Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling scrolling of a screen.

  In recent years, multifunction devices having various functions such as copying, scanning, faxing, network printing, and document servers have become widespread. Such a multi-function peripheral is sometimes called “MFP (Multi Function Peripherals)”.

  In addition, the performance of hardware such as ADF (Auto Document Feeder), print engine, CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), and hard disk is improved, and the environment for software development is improved. Accordingly, various incidental functions used together with the above-described functions have been developed.

  For example, as an additional function of the copy function (so-called optional function), the “background adjustment function” that removes the so-called show-through, the “automatic rotation function” that automatically rotates the scanned image, and multiple original sheets Functions such as a “continuous reading function” for continuously scanning and a “book original function” for so-called book finishing are provided.

  In this way, multifunction devices are becoming increasingly multifunctional. As the number of functions increases, the user can cause the MFP to execute various processes.

  However, the more processing variations that can be executed, the more complicated the operation method of the multifunction peripheral becomes.

  For example, in the case of a multifunction machine that employs a GUI (Graphical User Interface), icons for each optional function are displayed on the display, but the number of icons that can be displayed on the display at a time is limited. To increase the number of icons displayed on the display at a time, the size of the icon must be reduced. This makes it difficult for the user to see the icon.

  As described above, the more optional functions, the more difficult it is for the user to search for icons of optional functions to be used.

  The icon must be displayed in a certain size. Therefore, there are cases where all icons cannot be displayed on the display at once. In this case, the icons are displayed in order by scrolling the screen.

  The following methods have been proposed as screen display methods during scrolling. When the scroll speed is greater than or equal to the specified value or greater than the specified value, the size of the displayed information is reduced and the number of items to be displayed is increased, compared to when the scroll speed is less than the specified value or less than the specified value. (Patent Document 1).

  In addition, a technique has been proposed in which an icon is displayed for selecting each function and an icon for the function is hidden when a certain function is selected (Patent Document 2).

JP 2009-289101 A JP 2006-350838 A

  However, according to the method described in Patent Document 1, since information is displayed in a small size and scrolls at high speed, it may be difficult to recognize the information. As a result, it takes time and effort to find the target icon.

  Further, according to the method described in Patent Document 2, it is inconvenient when the user wants to select the icon of the selected function again.

  In view of such a problem, an object of the present invention is to display a screen so that a user can find a target icon more easily than in the past.

A display processing apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention is a display processing apparatus that displays a row of a plurality of icons for setting a function on a display part by part while scrolling, and among the plurality of icons, When an operation for changing the setting of the corresponding function is performed on the target icon that is any one of the icons, an operation for changing the setting of the corresponding function among the plurality of icons is performed. as we have no icon is displayed on more the display changes the display form of the object icon operation for changing the settings is performed, the display form changing means, have a, the display form The changing unit is configured to display a target icon on which an operation for changing the setting has been performed in a row in which the plurality of icons are arranged and according to a user operation. The second region is moved to a second column different from the first column to be scrolled according to the position of the second icon, and the second column is different from the region where the first column is displayed. By changing the display form of the target icon by displaying
When a majority of the plurality of icons moves to the second column, the second column is scrolled instead of the first column in accordance with the second icon.

A display processing apparatus according to another aspect of the present invention is a display processing apparatus that displays a row of a plurality of icons for setting a function on a display part by part while scrolling, wherein the plurality of icons are displayed. The operation for changing the setting of the corresponding function among the plurality of icons when the operation for changing the setting of the corresponding function is performed for the target icon which is any one of the icons Display form changing means for changing the display form of the target icon on which the operation for changing the setting has been performed so that more icons that are not performed are displayed on the display, The display form changing means changes the display form of the target icon by reducing and displaying the target icon on which the operation for changing the setting has been performed. That.
The display form changing means also reduces and displays icons of functions that have an exclusive relationship with the function related to the target icon on which the operation for changing the setting is performed among the plurality of icons. May be.

Alternatively, the reduced target icon is displayed in a first column that is a column in which the plurality of icons are arranged.

Alternatively, the display form changing means also displays a display form of an icon of a function that has an exclusive relationship with the function related to the target icon on which the operation for changing the setting has been performed among the plurality of icons. To change.

  According to the present invention, the screen can be displayed so that the user can find the target icon more easily than in the past.

  As described above, the multifunction device 1 has various functions such as copying, PC printing, fax, scanner, and document server. These functions are realized in combination with an optional function that allows the user to arbitrarily select whether to use or set values.

  For example, the copy function includes a “background adjustment function” that removes the so-called show-through, an “automatic rotation function” that automatically rotates the scanned image, and a “continuous reading function” that scans multiple sheets of the document continuously. Optional functions such as a “book original function” for so-called book finishing are appropriately combined.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the badge selection screen 2. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a first example of a functional configuration of the multifunction machine 1. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the relationship between the function badge row 300 and the badge selection screen 2. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of scrolling by the first group scroll button 61.

