The instruction area 31 includes a message area 32 for displaying a message, a slide mark 33 indicating a movable image for instructing execution of copying, and a display area 34 for displaying the number of copies of the copying conditions. In the message area 32, a message indicating a user operation when instructing the execution of copying is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, a "slide and start" message indicating that copying is executed (that is, started) by moving (that is, sliding) the slide mark 33 is displayed. Further, the slide mark 33 can be displayed at a position moved in the X direction (and in the opposite direction).

The slide mark 33 is displayed in one of a plurality of images including the first image 33A, the second image 33B, the third image 33C, and the fourth image 33D having different display forms (details will be described later). do).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a designated area predetermined for the designated area 31. The designated area is an example of an area for determining whether copying has not been executed, copying has been executed, and copying has been stopped according to the position of the slide mark 33 displayed so as to be movable.

Specifically, at least an execution area 37 is predetermined in the display area 34. The execution area 37 is an area for specifying that the copy is executed when the slide mark 33 at the end of the movement operation is present in the area. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 4, an example is shown in which the display area 34 is an effective area 35 that can be instructed by a user operation, and the effective area 35 includes an execution area 37. Further, in FIG. 4, another region in the effective region 35 is predetermined as a start region 36 including the initial position of the slide mark 33. The start area 36 is an area for specifying that the copy is not executed (not executed) when the slide mark 33 at the end of the movement operation is present in the area. The start area 36 may be set to a region having the same size corresponding to the size of the slide mark 33, or a region increased or decreased from the size of the slide mark 33.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the relationship between the user operation and the position of the slide mark displayed on the operation display unit 14 by the CPU 10A with respect to the user operation.

The user U touches the finger of the user U with the slide mark 33 displayed in the instruction area 31 of the operation display unit 14, and moves the finger of the user U while touching the slide mark 33 to move the slide mark 33. The slide mark 33 moves so that the center position of the slide mark 33 moves on the line CL connecting the center positions of the start area 36 and the execution area 37 in the Y direction within the range of the start area 36 and the execution area 37 in the X direction. Is displayed.

Specifically, the initial position Ps, which is the start point, and the execution position Pe, which is the end point, are predetermined on the line CL, and a slide mark is placed on the line segment connecting the initial position Ps and the execution position Pe. It is possible to display so that the center position of 33 is located. The slide mark 33 is displayed so as to be located at the initial position Ps in the initial state in which the instruction area 31 is displayed on the operation display unit 14. Further, the slide mark 33 is displayed so as to be located at the execution position Pe in the execution state in which the movement operation is completed and the execution of copying is instructed.

When the finger of the user U comes into contact with the instruction area 31, the contact position Pu on the operation display unit 14 is detected. For example, the center position Uc of the contact area of the finger of the user U in contact with the operation display unit 14 is specified, and the specified center position Uc is detected as the contact position Pu. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the case where the contact position Pu by the center position Uc of the finger of the user U in contact with the instruction region 31 and the initial position Ps are matched is shown. By the movement operation in which the user U moves the finger in the X direction or the opposite direction while touching the finger to the instruction area 31, the CPU 10A follows the moved contact position Pu so that the center position of the slide mark 33 is positioned. do. Then, when the movement operation by the user U is completed, that is, when the finger of the user U is separated near the execution position Pe, the CPU 10A executes copying.

When the contact position Pu is separated from the line CL, information indicating the relative relationship (for example, direction and distance) between the contact position Pu and the initial position Ps is held during the contact of the finger of the user U. , The slide mark 33 may be displayed while maintaining the relative relationship. By doing so, the position where the contact position Pu is projected onto the line CL in the Y direction may be set as the contact position. By setting the position projected on the line CL as the contact position, it is possible to allow the position shift of the contact position in the Y direction.

FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram related to the behavior of the slide mark 33 with respect to a user operation including a movement operation.

