Abstract: An environmental activity supporting system includes a point giving controller, a point processor, and a notification unit. The point giving controller determines whether a predetermined environmental activity satisfying a condition registered in advance is performed based on determination target information used for determining whether or not the predetermined environmental activity is performed and gives points used for employing new performance of a public benefit environmental activity to a user relating to the determination target information when the predetermined environmental activity is determined to be performed. The point processor assigns points of the user to the public benefit environmental activity desired by the user when a request indicating use of the points is made from the user.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a controller allows selection of one from a first setting mode and a second setting mode at an operating portion. The first setting mode allows operating conditions to be set at the operating portion. The second setting mode allows only some of the operating conditions to be set at the operating portion. If the second setting mode is selected at the operating portion, an operating condition settable in the second setting mode is set, and then the first setting mode is selected at the operating portion, the controller makes a setting of the operating condition having been set while the second setting mode is selected reflect in an operating condition to be set in the first setting mode.

Abstract: In an operation unit, a display panel displays a two-sided copy setting screen image including a still image display area on which a plurality of software keys (two-sided copy setting keys) corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of processes (one-sided/one-sided copy process, one-sided/two-sided copy process, two-sided/two-sided copy process and two-sided/one-sided copy process), for selecting any of the plurality of processes, are displayed. A touch-panel receives an input operation to the plurality of software keys. In response to the touch-panel receiving the input operation, a CPU displays, on a movie display area different from the still image display area of the two-sided copy setting screen image, an image representing contents of the selected process in a prescribed state.

Abstract: An information input device includes a display device that displays an information input screen image and a touch-panel that is arranged on the display device and specifies a designated position on the information input screen image. On a function setting area, a plurality of function setting keys are displayed and, if a flick operation to the right made by the input device on the function setting area is detected, detailed setting items corresponding to each of the function setting keys are displayed on a detailed settings area. Consequently, contents of detailed settings can be displayed at one time in correspondence with each of the function setting keys. Therefore, it becomes possible for the user to easily confirm whether or not function setting is appropriate, and to smoothly select a function.
