 104 and sends it to the SoC101.

[0116] When receiving a control instruction from the NFC tag IC 192, the SoC101 performs a control process corresponding to the received control instruction.

Then, the control unit 100 ends the control process of the complex machine 1.

On the other hand, in step S24, if the proximity communication unit 190 has not received a control command from the mobile communication terminal 2 (in the case of the determination in step S24 is NO), the control unit 100 repeats. Determination of step S24 (step SM) 〇

[0119] Next, an example of the tilt of the mobile communication terminal 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 .

[0120] As shown in FIG. 9, when the application dedicated to the complex machine 1 is started, the screen for controlling the complex machine 1 is displayed on the display operation unit 203 of the mobile communication terminal 2.

In the example of FIG. 9, four icons (ie, "mail" icon 2031a, "scan" icon 2031b, "copy" icon 2031c, and "fax" icon 2031d) are respectively displayed on the display operation part 203. Upper side, right side, lower side and left side.

[0122] In addition, a message prompting the mobile communication terminal 2 to tilt up and down in either direction may be displayed in the empty space of the display operation unit 203. Alternatively, the message can also be notified by sound. In addition, in the case where the mobile communication terminal 2 does not face a predetermined reference direction, the message may also be notified so that the mobile communication terminal 2 faces the reference direction. In addition, in the case where the mobile communication terminal 2 is not inclined in either of the up, down, left, and right directions, the message may be notified so as to be tilted to the correct direction. By thus notifying the message, the user's convenience in sight and hearing-impaired obstacles is improved.

[0123] While holding the mobile communication terminal 2 on the proximity communication section 190, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2 from the reference direction (horizontal direction in the example of FIG. 6).

[0124] As shown in FIG. 10, when the user wants to perform a scan, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2 so that the right side is facing down, and if he wants to perform a fax, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2 to the left. Side down.

[0125] In addition, as shown in (8) of FIG. 10, when the user wants to perform copying, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2 so that the front side is downward, and if the user wants to execute the mail, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2. With its back side facing down.

[0126] At this time, once the inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2 is detected, the NFC communication is temporarily disconnected, and when the inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2 returns to the horizontal state, the NFC communication is resumed, and a control command is transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 1.

[0127] In this way, when the communication state with the multifunction peripheral 1 is deteriorated due to the inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2, data in the oblique direction is not transmitted and stored in the memory 204, and the inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2 is returned to the original state. When the communication state with the multifunction peripheral 1 is restored, data stored in an oblique direction of the memory 204 is transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 1 so that the control command can be stably transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 1 .

[0128] In this way, the user can control the multifunction peripheral 1 intuitively and quickly by holding the mobile communication terminal 2 close to the communication section 190 and tilting it in a predetermined direction, thereby improving user convenience.

Second Embodiment Next, a multifunction peripheral control system 10 as an example of an electronic device control system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 11 . FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display operation unit 203 of the mobile communication terminal 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0130] In the second embodiment, the user tilts the mobile communication terminal 2 in either of the up, down, left and right directions to display a screen for prompting the user to confirm after selecting one of the mail, copying, facsimile, and scanning.

[0131] FIG. 11 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display operation section 203 after the user tilts down the lower side of the mobile communication terminal 2 to select copying in FIG.

[0132] As shown in FIG. 11 , the display operation unit 203 displays a message “Whether to start copying?” 2032, and also displays two “OK” icons corresponding to the two operations of “OK” and “Cancel”, respectively. 2032a and the "Cancel" icon 2032b.

[0133] Here, in FIG. 11, when the user selects “OK” by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 so that the right side is down, an instruction to perform copying is transmitted to the complex machine 1.

On the other hand, when the user selects "Cancel" by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 so that its left side is downward, an instruction to cancel the selection state of copying is transmitted to the complex machine 1. Thereafter, the screen of the display operation unit 203 returns to the selection screen illustrated in FIG. 9 .

[0135] In this way, by selecting a specific operation and further displaying a screen for prompting the user to confirm, allowing the user to select any one of “OK” or “Cancel”, it is possible to prevent the mobile communication terminal 2 from moving in an unexpected direction. Misoperation caused by tilting.

