In this case, a touch operation on the touch panel accepts an input of a user operation on the operation screen or the setting screen displayed on the display unit 70.

  The image forming apparatus 1 includes an HDD 50, a communication interface 60, a control unit 100, and the like in addition to the document reading unit 10 and the image forming unit 30 described above.

  The HDD 50 is a large-capacity storage device, and stores image data read by the document reading unit 10 and setting values received by a setting value receiving unit 104 of the control unit 100, which will be described later.

  The communication interface 60 includes a communication module such as a LAN chip, and performs data communication with other image forming apparatuses connected to the network, a personal computer, or the like.

  The control unit 100 includes a processor, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a dedicated hardware circuit. The processor is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or the like. The control unit 100 functions as the control unit 101, the operation receiving unit 102, the display control unit 103, and the set value receiving unit 104 by the operation of the processor according to a program such as an information processing program stored in the HDD 50. However, each of the above configurations may be configured by a hardware circuit instead of the operation by the control unit 100 according to the program.

  The control unit 101 controls the operation of the entire image forming apparatus 1. For example, the control unit 101 controls the image forming unit 30 and the like based on each set value stored in the HDD 50 to form an image desired by the user on the recording paper.

  The operation reception unit 102 identifies a user operation input by the user based on a signal output from the operation key unit 71 or a touch panel arranged on the front surface of the display unit 70. Then, the operation reception unit 102 receives the specified user operation and outputs a control signal corresponding to the user operation to the display control unit 103, the set value reception unit 104, or the like.

  The display control unit 103 has a function of controlling the display operation of the display unit 70 according to the user operation received by the operation receiving unit 102.

  The setting value receiving unit 104 has a function of receiving a change in setting value for a plurality of setting items that can be set in the image forming apparatus 1 according to a user operation received by the operation receiving unit 102.

  Here, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 70 under the control of the display control unit 103. In the example shown in the figure, a setting screen D1 for performing a process of reading a document to generate image data and forming an image based on the generated image data on a recording sheet, that is, a setting for executing a copy process is performed. It is shown.

  On the setting screen D1, a scroll display area d10 in which a predetermined scroll image is scroll-displayed under the control of the display control unit 103 according to the scroll operation received by the operation receiving unit 102 is arranged. In the scroll display area d10, as a predetermined scroll image, a setting item list in which a plurality of setting items that can be set when executing the copy process are listed along the scroll direction (vertical direction on the paper surface). It is displayed.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the setting item list displayed in the scroll display area d10. The setting item list D2 shown in the figure includes images d11 to d23 showing setting items that can be set when executing the copy process. In addition, the setting item list D2 shows information indicating the setting values (default setting values) currently set for each of the plurality of setting items. For example, the image d18 indicates that “Cassette 1” is set as the default setting value of the setting item “Paper Selection” that sets the paper feed cassette for feeding recording paper. Further, for example, in the image d22, it is shown that "Auto Color" is set as the default setting value of the setting item "Color" that sets the color when forming the image on the recording paper.

  Here, since the size of the display unit 70 is limited, the entire range of the setting item list D2 cannot be displayed at once in the scroll display area d10. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the display control unit 103 causes the scroll display area d10 to display a partial range (display range in the figure) of the setting item list D2 as a display screen, and the operation receiving unit 102 receives a message from the user. When the scroll operation of is received, the display screen displayed in the scroll display area d10 is scroll-displayed. For example, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives a downward scroll operation from the user, the display range of the setting item list D2 changes as shown in FIG.

  When the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selecting operation of one setting item from the setting items shown in the scroll display area d10, the setting value receiving unit 104 receives the setting value of the selected one setting item. To change. For example, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selection operation (pressing operation) on the image d18 indicating the setting item “Paper Selection”, the setting value receiving unit 104 changes the setting value of the setting item “Paper Selection”. Specifically, the set value receiving unit 104 sets the set value to “Cassette 1” → “Cassette 2” → “Cassette 3” → “Cassette 1” every time the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selection operation for the image d18. Change one by one. When the set value is changed, the set value receiving unit 104 stores the changed set value in the HDD 50.

  As described above, the user inputs a scroll operation in the up-down direction using the operation key unit 71 or the touch panel arranged on the front surface of the display unit 70, so that a plurality of settings that can be set when executing the copy process are performed. A desired setting item among the items can be displayed in the scroll display area d10 to change the setting value of the desired setting item.

