Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for displaying a shortcut icon associated with a shortcut function.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which when a one-click start key is pressed, reading of a document is started without requiring further user input operation, and an image of the read document is transmitted to a destination. Yes.

JP 2007-068053 A

The technique described in Patent Document 1 is convenient when it is desired to quickly execute the function associated with the one-click start key.
On the other hand, depending on the usage status or the user, when executing the function associated with the 1-click start key, the user may want to check the content of the function, or temporarily change the set execution condition (for example, destination) If you want to do this, it can happen. However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot cope with such a request.

  In order to respond to the above request, for example, when a 1-click start key is pressed, the function is not immediately executed, various setting values are displayed once, and then a user input operation is further performed. It is conceivable to execute the function. However, such a method is inconvenient for the user who wants to quickly execute the function because the user needs to perform an input operation after pressing the one-click start key.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a user-friendly display for both a user who wants to quickly execute a specific function and a user who wants to check the content of the specific function on the screen before execution. An object is to provide a control device.

  The display control device of the present invention includes a display unit, an input unit, and a control unit. The control unit executes a first display process. The first display process is a process of displaying a selection screen including at least one shortcut icon on the display unit.

  The at least one shortcut icon is set as a first shortcut icon or a second shortcut icon. The first shortcut icon and the second shortcut icon are associated with a shortcut function for executing a specific function under a specific execution condition.

  For the first shortcut icon, after the first shortcut icon is selected through the input unit, the associated shortcut function is executed without performing a specific input operation through the input unit. It is set as follows.

  The second shortcut icon has an associated shortcut function in response to a specific input operation being performed through the input unit after the second shortcut icon has been selected through the input unit. It is set to run.

The control unit further executes a second display process and a switching process.
The second display process is a process of displaying a switching button on the display unit on which the selection screen including the first shortcut icon or the second shortcut icon is displayed.

  The switching process is a process executed in response to the selection operation of the switching button via the input unit, and includes at least one of the first switching process and the second switching process. The first switching process includes switching the first shortcut icon included in the selection screen to the second shortcut icon. The second switching process includes switching the second shortcut icon included in the selection screen to the first shortcut icon.

  According to the display control device configured as described above, the user can switch the first shortcut icon to the second shortcut icon and execute a registered specific function. Accordingly, for example, the specific function can be executed after the user confirms the execution condition of the registered specific function.

  Conversely, the second shortcut icon can be switched to the first shortcut icon to execute a specific registered function. As a result, the user can quickly execute a specific function associated with the shortcut icon that was originally set as the second shortcut icon without requiring a further input operation.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a display control device that is easy to use for both a user who wants to quickly execute a specific function and a user who wants to check the content of the specific function on the screen before execution.

(1-3) Description of Standby Screen The standby screen 21 is a tab-type screen having a plurality of tabs. A plurality of tabs are individually associated with tab screens. On the standby screen 21, a tab screen corresponding to one selected tab is displayed.

  The storage unit 12 stores tab information for each tab. Each tab information includes information indicating various images included in the corresponding tab screen and processing executed when various input operations are performed via the input unit 14 in a state where the corresponding tab screen is displayed. Includes information to show.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, a maximum of four tabs are displayed on the standby screen 21. In the present embodiment, the total number of tabs Nt is larger than 4, which is the maximum number of tabs that can be simultaneously displayed on the standby screen 21. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab 31, the second tab 32, the third tab 33 and the fourth tab 34 are displayed on the standby screen 21.

  Each tab displays the name of the tab. The selected tab is displayed differently from the other tabs. As an aspect different from the other tabs, for example, a color different from that of the other tabs, a size of the tab larger than that of the other tabs, a specific decoration on the tabs, and the like can be considered. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab 31 whose tab name is “basic function 1” is selected, and the first tab 31 is displayed in a different color from the other tabs.

