  • Publication number: 20220317845
    Abstract: A touch panel device is provided with a display panel, a touch sensor, a panel driving unit, a division range setting unit, and a correction unit. The division range setting unit divides and sets the detection range of the touch sensor into a plurality of ranges. The correction unit corrects an object detection area for detecting a touch operation to an object in a touch sensor for each of a plurality of ranges based on operation position deviation data indicating an operation position deviation between a position where the object is displayed on the display panel and a touch operation position of the touch sensor for each of the plurality of ranges.

  • Patent number: 10871899
    Abstract: An input accepting device includes operation keys, a character receiving unit, a converting unit, an operation key state detection unit, a timer, and a conversion control unit. The converting unit converts a combination of characters corresponding to the operation keys sequentially operated into another character or word. The operation key state detection unit detects a first timing and a second timing while the user operates the operation key. The first timing is at which a state of the user becomes a state of touching the operation key from a state of not touching the operation key. The second timing is at which a state of the user becomes a state of not touching the operation key after the first timing. The timer detects an elapsed time from the first timing. The conversion control unit causes the conversions with different contents depending on the elapsed time at the second timing.

  • Patent number: 10692392
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display, a display controller, a sensor, and a work identifying unit. The display controller causes the display to continuously display a guidance video. The guidance video indicates a specified work procedure of respective processes. The display controller analyzes a work procedure that has been actually performed by the operator from a time series of the respective works identified by the work identifying unit, compares the analyzed work procedure with the process sequence and the specified work procedure, and returns to the process including an unprocessed work that has not been performed in accordance with the process sequence and the specified work procedure to cause the display to redisplay the guidance video indicating the work procedure of the returned process when having determined that the work performed by the operator is not performed in accordance with the process sequence and the specified work procedure.

  • Patent number: 9924057
    Abstract: In order to promote the use of a display panel as an operation panel part, if a communicable terminal device (9) is detected (S1), a CPU (10) requests the terminal device (9) to transmit panel information (S2), and determines, on the basis of the panel information, whether or not the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of an operation panel part (6) (S3). If the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of the operation panel part (6), the CPU (10) displays a terminal device utilization screen on a display panel (61) (S4). If an operation of an image forming device (1) by the terminal device (9) is selected by a user, the CPU (10) generates data for displaying an image of an operation screen based on the display on the display panel (61) and a setting value set by the operation of the operation panel part (6), and transmits the data to the terminal device (9) (S6).
