The control unit 11 controls each unit of the processing apparatus 10. The control unit 11 includes a processor including, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The CPU reads the program stored in the ROM or the storage unit 17 into the RAM and executes it. The CPU performs various controls using the RAM as a work area. The touch screen 12 includes a display unit 121 that displays an image and a touch panel 122 that is provided on the display surface of the display unit 121. The touch panel 122 is an example of an operation unit operated by a user. The communication unit 13 communicates with an external device. The communication unit 13 communicates via a telephone line and a communication line such as the Internet. The communication unit 13 includes a modem, for example.

  The start button 14 is an operator for instructing the processing apparatus 10 to start execution of processing. The start button 14 is an example of an operation unit operated by a user. The image reading unit 15 reads an image of a document and generates image data indicating the read image. The image reading unit 15 includes, for example, a scanner. The image forming unit 16 forms an image on a medium such as paper. The image forming unit 16 includes, for example, a printer that employs an electrophotographic system. The storage unit 17 stores data. The storage unit 17 stores, for example, a program executed by the control unit 11 and icon information 171. The icon information 171 is information related to icons displayed by the processing device 10. The icon is an example of an instruction receiving unit that is operated to instruct execution of a predetermined process. The icon information 171 includes, for example, processing executed in response to an icon operation, a screen on which an icon is displayed (an icon screen to be described later), and information indicating a position in the screen. The storage unit 17 includes, for example, a hard disk device.

  In the processing apparatus 10, when the copy function is used, the control unit 11 causes the image reading unit 15 to read an image of a document. Then, the control unit 11 causes the image forming unit 16 to form an image corresponding to the image data generated by the image reading unit 15 on the medium. When the scan function is used, the control unit 11 causes the image reading unit 15 to read an image of a document. Then, the control unit 11 transmits the image data generated by the image reading unit 15 via the communication unit 13. When the facsimile transmission function is used, the control unit 11 causes the image reading unit 15 to read the image of the document. Then, the control unit 11 transmits the image data generated by the image reading unit 15 by facsimile via the communication unit 13 and a telephone line (not shown).

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an icon screen displayed by the processing apparatus 10.
The icon screen is a screen on which one or a plurality of icons are arranged. Processing device 10 selectively displays icon screens SC1, SC2, and SC3. The icon screens SC1, SC2, and SC3 are divided into a total of 8 areas, 4 columns in the horizontal direction and 2 rows in the vertical direction, and icons can be arranged in each area. The presence / absence of icons to be arranged in each area and the types of icons to be arranged can be specified by the user.

  As shown in FIG. 2, icons I1 to I7 are arranged on the icon screen SC1, icons I8 to I14 are arranged on the icon screen SC2, and icons I15 to I17 are arranged on the icon screen SC3. The icons of the present embodiment include an icon with a circled “1” in the upper right corner and an icon that is not. The former icon is an icon for instructing the type of function to be used, the setting of parameters used for processing related to the function, and the start of execution of the processing by a single operation. Such an icon is hereinafter referred to as a “watch touch selection icon”. When the user performs an operation of designating (selecting) a one-touch selection icon, the processing device 10 starts executing a process corresponding to the icon.

  The icons other than the watch touch selection icon are not started to be executed simply by being operated by the user. When this icon is designated, for example, the screen is switched to a screen for setting parameters used for processing. After setting the parameters, the processing apparatus 10 starts executing the process in response to the operation of the start button 14.

When the processing apparatus 10 receives a swipe operation on the touch panel 122, the processing apparatus 10 transitions the icon screen being displayed to an icon screen not being displayed. The swipe operation is an operation in which the touch panel 122 is slid in one direction while an indicator (typically a finger) is touched. When an upper swipe operation is performed while the icon screen SC1 is being displayed, the processing device 10 transitions from the icon screen SC1 to the icon screen SC2. When an upper swipe operation is performed while the icon screen SC2 is being displayed, the processing device 10 transitions from the icon screen SC2 to the icon screen SC3. If a downward swipe operation is performed while the icon screen SC3 is being displayed, the processing device 10 transitions from the icon screen SC3 to the icon screen SC2. If a downward swipe operation is performed while the icon screen SC2 is being displayed, the processing device 10 transitions from the icon screen SC2 to the icon screen SC1.
Note that the operation for changing the screen may be an operation other than the swipe operation. The number of icon screens is not limited to three, and may be two or four or more.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the control unit 11 of the processing apparatus 10. The control unit 11 includes a display control unit 111, a reception unit 112, an execution unit 113, and an arrangement unit 114.
The display control unit 111 controls display on the display unit 121. The display control unit 111 selectively displays the icon screens SC1, SC2, and SC3 based on the icon information 171 stored in the storage unit 17. That is, any one icon screen is displayed on the display unit 121. Of the icon screens SC1, SC2, and SC3, one icon screen is an example of the first screen of the present invention, and an icon screen other than the one icon screen is an example of the second screen of the present invention.