  The standby screen 21 includes one tab screen (first tab screen to Nt tab screen) corresponding to each of all Nt tabs from the first tab to the Nt tab to one selected tab. The corresponding tab screen is displayed. FIG. 2 shows an example in which the first tab screen 40 associated with the first tab 31 in the selected state is displayed.

  A plurality of icons are arranged on each tab screen. In the present embodiment, eight icons are arranged on one tab screen. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the first icon 41 to the eighth icon 48 are arranged on the first tab screen 40. The specific type of each icon can be changed as will be described later.

  In the first tab screen 40 illustrated in FIG. 2, the first icon 41 is a fax icon, the second icon 42 is a copy icon, the third icon 43 is a scan icon, and the fourth icon 44 is not registered. The fifth icon 45 is a setting menu icon, the sixth icon 46 is a security print icon, the seventh icon 47 is a 2 in 1 ID copy icon, and the eighth icon 48 is an unregistered icon.

  On the standby screen 21, a left button 26 and a right button 27 are displayed near both ends of the area where the tab is displayed. The arrangement order of the Nt tabs in the left-right direction is determined in advance. When other tabs are arranged on the left side of the currently displayed four tabs, by tapping the left button 26, the tabs to be displayed are scrolled to the right side to thereby display the currently displayed 4 tabs. Tabs arranged on the left side of one tab can be displayed. On the other hand, when other tabs are arranged on the right side of the currently displayed four tabs, by tapping the right button 27, the tab to be displayed is scrolled to the left side to display the current tab. Tabs arranged on the right side of the four tabs can be displayed.

  To switch from the currently displayed tab screen to another tab screen, the tab corresponding to the switching destination tab screen may be tapped. When a tab other than the currently selected tab is tapped, the tapped tab is selected, and the standby screen 21 displays a tab screen corresponding to the newly selected tab.

  Each icon arranged on each tab screen is associated with a specific process. When one of the icons is tapped by the user, a specific process associated with the icon is executed.

  The icons that can be arranged on the tab screen of the standby screen 21 are roughly classified into three types. Specifically, there are a function execution icon, a setting icon, and an unregistered icon. The function execution icon is an icon in which a function to be executed for executing any one of the plurality of prescribed functions of the image processing apparatus 10 is registered. That is, a specific process for realizing a registered function is associated with the function execution icon. When the function execution icon is tapped, the registered function is realized by executing the associated specific process.

  The setting icon is an icon in which a specific item to be set or a list of a plurality of items for setting various setting items are registered. That is, the setting icon is associated with specific processing for setting various setting items. When the setting icon is tapped, a specific process associated with the setting icon is executed, thereby realizing setting of various setting items.

  The unregistered icon is an icon in which no functions and setting items are registered, and is an icon that allows a user to newly register an arbitrary function or setting item. That is, the unregistered icon is associated with a specific process accompanied by a user input operation for newly registering a function execution icon of an arbitrary function or a setting icon of an arbitrary setting item. When an unregistered icon is tapped, a specific process associated with the unregistered icon is executed, whereby new registration as a function execution icon or a setting icon is realized.

The function execution icons are further classified into two types: prescribed function icons and shortcut icons. The “shortcut” is hereinafter abbreviated as “SC”.
The prescribed function icon is used to execute one of a plurality of prescribed functions such as a scan function, a print function, a copy function, a fax function, a web service function, and a convenient tool function that the image processing apparatus 10 has. It is an icon that registers the target function. Various setting values registered in the prescribed function icon are predetermined prescribed values. However, the specified value can be checked and changed by the user when the corresponding function is executed by tapping the specified function icon.

  The SC function is registered in the SC icon. The SC function is a function arbitrarily registered by the user. The SC function is configured such that a specific function preset by the user among the plurality of prescribed functions is executed under a specific execution condition preset by the user.

  At least one of the defined function icon and the setting icon may be arranged in advance on at least one tab screen when the image processing apparatus 10 is shipped.

