A communication apparatus includes a motion sensor, a communication device, and a control device. The motion sensor detects a gesture of a user. The communication device makes communication with a terminal device on another end, through a predetermined communication network. The control device acts as a controller. The controller causes the communication device to dispatch a call to the terminal device, when the motion sensor detects a prespecified gesture, in a state where a predetermined condition is satisfied.

A display operating device includes a storage section storing therein a plurality of character strings, a receiving section receiving a first character, a display section, a touch panel detecting a touch to the display surface of the display section, and an extraction section extracting first character strings each including the first character from among the character strings. Upon receipt of the first character, the first character is displayed within the input frame and the extracted first character strings are displayed outside the input frame. Upon detection of a touch to the input frame displaying the first character strings, the receiving section receives a second character. Second character strings each including the second character are extracted from among the first character strings. Upon receipt of the second character, the second character is displayed within the input frame and the extracted second character strings are displayed outside the input frame.

Display operating device and image forming apparatus

A display/input device has a display portion and a touch panel portion. The display portion displays selection keys and displays a setting screen of a selected setting item. The touch panel portion is provided for the display portion to detect a touch position of user input and a tap-and-drag operation in which while a touch is maintained the touched position is moved. When a tap-and-drag operation is detected within the display position of a selection key, the display portion displays a setting item explanation screen that explains the setting item corresponding to the selection key at the position where the tap-and-drag operation has been made.

An image forming system including an image forming device and a portable terminal device communicably connectable to the image forming device is disclosed. An image forming device includes a touch panel, a detector section, a voice information generator section, and a transmitter section. The touch panel displays a softkey. The detector section detects a pressed position in the touch panel. The voice information generator section generates voice information concerning the position detected by the detector section and the softkey. The transmitter section transmits the voice information to the portable terminal device. The portable terminal device includes a receiver section, a voice data creator section, and a voice outputting section. The receiver section receives the voice information transmitted from the transmitter section. The voice data creator section creates voice data to be output based on the voice information. The voice outputting section outputs a voice based on the voice data.

Image forming system including a portable terminal device

Provided is an image forming system that allows a user to quickly reach a desired setting item so as to resume alteration of the setting of the image forming apparatus and a job manipulation between a mobile terminal and an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus starts an operation of changing the setting when an operation panel part is operated. Then, a terminal apparatus displays setting items of the image forming apparatus on a display panel in the form of a menu map. When an operation for determining a setting item is performed on a menu-map screen on the terminal apparatus, the image forming apparatus changes a setting screen to be displayed on the display panel to a setting screen for the setting item indicated by transmitted information.

The object of the present invention is to suppress a decrease in the optical function of a sleeve by ensuring that a liquid chemical substance is not apt to remain on a peripheral surface of the sleeve even when the liquid chemical substance enters a connector. The present invention relates to an optical connector which is connected to an optical plug holding an optical fiber to a terminal end of which a ferrule is attached. The optical connector of the present invention has a guide pipe into which a ferrule is inserted and on an inner circumferential surface of which a supporting portion (a convexity) is formed, a light-emitting device, a light-receiving device, and a sleeve which is positioned by the supporting portion and optically connects the light-emitting device, the light-receiving device and the optical fiber. According to the present invention, there is a space between the guide pipe and the sleeve and, therefore, the phenomenon that a chemical substance adheres to a wide area and remains does not occur.
