The display input device includes an operation display part, a call button correspondingly associated with a default process of displaying a setting screen in the operation display part, and a controller for, when the call button is operated while another screen other than the setting screen is displayed, executing the default process to display the setting screen. The controller decides whether or not a changeover condition has been satisfied during display of the setting screen, and in a case where the call button is operated for a second time during the display of the setting screen, on condition that the changeover condition has been satisfied, the controller executes a process corresponding to a status of use of the operation display part during a period lasting from execution of the default process until the second-time operation of the call button.

An input accepting device includes operation keys, a character receiving unit, a converting unit, an operation key state detection unit, a timer, and a conversion control unit. The converting unit converts a combination of characters corresponding to the operation keys sequentially operated into another character or word. The operation key state detection unit detects a first timing and a second timing while the user operates the operation key. The first timing is at which a state of the user becomes a state of touching the operation key from a state of not touching the operation key. The second timing is at which a state of the user becomes a state of not touching the operation key after the first timing. The timer detects an elapsed time from the first timing. The conversion control unit causes the conversions with different contents depending on the elapsed time at the second timing.

Input accepting device

A display apparatus includes a display, a display controller, a sensor, and a work identifying unit. The display controller causes the display to continuously display a guidance video. The guidance video indicates a specified work procedure of respective processes. The display controller analyzes a work procedure that has been actually performed by the operator from a time series of the respective works identified by the work identifying unit, compares the analyzed work procedure with the process sequence and the specified work procedure, and returns to the process including an unprocessed work that has not been performed in accordance with the process sequence and the specified work procedure to cause the display to redisplay the guidance video indicating the work procedure of the returned process when having determined that the work performed by the operator is not performed in accordance with the process sequence and the specified work procedure.

Display apparatus and method for displaying guidance video

An electronic apparatus includes an operation unit and a control unit. The control unit performs a guidance image display control, a step bar display control, and a step bar operation detection control. When the touch operation on a given position of the step bar is detected in the step bar operation detection control, the control unit causes the display unit to display the plurality of guidance images corresponding to the process associated with the position where the touch operation has been made, in the guidance image display control.

Electronic apparatus and image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus includes a display, a display controller, a cover, a cover sensor, a recording sheet sensor, and a jam solution work progress managing unit. The display controller causes the display to continuously display a guidance video in a process sequence when the recording sheet jam occurs. The guidance video shows a work procedure constituted of a plurality of processes for a solution work for a recording sheet jam. The jam solution work progress managing unit manages a progress of the solution work for the recording sheet jam. When the jam solution work progress managing unit determines that the solution work for the recording sheet jam is not performed while the cover sensor detects closing of the cover, the display controller causes the display to repeatedly display a guidance video showing a work procedure for a first process in the solution work for the recording sheet jam.

In order to promote the use of a display panel as an operation panel part, if a communicable terminal device () is detected (S), a CPU () requests the terminal device () to transmit panel information (S), and determines, on the basis of the panel information, whether or not the operability of the terminal device () is higher than that of an operation panel part () (S). If the operability of the terminal device () is higher than that of the operation panel part (), the CPU () displays a terminal device utilization screen on a display panel () (S). If an operation of an image forming device () by the terminal device () is selected by a user, the CPU () generates data for displaying an image of an operation screen based on the display on the display panel () and a setting value set by the operation of the operation panel part (), and transmits the data to the terminal device () (S).

An image forming apparatus includes a receiving processing portion, a first printing processing portion, and a second printing processing portion. The receiving processing portion is configured to receive an operation for designating a designation page to which a predetermined printing condition is to be applied, of a document including a plurality of pages. The first printing processing portion is configured to print a partial document including the designation page, of the document. The second printing processing portion is configured to print a remaining document obtained by excluding the partial document from the document, in accordance with a predetermined confirmation operation after the printing by the first printing processing portion.

Image forming apparatus and image forming method

Provided is an image forming apparatus that reflects setup information according to an intention of a user. The image forming apparatus is operational from each of a mobile terminal and an operation panel. Accordingly, the image forming apparatus has an operation determination processing part. The operation determination part, when the start key in the operation panel is pressed, determines to reflect either of setup information of the mobile terminal or setup information of an operation panel.

An image forming system includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses and a group management server. The plurality of image forming apparatuses each include a document-box management unit. The document-box movement processing unit transmits a command to at least one of a first image forming apparatus assigned to a group before the movement and a second image forming apparatus assigned to a group after the movement, the command causing movement of a document box of the moved user from the first image forming apparatus to the second image forming apparatus. The document-box management unit in at least one of the first image forming apparatus and the second image forming apparatus accepts the command. The document-box management unit forwards the document box of the moved user from the first image forming apparatus to the second image forming apparatus.

To provide enhanced operability to users incapable of setting complicated operations such as handicapped people, children, and old people. An operation panel section displays a plurality of settable functions to receive an input of the plurality of the settable functions. An input controller switches an input mode through an operation panel section between a standard mode in which any function can be set and a universal mode in which limited functions can be set with visibility higher than the standard mode.

An image forming apparatus including: a display portion for displaying an image; a storing portion for storing a plurality of operative instruction reception images, and operation guide images associated with the respective operative instruction reception images; a display controller for controlling the display portion to display an operative instruction reception image or an operation guide image stored in the storing portion; and an instruction receiving portion for receiving from an operator a display instruction to display an operation guide image. When the instruction receiving portion receives a display instruction, the display controller controls the display portion to display an operation guide image associated with an operative instruction reception image displayed on the display portion at the time when the instruction receiving portion receives a display instruction.
