(Operation of Example 1)
In the tablet terminal 2 according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, in the top image 27, the preview image 31 is displayed when the single tap is performed, and the thumbnail image 41 is displayed when the double tap is performed. When the top image 27 is pressed for a long time, the document data can be selected.

In conventional image display software in a personal computer, etc., an input member such as a mouse can be selected by a single click, a preview image is displayed by a double click, and a selection displayed after a right click for thumbnail display. The image requires further input, needs to be displayed in an image area different from the preview image, or can select only one of preview display and thumbnail display. In other words, when trying to display a browse image in a format different from that when double-clicking, there is a problem that a plurality of inputs are required or a display screen with a high resolution is required.
On the other hand, in the tablet terminal 2 of the embodiment, the preview image 31 and the thumbnail image 41 can be switched and displayed only by a single tap and double tap input operation. Therefore, when displaying a browse image, it is not necessary to input a plurality of times, the operability is improved, high resolution and a large screen are not required, and a small terminal can be realized.

In particular, the conventional configuration described in Patent Document 1 focuses on how to open an image, and cannot handle a general multi-page document, or the conventional configuration described in Patent Document 2 opens a document. At this time, the target to be operated can be specified by a document or a page, but the number of operation steps and the number of operations increase accordingly, and there is a problem that the operation becomes complicated.
On the other hand, in the tablet terminal 2 according to the first embodiment, when the document is opened, the display of the document can be directly switched, and the increase in the number of operations is reduced as compared with the conventional configuration. Has been.

In the first embodiment, the preview image 31 and the thumbnail image 41 are updated according to the printing conditions, and the state after printing can be confirmed before actual printing. In other words, you can check the front and back status, assignment order, stapling position, and punching position before printing on double-sided printing, and print errors and part of the image may be missing in the binding needle or punch hole in advance. Can be confirmed.
Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the process of directly handling document data such as deletion and transmission, not browsing the document data, is set to long press input, and continuous input for a long time longer than a double tap is set. . Therefore, even if an object temporarily touches the touch panel 2b accidentally while walking with the tablet terminal 2 in a bag or a pocket of clothes, the accidental deletion or the like is reduced. In other words, if it is set to single tap, there is a risk that it will be deleted accidentally when touched temporarily, but if it is set to long press compared to this case, it will be deleted accidentally The risk of being reduced.