FIG. 6 is an example of a screen transition displayed on the operation display unit 14 by the control of the display control unit 100 functioning in the image processing device 1, that is, the processing executed by the CPU 10A. Further, FIG. 6 shows the display state of the instruction area 31 regarding the instruction to execute copying under the copying condition (see FIG. 3) when the “full” button is pressed. Further, in FIG. 6, the display states S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4 in the process from immediately before the finger of the user U touches the instruction area 31 until the movement operation is completed and the execution of copying is instructed. Each display state of is shown.

The display state S0 is a display state of the instruction area 31 when the finger of the user U is brought close to the instruction area 31 (non-contact) before the finger of the user U is touched by the slide mark 33 of the instruction area 31. .. In the display state S0, the slide mark 33 is displayed at the initial position Ps with a predetermined first image 33A. The first image 33A is a display form in which a color and a shape indicating an initial state (non-contact state) in which the finger of the user U is not in contact with the slide mark 33 are predetermined.

The display state S1 is a display state of the instruction area 31 when the finger of the user U touches the slide mark 33 of the instruction area 31. In the display state S1, the slide mark 33 is displayed as a predetermined second image 33B. The second image 33B is a display form in which a color and a shape indicating a contact state in which the finger of the user U is in contact with the slide mark 33 are predetermined. In this contact state, the slide mark 33 indicates that it can be moved (sliding). It is preferable that the second image 33B has a display form different from that of the first image 33A.

The display state S2 is a display state of the instruction area 31 when the slide mark 33 of the instruction area 31 is moved while the finger of the user U is in contact with the slide mark 33 and the slide mark 33 is moved to the execution area 37. In the display state S2, since the finger of the user U is in contact with the slide mark 33, the slide mark 33 is displayed in the second image 33B following the user operation. Further, by moving the slide mark 33, a part of the information displayed in the display area 34 (character information of "999 copies" indicating the number of copies in FIG. 6) is hidden and hidden. Be controlled. The image of the slide mark 33 during the movement operation may be an original image different from the first image 33A and the second image 33B.

The display state S3 is a display state of the instruction area 31 when the movement operation is stopped at the execution position Pe. The slide mark 33 is displayed on the second image 33B until it is moved to the execution position Pe. The image of the slide mark 33 may be an original image different from the above-mentioned image while the movement operation is stopped.

The display state S4 is the display state of the instruction area 31 when the finger of the user U is separated from the slide mark 33 and the movement operation is completed at the execution position Pe. In the display state S4, the slide mark 33 is displayed as a predetermined third image 33C. The third image 33C is a display form in which a color and a shape indicating an execution state in which the execution of copying is instructed after the movement operation is completed are predetermined. It is preferable that the third image 33C has a display form different from that of the above-mentioned image.

When the finger of the user U is separated from the slide mark 33 and the movement operation is completed while the slide mark 33 has not been moved to the execution area 37, the slide mark 33 is controlled to be returned to the initial position Ps. Will be. In this case, the instruction to execute the copy is not given according to the copy condition. On the other hand, when the slide mark 33 is moved to the execution area 37 and the finger of the user U is separated from the slide mark 33 and the movement operation is completed, the slide mark 33 is controlled to be moved to the execution position Pe. Will be. In this case, an instruction to execute copying is given according to the copying conditions. Further, when the slide mark 33 is returned to the initial position Ps or moved to the execution position Pe, the speaker 19 is also controlled to sound a predetermined sound. The predetermined sound when the slide mark 33 is returned to the initial position Ps and the predetermined sound when the slide mark 33 is moved to the execution position Pe may be the same sound or different sounds. The control to sound a predetermined sound is controlled so that the slide mark 33 sounds only when the slide mark 33 is moved to the execution position Pe, and does not sound when the slide mark 33 is returned to the initial position Ps. good. The details of the control regarding the movement of the slide mark 33 to the initial position Ps and the execution position Pe will be described later.

Next, the information processing executed by the image processing apparatus 1 will be described.

In the image processing device 1, the CPU 10A can execute the above-mentioned document-related function by expanding the document-related function program 10K from the auxiliary storage device 10D to the reading RAM 10B and executing the processing.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of information processing executed in the image processing device 1. The processing routine shown in FIG. 7 is an example of the processing flow of the control program 10P stored in the image processing device 1. The processing routine shown in FIG. 7 is executed by the CPU 10A in the image processing device 1.