  Basically, the SC icon is not an icon arranged in advance from the time of shipment of the image processing apparatus 10, but instead of the unregistered icon when the user arbitrarily performs a registration operation on the unregistered icon. It is an icon arranged. The registration operation includes an operation for setting a specific function to be executed and an operation for setting a specific execution condition when executing the specific function. Further, the specific execution conditions include setting values of various setting items that are necessary when a specific function is executed. For example, when registering the SC icon for the scan function, specific setting conditions for the scan function include, for example, setting values of various setting items such as the size of the original and the resolution when reading the original.

  That is, the default value of each setting value is determined in advance for the specified function icon, while the SC icon performs various executions such as the function to be executed and the setting value for executing the function. Conditions can be set and registered arbitrarily by the user.

  The SC icon is further classified into two types, a normal SC icon and a one-touch SC icon. The normal SC icon is configured such that when the normal SC icon is tapped, the registered SC function is not immediately started, but at least one input operation by the user is requested. SC icon.

  In the present embodiment, when the normal SC icon is tapped, a predetermined confirmation screen is displayed. The user can confirm or change the setting value of the SC function via the confirmation screen. When a specific execution start operation is performed by the user after the confirmation screen is displayed, the registered SC function is started. The specific execution start operation is, for example, tapping an OK button displayed on the confirmation screen.

  In the standby screen 21 shown in the upper right of FIG. 3, the eighth icon 48 is a normal SC icon. The normal SC icon includes a normal SC mark 56. Here, it is assumed that, for example, the SC function of the fax function is registered in the normal SC icon. In this case, when this normal SC icon is tapped, the registered SC function is executed.

  Specifically, the registered function is not immediately started, but first, the confirmation screen 100 shown in the lower right of FIG. 3 is displayed. On the confirmation screen 100, registered execution conditions of the SC function, for example, a facsimile transmission destination number 101 are displayed. The user can confirm various setting values of the registered SC function via the confirmation screen 100.

  A setting change button 106 is displayed on the confirmation screen 100. When the setting change button 106 is tapped, the screen is switched to a screen where the execution condition of the registered SC function can be changed, and the execution condition can be temporarily changed via the screen. For example, the facsimile transmission destination number 101 can be temporarily changed. It should be noted that it is possible to permanently change the execution condition itself of the registered SC function, not a temporary change.

  A start button 107 is displayed on the confirmation screen 100. When the start button 107 is tapped, the registered SC function is executed. At this time, if the execution condition is temporarily changed, the function is executed according to the temporarily changed execution condition.

  On the standby screen 21 shown on the left in FIG. 3, the eighth icon 48 is a one-touch SC icon. The one-touch SC icon includes a one-touch SC mark 51. When this one-touch SC icon is tapped, the registered SC function is executed without requiring a further input operation by the user.

  When the user creates an SC icon, that is, when an SC function is registered in an unregistered icon, the user can arbitrarily select whether to create a normal SC icon or a one-touch SC icon.

  In addition, when the SC icon is displayed on the standby screen 21, the user recognizes whether the SC icon is a one-touch SC icon or a normal SC icon based on a mark included in the SC icon. be able to.

  A text can be added to each icon. The text added to the icon may be, for example, a predetermined text determined in advance according to the registered function, or may be arbitrarily determined by the user.

(1-4) SC Icon Type Switching Function The image processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment uses the SC icon type (hereinafter referred to as “SC type”) as the SC type registered by the user (hereinafter referred to as “permanent”). It is configured such that it can be temporarily switched to another type (hereinafter also referred to as “temporary type”).

  That is, for example, an SC icon whose permanent type is a one-touch SC icon can be temporarily switched to a normal SC icon. In this case, the SC type of the normal SC icon after switching is a temporary type.

  Conversely, an SC icon whose permanent type is a normal SC icon can be temporarily switched to a one-touch SC icon. In this case, the SC type of the one-touch SC icon after switching is a temporary type.

  As shown in the left of FIG. 3, when the one-touch SC icon is included in the standby screen 21, the one-touch button 50 is displayed at a specific position (for example, the upper right end) on the standby screen 21.