  Next, the badge selection screen 2 shown in FIG. 5 will be described together with its display method and operation method.

  When the user performs a predetermined operation, the controller 1a activates the badge selection screen display program 10. For example, when the user presses one of the “copy”, “fax / scan”, and “box” function keys in the keyboard 1h2, the badge selection screen display program 10 is activated.

  According to the badge selection screen display program 10, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101, the badge selection screen display control unit 102, the motion type etc. determination unit 103, the operated function badge storage unit 104, and the slide gauge position determination unit 105 shown in FIG. , A badge position determination unit 106, a marker position determination unit 107, a screen data storage unit 108, and the like are realized.

  Hereinafter, the processing contents of the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 to the screen data storage unit 108, the badge selection screen 2, and the like will be described taking the case where the “copy” function key is pressed as an example.

  First, the badge selection screen 2 shown in FIG. 5 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the badge selection screen 2 includes a first function badge area 2A, a scroll track 2B, a slide gauge movement area 2C, and a first function badge area 2D.

  A function badge column 300 is displayed in the first function badge area 2A. The function badge row 300 includes a plurality of function badges 3 arranged in the horizontal direction. Hereinafter, a case where 26 function badges 3 are provided will be described as an example. Normally, the function badges 3 are arranged in one row in the first function badge area 2A, but a part may be arranged in the second function badge area 2D. This will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the height (vertical length) of the function badge row 300 is much lower than the height of the first function badge area 2A. However, the width (lateral length) of the function badge row 300 is considerably longer than the width of the first function badge area 2A. Therefore, usually only a part of the function badge row 300 appears in the first function badge area 2A.

  However, as will be described later, the user can view the remaining portion of the function badge row 300 by scrolling the function badge row 300 in the horizontal direction in the first function badge area 2A. Hereinafter, the function badges 3 may be distinguished from “function badge 3A”, “function badge 3B”,..., “Function badge 3Z” in order from the left.

  The function badge 3 is an icon representing an optional function, and one function badge 3 is prepared for each optional function provided in the multifunction device 1. In the present embodiment, since the “copy” function key is pressed, the function badges 3 of optional functions used together with the copy function are arranged in the function badge column 300.

  On the function badge 3, the name of the optional function corresponding to it is written. The design of the function badge 3 may be changed according to the setting contents of the optional function. 7, 8, 12, and 21, the design of the function badge 3 is omitted.

  Each optional function is divided into any one of a plurality of categories according to its contents. The optional functions belonging to the same category are grouped into one group. The function badges 3 belonging to the same group are continuously arranged.

  The distance between two function badges 3 adjacent to each other is kept at a constant distance. Alternatively, two adjacent function badges 3 may be brought into contact with no gap.

  A plurality of markers 4 are arranged in the horizontal direction on the scroll track 2B. The marker 4 is an icon. The number of markers 4 is the same as the number of function badges 3. The function badge 3A, the function badge 3B,..., And the function badge 3Z correspond in order from the left marker 4. Hereinafter, each marker 4 may be described separately from the “marker 4A”, “marker 4B”,..., “Marker 4Z” in order from the left. Therefore, the marker 4A, the marker 4B,..., The marker 4Z correspond to the function badge 3A, the function badge 3B,.

  The width of the scroll track 2B is almost the same as the width of the badge selection screen 2. Therefore, the user can view all the parts of the scroll track 2B at a time.

  The slide gauge movement area 2C is provided immediately below the scroll track 2B. Similar to the width of the scroll track 2B, the width of the slide gauge moving area 2C is substantially the same as the width of the badge selection screen 2.

  The slide gauge 5 includes a slide bar 51 and a window 52 (see FIG. 5). The slide bar 51 is an icon that moves in the left-right direction (horizontal direction, width direction) in the slide gauge movement area 2C according to a user operation. Therefore, the slide bar 51 moves in parallel along the lower side of the scroll track 2B in accordance with a user operation. For simplicity of explanation, in this embodiment, the slide bar 51 is not moved in the vertical direction.

  The window 52 corresponds to a reduced size of the first function badge area 2A. The window 52 is provided immediately above the slide bar 51. The height of the window 52 is slightly higher than the height of the scroll track 2B. Further, the width of the window 52 is slightly longer than the width of the slide bar 51. Therefore, the window 52 can surround some markers 4 in the scroll track 2B, which are directly above the slide bar 51.

  The window 52 is fixed to the slide bar 51. Therefore, the window 52 moves together when the slide bar 51 moves. The user can change the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52 by operating the slide bar 51.

  In the first function badge area 2A, as described above, usually only a part of the function badge column 300, that is, only a part of the 26 function badges 3 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 5, only the function badge 3 corresponding to the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52 is displayed in the first function badge area 2A. As the slide bar 51 moves, the marker 4 enclosed by the window 52 changes, and the function badge 3 displayed in the first function badge area 2A also changes.

  As described above, as the slide bar 51 moves, the function badge row 300 scrolls in the first function badge area 2A.

