  • Publication number: 20240028195
    Abstract: A display device, method, computer-readable storage medium and user interface, each of which detects contact to or proximity of an object with respect to a generated image, and responsive to detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, disables any operational functions associated with a first portion of the generated image. Additionally, operation associated with a second portion of the generated image is allowed responsive to the detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, where the second portion of the generated image is different from the first portion of the generated image. An indication corresponding to the second portion of the generated image for which operation is enabled may be displayed on the generated image.

  • Publication number: 20230383234
    Abstract: A main object of the present disclosure is to provide a biological particle sorting device that is easy to use or operate for both of two different types of users. The present disclosure provides a biological particle sorting device that operates in a first display mode or a second display mode on the basis of identification information, the device including a first display mode for receiving an input of operation control data related to biological particle sorting processing and a second display mode in which a processing execution operation screen is displayed. In the first display mode, processing condition setting screen related to the biological particle sorting processing is displayed, and the biological particle sorting device may receive an input of the operation control data via the processing condition setting screen.

  • Patent number: 11816330
    Abstract: A display device, method, computer-readable storage medium and user interface, each of which detects contact to or proximity of an object with respect to a generated image, and responsive to detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, disables any operational functions associated with a first portion of the generated image. Additionally, operation associated with a second portion of the generated image is allowed responsive to the detection of contact to or proximity of the object to the generated image, where the second portion of the generated image is different from the first portion of the generated image. An indication corresponding to the second portion of the generated image for which operation is enabled may be displayed on the generated image.