In the present embodiment, the information processing executed by the CPU 10A in the image processing apparatus 1 is, as an example, a case where the processing related to the instruction to execute the copy is executed after the copy condition is selected and instructed by the user operation (see FIG. 3). explain.

The CPU 10A detects the contact position of the user U with respect to the operation display unit 14 by acquiring the information from the operation display unit 14 in step S100, and whether or not the contact position is included in the start region 36 in step S102. To judge. If the contact position is not included in the start region 36 (negative in step S102), the process returns to step S100, and if it is included (affirmative in step S102), the process proceeds to step S104. When the execution start of this processing routine and the contact position are not included in the start area 36, the slide mark 33 is displayed in the first image 33A as the display state S0 before the contact of the user U (the display state S0). FIG. 6).

In step S104, the CPU 10A changes the display form of the slide mark 33. Specifically, the second image 33B, which is the display state at the time of contact of the user U, whose display form is changed from the display state displayed on the first image 33A, is displayed (FIG. 6).

Next, in step S106, the CPU 10A controls to follow and display the slide mark 33 at the contact position. Specifically, for example, the center position Uc of the contact area of the finger of the user U is detected as the contact position Pu, and the detected contact position Pu is displayed so that the center position of the slide mark 33 is located. Control is performed to display the slide mark 33 following the operation. When the contact position Pu is separated from the line CL, the slide mark 33 may be displayed while maintaining the relative relationship between the contact position Pu and the initial position Ps as described above. Further, the CPU 10A sequentially stores the detected contact position Pu and the center position of the slide mark 33 which has been subsequently displayed in the RAM 10B or the auxiliary storage device 10D. The center position of the slide mark 33 stored in the time series can be treated as information indicating the movement locus of the slide mark 33.

The process from step S100 to step S106 described above is an example of the process executed by the follow-up display control unit 102. Further, the processing after step S108 is an example of the processing executed by the operation control unit 104.

During the follow-up display of the slide mark 33, the CPU 10A determines in step S108 whether or not the slide mark 33 is included in the execution area 37. In step S108, it may be determined whether or not the slide mark 33 has reached the execution area 37. The determination of whether or not the slide mark 33 is included in the execution area 37 is determined by determining whether or not the center position of the slide mark 33 is included in the execution area 37, for example, whether or not the slide mark 33 is located on the line CL in the execution area 37. Just do it.

If the slide mark 33 is included in the start area 36, it is denied in step S108, and it is determined in step S110 whether or not the movement operation is completed. By acquiring the information from the operation display unit 14, it is determined whether or not the movement operation is completed, that is, whether or not the user U's contact with the operation display unit 14 is released, that is, whether or not the user U's finger is separated. do it.

If the movement operation is continued, it is denied in step S110, and the CPU 10A returns the process to step S106 and continues the tracking control described above. On the other hand, when the movement operation is completed, it is affirmed in step S110, and the CPU 10A controls to change the slide mark to the initial state in step S112 and ends the processing routine. The initial state is a state in which execution of the operation is not started, and the slide mark 33 is displayed so as to be located at the initial position Ps, and is also displayed in the first image 33A (display state S0 in FIG. 6).

When the slide mark 33 is included in the execution area 37, it is affirmed in step S108, and in step S114, it is determined whether or not the movement operation is completed as in step S110. If a negative determination is made in step S114, the CPU 10A returns the process to step S106, and if an affirmative determination is made, the CPU 10A shifts the process to step S116.

After the CPU 10A acquires the movement locus of the slide mark 33 in the execution area 37 from the RAM 10B or the auxiliary storage device 10D in step S116, whether or not the information indicating the acquired movement locus conforms to the stop condition in step S118. To judge.

