Image processing device for reading and transmitting an image in a non-display state

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image processing program for causing a computer to function as:

• a display control unit that displays any one of a plurality of processing screen data including screen data provided by a server device on a display unit and executes an instructed process according to a display screen data;
• a receiving unit that receives, on the screen data provided by the server device, displayed on the display unit, a read instruction of causing an image reading unit to read a document image and a transmission instruction for storing image data corresponding to the read document image in the server device;
• an instruction maintaining unit that maintains the transmission instruction received by the receiving unit;
• and
• a reading and transmission executing unit that executes reading of the document image based on the read instruction and executes the transmission instruction maintained in the instruction maintaining unit with respect to the image data obtained by the reading after the reading is completed,
• wherein the display control unit includes a switching unit that switches the processing screen data displayed on the display unit during execution of a process of the reading and transmission executing unit so that the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is executed in a non-display state,
• the computer being caused to further function as:
• an authentication unit that authenticates a user who inputs a processing instruction corresponding to an image displayed on the display unit;
• and
• an authentication information maintaining unit that maintains user authentication information and links the user authentication information to the processing instruction when the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is being executed in a non-display state,
• wherein the switching unit compares newly authenticated authentication information with the authentication information maintained in the authentication information maintaining unit when the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is being executed in a non-display state, and switches the process displayed on the display unit based on the comparison result.

An image processing method comprising:

• displaying any one of a plurality of processing screen data including screen data provided by a server device on a display unit and executing an instructed process according to a display screen data;
• receiving, on the screen data provided by the server device, displayed on the display unit, a read instruction of causing an image reading unit to read a document image and a transmission instruction for storing image data corresponding to the read document image in the server device;
• maintaining the received transmission instruction;
• and
• executing reading of the document image based on the read instruction and executing the maintained transmission instruction with respect to the image data obtained by the reading after the reading is completed,
• wherein the displaying further includes switching the processing screen data displayed on the display unit during a process of executing reading or executing the maintained transmission instruction so that the process of executing reading or executing the maintained transmission instruction is executed in a non-display state,
• the method further comprising:
• authenticating a user who inputs a processing instruction corresponding to an image displayed on the display unit;
• and
• maintaining user authentication information and linking the user authentication information to the processing instruction when the process of executing reading or executing the maintained transmission instruction is executed in a non-display state,
• wherein the switching includes comparing newly authenticated authentication information with the maintained authentication information when the process of executing reading or executing the maintained transmission instruction is executed in a non-display state, and switching the process displayed on the display unit based on the comparison result.

An image processing device comprising:

• a scanner;
• a touch panel including a display unit that displays a screen data transmitted from a server that receives an upload instruction for uploading an image data to the server and that receives the upload instruction while the screen data is displayed;
• an instruction maintaining unit that causes the scanner to read a document to generate an image data and that maintains the upload instruction;
• and
• a transmission unit that executes the upload instruction held in the instruction maintaining unit and that transmits the image data to the server, after the generation of the image data is completed,
• wherein the touch panel includes a switching unit that switches processing screen data displayed on the display unit during execution of a process of a reading and transmission executing unit so that the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is executed in a non-display state,
• the image processing device further comprising:
• an authentication unit that authenticates a user who inputs a processing instruction corresponding to an image displayed on the display unit;
• and
• an authentication information maintaining unit that maintains user authentication information and links the user authentication information to the processing instruction when the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is being executed in a non-display state,
• wherein the switching unit compares newly authenticated authentication information with the authentication information maintained in the authentication information maintaining unit when the process of the reading and transmission executing unit is being executed in a non-display state, and switches the process displayed on the display unit based on the comparison result.
