  The setting value receiving unit 104 receives a change in setting values for a plurality of setting items in accordance with a user operation received by the operation receiving unit 102 and stores the changed setting values in the HDD 50.

  Next, the operation of the image forming apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of the display input device according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the setting item registration screen D3 displayed on the display 71. FIGS. 6A to 6C, 7 </ b> A, and 7 </ b> B are diagrams illustrating examples of setting screens displayed on the display 71.

  First, the control unit 101 of the image forming apparatus 1 determines whether or not to shift to a setting value change mode in which setting values are changed for a plurality of setting items (step S10). When a button for shifting to the setting value change mode is displayed on the display 71, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives a touch operation that touches a position on the touch panel 72 where the button is displayed, Moves to the setting value change mode. Further, when a dedicated key for calling the setting value change mode is provided in the operation key unit 73, when the dedicated key is pressed, the mode shifts to the setting value change mode.

  When the mode is changed to the setting value change mode (YES in step S10), the display control unit 103 has a plurality of setting items whose setting values can be changed in the image forming apparatus 1, as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the display 71 (step S11).

  Then, the display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation receiving unit 102 has received selection of one setting item among the plurality of setting items by a touch operation in a state where the setting screen D1 is displayed (step S12). .

  When the selection of one selection item is accepted (YES in step S12), the display control unit 103 causes the display display 71 to perform a display visually recognized by the user in a state where the setting screen D2 overlaps the setting screen D1 ( Step S13). At this time, the display control unit 103 receives the selection in the process of step S12 in the region d5 where the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting value lists d3 and d4 intersect. Is displayed. Further, the display control unit 103 displays a plurality of setting values for the setting item displayed in the area d5 in the first setting value list d2. In the example shown in FIG. 3B and FIG. 3C, “original size” is selected as the setting item, and therefore the first setting value list d2 can be changed in the “original size” setting item. A plurality of set values “A3”, “A4”, “B3”, and the like are displayed. In the area d5, “A4”, which is the current setting value in the setting item “original size”, is displayed.

  The display control unit 103 also displays a plurality of setting values for the specific setting item received by the setting item registration unit 105 in the second setting value lists d3 and d4. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the setting item “page aggregation” is registered in the second setting value list d3, and the setting item “discharge destination” is registered in the second setting value list d4. In the set value list d3, a plurality of set values “2in1”, “4in1”, and the like that can be changed in the “page aggregation” setting item are displayed, and in the second set value list d4, in the “discharge destination” setting item. A plurality of changeable setting values “tray A” and “tray B” are displayed (see FIG. 3C).

  The display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation reception unit 102 has received a vertical scroll operation in a state where the setting screen D2 is displayed (step S14).

  When the scroll operation in the vertical direction is received (YES in step S14), the display control unit 103 causes the setting item list d1 to be scrolled, and the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting. A plurality of setting values for the setting items displayed in the area d5 where the value lists d3 and d4 intersect are displayed in the first setting value list d2 (step S15). In the example shown in FIG. 6A, as a result of accepting a scroll operation in the vertical direction from the state shown in FIG. 3C and scrolling the setting item list d1, the setting item “density” is displayed in the area d5. It is displayed. In this case, the setting value shown in the first setting value list d2 is switched from the setting value for the “document size” setting item to the setting value for the “density” setting item.

  Further, the display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation receiving unit 102 has received a horizontal scroll operation in a state where the setting screen D2 is displayed (step S16).

  When a horizontal scroll operation is received (YES in step S16), the display control unit 103 scrolls and displays the first set value list d2 (step S17). In the example shown in FIG. 6B, a scroll operation in the horizontal direction from the state shown in FIG. 6A is accepted, and the first set value list d2 is scroll-displayed. In the area d5 where the set value list d2 and the second set value lists d3 and d4 intersect, “+1” is displayed as the set value of the “density” setting item. In the example shown in FIG. 6C, a scroll operation in the horizontal direction is accepted from the state shown in FIG. 3C, and the first setting value list d2 is scroll-displayed. As a result, the setting item list d1 and A setting value “A5” is displayed as a setting value of the setting item “original size” in an area d5 where the first setting value list d2 intersects.

  Further, the display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation receiving unit 102 has received a scroll operation in an oblique direction in a state where the setting screen D2 is displayed (step S18).

  When the scroll operation in the oblique direction is received (YES in step S18), the display control unit 103 scrolls and displays the second set value lists d3 and d4 (step S19). In the example shown in FIG. 7A, a scroll operation in the oblique direction is accepted from the state shown in FIG. 6C, and the second set value list d4 is scroll-displayed. "Tray A" is displayed as the setting value of the setting item "."

  The display control unit 103 circulates and displays the setting items and setting values when scrolling the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting value lists d3 and d4. . In the example shown in FIG. 3C, the “Page Aggregation” setting item is displayed in the top column of the setting item list d1, and “Ejection destination” is displayed in the bottom column of the setting item list d1. Setting items are displayed. When a vertical scroll operation is accepted from this state, the setting items in the setting item list d1 are displayed in a circulating manner, and as shown in FIG. 6A, in the top column of the setting item list d1. Displays the setting item of “Destination”.

  Then, the display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation receiving unit 102 has received a predetermined set value confirming operation (step S20). The predetermined set value confirming operation is, for example, an operation (double touch operation) in which the same position is touched twice within a predetermined period at any position in the area on the touch panel 72.

  When the set value confirming operation is accepted (YES in step S20), the set value accepting unit 104 has an area d5 where the set item list d1, the first set value list d2, and the second set value lists d3 and d4 intersect. The setting value of the setting item displayed in is received as the changed setting value, and the setting value is stored in the HDD 50 (step S21).

