Image processing apparatus, method for controlling image processing apparatus, and recording medium
Image processing apparatuses have a unit for registering settings in applications or a unit for registering application settings on a portal screen, but do not allow these units to function in a coordinated manner. For example, if a user who frequently uses a certain application registers settings of the application, the settings may also be useful to other users. However, users who mainly use their own portal screens cannot invoke the settings. Settings of an application registered as a shared custom button are automatically registered as frequently used settings in the application. Similarly, settings registered as frequently used settings in an application are automatically registered as a shared custom button.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a memory;
at least one processor coupled to the memory to:
execute an application;
register history of settings of the applications in a time order in which the application is executed according to the setting;
display a screen containing the registered history of setting of the application;
receive user instruction to register, as a first setting, a setting of the application contained in the history;
register, as the first setting, the setting of the application contained in the history according to the user instruction;
display a main screen containing an object to invoke the setting of the application registered as the first setting;
register, as a second setting, the setting of the application registered as the first setting, without the user instruction; and
display a screen for setting the application containing an object capable of invoking the setting of the application registered as the second setting.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a first selecting unit for selecting the first setting of the of the application and a second selecting unit for selecting the second setting of the application registered based on a per-login-user are displayed on the screen.
3. The apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first selecting unit, the second selecting unit, and a third selecting unit for selecting a third setting that is a default setting of the application are displayed on the screen.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new first setting of the application shared among the users, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new second setting of the application based on a per-login-user, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
6. The apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein, when the setting selected in the execution of the job is registered as the first setting, the setting as the second setting of the application is automatically registers.
7. The apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein, when the setting selected in the execution of the job is registered as the second setting, the setting as the first setting of the application shared among the users is automatically registers.
8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein, if the first setting of the application registered to be shared among the users cannot be registered as a setting of the application based on a per-login-user, a relevant warning to the user is provided.
9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein, if the second setting registered for the application cannot be registered as the first setting of the application shared among the users, a relevant warning to the user is provided.
10. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a management unit,
wherein the management unit managing first data comprising: information about settings registered to be shared among the users; and information about settings registered based on a per-login-user.
11. The apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein the management unit further manages second data comprising information about the registered settings based on a per-application.
12. A method comprising:
executing an application;
registering history of settings of the applications in a time order in which the application is executed according to the setting;
displaying a screen containing the registered history of setting of the application;
receiving user instruction to register, as a first setting, a setting of the application contained in the history;
registering, as the first setting, the setting of the application contained in the history according to the user instruction;
displaying a main screen containing an object to invoke the setting of the application registered as the first setting;
registering, as a second setting, the setting of the application registered as the first setting, without the user instruction; and
displaying a screen for setting the application containing an object capable of invoking the setting of the application registered as the second setting.
13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein a first selecting for selecting a first setting of an application and a second selecting for selecting a second setting of the application registered based on a per-login-user are displayed on the screen.
14. The method according to claim 12 , wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new first setting of the application shared among the users, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
15. The method according to claim 12 , wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new second setting of the application based on a per-login-user, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
16. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform the method comprising:
executing an applications;
registering history of settings of the application in a time order in which the application is executed according to the setting;
displaying a screen containing the registered history of setting of the application;
receiving user instruction to register, as a first setting, a setting of the application contained in the history;
registering, as the first setting, the setting of the application contained in the history according to the user instruction;
displaying a main screen containing an object to invoke the setting of the application registered as the first setting;
registering, as a second setting, the setting of the application registered as the first setting, without the user instruction; and
displaying a screen for setting the application containing an object capable of invoking the setting of the application registered as the second setting.
17. The recording medium according to claim 16 , wherein a first selecting unit for selecting the first setting of the application and a second selecting unit for selecting a second setting of the application registered based on a per-login-user are displayed on the screen.
18. The recording medium according to claim 16 , wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new first setting of the application shared among the users, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
19. The recording medium according to claim 16 , wherein, when a user executes a new job in the application, as a new second setting of the application based on a per-login-user, a setting selected by the user in execution of the job is registered.