  Note that the SC type of the one-touch SC icon as the eighth icon 48 on the left in FIG. 3 is a permanent type. That is, the SC icon registered as a one-touch SC icon at the time of registration by the user. Further, the SC type of the normal SC icon as the seventh icon 47 and the SC type of the one-touch SC icon as the eighth icon 48 on the left in FIG. 4 are both permanent types.

As shown in the upper right of FIG. 3, when the normal SC icon is included in the standby screen 21, the normal button 55 is displayed at a specific position (for example, the upper right end) on the standby screen 21.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the one-touch SC icon and the normal SC icon are included in the standby screen 21, the one-touch / normal button 60 is displayed at a specific position (for example, the upper right end) on the standby screen 21.

  The one-touch button 50, the normal button 55, and the one-touch / normal button 60 have different designs. Therefore, the user can recognize which type of SC icon is displayed by looking at the displayed button.

  Further, these buttons 50, 55, 60 are not dependent on the SC type of the displayed SC icon, and are displayed depending on whether the displayed SC icon is a one-touch SC icon or a normal SC aion. Is done.

  Even when a plurality of SC icons are displayed and both the one-touch SC icon and the normal SC icon are included, if the plurality of SC icons are only one or a plurality of SC pairs, None of the one-touch button 50, the normal button 55, and the one-touch / normal button 60 is displayed.

  The SC pair means a combination of one one-touch SC icon and one normal SC icon, which has the same registered SC function. That is, the registered specific function and the specific execution condition are both the same, and the function executed when tapped is the same, but the process until the function is started is different. It is a combination of icons.

  FIG. 5 shows a case where exactly the same SC function is registered in the seventh icon 47 and the eighth icon 48, but the seventh icon 47 is a normal SC icon while the eighth icon 48 is a one-touch SC icon. Is illustrated. The example of FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the plurality of displayed SC icons are only one set of SC pairs. In this way, when the plurality of SC icons are only one or more SC pairs, none of the one-touch button 50, the normal button 55, and the one-touch / normal button 60 is displayed as shown in FIG.

  When the one-touch button 50 is displayed on the standby screen 21 as shown in the left of FIG. 3, when the one-touch button 50 is tapped, an eighth icon 48 is displayed as a permanent type one-touch SC icon as shown in the upper right of FIG. Is temporarily switched to a temporary type normal SC icon.

  The user can temporarily switch the one-touch SC icon to the normal SC icon by tapping the one-touch button 50. When the user executes the SC function registered in the one-touch SC icon, the user temporarily checks the registered function type and execution condition by temporarily switching to the normal SC icon, or temporarily sets the execution condition. Can be changed.

  After the one-touch SC icon of the permanent type is switched to the normal SC icon of the temporary type by tapping the one-touch button 50, if a certain period of time has passed without the normal SC icon being tapped, the one-touch SC icon of the permanent type is displayed. Switch to

  When the normal SC icon switched to the temporary type is tapped, the function is executed through the further input operation by the user as described above. After the execution is completed, the screen returns to the standby screen immediately before the start of execution. That is, as the eighth icon 48, the temporary type normal SC icon is continuously displayed. Then, after the function execution is completed, when a certain time elapses without the normal SC icon being tapped, it is switched to a permanent type one-touch SC icon.

  Contrary to the above example, when the normal SC icon of the permanent type is displayed, when the normal button 55 is tapped, the normal SC icon of the permanent type is temporarily changed to the one-touch SC icon of the temporary type. Switch.

  In this case as well, after switching to a temporary type one-touch SC icon, if the one-touch SC icon has not been tapped for a certain period of time, it is switched to a permanent type normal SC icon.