The stop condition is a condition indicating the behavior of the slide mark 33 for specifying the stop of the execution of the predetermined operation. That is, the CPU 10A determines whether or not the behavior (that is, the movement locus) of the slide mark 33 displayed so as to follow the movement operation by the user U meets the stop condition, thereby performing a process related to an instruction to execute copying (that is, Judge whether to cancel the execution of the operation). In the present embodiment, as an example of the stop condition, the first condition regarding the moving direction of the slide mark 33 and the second condition regarding the moving distance are applied. The first condition is a condition indicating that the moving direction of the slide mark 33 has changed in the execution area 37. The second condition is a condition indicating that the movement operation is completed after moving a predetermined distance (hereinafter referred to as a stop determination distance) from the position where the movement direction has changed. When the movement status of the slide mark 33 moved following the movement operation by the user U matches the first condition and the second condition, the CPU 10A determines that the stop condition is satisfied.

When the behavior of the slide mark 33 indicated by the acquired information indicating the movement locus does not meet the stop condition (FIG. 8), the CPU 10A makes a negative determination in step S118, and processes related to the instruction to execute copying (execution of the operation). I do. Specifically, in step S120, the CPU 10A executes copying according to the copying conditions as the execution of the operation, that is, for the image copying function among the manuscript-related functions operated by the manuscript-related function program 10K. , Outputs information instructing the execution of copying. As a result, the image processing apparatus 1 starts copying according to the copying conditions.

Next, in step S122, the CPU 10A controls to change the display state of the slide mark 33 to the execution state, and ends the processing routine. The execution state is a state indicating that the execution of the operation has started, and the slide mark 33 is displayed so as to be located at the execution position Pe, and is also displayed in the third image 33C (display state in FIG. 6). S4).

On the other hand, when the behavior of the slide mark 33 meets the stop condition (FIG. 9), the CPU 10A makes an affirmative judgment in step S118 and cancels the process (execution of the operation) related to the instruction to execute the copy. Specifically, in step S124, the CPU 10A stops the execution of copying, that is, the output of information instructing the execution of copying for the image copying function by the document-related function program 10K, as a control for stopping the execution of the operation. As a result, the image processing apparatus 1 stops the execution of copying.

Next, in step S126, the CPU 10A controls to stop the process (execution of the operation) related to the instruction to execute the copy, that is, to notify the user U that the copy has been stopped, and ends the process routine. .. An example of the control for notifying the user U is a control for sounding a predetermined sound from the speaker 19. When copying is stopped, the slide mark 33 is displayed on a predetermined fourth image 33D to indicate that copying has been stopped, that is, execution of the operation has been stopped (FIG. 9).

Next, conformity and non-compliance with the above-mentioned discontinuation conditions will be specifically described.

First, an example of a case where the discontinuation condition is not met will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram related to the behavior of the slide mark 33 with respect to a user operation instructing execution of copying as an example of a case where the stop condition is not met.

As shown in FIG. 8, it is detected that the finger of the user U with respect to the operation display unit 14 is touched by the processing of the CPU 10A, and the display form of the slide mark 33 is changed from the first image 33A to the second image 33B. To. The second image 33B is maintained as the image of the slide mark 33 while the movement operation is performed from the contact position Pu (initial position Ps) to the execution position Pe.

Next, the end of the movement operation, specifically, the release of the contact of the user U, that is, the detection that the finger of the user U is separated is detected, and the process related to the instruction to execute the copy (execution of the operation) is performed. .. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the moving direction of the slide mark 33 has not changed, it does not conform to the stop condition. Specifically, in order to determine the first condition of the stop conditions, the CPU 10A determines whether or not the moving direction of the slide mark 33 has changed in the moving locus of the slide mark 33. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the movement operation is completed without changing the movement direction of the slide mark 33, the first condition is not met and it is determined that the stop condition is not met.

Therefore, as the execution of the operation, the information instructing the execution of the copy according to the copy condition is output. As a result, the image processing apparatus 1 starts copying according to the copying conditions. Then, the slide mark 33 is changed from the second image 33B to the third image 33C (execution state).

Next, an example of the case where the discontinuation condition is satisfied will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram related to the behavior of the slide mark 33 with respect to a user operation instructing to stop the execution of copying as an example of the case where the stop condition is satisfied. FIG. 9 is different from FIG. 8 in that the user operation is continued even after the slide mark 33 is moved so as to be moved to the execution position Pe.