  The accepting unit 112 accepts a user operation using the touch panel 122 and the start button 14. The accepting unit 112 accepts an operation for designating a position in the currently displayed icon screen, for example, using the touch panel 122. If there is an icon at the designated position, the accepting unit 112 accepts this operation as an operation for designating the icon. The reception unit 112 notifies the received operation to the display control unit 111, the execution unit 113, and the arrangement unit 114.

  The execution unit 113 executes processing using the communication unit 13, the image reading unit 15, and the image forming unit 16 in accordance with the operation received by the reception unit 112. When the operation for designating the one-touch selection icon is a short press operation, the execution unit 113 executes a process corresponding to the icon. The short pressing operation is an example of the first operation of the present invention. The short press operation is an operation in which a time when an indicator such as a finger touches the touch panel 122 continuously is less than a predetermined time. In addition, when an icon that is not for one-touch selection is pressed for a short time, the execution unit 113 executes processing corresponding to the icon when the operation of the start button 14 is accepted.

  The arrangement unit 114 arranges icons in the icon screen that is not being displayed in the icon screen that is being displayed. When the operation for designating the position in the currently displayed icon screen is a long press operation, the arranging unit 114 arranges the icon in the icon screen that is not being displayed according to the position. The long press operation is an example of the second operation of the present invention. The long press operation is an operation for a predetermined time or longer, in which the time when an indicator such as a finger touches the touch panel 122 continuously is longer than the short press. The process of arranging the icons is specifically a process of updating the icon information 171. The display control unit 111 changes the display of the icon screen according to the updated icon information 171.

4 and 5 are flowcharts showing processing performed by the processing apparatus 10.
The display control unit 111 displays any one icon screen on the display unit 121 (step S1). Here, it is assumed that the icon screen SC1 described in FIG. 2 is displayed. The accepting unit 112 accepts an operation for designating a position in the icon screen while the icon screen is being displayed (step S2).

  Next, the execution unit 113 determines whether the operation received in step S2 is a short press of an icon (step S3). When it determines with "YES" at step S3, the execution part 113 performs the process according to the icon designated by the short press (step S4). As shown in the upper part of FIG. 6, when the user presses the icon I4 with the finger F for a short time, the execution unit 113 executes processing corresponding to the icon I4. The icon I4 is a one-touch selection icon, and a process related to the scan function is executed. In this process, a parameter associated with the icon I4 is used. During the execution of this process, the display control unit 111 causes the display unit 121 to display a running screen SC11 indicating that the process is being executed, as shown in the lower part of FIG. If the short-pressed icon is not a one-touch selection icon, processing corresponding to the icon is executed when the start button 14 is pressed.

If “NO” is determined in the step S3, the arranging unit 114 determines whether or not the operation received in the step S2 is a long press of the icon (step S5). When it determines with "YES" at step S5, the arrangement | positioning part 114 determines whether the designated icon is a one-touch selection icon (step S6). When it determines with "YES" at step S6, the arrangement | positioning part 114 superimposes and displays the display area T1 on the icon screen being displayed (step S7). As shown in the upper part of FIG. 7, when the user long presses the icon I4 with the finger F, the arrangement unit 114 displays the display area T1 including one or more icons corresponding to the icon I4 on the icon screen SC1. The placement unit 114 places all the one-touch selection icons in the icon screen that is not being displayed in the display area T1. That is, in step S7, the arrangement unit 114 arranges the icons I8, I9, I10, I11, I15, and I16 arranged on the icon screens SC2 and SC3 in the display area T1. Thus, the icon specified by the user and the icon arranged in the display area T1 have the same attribute in that both are icons for one touch.
Here, the display area T1 is an area imitating a balloon, but is not limited thereto. For example, a window may be used.

  Next, the arrangement unit 114 determines whether or not the finger is released from the touch panel 122 (step S8). If “NO” is determined in step S8, that is, if the finger is still touching the touch panel 122, the placement unit 114 returns to step S7 and continues displaying the display region T1.

  If “YES” in step S8, that is, if it is determined that the finger has been released from the touch panel 122, the execution unit 113 determines whether or not an icon exists at the position where the finger has been released (step S9). 7, it is assumed that the user's finger F moves to the position of the icon I16 in the display area T1 while touching the touch panel 122, and the finger F is released at that position. In this case, the execution unit 113 determines “YES” in step S9, and executes a process corresponding to the icon I16 (step S10). That is, the operation of releasing the finger from the touch panel 122 is an operation of designating an icon existing at the released position. Here, monochrome A4 copy is executed. During the execution of this process, the display control unit 111 causes the display unit 121 to display a running screen SC12 indicating that the process is being executed, as shown in the lower part of FIG.

  If “NO” is determined in the step S9, that is, if there is no icon at the position where the finger is removed, the placement unit 114 ends the display of the display area T1. And the process of the processing apparatus 10 is returned to step S1.