  Further, when the one-touch SC icon switched to the temporary type is tapped, the function is executed without requiring further input operation by the user as described above, but after the execution is completed, the screen returns to the standby screen immediately before the start of execution. . That is, the temporary touch one-touch SC icon is displayed again. Then, after the function execution is completed, when a certain time elapses without the one-touch SC icon being tapped, the permanent SC icon is switched to the permanent type SC icon.

  As shown in the left of FIG. 4, when the permanent type normal SC icon is displayed as the seventh icon 47 and the permanent type one-touch SC icon is displayed as the eighth icon 48 on the standby screen 21, the one-touch / normal When the button 60 is tapped, each SC icon is switched to the temporary type.

  Specifically, as shown on the right in FIG. 4, the seventh icon 47 is switched from the permanent type normal SC icon to the temporary type one-touch SC icon, and the eighth icon 48 is changed from the permanent type one-touch SC icon to the temporary type normal SC icon. Switch to icon.

  As a result, the user can quickly execute the SC function registered in the seventh icon 47 by reducing the input operation, and conversely the SC function registered in the eighth icon 48. It is possible to execute the program after confirming the execution conditions or changing a part thereof as necessary.

  When the one-touch / normal button 60 is tapped and the one-touch SC icon for the permanent type and the normal SC icon are switched to the SC icons of different temporary types, and a certain time elapses without any SC icon being tapped. Each SC icon is switched to the original permanent type SC icon.

  When any of the SC icons switched to the temporary type is tapped, the tapped SC icon is executed. After the execution is completed, the screen returns to the standby screen immediately before the start of execution. When a certain time has elapsed without any SC icon being tapped after the function execution is completed, each SC icon is switched to the original permanent type SC icon.

(1-5) Display Control Process Next, the display control process executed by the control unit 11 in order to realize the switching of the SC icon described above will be described with reference to FIGS. After starting, the control unit 11 performs a specific initialization process, and then executes the display control process shown in FIGS.

  When starting the display control process, the control unit 11 reads the tab information of the selected tab from the storage unit 12 in S110. In S120, the standby screen 21 including the tab screen of the selected tab is displayed based on the tab information read in S110.

  In S130, it is determined whether the displayed standby screen 21 includes an SC icon. If the SC icon is not included in S130, the process proceeds to S260. If the SC icon is included in S130, the process proceeds to S140.

  In S140, it is determined whether or not the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is only the one-touch SC icon. If there is only the one-touch SC icon, the process proceeds to S150.

  In S150, the one-touch button 50 is displayed on the standby screen 21. In S160, it is determined whether or not the one-touch button 50 has been tapped. If the one-touch button 50 has not been tapped, the process proceeds to S260. When the one touch button 50 is tapped, the process proceeds to S170.

  In S170, the displayed one-touch SC icon is switched to the normal SC icon. In the process of S170, the permanent type one-touch SC icon is switched to the temporary type normal SC icon, and the one-touch SC icon in the state switched to the temporary type is changed to the permanent type normal SC icon. Switching processing is performed. By the process of S170, all the SC icons included in the standby screen 21 are switched to normal SC icons.

In S180, the one-touch button 50 displayed on the standby screen 21 is switched to the normal button 55.
In S190, when there is an SC icon that has been switched from the permanent one-touch SC icon to the temporary normal SC icon in the process of S170, timing is individually started for each of the temporary SC icons.

If the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is not only the one-touch SC icon in S140, the process proceeds to S200.
In S200, it is determined whether or not the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is only the normal SC icon. If there are only normal SC icons, the process proceeds to S210.

  In S210, the normal button 55 is displayed on the standby screen 21. In S220, it is determined whether or not the normal button 55 has been tapped. When the normal button 55 is tapped, the process proceeds to S230.

  In S230, the displayed normal SC icon is switched to the one-touch SC icon. In the process of S230, the permanent type normal SC icon is switched to the temporary type one-touch SC icon, and the normal type SC icon in the state switched to the temporary type is changed to the permanent type one-touch SC icon. Switching processing is performed. By the process of S230, all the SC icons included in the standby screen 21 are switched to the one-touch SC icons.