As shown in FIG. 9, following the movement operation to the execution position Pe, the movement operation is continued in a direction different from the direction of the movement operation from the initial position Ps to the execution position Pe. Specifically, the direction is changed at the position Pp (the position corresponding to the execution position Pe in FIG. 9), and the slide mark 33 is moved to the position Pcx corresponding to the contact position Pc exceeding the stop determination distance Lc. .. Therefore, the discontinuation condition is met.

Specifically, in order to determine the first condition, the CPU 10A specifies whether or not the moving direction of the slide mark 33 has changed in the moving locus of the slide mark 33. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the moving direction of the slide mark 33 changes at the position Pp and the moving operation is continued, so that the first condition is satisfied. The CPU 10A also specifies the position Pp where the direction has changed.

Next, in order to determine the second condition, it is specified whether or not the movement operation is completed after the movement of the stop determination distance Lc from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed. In FIG. 9, since the movement of the slide mark 33 by the movement operation from the position Pp to the position Pc is a distance greater than or equal to the stop determination distance Lc or a distance exceeding the stop determination distance Lc, the second condition is satisfied. Therefore, it is determined that the discontinuation condition is satisfied.

Therefore, as the execution of the operation, the information instructing the execution of the copy according to the copy condition is not output. As a result, the image processing apparatus 1 does not start copying according to the copying conditions. Then, the slide mark 33 is changed from the second image 33B to the fourth image 33D (stopped state).

In addition, in order to determine that the above-mentioned first condition is satisfied, a change in the moving direction is detected. Since the slide mark 33 moves on the line CL, the change in the moving direction of the slide mark 33 corresponds to the folding back of the center position of the slide mark 33 on the line CL. In this case, the folding point is the position Pp. Further, the direction toward the folding point is the direction in which copying is executed (execution of the operation) (execution direction), and the folding direction is the direction in which the execution of copying (execution of the operation) is stopped (stopping direction). Therefore, the detection of the change in the moving direction may detect that the slide mark 33 is moved in the stopping direction.

When determining the conformity of the discontinuation condition based on the discontinuation direction, a third condition indicating that the changed moving direction is the discontinuation direction is added, and when the above-mentioned first to third conditions are met, the discontinuation condition is met. Then it should be judged. By determining the conformity of the stop condition based on the stop direction, it is possible to improve the determination accuracy of whether or not to stop the execution of copying (execution of the operation) as compared with the case where the stop direction is not considered.

In this way, by using the distance of the movement locus corresponding to the movement distance of the slide mark 33 to determine the distance from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed, as compared with the case where the slide mark 33 is moved to the initial position Ps. , The execution of copying (execution of operation) can be stopped with a short movement distance.

By the way, when the user U performs the user operation in the Y direction or the opposite direction while contacting the slide mark 33, the movement amount of the slide mark 33 (as the angle formed by the Y direction and the direction by the user operation becomes smaller). The distance traveled) becomes smaller. Therefore, even if the user U intends to stop the execution of copying (execution of the operation) and operates the user in a direction different from the direction toward the execution position Pe, the moving distance of the slide mark 33 satisfies the stop determination distance Lc. There may be no distance and copying may start.

In the technique of the present disclosure, instead of the distance of the movement locus corresponding to the movement distance of the slide mark 33, the movement direction and the movement distance of the locus of the contact position by the user operation may be used. For example, the position where the direction of the locus of the contact position is changed by the user operation may be set as the position Pp, and the determination may be made under the stop condition using the distance from the position Pp.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the direction of the movement operation by the user U. FIG. 10 shows a case where the movement operation is performed in the execution direction Da toward the execution position Pe, the direction is changed at the position Pp, and the movement operation is performed in the stop direction Dc. Further, in FIG. 10, as the first setting, the angle θa1 in the execution direction and the angle θc1 in the stop direction are set to equal angles with the line CL along the X direction as the center and the Y direction as the boundary. The relationship is shown. Further, as the second setting, an angular relationship is shown in which the stop direction is set to an angle θc2 that is larger than the angle θa2 in the execution direction.