  In step S6, when the arrangement unit 114 determines that the designated icon is not a one-touch selection icon (step S6; NO), the display area T2 is superimposed on the displayed icon screen (step S11). . As shown in the upper part of FIG. 8, when the user presses and holds the icon I1 with the finger F, the arrangement unit 114 displays the display area T2 including one or more icons corresponding to the icon I1 on the icon screen SC1. In the present embodiment, when an icon that is not a one-touch selection icon is pressed for a long time, the placement unit 114 displays an icon in the icon screen that is not being displayed and has the same function as the long-pressed icon. Arranged in the display area T2. That is, in this step S11, the arrangement unit 114 arranges the icons I8, I10, I11, and I16 arranged on the icon screens SC2 and SC3 in the display area T2. The icons I8, I10, I11, and I16 are all icons for instructing execution of processing related to the copy function. Thus, the icon designated by the user and the icon arranged in the display area T2 have the same attribute in terms of the function to be used.

  Next, the arrangement unit 114 determines whether or not the finger is released from the touch panel 122 (step S12). If it is determined “NO” in step S12, that is, if the finger is still touching the touch panel 122, the placement unit 114 returns to step S11 and continues displaying the display region T2.

  If “YES” in step S12, that is, if it is determined that the finger is released from the touch panel 122, the execution unit 113 proceeds to step S9. That is, the execution unit 113 determines whether or not an icon is present at the position where the finger is released. If an icon is present at the position, the execution unit 113 executes processing corresponding to the icon (steps S9 and S10). . As shown in the middle part of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the user's finger F moves to the position of the icon I11 in the display area T2 while touching the touch panel 122, and the finger F is released at that position. In this case, the execution unit 113 executes processing related to the copy function. In this process, a parameter associated with the icon I11 is used. During execution of this process, the display control unit 111 causes the display unit 121 to display a running screen SC13 indicating that the process is being executed, as shown in the lower part of FIG.

  If “NO” is determined in the step S5, the arranging unit 114 determines whether or not an operation for designating an area in the currently displayed icon screen has been received (step S13). The operation of designating an area in the icon screen is an operation of drawing a closed graphic while the user touches the touch panel 122 with a finger. The closed figure here does not have to be a strictly closed figure, but may be a figure that can be regarded as a closed figure. For example, an operation of drawing a circle on the touch panel 122 is applicable. When it determines with "YES" at step S13, the arrangement | positioning part 114 superimposes and displays the display area T3 on the icon screen being displayed (step S14). As shown in the upper part of FIG. 9, it is assumed that the user performs an operation of drawing a graphic represented by the locus L so as to surround the icons I1 and I2 with the finger F. In this case, the arrangement unit 114 arranges one or more icons corresponding to the icons I1 and I2 surrounded by the locus L in the display area T3. Here, the placement unit 114 places an icon having the same attribute as at least one of the icons I1 and I2 surrounded by the locus L in the display area T3. The attribute may be any attribute of a one-touch selection icon and a function to be used. When the icon I1 that uses the copy function and the icon I2 that uses the facsimile transmission function are surrounded by the locus L, the placement unit 114 displays, for example, an icon that uses the copy function or the facsimile transmission function in the display area T3. To place. Specifically, the arrangement unit 114 arranges icons I8, I9, I10, I11, and I16 in the display area T3.

  Next, the arrangement unit 114 determines whether or not the finger is released from the touch panel 122 (step S15). If it is determined “NO” in step S15, that is, if the finger is still touching the touch panel 122, the placement unit 114 returns to step S14 and continues displaying the display region T3.

If “YES” in step S15, that is, if it is determined that the finger has been released from the touch panel 122, the execution unit 113 proceeds to step S9. That is, the execution unit 113 determines whether or not an icon is present at the position where the finger is released. If an icon is present at the position, the execution unit 113 executes processing corresponding to the icon (steps S9 and S10). . As shown in the lower part of FIG. 9, it is assumed that the user's finger F moves to the position of the icon I10 in the display area T3 while touching the touch panel 122, and the finger F is released at that position. In this case, the execution unit 113 executes reduced copy. Even during the execution of this process, the display control unit 111 causes the display unit 121 to display a screen (not shown) indicating that the process is being executed.
In step S <b> 14, the placement unit 114 may place an icon having an attribute common to all of one or more icons surrounded by the trajectory.

If “NO” is determined in the step S13, the process of the processing device 10 is returned to the step S1.
The placement unit 114 displays the icons of the icon screens SC1 and SC3 during the display of the icon screen SC2, and the icons of the icon screens SC1 and SC2 during the display of the icon screen SC3. Is displayed.

  The significance of providing the one-touch selection icon is that it is possible to instruct the start of the execution of the process with a single operation. However, when an icon of a user's purpose is arranged on an icon screen that is not being displayed, the user may need to perform an operation for changing the icon screen in order to select this icon. If this operation burden is large, the significance of providing the one-touch selection icon may be lost. On the other hand, the processing apparatus 10 displays the icon in the icon screen which is not being displayed so that it can be operated on the icon screen being displayed. Therefore, in order for the user to specify the target icon, it is not necessary to perform an operation for changing the icon screen. In addition, the user can find an icon in the icon screen that is not being displayed and has an attribute common to that of the icon specified by long press without changing the displayed icon screen.

[Modification]
The present invention may be implemented in a form different from the above-described embodiment. Moreover, you may combine each of the modification shown below.
