Abstract
An information processing device includes a communication interface that is communicable with an image forming device, a camera interface configured to receive image data generated by a camera, and a controller. The controller is configured to, based on the image data received through the camera interface, determine whether or not a predetermined gesture is performed by a user during a predetermined period of time after controlling the communication interface to transmit a print command to the image forming device. Upon determining that the predetermined gesture is performed, the controller controls the communication interface to transmit, to the image forming device, a recovery command that directs the image forming device to be ready for printing.
Claims19
An information processing device, comprising:
- a communication interface by which communication is established with an image forming device;
- a camera interface configured to receive image data generated by a camera;
- and
- a controller configured to
- control the communication interface to transmit a print command to the image forming device in response to a user operation and then based on the image data received through the camera interface, determine whether or not a predetermined gesture is performed by a user during a predetermined period of time after controlling the communication interface to transmit the print command to the image forming device, and
- upon determining that the predetermined gesture is performed, control the communication interface to transmit, to the image forming device, a recovery command that directs the image forming device to be ready for printing.
An image forming device, comprising:
- a printer;
- a communication interface that is communicable with an external device to receive a print command and a recovery command that directs the printer to be ready for printing;
- and
- a controller configured to carry out authentication of a user after reception of the print command by the communication interface and control the printer to carry out image forming upon successful authentication of the user, wherein
- upon reception of the recovery command by the communication interface after the reception of the print command and before the successful authentication of the user, the controller directs the printer to be ready for printing.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a program that is executable in a computing device to cause the computing device to perform a method for communicating with an image forming device, the method comprising:
- transmitting a print command to the image forming device in response to a user operation;
- receiving image data generated by a camera after the print command has been transmitted;
- based on the image data, determining whether or not a predetermined gesture is performed by a user during a predetermined period of time after the print command was transmitted;
- and
- upon determining that the predetermined gesture is performed, transmitting, to the image forming device, a recovery command that directs the image forming device to be ready for printing.