  Similarly to the function badge area 2A, the function badge 3 is also arranged in the second function badge area 2D. The arrangement of the function badge 3 in the second function badge area 2D will be described in detail later.

  Next, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 to the screen data storage unit 108 shown in FIG. 6 will be described. The process of displaying the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1 h 0 is realized by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 or the screen data storage unit 108.

  The screen data storage unit 108 stores image data for displaying each object constituting the badge selection screen 2. These image data are used by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101.

  The badge selection screen data generation unit 101 generates bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 in a state corresponding to the operation by the user.

  When the function key is pressed, bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 corresponding to the function related to the function key is generated. However, in this case, the slide gauge 5 is arranged at a default position. Therefore, the function badge 3 arranged on the badge selection screen 2 is also determined by itself.

  When the user operates the slide bar 51, the first group scroll button 61, or the second group scroll button 62, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 changes the bit of the badge selection screen 2 changed according to the operation. Modify the map data. This will be described later.

  The badge selection screen display control unit 102 displays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the bitmap data generated by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101.

  In order to scroll the function badge row 300, the user slides the position where the slide bar 51 is displayed on the touch panel 1h1 on the touch panel 1h1 with a finger or a pen and slides it to the right or left while looking at the badge selection screen 2. . The operation “slide” corresponds to an operation of dragging an object with a mouse. When the user wants to scroll the function badge row 300 little by little, the user may slide the slide bar 51.

  Alternatively, the user can quickly scroll the function badge row 300 in groups by tapping the first group scroll button 61 or the second group scroll button 62. The operation “tap” corresponds to an operation of clicking an object with a mouse, and is an operation of pressing down the touch panel 1h1.

  When the first group scroll button 61 is tapped, only some of the member function badges 3 appear in the first function badge area 2A and the rest are hidden on the right side of the first function badge area 2A. The function badge row 300 is scrolled so that the group is located at the left end of the first function badge area 2A.

  That is, for example, assume that the function badge 3 is currently displayed in the first function badge area 2A as shown in FIG. The function badges 3A to 3C form a first group. The function badges 3D to 3F form the second group. The function badges 3G to 3J form a third group. The function badges 3K to 3O form a fourth group. The function badges 3P to 3U form a fifth group. The function badges 3V to 3X form a sixth group. The function badges 3Y to 3Z form a seventh group.

  At this time, when the first group scroll button 61 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 8B, the group of function badges 3G to 3J is arranged at the left end of the first function badge area 2A. The function badge column 300 scrolls.

  Similarly, when the second group scroll button 62 is tapped, only some of the member function badges 3 appear in the first function badge area 2A, and the rest are in the first function badge area 2A. The function badge row 300 scrolls so that the group hidden on the left side is arranged at the right end of the first function badge area 2A.

  Alternatively, when the user selects an optional function, the user taps the function badge 3 corresponding to the optional function.

  The touch panel 1h1 detects the touched position at each time. Then, the touch panel 1h1 notifies the controller 1a of the detected position at each time. Hereinafter, the touched position is referred to as a “contact position”.

  The motion type discriminating unit 103 discriminates the type and target of the operation (motion) performed by the user based on the detection result notified from the touch panel 1h1 as follows.

  When the distance between the first contact position and the subsequent arbitrary contact position (hereinafter referred to as “contact displacement distance”) while being touched is greater than or equal to a predetermined distance, the motion type determination unit 103 Determines that the operation is “slide”. Then, the object (for example, the slide bar 51) arranged at the first contact position is determined as the operation target.

  Therefore, the motion type discriminating unit 103 discriminates that the operation is “slide” when another contact position that is more than a predetermined distance from the first contact position is detected.

  On the other hand, when the contact displacement distance is less than the predetermined value, the motion type determination unit 103 determines that the operation is “tap”. Then, an object (for example, one of the function badges 3A to 3Z, the first group scroll button 61, the second group scroll button 62, or the display button 63) arranged at the first contact position is operated. It is determined that it is a target.

  Accordingly, the motion type discriminating unit 103 determines that the operation is “tap” when a finger or the like moves away from the touch panel 1h1 without detecting another contact position that is a predetermined distance or more away from the first contact position. Determine.

  The operated function badge storage unit 104 stores an operated flag 7 for each option function. The operated flag 7 indicates whether an operation for an optional function has been performed. “1” means that an operation has already been performed. On the other hand, “0” means that no operation has been performed yet.

  The values of all the operated flags 7 immediately after starting the badge selection screen display program 10 are “0”. Thereafter, when the function badge 3 is selected and an operation related to the optional function related to the function badge 3 is performed, the operated flag 7 of the function badge 3 is updated to “1”.

  The display method differs depending on whether or not the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation flag 7 is “1” is arranged in the function badge area 2A. Hereinafter, the processing of the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the like will be described separately for the case where the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation completion flag 7 is “1” is present and the case where it is not.

[When there is no function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1”]
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the badge selection screen 2 in a state where only part of the functional badges 3 at both ends appear.