In S240, the normal button 55 displayed on the standby screen 21 is switched to the one-touch button 50.
In S250, when there is an SC icon that has been switched from the permanent type normal SC icon to the temporary type one-touch SC icon in the processing of S230, the timing is individually started for each of the temporary type one-touch SC icons.

In S200, when the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is not only the normal SC icon, the process proceeds to S310 (see FIG. 7).
In S310, it is determined whether or not the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is only an SC pair. If there are only SC pairs, the process proceeds to S260 (see FIG. 6). That is, in this case, none of the one-touch button 50, the normal button 55, and the one-touch / normal button 60 is displayed, and the SC icon is not temporarily switched.

  In S310, when the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is not only the SC pair, the process proceeds to S320. In S320, the one-touch / normal button 60 is displayed on the standby screen 21. In S330, it is determined whether or not the one-touch / normal button 60 has been tapped. When the one-touch / normal button 60 is not tapped, the process proceeds to S260 (see FIG. 6). When the one touch / normal button 60 is tapped, the process proceeds to S340.

  In S340, for each of the displayed one-touch SC icon and normal SC icon, the one-touch SC icon is switched to the normal SC icon, and the normal SC icon is switched to the one-touch SC icon. Each of these switching operations may include both switching from the permanent type to the temporary type and switching from the temporary type to the permanent type.

  In S350, when there is an SC icon that has been switched from the permanent type normal SC icon to the temporary type one-touch SC icon in the process of S340, timing is individually started for each of the temporary type one-touch SC icons. After the process of S350, the process proceeds to S260 (see FIG. 6).

  In S260, the tab information of the selected tab is updated. Specifically, when the SC icon is switched in S170, S230, or S340, the tab information is updated according to the configuration of the waiting tab screen after the switching.

  In addition, when the standby screen 21 is displayed in S120 and the process proceeds to S260 without switching the SC icon, that is, when the contents of the tab screen are not changed, in S260, the current tab information is used as it is. maintain.

  After the process of S260, the process proceeds to S410 (see FIG. 8). In S410, it is determined whether any icon displayed on the standby screen 21 has been tapped. If any icon is tapped, the process proceeds to S420.

  In S420, an icon handling process corresponding to the tapped icon is executed. Specifically, a process associated with the tapped icon is executed. If the tapped icon is an SC icon, the SC function registered in the SC icon is executed. At this time, the processing procedure is partially different as described above depending on whether the SC icon is a one-touch SC icon or a normal SC icon.

  After the completion of the icon correspondence processing in S420, in S430, it is determined whether the icon tapped in S410 (that is, the icon associated with the icon correspondence processing executed in S420) is a temporary type SC icon. To do. If the SC icon is not a temporary type, the process proceeds to S110 (see FIG. 6). If the SC icon is a temporary type, the process proceeds to S440.

  In S440, the time measurement performed for the SC icon of the temporary type is stopped, the time measurement value is returned to the initial value, and the time measurement is restarted. After restarting the timing in S440, the process proceeds to S110 (see FIG. 6).

  If the icon displayed on the standby screen 21 is not tapped in S410, the process proceeds to S450. In S450, based on the tab information of each tab, it is determined whether or not a temporary type SC icon exists in any of the tab screens. If a temporary type SC icon exists on any tab screen, the process proceeds to S460.

  In S460, it is determined whether or not there is an SC icon that has not been tapped by the user for a certain period of time among the temporary type SC icons. Specifically, it is determined that an SC icon that has been timed individually for each temporary type SC icon has reached a certain time is an SC icon that has not been operated for a certain time.

  If there is an SC icon that has not been operated for a certain time, the process proceeds to S470. In S470, the SC icon of the temporary type determined to have been operated for a certain period of time in S460 is switched to the SC icon of the permanent type. After the process of S470, the process proceeds to S110 (see FIG. 6).

  If there is no temporary type SC icon in any tab screen in S450, the process proceeds to S480. If there is no SC icon that has not been operated for a certain time in S460, the process also proceeds to S480.

