Electronic device, control method therefor and recording medium
In an electronic device which is capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of information which may be obtained by an imaging operation, and in a first display format, a system controller makes a generating unit which generates code information generate a single piece of code information including a plurality of pieces of information and makes a rear-side display unit display a picture of the generated code information. In a second display format, the generating unit which generates code information is made to generate a plurality of pieces of code information which individually include a plurality of pieces of information and the rear-side display unit is made to display pictures of the generated code information sequentially one by one.
1. An electronic device which is capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of information which may be obtained by an imaging operation, comprising:
a communication unit which performs wireless communication with an information terminal;
a generating unit which generates code information;
a display unit which performs display while changing between a first display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a single piece of code information to be displayed including the plurality of pieces of information and a second display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a plurality of pieces of code information individually including the plurality of pieces of information and pictures of the code information are displayed sequentially one by one; and
a control unit which makes the display unit display the first display format, and which performs a display of the second display format on the display unit when it is impossible to establish the wireless communication with the information terminal by the communication unit within a first prescribed time after displaying the first display format.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
when it is impossible to establish the wireless communication with the information terminal when the display of the second display format ends after shifting to the second display format, the control unit repeats the display of the second display format.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising
an operation unit which detects an operation of a changing instruction for a display on the display unit by a user,
wherein
upon detecting an instruction for changing a display format from the first display format to the second display format via the operation unit, the control unit generates and displays, on the display unit, icons corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of code information in the second display format and displays an icon corresponding to a picture of code information that is being displayed on the display unit in a display format that is different from a display format for other icons.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising
an operation unit which detects an operation of a changing instruction for a display on the display unit by a user,
wherein
in the second display format, the control unit sequentially changes code information to be displayed on the display unit among the plurality of pieces of code information according to an output of the operation unit to make pictures of code information be displayed one by one.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
in the second display format, when a second prescribed time elapses, the control unit sequentially changes code information to be displayed on the display unit among the plurality of pieces of code information to make pictures of code information be displayed one by one.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein
the code information includes a plurality of communication parameters that are necessary when the information terminal performs the wireless communication with the electronic device.
7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein
in the second display format, each of the plurality of pieces of code information includes one of the plurality of communication parameters.
8. A control method for an electronic device which comprises a display unit, a communication unit which performs wireless communication with an information terminal, a generating unit which generates code information and a control unit, and which is capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of information which may be obtained by an imaging operation, wherein:
the control unit
changes between a first display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a single piece of code information to be displayed including the plurality of pieces of information and a second display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a plurality of pieces of code information individually including the plurality of pieces of information and pictures of the generated code information are sequentially displayed one by one; and
controls the display unit to display the first display format, and performs a display of the second display format on the display unit when it is impossible to establish the wireless communication with the information terminal by the communication unit within a first prescribed time after displaying the first display format.
9. A recording medium recording a control program for causing a microcomputer of an electronic device to execute a process, which is a control program for causing the microcomputer of an electronic device which comprises a display unit, a communication unit which performs wireless communication with an information terminal, a generating unit which generates code information and a control unit, and which is capable of displaying a plurality of pieces of information which may be obtained by an imaging operation, wherein:
the microcomputer
changes between in a first display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a single piece of code information to be displayed including the plurality of pieces of information and a second display format in which the generating unit is made to generate a plurality of pieces of code information individually including the plurality of pieces of information and pictures of the generated code information are sequentially displayed one by one on the display unit; and
controls the display unit to display the first display format, and performs a display of the second display format on the display unit when it is impossible to establish the wireless communication unit within a first prescribed time after displaying the first display format.
10. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the single piece of code information and the plurality of pieces of code information encode parameters necessary for establishing wireless communication between the electronic device and the information terminal.
11. The control method of claim 8 , wherein each of the single piece of code information and the plurality of pieces of code information encode parameters necessary for establishing wireless communication between the electronic device and the information terminal.
12. The recording medium of claim 9 , wherein each of the single piece of code information and the plurality of pieces of code information encode parameters necessary for establishing wireless communication between the electronic device and the information terminal.