  When the motion type discriminating unit 103 determines that the user's operation is a slide and the target is the slide bar 51, the slide gauge position determining unit 105 touches based on the result detected by the touch panel 1h1. The position of the slide gauge 5 at each time is determined while being held. When the position of the slide gauge 5 is determined, the position of the window 52 is naturally determined.

  For example, when the user slides while touching the center of the slide bar 51 and Xc is detected as the X coordinate value of the contact position at a certain time Tc, the center of the slide bar 51 becomes the coordinate (Xc, Yo). The position is determined to be the position of the slide gauge 5 at time Tc. As described above, since the slide gauge 5 does not move in the vertical direction, “Yo” is a predetermined value. Alternatively, the position of the slide bar 51 may be determined based on the amount and direction of finger movement.

  Based on the position of the slide gauge 5 determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105, the badge position determination unit 106 determines the function badges 3 to be displayed in the first function badge area 2A and their positions as follows.

  When the position of the slide gauge 5 is determined, the position of the window 52 is naturally determined. The badge position determination unit 106 identifies a portion of the function badge row 300 surrounded by the window 52. In the identified part, a plurality of markers 4 are arranged in a horizontal row.

  As described above, the window 52 corresponds to an area obtained by reducing the function badge area 2A. Therefore, the badge position determination unit 106 determines the function badge 3 corresponding to each marker 4 arranged in the specified portion as the function badge 3 to be displayed in the function badge area 2A. Further, the badge position determination unit 106 enlarges the specified portion to a predetermined magnification (so as to have the same size as the function badge area 2A), and arranges each specified portion in the specified portion when it is arranged in the function badge area 2A. The position of the marker 4 is calculated. Then, the calculated position of each marker 4 is determined as the position of each function badge 3 corresponding to each marker 4.

  For example, when all the markers 4O, 4P,..., And 4V are surrounded by the window 52 as shown in FIG. 5, the badge position determination unit 106 sequentially sets the function badges 3O, 3P,. When all parts of are displayed, it is determined.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, when the right half of the marker 4O, all the parts of the markers 4P, 4Q,..., And 4V and the left half of the marker 4W are surrounded by the window 52, the badge position is determined. The unit 106 determines that the right half of the function badge 3O, all the function badges 3P, 3Q,..., And 3V and the left half of the function badge 3W are displayed in order from the left.

  As can be seen by comparing FIG. 5 and FIG. 9, all parts of all the function badges 3 arranged in the function badge area 2 </ b> A may appear in the function badge area 2 </ b> A. Only part of the functional badge 3 at the right end and the left end may appear in the functional badge area 2A.

  The badge selection screen data generation unit 101 corrects the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 so that the slide gauge 5 and the function badge 3 are arranged as determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the badge position determination unit 106. To do.

  Then, the badge selection screen display control unit 102 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the bitmap data corrected by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101.

  The badge selection screen data generation unit 101 corrects the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 based on the contents determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the badge position determination unit 106, respectively. That is, the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 is generated again.

  Specifically, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 corrects the bitmap data of a part of the badge selection screen 2 so that the objects are arranged as follows. The slide gauge 5 is arranged at the position determined by the slide gauge position determining unit 105. As determined by the badge position determination unit 106, the function badge 3 is arranged in the first function badge area 2A.

  Then, the badge selection screen display control unit 102 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the bitmap data corrected by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101.

  Alternatively, when the motion type determination unit 103 determines that the user's operation is a tap and the target is the first group scroll button 61, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101, the badge selection screen display control unit 102, the slide gauge position determination unit 105, and the badge position determination unit 106 execute a process for scrolling the function badge row 300 in units of groups (categories) as follows.

  The badge position determination unit 106 presents a group in which only a part of the function badges 3 that are members currently appear in the first function badge area 2A and the rest are hidden on the right side of the first function badge area 2A. Determine.

  And the badge position determination part 106 determines the position of each function badge 3 so that the group may be arrange | positioned at the left end of 2 A of 1st function badge areas. The determination of the position when the function badge 3 of the optional function having the operated flag 7 of “1” exists will be described later.

  The slide gauge position determination unit 105 determines the position of the slide gauge 5 at a position where the slide bar 51 points to the marker 4 corresponding to the function badge 3 for which the badge position determination unit 106 has determined the arrangement in the function badge area 2A. For example, when it is determined that the function badges 3G to 3N should be arranged in the function badge area 2A, the slide gauge position determination unit 105 determines the position of the slide gauge 5 to a position indicating the markers 4G to 4N. .

  Then, similarly to the case where the slide bar 51 is slid, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 determines the bit of the badge selection screen 2 based on the contents determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the badge position determination unit 106, respectively. Modify the map data. That is, the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 is generated again. The badge selection screen display control unit 102 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the corrected bitmap data.