  In S480, it is determined whether or not a tab change operation has been performed by the user. That is, it is determined whether any tab that has not been selected is tapped. If a tab change operation has not been performed, the process proceeds to S410. When a tab change operation is performed, the selected state of the currently selected tab is canceled, the changed tab, that is, the tapped tab is set to the selected state, and S110 (FIG. 6). To see). Thereby, in the subsequent processes of S110 to S120, the tab screen of the newly selected tab is displayed on the standby screen 21. And the process after S130 will be performed with respect to the newly displayed tab screen.

(1-6) Effects of First Embodiment According to the first embodiment described above, the following effects (1a) to (1d) are achieved.
(1a) A one-touch SC icon can be temporarily switched to a normal SC icon to execute a registered SC function. As a result, the user can execute the registered SC function after confirming its contents.

  Also, when this switching is from the permanent type to the temporary type, it is not switched permanently, but when a certain condition is met, it switches to the original one-touch SC icon of the permanent type. In other words, after switching to the temporary type normal SC icon, if the normal SC icon is not operated for a certain period of time, it is switched to the permanent type one-touch SC icon again.

  Therefore, the usability of both the user who wants to quickly execute the registered SC function and the user who wants to temporarily switch to the normal SC icon and confirm or change the contents is improved.

  (1b) Conversely, the normal SC icon can be temporarily switched to the one-touch SC icon to execute the registered SC function. Thus, the user can quickly execute the registered SC function without being requested for further input operation by tapping the SC icon.

  Also for this switching, when switching from the permanent type to the temporary type, instead of switching permanently, when a certain condition is met, the normal SC icon of the original permanent type is switched. In other words, after switching to the temporary type one-touch SC icon, when the non-operation state of the one-touch SC icon continues for a certain period of time, it switches to the permanent type normal SC icon again.

  Therefore, the usability of both the user who wants to execute the registered SC function after confirming the contents and the user who wants to execute it quickly without confirming the contents by temporarily switching to the one-touch SC icon is improved. Is done.

(1c) When an SC icon is displayed on the standby screen 21, a switching button corresponding to the type of the SC icon is displayed.
Specifically, when the displayed SC icon is only the one-touch SC icon, the one-touch button 50 is displayed as the switching button. As a result, the user can easily recognize that there are SC icons in the currently displayed standby screen 21 and they are all one-touch SC icons. By tapping the one-touch button 50, all displayed one-touch SC icons can be easily switched to normal SC icons.

  When the displayed SC icon is only the normal SC icon, a normal button 55 having a design different from that of the one-touch button 50 is displayed as the switching button. Thus, the user can easily recognize that there are SC icons in the currently displayed standby screen 21 and they are all normal SC icons. By tapping the normal button 55, all displayed normal SC icons can be easily switched to the one-touch SC icon.

  When the normal SC icon and the one-touch SC icon are mixed and not only the SC pair, the one-touch / normal button 60 having a different design from the one-touch button 50 and the normal button 55 is displayed as the switching button. The As a result, the user can easily recognize that there are a plurality of SC icons in the currently displayed standby screen 21 and not only the SC pair. By tapping the one-touch / normal button 60, it is possible to easily realize switching from the one-touch SC icon to the normal SC icon and vice versa for all displayed SC icons.

  (1d) When a plurality of SC icons are displayed and the plurality of SC icons are only SC pairs, no switching button is displayed. That is, one SC pair is a combination of one one-touch SC icon and one normal SC icon, and the registered SC functions themselves are the same. In this case, since it is not necessary to switch from the one-touch SC icon to the normal SC icon or vice versa, the standby screen 21 can be configured simply by not displaying the switch button.