In the first setting, since the angle θa1 and the angle θc1 are set to equal angles, the execution direction and the stop direction can be applied to the left and right movement operations, and the intuitive movement operation becomes possible. In the second setting, the angle at which the execution direction is applied is sharper than the angle at which the stop direction is applied, so it is possible to limit the execution direction to a direction closer to the X direction than in the first setting. Become.

In the above, the case where the movement operation is performed linearly by the user U has been described, but the technique of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the technique of the present disclosure can be applied even when the movement operation is performed in a curved line. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a case where the locus of the movement operation is a curve, and in the example shown in FIG. 11, the direction changes at the inflection point of the locus when the movement operation is performed in a curved line. It may be the position Pp.

In this way, by applying the moving direction and moving distance of the locus of the contact position, the direction and distance of the user operation can be specified, and the copying is executed and the copying is performed as compared with the case where the judgment is made by the movement of the slide mark 33. It is possible to improve the accuracy when determining the cancellation of execution.

In the second condition included in the above-mentioned stop condition, it is determined whether or not the movement operation is completed after the stop determination distance Lc is moved from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed. However, even if a user operation for changing the moving direction is performed near the boundary of the execution area 37, the execution of copying (execution of the operation) may not be stopped. For example, after the slide mark 33 reaches the execution area 37, even if the user U intends to stop the execution of copying (execution of the operation) and operates the user in the stop direction, the user U moves from the position Pp by the stop determination distance Lc. The execution of copying (execution of operation) is not stopped until it is executed.

In the technique of the present disclosure, it is possible to set the stop determination distance Lc for the slide mark 33 in consideration of the distance to the boundary of the execution area 37. The distance from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed to the boundary of the execution region 37 may be used as the stop determination distance Lc.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the distance between the slide mark 33 and the boundary of the execution area 37 when the distance of the slide mark 33 to the boundary of the execution area 37 is taken into consideration.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the movement operation is continued from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed to the stop direction and the movement operation of the slide mark 33 is completed at the position Pcx corresponding to the contact position Pc, the movement operation of the slide mark 33 is completed from the position Pp to the position Pcx. The distance to is not satisfied with the stop determination distance Lc. Therefore, it is not suitable for the discontinuation condition. Therefore, the CPU 10A detects the distance Lcx from the position Pp where the moving direction has changed to the boundary of the execution region 37. Then, the CPU 10A compares the predetermined stop determination distance Lc with the distance Lcx, and temporarily updates the short distance as the stop determination distance Lc. Temporarily updating means not updating continuously, that is, updating to use the stop determination distance Lc until the next movement operation, but updating to use only this time. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the distance Lcx is temporarily updated as the stop determination distance Lc. As a result, the example shown in FIG. 12 meets the discontinuation condition.

When considering the distance of the slide mark 33 to the boundary of the execution area 37, the extension condition of the second condition may be added. Specifically, when the movement operation is completed after moving in the stop direction and the distance from the position where the move direction has changed to the boundary of the execution area 37 is shorter than the stop determination distance Lc, the execution is performed from the position where the move direction has changed. The condition that the distance to the boundary of the region 37 is the stop determination distance may be set as the extended condition of the second condition. By adding the extension condition of the second condition to the stop condition, it is possible to stop the execution of copying (execution of the operation) at a shorter distance than when the distance to the boundary of the execution area 37 is not taken into consideration. ..

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the movement distance of the slide mark 33 is used to determine the distance moved from the position Pp where the movement direction has changed to the stop direction, so that the slide mark can be reached to the initial position Ps. Compared with the case of moving 33, the execution of copying (execution of the operation) can be stopped with a shorter moving distance.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the second embodiment will be described. Since the second embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first embodiment, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the first embodiment, the execution of copying is stopped by determining the distance moved in the stop direction from the position Pp where the move direction has changed. By the way, the user U may wish to execute the copy again during or after the user operation to stop the execution of the copy. The second embodiment applies the disclosed technique in the case of controlling the execution of the copy so as to be reproducible after the user operation of stopping the execution of the copy.