  Alternatively, when the motion type determination unit 103 determines that the user's operation is a tap and the target is the second group scroll button 62, the slide gauge position determination unit 105, the badge position determination unit 106, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101, and the badge selection screen display control unit 102 perform the scrolling of the function badge row 300. However, in this case, a process opposite to that performed when the first group scroll button 61 is pressed is performed.

  The user finds the function badge 3 of the optional function that he / she wants to set while appropriately operating the slide bar 51, the first group scroll button 61, and the second group scroll button 62 as described above. Then, the function badge 3 is tapped.

  Then, the multifunction device 1 changes the setting value of the optional function. For example, if the function badge 3 is for switching whether to use the optional function, that is, “on” and “off”, the multifunction device 1 Change the setting value that indicates whether to use the optional function.

  Alternatively, the multifunction device 1 displays a dialog box on the badge selection screen 2 for inputting setting values of some items related to the optional function. Here, the user inputs the value of each item. Then, the multifunction device 1 closes the dialog box and changes the setting value of each item to the input value.

  The operated function badge storage unit 104 changes the operated flag 7 of the optional function whose setting value is changed by tapping the function badge 3 to “1”. Alternatively, when the function badge 3 is tapped but the set value is not changed, the operation completion flag 7 may be changed to “1”. This is because it is considered that the user has determined that no change is necessary.

[When there is a function badge 3 in which the operated flag 7 is “1”]
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of movement of the function badge 3. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the badge selection screen 2 after the function badge 3 is moved. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the badge selection screen 2 when the slide gauge 5 corresponds to the function badge row 301.

  When the operation completed flag 7 of the optional function is updated to “1” as described above, the process of moving the function badge 3 of the optional function from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D The determination is performed as follows by the determination unit 105, the badge position determination unit 106, and the like.

  The marker position determination unit 107 excludes the marker 4 having the optional function from the objects to be arranged on the scroll track 2B. Then, the position of the other marker 4 on the right side of the marker 4 is determined as a position shifted to the left by one marker. Thereby, the member (marker 4) surrounded by the window 52 changes.

  The badge position determination unit 106 specifies the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52. And the position of the function badge 3 corresponding to each specified marker 4 is determined by the method similar to the method mentioned above.

  Furthermore, the badge position determination unit 106 determines the position of the function badge 3 of the optional function as a predetermined position in the second function badge area 2D. For example, an area for each group (hereinafter referred to as “group area”) is provided in advance in the second function badge area 2D. Then, the badge position determination unit 106 determines the position of the function badge 3 of the optional function as an empty position in the group area of the group to which the optional function belongs.

  Then, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 corrects the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 based on the contents determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the badge position determination unit 106, respectively. The badge selection screen display control unit 102 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the corrected bitmap data.

  According to the above process, for example, when the badge selection screen 2 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5 and the operation completion flag 7 of the optional function related to the function badge 3T is updated to “1”, FIG. As shown, the function badge 3T moves to the second function badge area 2D, the marker 4T is excluded, and the marker 4 (4U, 4V,..., 4Z) on the right side of the marker 4T shifts to the left. As a result, the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52 changes. Then, the badge selection screen 2 is displayed as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, a column constituted by the function badge 3 moved to the second function badge area 2D is referred to as a “function badge column 301”.

  Thereafter, each time the function badge 3 remaining in the function badge area 2A is selected and set, the function badge 3 is moved to the second function badge area 2D by the above-described processing and corresponds to the function badge 3 The marker 4 is deleted from the scroll track 2B.

  As in the case of the function badge row 300, it is desirable that the function badges 3 constituting the function badge row 301 are grouped and the function badges 3 belonging to the same group are continuously arranged. In addition, when two adjacent function badges 3 are separated from each other by a certain distance, it is desirable to close the distance between the two so that the distance between them becomes a certain distance.

  When the user slides the slide bar 51, the slide gauge position determination unit 105, badge position determination unit 106, badge selection screen data generation unit 101, and badge selection screen display control unit 102 indicate that the operation completion flag 7 is “ The function badge row 300 is scrolled in a state where the function badge 3 of the optional function “1” is removed. This is because the optional function marker 4 having the operated flag 7 of “1” is excluded from the scroll track 2B. Also, when the user taps the first group scroll button 61 and the second group scroll button 62, the function badge row 300 is removed in a state where the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation completion flag 7 is “1” is excluded. Scroll.

  By the way, a plurality of optional functions may have an exclusive relationship. For example, a certain plurality of optional functions may not be used at the same time. In this case, the slide gauge position determination unit 105, the badge position determination unit 106, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101, and the badge selection screen display control unit 102 indicate that the operated flag 7 of these optional functions is “ When “1”, the function badges 3 of the remaining optional functions may be moved from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D regardless of the values of the respective operation completion flags 7. Or, if a specific setting is made for an optional function, the other optional function may not be used. Also in this case, the function badge 3 of the other optional function may be moved from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D.

  Further, when the function badges 3 successively move from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D, the function badge moved to the second function badge area 2D rather than the function badge 3 to be arranged in the function badge area 2A. There are cases where 3 is greater. In this case, the slide gauge 5 may be used for scrolling the function badge row 301 in the second function badge area 2D.

