Image forming apparatus, display method for an operation screen, and computer program

An image forming apparatus comprising a display and a touch panel provided on a display surface of the display, the image forming apparatus comprising a normal mode in which processing is performed every time operation is performed with the touch panel and a play back mode in which processing is performed on the basis of recording of the operation,

• the image forming apparatus comprising a controller configured to;
• determine a gesture represented by the series of touch events every time a series of touch events is performed on the touch panel in the normal mode;
• obtain gesture log data representing the gesture represented by the series of touch events performed on a second touch panel of another image forming apparatus;
• determine display control processing for displaying an operation screen on the display, on the basis of the determined gesture log and the obtained gesture log data,
• wherein
• e) in the normal mode, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the determined gesture,
• f) in the play back mode, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the obtained gesture log data;
• and
• execute the determined display control processing.

A storage medium including a computer program that can be executed by an image forming apparatus comprising a display and a touch panel provided on a display surface of the display, the image forming apparatus comprising a normal mode in which processing is performed every time operation is performed with the touch panel and a play back mode in which processing is performed on the basis of recording of the operation,

• the storage medium causing the image forming apparatus to:
• execute determination processing for determining, every time a series of touch events is performed on a first area of the touch panel in the normal mode, a gesture represented by the series of touch events;
• execute storage processing for storing, to a storage unit, gesture log data representing the gesture determined and touch event log data representing the series of touch events performed on a second area of the touch panel;
• execute determination processing for determining display control processing for displaying an operation screen on the display,
• wherein in the normal mode,
• a) in a case where the series of touch events is performed on the first area, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the gesture determined, and
• b) in a case where the series of touch events is performed on the second area, the display control processing is determined on the basis of an object at a position where the series of touch events is performed, and
• wherein in the play back mode,
• c) in a case where the series of touch events is performed on the first area, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the gesture log data, and
• d) in a case where the series of touch events is performed on the second area, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the touch event log data;
• and
• execute the display control processing determined in the determination processing.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program used for an image forming apparatus comprising a display and a touch panel provided on a display surface of the display, the image forming apparatus comprising a normal mode in which processing is performed every time operation is performed with the touch panel and a play back mode in which processing is performed on the basis of recording of the operation,

• the non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing the image forming apparatus to:
• execute determination processing for determining, every time a series of touch events is performed on the touch panel in the normal mode, a gesture represented by the series of touch events,
• execute obtaining processing for obtaining gesture log data representing the gesture represented by the series of touch events performed on a second touch panel of another image forming apparatus
• execute determination processing for determining display control processing for displaying an operation screen on the display,
• wherein in the determination processing,
• e) in the normal mode, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the determined gesture,
• f) in the play back mode, the display control processing is determined on the basis of the obtained gesture log data;
• and
• execute the display control processing determined in the determination processing.