FIG. 13 shows an example of the processing flow of the control program 10P according to the second embodiment.
The process of the control program 10P according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 13 is an addition of a process of reactivating the copy execution during or after the user operation for stopping the copy execution. Specifically, the processing of steps S200 to S206 is added between steps S100 and S102 in the processing of the control program 10P according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 7. Further, the processing of step S208 and step S210 is added between step S118 and step S124.

As described above, the CPU 10A detects the contact position of the user U (step S100) and determines whether or not the contact position is included in the start region 36 (step S102). In the present embodiment, after detecting the contact position of the user U, the CPU 10A determines in step S200 whether or not the stopped state is ON.

In the present embodiment, when the behavior of the slide mark 33 meets the stop condition, the stop state indicating that the stop condition is met is set to ON as the state related to the execution of copying. This aborted state shall be set to off at the beginning of the start of the control program. Therefore, at the beginning of starting the control program, it is denied in step S200, and the process shifts to step S102. The process of setting the canceled state to on will be described later.

Then, after the CPU 10A controls to display the slide mark 33 following the contact position and acquires the movement locus of the slide mark 33 in the execution area 37 (steps S104 to S116), the behavior of the slide mark 33 is a stop condition. (Step S118). Since the process until the movement locus is acquired and the process when the behavior of the slide mark 33 does not meet the stop condition are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the behavior of the slide mark 33 meets the stop condition (affirmed in step S118), the CPU 10A turns on the stop state indicating that the state conforms to the stop condition as the state related to the execution of copying (execution of the operation) in step S208. Set to. The canceled state is set to off when it is confirmed that the copy execution is stopped, for example, when a predetermined time has elapsed since it was set to on. Next, in step S210, the CPU 10A determines whether or not the acquired information indicating the movement locus conforms to the re-execution condition.

The re-execution condition is a condition for determining that the information indicating the movement locus conforming to the stop condition includes the behavior of the slide mark 33 for re-execution. That is, the CPU 10A determines whether or not the behavior (that is, the movement locus) of the slide mark 33 displayed so as to follow the movement operation by the user U meets the re-execution condition, so that the movement operation conforming to the stop condition is satisfied. It is determined whether or not the subsequent move operation is an instruction to execute copying (execution of the operation).

In the present embodiment, as an example of the re-execution condition, the first execution condition regarding the movement direction of the slide mark 33 and the second execution condition regarding the movement distance are applied. The first execution condition is a condition indicating that the movement direction of the slide mark 33 is changed to the stop direction in the execution area 37, and then the movement operation is further performed, and the movement direction is the execution direction. The second execution condition is a condition indicating that the movement operation is completed after the movement of a predetermined constant distance (hereinafter referred to as a re-execution determination distance) La from the position changed in the execution direction. When the movement status of the slide mark 33 after satisfying the stop condition matches the first execution condition and the second execution condition, the CPU 10A determines that the re-execution condition is satisfied.

The re-execution determination distance La and the stop determination distance Lc may be the same distance (La = Lc) or different distances (La <> Lc).

If the behavior of the slide mark 33 does not meet the re-execution condition, the CPU 10A determines negatively in step S210 and cancels the process (execution of the operation) related to the instruction to execute the copy (step S124).

On the other hand, when the behavior of the slide mark 33 meets the re-execution condition, the CPU 10A makes an affirmative judgment in step S210 and performs a process (execution of the operation) related to the instruction to execute the copy (step S120).

Next, conformity and non-compliance with the above-mentioned re-execution conditions will be specifically described.

First, an example of the case where the re-execution condition is satisfied will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram related to the behavior of the slide mark 33 with respect to a user operation instructing to stop the execution of copying as an example of the case where the re-execution condition is satisfied. FIG. 14 is different from FIG. 9 in that the user operation is continued even after the slide mark 33 is moved so as to be moved to the position Pc.