  Specifically, the slide gauge position determination unit 105 sets the operation completed flag 7 of any optional function to “1”, and the position of the function badge 3 in the second function badge area 2D is determined by the badge position determination unit 106. When determined, the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the like perform processing as follows.

  The slide gauge position determination unit 105 counts and compares the number Cm of option functions whose operated flag 7 is still “0” and the number Cn of option functions whose already operated flag 7 is “1”.

  When the number Cn is larger than the number Cm, the slide gauge position determination unit 105 determines that each marker 4 corresponding to each function badge 3 constituting the function badge row 301 is arranged on the scroll track 2B. Furthermore, the position of each marker 4 is matched with the arrangement order of the function badges 3.

  For example, when the function badge row 301 is composed of 14 function badges 3 and the function badges 3 are the function badges 3A to 3D, 3H to 3L, and 3S to 3W in order from the left, the slide gauge position determination unit 105 It is determined that the markers 4A to 4D, 4H to 4L, and 4S to 4W are arranged in order from the left of the scroll track 2B.

  Then, the bitmap data on the badge selection screen 2 is corrected so that the slide gauge 5 and the function badge 3 are arranged as determined by the slide gauge position determination unit 105 and the badge position determination unit 106. Based on the bitmap data corrected by the badge selection screen data generation unit 101, the badge selection screen display control unit 102 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 as shown in FIG.

  With the above processing, the slide gauge 5 corresponds to the second function badge area 2D. Thereafter, when the slide bar 51 is slid, the badge position determination unit 106 or the like scrolls the function badge row 301 in the second function badge area 2D in accordance with the change of the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a first example of the overall processing flow of the multifunction machine 1.

  Next, the processing flow of the multifunction machine 1 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Each time the operation is performed, the multi-function device 1 executes processing according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the function badge 3 is selected from the function badge area 2A and the setting operation is performed as necessary (Yes in # 701 in FIG. 13), the multifunction device 1 scrolls the marker 4 corresponding to the function badge 3 While deleting from the track 2B (# 702), the function badge 3 is moved to the second function badge area 2D (# 703). Further, before or after or in parallel with these processes, another optional function that is in an exclusive relationship with the optional function related to the function badge 3 and whose operation flag 7 is “0” is checked (# 704). ).

  If there is such another optional function (Yes in # 705), the marker 4 of the other optional function is deleted from the scroll track 2B (# 706), and the function badge 3 of the other optional function is set to the first. Move to the second function badge area 2D (# 707).

  Then, the multifunction device 1 appropriately shifts the remaining marker 4 from right to left in order to fill the position of the deleted marker 4 (# 708). As a result, the marker 4 pointed to by the slide gauge 5 changes, so that the multifunction device 1 also shifts the function badge 3 to the left (# 709).

  Further, the multi function device 1 counts and compares the number Cm of option functions whose operated flag 7 is “0” and the number Cn of option functions whose operated flag 7 is “1” (# 710). If the number Cn is larger than the number Cm (Yes in # 711), the slide gauge 5 is set by placing each marker 4 corresponding to each function badge 3 in the function badge row 301 on the scroll track 2B. The function badge row 301 is used for scrolling (# 712).

  Alternatively, when the multifunction device 1 detects an operation other than the tap of the function badge 3 such as the slide bar 51 being slid (No in # 701), the multifunction device 1 appropriately executes a process corresponding to the operation (# 714). . For example, when the slide of the slide bar 51 is detected, the function badge row 300 or the function badge row 301 is scrolled according to the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a second example of the functional configuration of the multifunction machine 1. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the badge selection screen 2 including one reduced function badge 3. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the badge selection screen 2 including two reduced function badges 3.

  In the first embodiment, the function badge 3 of the optional function with the operated flag 7 set to “1” is moved from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D, but in the second embodiment, The size is reduced while being placed in the function badge area 2A.

  The hardware configuration of the multifunction machine 1 in the second embodiment is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, and is as described with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG.

  However, a badge selection screen display program 12 is installed in the ROM 1c or the mass storage device 1d instead of the badge selection screen display program 10 (see FIG. 6).

  The badge selection screen display program 12 includes a badge selection screen data generation unit 121, a badge selection screen display control unit 122, a motion type determination unit 123, an operated function badge storage unit 124, and a slide gauge position size determination unit 125 illustrated in FIG. , A badge position size determining unit 126, a marker position determining unit 127, a screen data storage unit 128, and the like.

  Hereinafter, the processing content of each part shown in FIG. 14 is demonstrated centering on the point which is different from 1st embodiment. Description of points common to the first embodiment is omitted.

  The roles of the badge selection screen data generation unit 121 through the screen data storage unit 128 are basically the same as the roles of the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 through the screen data storage unit 108 (see FIG. 6) of the first embodiment. .

