The user can ascertain the screen set as the initial screen by viewing the initial screen icon 87.


Initial Screen Display Process

Next, an example of initial screen display process executed by the control unit 17 will be described. The control unit 17 executes the initial screen display process when the reading device 11 enters the standby state.


As illustrated in FIG. 26, in step S11, the control unit 17 determines whether or not the initial screen is set. When the initial screen is not set, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S12. When the initial screen is set, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S13.


The control unit 17 displays the processing function selection screen 23 in step S12. The control unit 17 may display the first page of the processing function selection screen 23, or may display a page with a high use frequency. When the initial screen is not set, the control unit 17 displays the processing function selection screen 23 as the initial screen. After the control unit 17 ends the process of step S12, the control unit 17 ends the initial screen display process.


In step S13, the control unit 17 determines whether or not there is information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen. When there is information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S14. When there is no information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15.


A case in which there is no information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen is a case in which no job is displayed on the screen set as the initial screen. For example, when the processing function selection screen 23 is set as the initial screen and no processing function icon 24 is displayed on the processing function selection screen 23, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15. For example, when the favorite selection screen 41 is set as the initial screen and no favorite label 42 is displayed on the favorite selection screen 41, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15.


The case in which there is no information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen is a case in which no job is displayed on the page indicated by the number received by the control unit 17. For example, when the processing function selection screen 23 is set as the initial screen based on the number of the switching page 25, and no processing function icon 24 is displayed on the switching page 25 indicated by the number, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15. For example, when the favorite selection screen 41 is set as the initial screen based on the number of the tab page 43, and no favorite label 42 is displayed on the tab page 43 indicated by the number, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15.


The case in which there is no information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen is a case in which the job indicated by the number received by the control unit 17 is not displayed on the selection screen. For example, when the processing function selection screen 23 is set as the initial screen based on the number of the processing function, and the processing function icon 24 indicated by the number is not displayed on the processing function selection screen 23, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15. For example, when the favorite selection screen 41 is set as the initial screen based on the favorite number, and the favorite label 42 indicated by the number is not displayed on the favorite selection screen 41, the control unit 17 proceeds to the process of step S15.


In step S14, the control unit 17 displays the screen set as the initial screen. After the control unit 17 ends the process of step S14, the control unit 17 ends the initial screen display process.


The control unit 17 executes a transition process in step S15. The transition process is a process for transitioning to another screen when there is no information to be displayed on the screen set as the initial screen. That is, the control unit 17 changes the screen displayed as the initial screen. This eliminates operations of the user required to switch from the screen set as the initial screen to another screen. After the control unit 17 ends the process of step S15, the control unit 17 ends the initial screen display process.


As illustrated in FIG. 27, in step S21, the control unit 17 that executes the transition process searches for a transition destination of the initial screen. In step S21, the control unit 17 searches for candidates for a screen to be displayed instead of the screen set as the initial screen. In this case, the control unit 17 may determine the transition destination based on the processing function. The control unit 17 may determine the transition destination based on a priority of the processing function. The control unit 17 may determine the transition destination based on the position information and the priority. The control unit 17 may execute one of the three processes, may execute two of the three processes, or may execute all of the three processes.


When the control unit 17 determines the transition destination based on the processing function, the control unit 17 searches for a job using the same scheme as a case in which a candidate screen is displayed on the resetting confirmation screen 82. Therefore, a scheme of determining the transition destination based on the processing function is effective when the screen to be displayed as the initial screen is set based on the number of the job.


The control unit 17 searches for a job corresponding to a processing function common to a job with the number received for setting of the initial screen. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which the favorite with the set processing function indicated by the number received on the initial mode setting screen 71 is displayed. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which a favorite with the same set processing function as the favorite indicated by the number received on the initial mode setting screen 71 is displayed. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the switching page 25 of the processing function selection screen 23 on which the same processing function as the favorite indicated by the number received on the initial mode setting screen 71 is displayed.


When the control unit 17 determines the transition destination based on the priority of the processing function, the control unit 17 confirms the priority information. The priority information is information indicating the priority of the plurality of processing functions. The priority information is stored by the control unit 17. The priority may be stored in the control unit 17 in advance, or may be arbitrarily set by the user from the operating unit 14 and the external device 99. The control unit 17 may be configured to be able to set priorities for the plurality of processing functions.