As shown in FIG. 14, following the movement operation to the position Pc, the movement operation is continued in the direction (execution direction) of the movement operation from the initial position Ps to the execution position Pe. Specifically, the slide mark 33 is moved to the position Pax corresponding to the contact position Pa where the direction is changed at the position Pc and the movement operation after the movement exceeding the re-execution determination distance La is completed. Therefore, the re-execution condition is satisfied.

Specifically, the CPU 10A specifies whether or not the moving direction of the slide mark 33 has changed in the moving locus of the slide mark 33 in order to determine the first execution condition. In the example shown in FIG. 14, since the moving direction of the slide mark 33 changes at the position Pcx and the moving operation is continued, the first execution condition is satisfied. The CPU 10A also specifies the position Pcx whose direction has changed.

Next, in order to determine the second execution condition, it is specified whether or not the movement operation is completed after the re-execution determination distance La is moved from the position Pcx where the movement direction has changed. In FIG. 14, since the movement of the slide mark 33 (distance from the position Pcx to the position Pax) by the movement operation from the position Pc to the position Pa exceeds the re-execution determination distance La, the second execution condition is satisfied. Therefore, it is determined that the re-execution condition is satisfied.

Therefore, as the execution of the operation, the information instructing the execution of the copy according to the copy condition is output. As a result, the image processing apparatus 1 starts copying according to the copying conditions. Then, the slide mark 33 is changed from the second image 33B to the third image 33C (execution state).

By the way, the user U may perform a user operation to stop the execution of the copy, release the contact with the operation display unit 14, and then request the execution of the copy again. In the present embodiment, when the stop condition is met, the stop state as the state related to the execution of copying is set to on. Therefore, when the stopped state is set to ON, the CPU 10A makes an affirmative judgment in step S200 and shifts the process to step S202.

In step S202, the CPU 10A determines whether or not the contact position is within the slide mark 33, that is, whether or not the contact position of the user operation by the user U is within the area defined by the slide mark 33 at the current position. When the contact position is outside the slide mark 33, the CPU 10A is not a user operation intended to execute copying again, so a negative determination is made in step S202, and the process proceeds to step S102. On the other hand, when the contact position is within the slide mark 33, there is a possibility that the user operation is intended to execute copying again. Therefore, a positive judgment is made in step S202, and the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S204, the follow-up display process in the stopped state (on) is executed in the same manner as the follow-up process in step S104 and step S106 described above. Then, when the movement operation is completed, the movement locus in the stopped state (on) is acquired, and in step S206, the information indicating the acquired movement locus in the stopped state (on) conforms to the re-execution condition in the stopped state (on). Judge whether or not.

If the behavior of the slide mark 33 does not meet the re-execution condition, the CPU 10A makes a negative determination in step S206 and returns the process to step S100. On the other hand, when the behavior of the slide mark 33 meets the re-execution condition, the CPU 10A shifts the process to step S120 and performs a process (execution of the operation) related to the instruction to execute the copy. After the process of step S206, the stopped state may be set to off.

The re-execution condition in the stopped state (on) is a condition for determining that the information indicating the movement locus in the stopped state includes the behavior of the slide mark 33 for re-execution. For example, it is possible to use the same conditions as the above-mentioned re-execution conditions. Specifically, when the behavior of the slide mark 33 indicates that the movement direction is the execution direction and the movement operation is completed after the movement of the slide mark 33 by a predetermined constant distance Lb from the position changed in the execution direction, the CPU 10A is used. , It is judged that the re-execution condition in the stopped state (on) is satisfied.

The constant distance Lb determined in step S206 may be the same distance (La = Lb) as the re-execution determination distance La, or may be a different distance (La <> Lb).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the user operation is performed to stop the execution of the copy and the contact with the operation display unit 14 is released and the execution of the copy is desired again, the copy is executed. It becomes possible to determine whether to cancel or cancel. Therefore, it is possible to execute copying or stop copying according to the intention of the user.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, after the movement direction of the slide mark 33 is changed to the stop direction, the distance moved further in the execution direction is determined to execute copying (execution of the operation). It is possible to reduce the man-hours for user operation as compared with the case of redoing. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden on the user.