  Returning to FIG. 3, on the setting screen D1, in addition to the scroll display area d10, a scroll bar d30 for performing a scroll operation, and a preview image for displaying the content of the image formed on the recording paper are displayed. A preview image area d40 and the like are arranged. Further, buttons d1 to d6 for changing the display range of the setting item list D2 to a predetermined range associated with each button are also arranged on the setting screen D1. For example, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selection operation on the button d4 arranged on the setting screen D1, the display control unit 103 sets the display range of the setting item list D2 to the setting items of “Color” and “Image Quality”. Change to a range that includes.

  Further, shortcut buttons d31 and d32 are arranged on the setting screen D1. The shortcut buttons d31 and d32 are associated with predetermined setting values for predetermined setting items among the plurality of setting items listed in the setting item list D2. When the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selection operation for the shortcut buttons d31 and d32, the setting value receiving unit 104 sets the setting value of the setting item associated with the selected shortcut button to the above-described predetermined setting value. Perform processing to change to.

  When the setting value is changed by the shortcut buttons d31 and d32, in the general image forming apparatus, the setting screen D1 is changed from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 6, and the setting value is changed by the user. Notify that. In the examples shown in these figures, the setting value of the setting item of “Combine” is changed from “off” to “2 in 1”. In the state shown in FIG. 6, the display mode of the set value of “2 in 1” is different from that of the set value of “off” before the change shown in FIG. Here, "different display modes" means, for example, changing the thickness and character color of a character and displaying.

  However, in the above-described display method of the general image forming apparatus, by pressing the shortcut buttons d31 and d32, which position in the setting item list D2 the setting value of the setting item is changed. The user cannot know. Therefore, when the user subsequently scrolls the setting item list D2 to change the setting value of the setting item without using the shortcut button, while scrolling the setting item list up and down, the position in the setting item list can be changed. Since it is necessary to specify whether the setting item to be changed is located, it takes time and effort to change the setting value.

  The present invention solves the above problem by devising the display method of the setting screen D1. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of the information processing apparatus and the image forming apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that this drawing shows the flow of operations when changing the setting values of the setting items when executing copy processing.

  When the copy instruction is input using the operation key unit 71 or the touch panel arranged on the front surface of the display unit 70 and the operation receiving unit 102 receives the copy instruction (YES in step S10), the display control unit 103 displays the display. The setting screen D1 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the section 70 (step S11).

  Then, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives the selection operation of the shortcut button d31 or d32 on the setting screen D1 (YES in step S12), the display control unit 103 selects the setting item list D2 displayed in the scroll display area d10. The image indicating the setting item associated with the shortcut button is scroll-displayed on the display unit 70 until it is displayed on the setting screen D1 (step S13). By the process of step S13 described above, the setting screen D1 changes from the state shown in FIG. 8A to the state shown in FIG. 9A through the state shown in FIG. 8B. In the examples shown in these figures, the shortcut button d31 associated with the setting item “Color” and the setting value “Mono Color” is selected, and the image d22 indicating the setting item “Color” is displayed on the setting screen. The setting item list D2 is scroll-displayed until it is displayed in D1.

  By the process of step S13 described above, after the image indicating the setting item associated with the selected shortcut button is displayed in the setting screen D1, the display control unit 103 is associated with the selected shortcut button. A process of changing the setting value shown in the image showing the setting item to the setting value associated with the shortcut button is performed (step S14). In the example illustrated in FIG. 9A, the setting value shown in the image d22 indicating the setting item “Color” is changed from “Auto Color” to the setting value “Mono Color” associated with the shortcut button d31.

  When the setting value in the image indicating the setting item is changed in the process of step S14, the display control unit 103 displays the changed setting value as other setting values in the setting item list D2. The display unit 70 is displayed in different modes. Specifically, the display control unit 103 makes the display mode different from other setting values by making the character thickness and character color different.

  Further, the display control unit 103 blinks the image showing the setting item associated with the selected shortcut button together with the process of step S14 described above, so that the display control unit 103 displays the image different from the other images in the setting item list D2. A process for changing the above is performed (step S15). Specifically, the display control unit 103 changes the image by changing at least one color information of the RGB value, the hue, the saturation, and the brightness of the image indicating the setting item associated with the selected shortcut button. Make it blink. By the processing in step S15 described above, the setting screen D1 changes from the state shown in FIG. 9A to the state shown in FIG. 9B. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the image d22 indicating the setting item “Color” blinks.

  On the other hand, the set value receiving unit 104 performs a process of receiving a change in the set value associated with the shortcut button selected in the process of step S12 (step S16). Then, the set value receiving unit 104 stores the changed set value in the HDD 50.

  The process of step S15 described above is executed by the display control unit 103 for a predetermined time. When the predetermined time has elapsed after executing the processing of step S15 described above (YES in step S17), that is, when the predetermined time has elapsed after blinking the image indicating the setting item, the display is performed. The control unit 103 performs the process of stopping the blinking display of the image and returning it to the same display mode as the other images in the setting item list D2 (step S18).