[0136] In addition, since the operation for confirmation is also performed by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2, the multifunction peripheral 1 can be intuitively and quickly controlled, and the user's convenience is improved.

[0137] In addition, after the start of copying, the “stop” icon may be displayed on the display operation unit 203 during the execution of the copy, and the execution of the copy may be suspended by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 in the direction of the “stop” icon. The command is sent to the MFP1.

[0138] In this way, since the user can stop the execution of the copy by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 after the start of copying, the multifunction peripheral 1 can be intuitively and quickly controlled, and the convenience of the user is improved.

Third Embodiment Next, a multifunction peripheral control system 10 as an example of an electronic device control system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 . FIGS. 12 to 14 are diagrams illustrating an example of the display operation unit 203 of the mobile communication terminal 2 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0140] As shown in FIG. 12 , the “settings” icon 2032 c may be additionally displayed on the display operation unit 203 so that another operation can be performed.

[0141] FIG. 13 shows the display operation unit 203 when the setting screen is displayed by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 so that the lower side is downward in FIG.

[0142] As shown in FIG. 13 , the display operation unit 203 displays a “magnification” icon 2033a, a “copies” icon 2033b, a “tray” icon 2033c, and a “cancel” icon 2033d.

14 shows the display operation unit 203 when the copy communication number setting screen is displayed by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 to the right side in FIG. 13 .

As shown in FIG. 14, the display operation unit 203 displays "reset" icon 2034a, "+" icon 2034b, "OK" icon 2034c, and "-" icon 2034d.

[0145] The user can increase or decrease the number of copies by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 to have its right or left side down. At this time, the number of copies may be changed by only one copy by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 once, but the number of copies may be continuously increased when the mobile communication terminal 2 is tilted for more than a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds or longer). Or decrease.

[0146] In addition to the tilt time of the mobile communication terminal 2, it is also possible to assign different controls depending on the tilt angle and the tilt speed of the mobile communication terminal 2. For example, the larger the inclination angle and the inclination speed of the mobile communication terminal 2, the faster the increase or decrease in the number of copies.

[0147] By assigning different controls according to the tilt time, the tilt angle, and the tilt speed of the mobile communication terminal 2 in this way, the multifunction peripheral 1 can be intuitively and quickly controlled, and user convenience is improved.

Fourth Embodiment Next, a multifunction peripheral control system 10 as an example of an electronic device control system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 15 . FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display operation unit 203 of the mobile communication terminal 2 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0149] As shown in FIG. 15 , the display operation unit 203 displays "tray 1A4-R" icon 2035a, "tray 2A4-R" icon 2035b, "tray 3B5-R" icon 2035c, "tray 4A3" icon 2035d and " OK icon 2035e.

[0150] The user can select one of the four icons 2035a, 2035b, 2035c, and 2035d by tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 so that the upper side or the lower side faces downward.

[0151] In FIG. 15 , the case where the uppermost “tray 1A4-R” icon 2035a is selected is shown, so the icon color becomes a colored icon. In addition, the selection state of the icon can also be represented by surrounding the icon with a rectangular frame-shaped cursor.

[0152] At this time, one upper or lower icon may be moved by tilting the mobile mobile communication terminal 2 once, but may also be when the mobile communication terminal 2 is inclined for more than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second or more). A color or icon that indicates the icon selection state continuously moves multiple icons.

[0153] In addition, in the case where there are many icons to be selected and all of them cannot be displayed in the screen of the display operation unit 203, the screen may be scrolled up and down to display icons outside the screen.

[0154] In addition, the larger the inclination angle and the inclination speed of the mobile communication terminal 2, the faster the speed at which the icon or the like indicating the icon selection state moves between the plurality of icons.

[0155] In this way, as long as the mobile communication terminal 2 is tilted, the color, cursor, or the like indicating the selected state of the icon is moved along the oblique direction so as to continuously decrease, so that the digital multi-function peripheral 1 can be intuitively and quickly controlled and improved. The user's convenience.

[0156] [Embodiment 5] In addition to the operation of tilting the mobile communication terminal 2, the user may provide a control instruction to the multifunction peripheral 1 by directly touching an icon displayed on the display operation section 203.

