Abstract
A control section of an image forming apparatus includes a pinch-in detection section, a copy processing section, a pinch-out detection section, and a paste processing section. The pinch-in detection section detects a pinch-in operation performed on an object displayed on a touch panel. When the pinch-in operation is detected, the copy processing section copies the object or a character string included in the object. The pinch-out detection section detects a pinch-out operation performed on the touch panel. When the pinch-out operation is detected, the paste processing section pastes the object or the character string included in the object at a position at which the pinch-out operation is detected.
Claims14
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch panel;
- a pinch-in detection section that detects a pinch-in operation performed by a user on an object displayed on the touch panel;
- a copy processing section that when the pinch-in operation is detected by the pinch-in detection section, copies the object or a character string included in the object;
- a pinch-out detection section that detects a pinch-out operation performed by the user on the touch panel;
- and
- a paste processing section that when the pinch-out operation is detected by the pinch-out detection section, pastes the object or the character string, copied by the copy processing section, at a position at which the pinch-out operation is detected.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch panel;
- a pinch-in detection section that detects a pinch-in operation performed by a user on an object displayed on the touch panel;
- a cut processing section that when the pinch-in operation is detected by the pinch-in detection section, cuts the object or a character string included in the object;
- a pinch-out detection section that detects a pinch-out operation performed by a user on the touch panel;
- and
- a paste processing section that when the pinch-out operation is detected by the pinch-out detection section, pastes the object or the character string, cut by the cut processing section, at a position at which the pinch-out operation is detected.
An operation method for a touch panel comprising:
- detecting a pinch-in operation performed by a user on an object displayed on the touch panel;
- copying the object or a character string included in the object when the pinch-in operation is detected;
- detecting a pinch-out operation performed by the user on the touch panel;
- and
- pasting the copied object or the copied character string when the pinch-out operation is detected at a position at which the pinch-out operation is detected.