As illustrated in FIG. 28, the control unit 17 stores priority information. The priority information indicates a processing function that is preferentially selected from among the plurality of processing functions. In the example illustrated in FIG. 28, the priority information indicates that the scan to cloud function among the plurality of processing functions has a high priority. The priority information may indicate an order of processing functions with the high priority, as well as indicating the processing function with the highest priority.


The control unit 17 searches for a job corresponding to the processing function with a high priority among the plurality of processing functions by referring to the priority information. When a job corresponding to the processing function with a high priority is displayed, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the page of the selection screen on which the job is displayed. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the switching page 25 of the processing function selection screen 23 on which the processing function icon 24 indicating the processing function with a high priority is displayed. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which a favorite having a set processing function with a high priority is displayed. This makes it easier for the user to select the processing function with the high priority.


When the control unit 17 determines the transition destination based on the position information and the priority, the control unit 17 acquires the position information and then confirms the priority information. In this case, the control unit 17 stores the priority information in association with the position information.


As illustrated in FIG. 29, the control unit 17 stores priority information for each piece of position information. For example, the control unit 17 stores first priority information associated with first position information and second priority information associated with second position information. The control unit 17 acquires position information by the detection unit 15 detecting the positioning information. When the control unit 17 acquires the first position information, the control unit 17 refers to the first priority information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 29, in the first priority information, the scan to cloud function, the scan to drive function, and the scan to mail function have higher priority in this order. When the control unit 17 acquires the second position information, the control unit 17 refers to the second priority information. In the example illustrated in FIG. 29, in the second priority information, the scan to folder function, the scan to cloud function, the scan to mail function, and the scan to drive function have a higher priority in this order.


when the job corresponding to the processing function with a high priority is displayed on the selection screen, the control unit 17 determines the page of the selection screen on which the job is displayed as the transition destination, based on the position information. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the switching page 25 of the processing function selection screen 23 on which the processing function icon 24 indicating the processing function with a high priority is displayed, based on the position information. For example, the control unit 17 determines, as the transition destination, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which the favorite having a set processing function with a high priority is displayed, based on the position information.


In the example illustrated in FIG. 29, the first position information is information indicating that the reading device 11 is located in a residential area.

For example, the control unit 17 causes the display unit 13 to display, as the initial screen, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which the favorite with the same set processing function as the favorite indicated by the number received on the initial mode setting screen 71 is displayed. This makes it easy for the user to select the same processing function as the job to be displayed on the initial screen. For example, the control unit 17 causes the display unit 13 to display, as the initial screen, the tab page 43 of the favorite selection screen 41 on which the favorite having a set processing function with a high priority is displayed. This makes it easier for the user to select the processing function with the high priority.


In step S23, the control unit 17 may cause the display unit 13 to display a screen for notifying that the screen has transitioned to a screen different from the screen set as the initial screen. Further, the control unit 17 may cause the display unit 13 to display an error screen for prompting the resetting of the initial screen together with a screen that is the transition destination.


The control unit 17 causes the display unit 13 to display the processing function selection screen 23 in step S24. For example, the control unit 17 may cause the display unit 13 to display the processing function selection screen 23 as the initial screen when the job corresponding to a processing function common to the job with the number received for setting of the initial screen is not displayed. For example, the control unit 17 causes the display unit 13 to display the processing function selection screen 23 as the initial screen when the job corresponding to the processing function with a high priority is not displayed. The control unit 17 may cause the first page of the processing function selection screen 23 to be displayed, or may cause a page with a high use frequency to be displayed.


After the control unit 17 ends the process of step S23 or step S24, the control unit 17 ends the transition process. The control unit 17 ends the initial screen display process by ending the transition process. The control unit 17 may skip the transition process in the initial screen display process. In this case, the control unit 17 may cause the display unit 13 to display the processing function selection screen 23 as the initial screen without executing the transition process. In this case, the control unit 17 may cause the display unit 13 to display the error screen for prompting the resetting of the initial screen.