  Since the content of the processing when the function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1” does not exist is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, a process when the function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1” exists will be described.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when the operation completion flag 7 of the optional function is updated to “1”, the multi-function device 1 displays the function badge 3 of the optional function with a reduced size.

  Specifically, the badge position size determination unit 126 first determines the function badge 3 to be arranged in the function badge area 2A in the same manner as when the function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1” does not exist. To do. That is, it is determined when the function badge 3 corresponding to the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52 is arranged in the function badge area 2A.

  Further, the badge position size determination unit 126 sets the size of the function badge 3 whose optional function is “1” among the function badges 3 determined to be arranged in the function badge area 2A, and the size of the other function badge 3 Determine a smaller size. For example, the size is reduced to 50% both vertically and horizontally.

  Then, the space between the function badge 3 whose size is reduced (reduced) and the function badge 3 on the right side of the function badge 3 is expanded. Therefore, the badge position size determination unit 126 shifts the position of the function badge 3 on the right side of the function badge 3 to be reduced to the left by the spread distance.

  Then, a space is formed on the right side of the function badge area 2A by the shifted distance. Therefore, the badge position size determination unit 126 adds the function badge 3 to the space according to the width (lateral length) of the space.

  The slide gauge position size determination unit 125 changes the size of the slide gauge 5 so as to point to the added function badge 3.

  Then, the badge selection screen data generation unit 121 corrects the bitmap data of the badge selection screen 2 based on the contents determined by the slide gauge position size determination unit 125 and the badge position size determination unit 126, respectively. The badge selection screen display control unit 122 redisplays the badge selection screen 2 on the liquid crystal display 1h0 based on the corrected bitmap data.

  According to these processes, for example, when the function badge 3T is tapped when the badge selection screen 2 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5 and a setting change operation is performed as necessary, as shown in FIG. , The function badge 3T is reduced, the right function badge 3 (3U, 3V,...) Is shifted to the left, and a part of the function badge 3W is newly displayed in the remaining space on the right side. Further, when the function badge 3U is tapped and the operation for changing the setting is performed as necessary, the function badge 3U is reduced as shown in FIG. 16, and the function badge 3 (3V, 3W) on the right side is left as shown in FIG. Shift to. Thereby, all the parts of the function badge 3W appear.

  As in the case of the first embodiment, the function badge 3 of another optional function that has an exclusive relationship with the option function related to the operated function badge 3 may also be processed. That is, the function badge 3 of the other optional function may be reduced.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating a second example of the overall processing flow of the multifunction machine 1.

  Next, the flow of processing of the multifunction machine 1 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Each time the operation is performed, the multi-function device 1 executes processing according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the function badge 3 is selected from the function badge area 2A and the setting operation is performed as necessary (Yes in # 721 in FIG. 17), the multi function device 1 reduces the function badge 3 (# 722). . Further, before or after or in parallel with the reduction process, another optional function that is in an exclusive relationship with the optional function related to the function badge 3 and whose operated flag 7 is “0” is checked (# 723). ).

  If there is such other optional function (Yes in # 724), the multi function device 1 also reduces the function badge 3 of the other optional function (# 725).

  Then, the multifunction device 1 shifts the function badge 3 on the right side of the reduced function badge 3 to the left (# 726). Further, the slide bar 51 is expanded so as to point to the function badge 3 newly arranged in the function badge area 2A by the shift (# 727).

  Alternatively, when the multifunction device 1 detects an operation other than the tap of the function badge 3 such as the slide bar 51 being slid (No in # 721), the multifunction device 1 appropriately executes a process corresponding to the operation (# 728). .

[Third embodiment]
FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a third example of the functional configuration of the multifunction machine 1. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the badge selection screen 2 on which the selected function button 65 is arranged. FIG. 20 is a diagram for explaining an example of transition of the badge selection screen 2 in the third embodiment. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the list screen 2L.

  In the first embodiment, the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation completion flag 7 is “1” is moved from the function badge area 2A to the second function badge area 2D. In the second embodiment, the size is reduced while being arranged in the function badge area 2A. In the third embodiment, it is temporarily hidden and displayed again when a predetermined button is pressed.

  The hardware configuration of the multifunction machine 1 in the second embodiment is basically the same as that in the first embodiment, and is as described with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG.

  However, a badge selection screen display program 13 is installed in the ROM 1c or the mass storage device 1d instead of the badge selection screen display program 10 (see FIG. 6).

  The badge selection screen display program 13 includes a badge selection screen data generation unit 131, a badge selection screen display control unit 132, a motion type determination unit 133, an operated function badge storage unit 134, and a slide gauge position size determination unit 135 shown in FIG. , A badge position determination unit 136, a screen data storage unit 138, and the like.

  Hereinafter, the processing content of each part shown in FIG. 18 is demonstrated centering on the point which is different from 1st embodiment. Description of points common to the first embodiment is omitted.

  The roles of the badge selection screen data generation unit 131 through the screen data storage unit 138 are basically the same as the roles of the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 through the screen data storage unit 108 (see FIG. 6) of the first embodiment. .