  In the above description, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a predetermined set value confirming operation, the set value accepting unit 104 accepts the setting value of the setting item displayed in the area d5 as the changed setting value. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case. Even if there is no special operation such as a double touch operation, a setting item displayed in an area d5 where the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting value lists d3 and d4 intersect by scrolling operation. When the set value is changed and thereafter a predetermined time has elapsed, the set value receiving unit 104 may receive the set value as the changed set value.

  After the process of step S21, the display control unit 103 determines whether or not the operation receiving unit 102 has received a predetermined set value change end operation (step S22). The predetermined setting value change end operation is, for example, an operation of touching a position on the touch panel 72 where the setting screen D2 is not displayed.

  When the set value change ending operation is not accepted (NO in step S22), the process returns to step S14. On the other hand, when the setting value change end operation is accepted (YES in step S22), the setting screen whose setting value has been changed and the display form are displayed differently from the setting items other than the setting item. It is displayed on the display 71 (step S23). Thereby, the setting item in which the setting value has been changed by the scroll operation in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction can be notified in an easy-to-understand manner for the user. In the example shown in FIG. 7B, from the state shown in FIG. 3A, the setting item “document size” is set from the setting value “A4” to the setting value “A5”, and the setting item “density” is set. The value “0” is changed from the setting value “+1” to the setting value “+1”, and the setting value “tray A” is changed from the setting value “tray A” to the setting value “tray C”.

  As described above, the display input device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the display display 71, the touch panel 72 disposed on the front surface of the display display 71, the operation reception unit 102 that receives a user operation on the touch panel 72, and the operation In response to a user operation received by the receiving unit 102, a display control unit 103 that controls a display operation by the display display 71, and in accordance with a user operation received by the operation receiving unit 102, setting values of a plurality of setting items are set. A setting value receiving unit 104 that receives a change is provided. Then, the display control unit 103 enumerates the setting item list d1 in which the setting items are enumerated along the first direction on the display display 71, along the second direction where the setting value is different from the first direction. First setting value list d2 and second setting value lists d3 and d4 in which the setting values are listed along a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction, respectively. When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a scroll operation in the first direction, the setting item list d1 is scrolled and displayed in an area intersecting the first set value list d2. When a plurality of setting values for the set item is displayed in the first setting value list d2, and the operation receiving unit 102 receives a scroll operation in the second direction, the first setting value list d2 When scroll display is performed and the operation receiving unit 102 receives a scroll operation in the third direction, the second setting value list d3 in which a plurality of setting values for a specific setting item among the plurality of setting items is displayed. , D4 are scroll-displayed. Further, the setting value receiving unit 104 receives, as a changed setting value, the setting value displayed in the area intersecting the setting item list d1 by the scroll operation received by the operation receiving unit 102.

  According to said structure, it becomes possible to receive the change of the setting value of a several setting item on one setting screen. Even when changing the setting value of another setting item after changing the setting value of a certain setting item, the user returns to the setting item selection screen again. Since it is not necessary to reselect a desired setting item and the setting value can be changed on the same setting screen, the user convenience is excellent. Further, the operation required for the user is only an intuitive operation such as a scrolling operation in two directions, and the setting values of a plurality of setting items can be changed with a simpler operation than before.

  In the above configuration, a plurality of setting values for a specific setting item among the plurality of setting items are displayed in the second setting value lists d3 and d4. If setting items that frequently change the setting value are registered in advance, the setting value can be changed only by the scrolling operation in the oblique direction without performing the user operation for selecting the desired setting item by the scrolling operation in the vertical direction. The setting values of a plurality of setting items can be changed with a simpler operation.

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

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, when selection of a setting item is accepted by a touch operation, the setting screen D2 is set at the center position on the display display 71. Although the case where the display visually recognized by the user in the state of being overlaid on is described, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case.

  FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams illustrating an example of a setting screen displayed on the display 71 of the display input device according to the first modification. In the example shown in FIG. 8A, the operation reception unit 102 receives selection of a “density” setting item from among a plurality of setting items by a touch operation. At this time, the display control unit 103 intersects the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting value lists d3 and d4 at the position where the “density” setting item for which selection has been received is displayed. The setting screen D2 is displayed on the display 71 (see FIG. 8B). Since an area d5 where the setting item list d1, the first setting value list d2, and the second setting value lists d3 and d4 intersect is displayed at a position touched by the user on the display 71, it is displayed after the touch operation. There is no need to release the finger from the display 71, and the setting value of the setting item can be changed by performing a scrolling operation from that position, resulting in excellent operability.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 7B, a radial setting screen D2 including the setting item list d1 and the setting value list d2 is displayed on the display 71. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this case.

  FIGS. 9A to 9C are diagrams illustrating an example of a setting screen displayed on the display 71 of the display input device according to the second modification. When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts selection of one setting item from among a plurality of setting items by a touch operation as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the display control unit 103 sets as shown in FIG. 3 (C). Instead of causing the display to be visually recognized by the user with the entire screen D2 overlapping the setting screen D1, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the setting item list d1 and the first setting are displayed. Only the area d5 where the value list d2 and the second set value lists d3 and d4 intersect is displayed on the display 71.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts selection of the setting item of “original size” by a touch operation, the display control unit 103 displays “ The setting item “original size” and the current setting value “A4” are displayed. In this state, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a scroll operation in the horizontal direction, the display control unit 103 sequentially displays each set value of “original size” in the area d5. Then, the setting value receiving unit 104 receives the setting value of the setting item displayed in the area d5 as the changed setting value when the operation receiving unit 102 receives the setting value confirmation operation.
