Description

表示装置及び表示方法Display device and display method
　本発明は、表示装置及び表示方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a display device and a display method.
　近年、画像形成装置に対して、小型化が要求されている。そこで、タッチパネルを備える画像形成装置においては、ハードウェアキーが削除され、ハードウェアキーの代替手段として、タッチパネル（画面）にソフトキーが表示される。従って、画像形成装置には小型化が実現されている。しかしながら、タッチパネルにソフトキーを表示させる場合、ソフトキーの表示サイズは、タッチパネルのサイズに依存して決定される。従って、タッチパネルのサイズが小さい程、ソフトキーの表示サイズは小さくなる。その結果、ユーザーにとって、ソフトキーの操作性が低下する。 In recent years, there is a demand for downsizing image forming apparatuses. Therefore, in an image forming apparatus including a touch panel, the hardware key is deleted, and a soft key is displayed on the touch panel (screen) as an alternative to the hardware key. Therefore, downsizing of the image forming apparatus is realized. However, when displaying a soft key on the touch panel, the display size of the soft key is determined depending on the size of the touch panel. Therefore, the smaller the touch panel size, the smaller the soft key display size. As a result, the operability of the soft key is lowered for the user.
　そこで、特許文献１に記載の画像形成装置では、タッチパネルにソフトキーを表示させるとともに、ハードウェアキーボードが接続される。ユーザーは、ソフトキーを操作することで、タッチパネルに表示される画面を切り替え、ハードウェアキーボードを操作することで、キー入力を行う。 Therefore, in the image forming apparatus described in Patent Document 1, a soft keyboard is displayed on the touch panel and a hardware keyboard is connected. The user switches the screen displayed on the touch panel by operating a soft key, and performs key input by operating a hardware keyboard.

　項目取得部１０５は、テーブル４１を参照して、ソフトキー２３の項目を取得する。具体的には、項目取得部１０５は、画面情報取得部１０１が取得する画面情報、及びステータス情報取得部１０３が取得するステータス情報からソフトキー２３の項目を取得する。テーブル４１に設定されるソフトキー２３の項目は、ユーザーが任意に設定できる。 The item acquisition unit 105 refers to the table 41 and acquires the item of the soft key 23. Specifically, the item acquisition unit 105 acquires the item of the soft key 23 from the screen information acquired by the screen information acquisition unit 101 and the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit 103. The items of the soft keys 23 set in the table 41 can be arbitrarily set by the user.
　図４Ａは、表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３の一例を示す。表示制御部１０７は、ハードキー３０が押下されることに応じて、ソフトキー２３を表示部２０に表示させる。表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３は、項目取得部１０５が取得したソフトキー２３の項目に対応する。ユーザーは、ソフトキー２３を介して、つまり、表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３に接触して、画像形成装置に動作指示を入力する。 FIG. 4A shows an example of the soft key 23 displayed on the display unit 20. The display control unit 107 displays the soft key 23 on the display unit 20 in response to the hard key 30 being pressed. The soft keys 23 displayed on the display unit 20 correspond to the items of the soft keys 23 acquired by the item acquisition unit 105. The user inputs an operation instruction to the image forming apparatus via the soft key 23, that is, by touching the soft key 23 displayed on the display unit 20.
　表示制御部１０７は、入力画面２１に動作指示が入力されること、つまり、ユーザーがソフトキー２３を介して動作指示を入力することに応じて、表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３を非表示にする。また、表示制御部１０７は、表示部２０にソフトキー２３が表示される状態で、ハードキー３０が押下されることに応じて、表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３を非表示にする。従って、ユーザーは、容易な操作で表示部２０に表示されるソフトキー２３を非表示にできる。 The display control unit 107 displays the soft key 23 displayed on the display unit 20 in response to the operation instruction being input to the input screen 21, that is, in response to the user inputting the operation instruction via the soft key 23. Display. The display control unit 107 hides the soft key 23 displayed on the display unit 20 in response to the hard key 30 being pressed while the soft key 23 is displayed on the display unit 20. Therefore, the user can hide the soft key 23 displayed on the display unit 20 with an easy operation.

For example, when the image forming apparatus is in a job state, the user does not set items of the soft key 23 relating to power supply to the image forming apparatus. Therefore, when the image forming apparatus is in a job state, the user can hide the soft key 23 corresponding to the operation instruction for suppressing the supply of power to the image forming apparatus. As a result, it is possible to prevent the supply of power to the image forming apparatus from being suppressed to the image forming apparatus in the job state based on an erroneous operation instruction by the user.
　また、本実施形態によれば、ユーザーは、入力画面２１にシステム画面が表示されている場合に、ジョブの実行開始に関するソフトキー２３の項目を設定させない。従って、ユーザーは、入力画面２１にシステム画面が表示されている状態である場合に、画像形成装置がジョブを実行開始するための動作指示に対応するソフトキー２３を非表示にできる。その結果、オペレーションシステムの設定中画像形成装置に対して、ユーザーの誤った動作指示に基づく画像形成装置の誤作動を防止できる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, when the system screen is displayed on the input screen 21, the user does not set the item of the soft key 23 related to the job execution start. Therefore, when the system screen is displayed on the input screen 21, the user can hide the soft key 23 corresponding to the operation instruction for the image forming apparatus to start executing the job. As a result, it is possible to prevent malfunction of the image forming apparatus based on an erroneous operation instruction of the user with respect to the image forming apparatus being set in the operation system.
