  • Publication number: 20200272297
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a display device, an input device, a vibration device, and a controller. The input device accepts a touch operation made with respect to the display device. The vibration device vibrates the display device. The controller controls the display device, the input device, and the vibration device. The controller includes a display controller and a vibration controller. The display controller displays a predetermined keyboard image on the display device. When the most recent touch operation is a home position search operation, the vibration controller selects, based on a relative positional relationship between the touch position of this touch operation and a first home position set on the keyboard image, a vibration pattern from among a plurality of vibration patterns that di tier according to the relative positional relationship as a first vibration pattern, and vibrates the display device via the vibration device according to the first vibration pattern.

  • Patent number: 9064208
    Abstract: When data for printing and an authentication code are inputted, a CPU of printer calculates a number of sheets to be used based on the data for printing. The CPU adds the calculated number of sheets to be used to the management table, based on the inputted authentication code, and rearranges the management table so that a use with a smaller number of used sheets is in a higher place. The CPU executes print processing using the inputted data for printing. The CPU acquires a display name, ranking, and the number of used sheets corresponding to inputted authentication code from the management table in an RAM to transmit to information technology equipment.
