Embodiment Construction

[0043] Hereinafter, embodiments of a control device, an image forming system, and a program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0044] [1] Structure of image forming system

[0045] First, the configuration of the image forming system according to the present embodiment will be described.

[0046] Such as figure 1 As shown, the image forming system 1 includes a cloud system 100 and a user system 110 . In the user system 110 , a smart speaker (SS: Smart Speaker) 111 and a multi-function peripheral (MFP: Multi-Function Peripheral) 112 are connected to a LAN (Local Area Network, local area network) 113 .

[0047] In addition, in the cloud system 100 , two cloud servers, an MFP control server 101 and a voice AI (Artificial Intelligence, artificial intelligence) server 102 , are connected to the Internet 103 . A LAN 113 is also connected to the Internet 103 . The smart speaker 111 , the voice AI server 102 and the MFP control ser...

Abstract

The invention provides a control device, an image forming system, and a recording medium, which can reduce the time required from the execution of a voice instruction to the start of processing. And when the user voice indicates copying, the intelligent loudspeaker sends the voice data to the voice AI server. And the voice AI server extracts instruction content for the multifunctional peripheral from the voice data through voice recognition processing and natural language analysis processing, and sends the obtained instruction content to the MFP control server. And the MFP control server generates operation data corresponding to the indication content and sends the operation data to the multifunctional peripheral. When the multifunctional peripheral cannot accept a job start instruction ofa user using the operation panel, text data corresponding to an operation state of the multifunctional peripheral is transmitted to the voice AI server. And the voice AI server synthesizes voice dataaccording to the response text, so that the intelligent loudspeaker performs voice output.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control device, an image forming system, and a recording medium for giving voice instructions to an image forming apparatus, and particularly relates to a technique for suppressing prolongation of a user's waiting time when giving voice instructions to an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0002] In recent years, since smart speakers and IoT devices have become popular, devices that can be operated by voice using smart speakers are increasing, and image forming devices are also expected to improve user convenience by responding to such voice operations. Specifically, a microphone is used to receive voice input to generate voice data, the voice data is converted into text data by voice recognition, and the text data is subjected to natural language analysis to determine instruction content. Then, the content of the instruction is converted into an instruction for the image forming apparatus and input to th...