[0157] For example, in FIG. 9 , after the user selects copying by tilting the lower side of the mobile communication terminal 2 downward, by touching the “OK” icon as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. The print command can be transmitted to the multifunction peripheral 1 more quickly than by touching or tilting the mobile communication terminal 2.

[0158] For example, in the conventional method of touching a plurality of icons with a thumb in a state of holding the mobile communication terminal 2, at least the following three steps are required: (1) touching the first icon with the thumb; and then (2) ) Leave the thumb temporarily off the first icon; then (3) move the thumb and touch the second icon.

On the other hand, in the method of Embodiment 5 in which the operation of the mobile communication terminal 2 is tilted and the touch operation of the finger is combined, the following two steps are sufficient: (1) The mobile communication terminal 2 is tilted Select the first icon; then (2) touch the second icon with your thumb.

[0160] In this way, by combining the operation of tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 and the touch operation of the finger, the control of the complex machine 1 can be intuitively and quickly performed compared to the case of performing the touch operation with only the finger.

[0161] [Embodiment 6] Next, an outline of the control of the complex machine 1 according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17 .

[0162] FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the outline of the processing of the mobile communication terminal 2 according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the outline of the processing of the complex machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention.

[0163] In addition, since steps S31, S32, and S35 to S40 in FIG. 16 correspond to steps S11, S12, and S15 to S20 in FIG. 7, respectively, the description thereof is omitted. In addition, steps S41, S42, S44, and S45 of FIG. 17 correspond to steps S21, S22, S24, and S25 of FIG. 8 , respectively, and therefore their description will be omitted. Here, steps S33 and S34 of FIG. 16 and step S43 of FIG. 17 that are not described in FIGS. 7 and 8 will be described.

In step S32 of FIG. 16, after the proximity communication unit 290 starts communication with the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1, (step S32), the control unit 200 judges the proximity communication unit 290 in subsequent step S33. Whether or not the start command of the application dedicated to the complex machine 1 and the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 is received from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1 (step S33).

When the proximity communication unit 290 receives the activation command of the application specific to the multifunction peripheral 1 and the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1, the determination in step S33 is “YES”. In the case of "", in step S34, the control unit 200 activates the application specific to the complex machine 1 based on the received activation instruction and based on the tag information (step S34).

On the other hand, if the proximity communication unit 290 does not receive the activation instruction of the application specific to the complex machine 1 and the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 from the proximity communication unit 190 of the multifunction peripheral 1, the process proceeds to step S33. If the determination is "No", the control unit 200 repeats the determination in step S33 (step S33).

[0167] Next, in step S42 of FIG. 17 , after the proximity communication unit 190 starts communication with the proximity communication unit 290 of the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S42), the control unit 100 saves in advance in subsequent step S43. The application specific to the complex machine 1 and the tag information of the NFC tag IC 192 in the memory 104 are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 2 (step S43).

[0168] In this way, when the mobile communication terminal 2 approaches the MFP 1 to the communication range of NFC, the activation instruction of the application for the control of the MFP 1 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 2, so that it is not necessary to start up. The operation of this application can realize the digital multi-functional peripheral 1 with improved user convenience.

Embodiment 7 Next, an overview of the control of the complex machine 1 according to Embodiment 7 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 18 .

[0170] FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the display of the display operation unit 103 of the panel unit 180 of the multifunction peripheral 1 according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention.

[0171] When the proximity communication unit 190 starts communication with the proximity communication unit 290 of the mobile communication terminal 2, as shown in FIG. 18, a screen indicating the control method of the multifunction peripheral 1 may be displayed on the panel of the multifunction peripheral 1. The display operation unit 103 of the unit 180.

[0172] In FIG. 18, the display operation unit 103 displays a message 1032 indicating a method of operating the digital multi-function peripheral 1 by the inclination of the mobile communication terminal 2, and a diagram 1033 indicating an inclination direction.

[0173] In addition, an animation 1035 indicating the method of tilting the mobile communication terminal 2 and a message 1034 linked with the animation 1035 may be displayed on the display operation unit 103.

[0174] In this way, by the display operation unit 103 notifying the user of one or more tilt directions in which the main body of the mobile communication terminal 2 should be tilted, it is possible to realize the multifunction peripheral 1 having improved user convenience.

[0175] In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention may have various modifications.