  In the present embodiment, the tab screen of the tab in the selected state (that is, the tab screen displayed on the standby screen 21) corresponds to an example of the selection screen. The one-touch SC icon corresponds to an example of a first shortcut icon. The normal SC icon corresponds to an example of a second shortcut icon. The fixed time in S460 corresponds to an example of a specific time. The process of S120 corresponds to an example of a first display process. The process of S120 executed through S420 to S440 corresponds to an example of a redisplay process. The processes of S150, S210, and S320 correspond to an example of a second display process. The processes of S170, S230, and S340 correspond to an example of a switching process. The process of S470 corresponds to an example of a return process. The process of S140, S520, or S310 executed after an affirmative determination in S480 corresponds to an example of a determination process.

[2. Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, when the permanent type normal SC icon and the one-touch SC icon are displayed as shown in the left of FIG. 4, when the one-touch / normal button 60 is tapped, each permanent type SC icon is temporarily displayed. Switched to a different type of SC icon.

  On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when the one-touch / normal button 60 is tapped, the user can select the SC icon to be switched and switch only the selected SC icon.

  This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. The upper left of FIG. 9 shows the same state as the left of FIG. That is, both the permanent type normal SC icon and the one-touch SC icon are displayed. In this state, when the one-touch / normal button 60 is tapped, an SC icon selection screen 70 is displayed as shown on the right side of FIG.

  On the SC icon selection screen 70, only the SC icons included in the selected tab screen are displayed, and no other icons are displayed. The SC icon selection screen 70 also displays a guidance message that prompts the user to select the SC icon to be switched among the displayed SC icons.

  The user can select one SC icon to be switched from among the SC icons displayed on the SC icon selection screen 70. A plurality of SC icons may be selected.

  When the SC icon to be switched is selected on the SC icon selection screen 70, the standby screen 21 having the selected tab screen is displayed again. At this time, the SC icon selected on the SC icon selection screen 70 is displayed by switching to another SC icon of the temporary type.

  For example, when the normal SC icon as the seventh icon 47 is selected on the SC icon selection screen 70 shown in the upper right of FIG. 9, the seventh icon 47 is changed to the permanent type normal SC icon as shown in the lower right of FIG. To the temporary type one-touch SC icon.

  For example, when the one-touch SC icon as the eighth icon 48 is selected on the SC icon selection screen 70 shown in the upper right of FIG. 9, the eighth icon 48 is changed to the permanent type one-touch SC icon as shown in the lower left of FIG. To the temporary type normal SC icon.

  Such switching of the SC icon via the SC icon selection screen 70 is realized by changing the process of S340 of FIG. 7 to the process shown in FIG. 10 in the display control process of the first embodiment.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, when the one-touch / normal button 60 is tapped in S330, the SC icon selection screen 70 is displayed in S510. In S520, the user's selection operation for any SC icon displayed on the SC icon selection screen 70 is accepted. Note that the process of S520 corresponds to an example of a selection process.

  In S530, the type of the SC icon selected in S520 is switched. That is, when the one-touch SC icon is selected, the screen is switched to the normal SC icon, and when the normal SC icon is selected, the screen is switched to the one-touch SC icon. At this time, the SC type is also switched to the temporary type if the SC type before switching is the permanent type, and is switched to the permanent type if the SC type before switching is the temporary type.

  In S540, when the switching of the SC type in S530 is switching from the permanent type to the temporary type, the timing for the SC icon switched to the temporary type is started.

  In S550, it is determined whether or not the displayed SC icon is only a one-touch SC icon. If there is only the one-touch SC icon, the process proceeds to S560. In S560, the one-touch button 50 is displayed instead of the one-touch / normal button 60, and the process proceeds to S350.

  If the displayed SC icon is not the only one-touch SC icon in S550, the process proceeds to S570. In S570, it is determined whether or not the SC icon included in the standby screen 21 is only the normal SC icon. If there is only the normal SC icon, the process proceeds to S580. In S580, the normal button 55 is displayed instead of the one-touch / normal button 60, and the process proceeds to S350.

If the displayed SC icon is not the only normal SC icon in S570, the process proceeds to S350.
