An information processing apparatus includes: a program receiver that receives a new program externally, the new program for updating of an existing program; a set values receiver that receives new set values externally, the new set values including version information, the version information identifying the version of program linked to the new set values; a version judgment portion that judges whether or not the version information included in the new set values matches a current program currently installed or the new program to be installed, the new program being received by the program receiver; and an update portion that updates all the set values if the version information matches the current or new program, or only some of the set values if the version information does not match the current or new program.

Information processing apparatus, set values update method for the same, and recording medium

An image forming apparatus as an image displaying apparatus displays a preview image of the first page at a first resolution. The image forming apparatus enlarges and displays the preview image of the first page when receiving an operation to enlarge the preview image of the first page. The image forming apparatus stores a history of the resolution of the preview image being enlarged of the first page. The image forming apparatus determines a second resolution based on the history of the resolution, when receiving an operation to display a preview image of the second page. The image forming apparatus generates the preview image of the second page at the second resolution.

Image displaying apparatus for displaying preview images

A display control device includes: a display; a touch panel being capable of detecting a gesture; a judgment portion that judges whether or not a screen displayed on the display allows users to operate a display data object with a gesture; a memory; an image generator that determines an image size, that generates an image data object identical with the display data object in the determined image size, and that stores the generated image data object on the memory, upon the screen being judged as allowing users to operate the display data object with a gesture; and a display controller that updates the display data object with the image data object generated by the image generator and stored on the memory, in response to a gesture being performed on the screen, the screen being judged as allowing users to operate the display data object with a gesture.

A display control device comprises: a display; a movement judgment portion that judges whether or not a second image moves a certain distance by user dragging the second image to an arbitrary position of a first image on the display, a controller that allows the display to show a larger area of the first image at least by reducing the first image in size, if the movement judgment portion judges that the second image moves a certain distance; and an image giving portion that gives the second image to a user desired position on the first image by user dropping the second image at the position.

Display control device, display control method, and recording medium

An image forming apparatus includes: a setting information transmitting portion to transmit setting information including a setting screen stored in a screen storage area, screen identification information thereof, and a setting value stored in a setting value storage area to a remote operation device; a remote setting portion to, in response to remote operation information being received after transmission of the setting information, update the setting value stored in the setting value storage area with a setting value included in the remote operation information; and a remote setting screen update portion to generate a setting screen based on the setting value stored in the setting value storage area and update the setting screen stored in the setting screen storage area, after the setting value is updated. An operation is specified based on positional information included in the remote operation information in the updated setting screen.