  Since the content of the processing when the function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1” does not exist is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, a process when the function badge 3 having the operated flag 7 of “1” exists will be described.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, when the operation completion flag 7 of the optional function is updated to “1”, the multi function device 1 hides the function badge 3 of the optional function.

  Specifically, as in the case of the first embodiment, the marker position determination unit 137 excludes the optional function marker 4 from the objects to be arranged on the scroll track 2B. Then, the position of the other marker 4 on the right side of the marker 4 is determined as a position shifted to the left by one marker. Thereby, the member (marker 4) surrounded by the window 52 changes.

  The badge position determination unit 136 specifies the marker 4 surrounded by the window 52 as in the case of the first embodiment. Then, the position of the function badge 3 corresponding to each identified marker 4 is determined. However, unlike the case of the first embodiment, the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation completion flag 7 is “1” is not moved to the second function badge area 2D.

  Instead, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 and the badge selection screen display control unit 102 cause the liquid crystal display 1h0 to display a screen on which the selected function button 65 is arranged as the badge selection screen 2 as shown in FIG. As a result, the user can feel as if the function badge 3 of the optional function whose operation completed flag 7 is “1” is stored in the selected function button 65 as shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, when the selected function button 65 is tapped, the badge selection screen data generation unit 101 and the badge selection screen display control unit 102 display the list screen 2L in which the function badges 3 whose operation completion flag 7 is “1” are arranged. As shown in FIG. 21, it is displayed on the badge selection screen 2 as a so-called pop-up window.

  As in the case of the first embodiment, the function badge 3 of another optional function that has an exclusive relationship with the option function related to the operated function badge 3 may also be processed. That is, the function badge 3 of the other optional function may be deleted from the function badge area 2A, and when the selected function button 65 is tapped, the function badge 3 may be arranged on the list screen 2L and displayed as a pop-up.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating a third example of the overall processing flow of the multifunction machine 1.

  Next, the flow of processing of the multifunction machine 1 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Each time the operation is performed, the multi-function device 1 executes processing according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the function badge 3 is selected from the function badge area 2A and the setting operation is performed as necessary (Yes in # 731 in FIG. 22), the multifunction device 1 scrolls the marker 4 corresponding to the function badge 3 While deleting from the track 2B (# 732), the function badge 3 is deleted from the function badge area 2A (# 733). If the selected function button 65 has not been displayed yet, the selected function button 65 is displayed (# 734).

  Further, before or after or in parallel with these processes, the multi-function device 1 has another optional function that is in an exclusive relationship with the optional function related to the function badge 3 and whose operated flag 7 is “0”. Check (# 735).

  When there is such another optional function (Yes in # 736), the marker 4 of the other optional function is deleted from the scroll track 2B (# 737), and the function badge 3 of the other optional function is activated. It is deleted from the badge area 2A (# 738).

  Then, the multifunction device 1 appropriately shifts the remaining marker 4 to the left in order to fill the position of the deleted marker 4 (# 739). As a result, the marker 4 indicated by the slide gauge 5 is changed, so that the multifunction device 1 also shifts the function badge 3 to the left (# 740).

  Alternatively, when the selected function button 65 is tapped (No in # 731, Yes in # 741), the multifunction machine 1 has the function badge 3 that is deleted from the function badge area 2A, that is, the operated flag 7 is “1”. A list screen 2L in which a certain function badge 3 is arranged is displayed as a pop-up window (# 742).

  Alternatively, when the multifunction device 1 detects an operation other than the tap of the function badge 3 such as the slide bar 51 being slid (No in # 741), the multifunction device 1 appropriately executes a process corresponding to the operation (# 743). .

  According to the first to third embodiments, the user can find the target icon more easily than before.

  In particular, according to the first embodiment and the third embodiment, the operated or set function badge 3 is moved to the second function badge area 2D or the list screen 2L, and the function badge area 2A is not operated or not operated. Since only the setting function badges 3 are arranged and the number of markers 4 arranged on the scroll track 2B is reduced and the moving distance of the slide gauge 5 is shortened, the user can find the target icon more easily than in the past. .

  In addition, according to the second embodiment, the function badge 3 that has been operated or set is small, so that the user can find the target icon more easily than in the past.

  In the first to third embodiments, the function badge 3 and the marker 4 are arranged in the left-right direction, and the function badge row 300, 301 and the slide gauge 5 are moved in the left-right direction, but are arranged in the up-down direction and moved in the up-down direction. Even in this case, the present invention can be applied.

  In the first to third embodiments, the slide bar 51 is moved by sliding the touch panel, but the slide bar 51 may be moved by operating a mouse or a keyboard. Alternatively, instead of displaying the slide bar 51 on the liquid crystal display 1h0, a mechanical tangible object such as a lever, a switch, or a handle may be prepared.

  In addition, the configuration of the entire MFP 1 or each unit, processing contents, processing order, data configuration, screen configuration, and the like can be appropriately changed in accordance with the spirit of the present invention.
