IMAGE-READING SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An image-reading system comprising:
- a control device that includes;
a first memory that stores first device information assigned to an image-reading device having predetermined image-reading functions;
a first receiving unit that receives second device information; and
a requesting unit that requests, if the received second device information is not included in the stored first device information, creation of a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition; and
an image-reading device that includes;
an image-reading unit that reads an image and converts the image to image data;
a second memory that stores function information expressing an available function of the image-reading unit;
a first sending unit that sends second device information assigned to the image-reading device to the control device;
a first creating unit that creates, if the requesting unit requests creation of a content of a settings screen, a content of a first settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of the image-reading unit expressed by the stored function information;
a generating unit that generates, when a scan condition is set on the first settings screen whose content is created by the first creating unit, first instruction data to read an image in accordance with the set scan condition; and
a reading controller that controls the image-reading unit based on the generated first instruction data, so that the image-reading unit reads an image in accordance with the set scan condition.

Abstract
An image-reading system includes an image-reading device that includes: a first creating unit that creates, if a control device requests creation of a content of a settings screen, a content of a first settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of an image-reading unit expressed by stored function information; a generating unit that generates, when a scan condition is set on the first settings screen whose content is created by the first creating unit, first instruction data to read an image in accordance with the set scan condition; and a reading controller that controls the image-reading unit based on the generated first instruction data, so that the image-reading unit reads an image in accordance with the set scan condition.

4. A control device comprising:
-
a memory that stores first device information assigned to an image-reading device having a predetermined image-reading function; a receiving unit that receives, from an image-reading device, second device information assigned to the image-reading device; a requesting unit that requests, if the received second device information is not included in the stored first device information, the image-reading device to create a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition; an acquiring unit that acquires, if the received second device information is included in the stored first device information, from the image-reading device, function information expressing an available function of the image-reading device; and a creating unit that creates a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of the image-reading device expressed by the acquired function information.

5. A control method comprising:
-
storing first device information assigned to an image-reading device having a predetermined image-reading function; receiving, from an image-reading device, second device information assigned to the image-reading device; requesting, if the received second device information is not included in the stored first device information, the image-reading device to create a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition; acquiring, if the received second device information is included in the stored first device information, from the image-reading device, function information expressing an available function of the image-reading device; and creating a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of the image-reading device expressed by the acquired function information.

6. A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for control, the process comprising:
-
storing first device information assigned to an image-reading device having a predetermined image-reading function; receiving, from an image-reading device, second device information assigned to the image-reading device; requesting, if the received second device information is not included in the stored first device information, the image-reading device to create a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition; acquiring, if the received second device information is included in the stored first device information, from the image-reading device, function information expressing an available function of the image-reading device; and creating a content of a settings screen for setting a scan condition supported by the available function of the image-reading device expressed by the acquired function information.
