Abstract
A control unit in an MFP determines whether a connection request from a communication device carried by a user has been received. If the control unit determines that the connection request has been received, then the control unit issues network identification information and transmits it to the communication device. When a connection is established, the control unit automatically alters the operation screen to an operation screen related to image processing based on the information transmitted/received to/from the communication device, and accepts an operation to execute image processing.
Claims10
An image processing device comprising:
- a display that displays an operation screen for accepting an operation;
- a central processor that accepts an operation corresponding to the operation screen;
- an image processor that executes image processing corresponding to the operation accepted by the central processor;
- and
- a wireless communicator that executes wireless communication;
- wherein
- the central processor detects a connection with an external device through the wireless communicator;
- and
- the central processor alters the operation screen displayed in the display to an operation screen for accepting an operation related to image processing based on information transmitted/received to/from the external device, when the central processor detects the connection.
An image processing system comprising:
- an image processing device;
- and a communication device capable of connecting to the image processing device through wireless communication, wherein
- the image processing device includes:
- a display that displays an operation screen for accepting an operation;
- a central processor that accepts an operation corresponding to the operation screen;
- an image processor that executes image processing corresponding to the operation accepted by the central processor;
- and
- a wireless communicator that executes wireless communication;
- wherein
- the central processor detects a connection with the communication device through the wireless communicator;
- wherein
- the central processor alters the operation screen displayed in the display to an operation screen for accepting an operation related to image processing based on information transmitted/received to/from the communication device, when the central processor unit detects the connection.