  As described above, according to the information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus, and the information processing program, even when the setting value of the setting item is changed by pressing the shortcut button, the setting value is changed by pressing the shortcut button. It is possible to inform the user of which position in the setting item list D2 the selected setting item is located.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made.

<Modification 1>
In the above-described embodiment, the operation reception unit 102 makes the display mode different from the other images in the setting item list D2 by blinking the image indicating the setting item associated with the shortcut button for which the selection operation has been received. Although the case has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case. For example, the display control unit 103 makes the display mode different from the other images in the setting item list D2 by increasing the size of the image indicating the setting item associated with the shortcut button that has received the selection operation. Good.

  Further, the display control unit 103 blinks not the entire image showing the setting items associated with the shortcut button for which the selection operation has been accepted, but the peripheral portion of the image so that other images in the setting item list D2 are displayed. The display mode may be different from.

<Modification 2>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation flow of the information processing apparatus and the image forming apparatus according to the second modification. It should be noted that processes having the same contents as the processes shown in FIG.

  During the process of step S13, that is, while the setting item list D2 is scroll-displayed, the operation receiving unit 102 performs a selection operation for one image of the plurality of images showing the setting items in the setting item list D2. If accepted (YES in step S20), display control unit 103 causes display unit 70 to display a screen for changing the setting value for the setting item shown in the selected one image (step S21). For example, when a selection operation is performed on the image d18 in the state illustrated in FIG. 8B, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 70 to display a screen for changing the setting value for the setting item “Paper Selection”. Then, the set value receiving unit 104 receives a change in the set value according to a user operation on the screen displayed in the process of step S21 (step S22).

  By performing the above processing, the user can change the setting value of the setting item other than the setting item associated with the shortcut button after performing the operation of selecting the shortcut button.

<Modification 3>
When the operation receiving unit 102 receives the selection operation for the shortcut button, the display control unit 103 performs the above-mentioned steps S13, S14, and S15 when the selection operation is a selection operation of a predetermined type. When the processing is performed and the selection operation is a selection operation other than the predetermined type, the processing of step S14 may be performed and the processing of steps S13 and S15 may not be performed.

  The above-mentioned predetermined type of selection operation corresponds to, for example, a long-touch operation which is a selection operation for a predetermined time or more, and a double-touch operation which is a selection operation performed twice in succession. When the shortcut button is selected by the long-touch operation or the double-touch operation, the display control unit 103 performs the above-described steps S13, S14, and S15. On the other hand, when the shortcut button is selected by the normal touch operation, the display control unit 103 performs the process of step S14 described above and does not perform the process of steps S13 and S15 described above. That is, the display control unit 103 associates the setting value shown in the image indicating the setting item with the shortcut button without scrolling the setting item list D2 or blinking the image in the setting item list D2. Only the process of changing to the set value that has been set. This process is similar to the process in the general image forming apparatus described above.

  As described above, according to the information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus, and the information processing program according to the modified example 3, by changing the operation when the user selects the shortcut button, one of the two types of display processing described above is performed. The setting screen D1 can be displayed by a desired display process.

<Modification 4>
In the above-described embodiment and modified example, the case where the shortcut button is associated with one predetermined setting item has been described, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case. The present invention can be applied even when the shortcut button is associated with a plurality of predetermined setting items.

  When the operation receiving unit 102 receives a selection operation for a shortcut button associated with a plurality of predetermined setting items, the display control unit 103 performs a plurality of predetermined settings in the process of step S13. The setting item list D2 is scroll-displayed on the display unit 70 until an image showing one setting item among the items is displayed on the setting screen D1.

  The display control unit 103 displays an image showing the next one setting item of the plurality of predetermined setting items on the setting screen D1 after a predetermined time has elapsed after executing the above processing. Until the setting is performed, the setting item list D2 is scrolled on the display unit 70. Then, the display control unit 103 repeatedly executes this processing until an image showing the last one setting item among the plurality of predetermined setting items is displayed in the setting screen D1.

  As described above, according to the information processing apparatus, the image forming apparatus, and the information processing program according to the modification 4, when the shortcut button is associated with the plurality of predetermined setting items, The user can be informed at which position in the setting item list D2 the determined setting item is located.

<Other modifications>
Further, the information processing program described in the above embodiments may be recorded in a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium such as a hard disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a semiconductor memory.

  In the above embodiment, the image forming apparatus is shown as an example of the apparatus including the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case. The information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can be provided in, for example, a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone, a personal computer, a television, and the like, in addition to the image forming apparatus.
