  • Patent number: 7986430
    Abstract: Such a displaying device that can be easily operated by aged persons and handicapped persons, and an image forming apparatus using the same will be provided. Upon continuously operating an upper button for the predetermined period of time, a set value of a magnification is changed at intervals of numeric change that are different from each other between a voice guide mode activated by a voice guide button and a normal mode. At this time, it is configured in such a manner that the interval of numeric change for the normal mode is smaller than the interval of numeric change for the voice guide mode, i.e., the changing rate of the set value of the magnification for the normal mode is larger than that for the voice guide mode.

  • Publication number: 20090207460
    Abstract: A plurality of equipment connected to a network are linked with each other to perform plural processing operations to document data. When, for example, a user defines a desired service linkage job flow by using, for example, a GUI screen displayed on a client terminal, job flow information is transmitted to a script creation server, and a script is created in which processing contents and a storage location of a document as a processing object are defined. The created script can be stored in a storage unit such as, for example, a script management server. When the user selects a desired script among plural scripts stored in the script management server, the selected script is transmitted to a linkage processing server.

  • Patent number: 7522296
    Abstract: The present invention provides a display screen depending on a display pattern of an image processing apparatus. On the basis of UI information described in an instruction data, screen information, which can be operationally input and displayed, on a screen for the user is generated, and the display screen is displayed. Parameters and pieces of attribute information held by the parameters are described in the UI information, screen information depending on the attribute information is generated and displayed on a display component. The attribute information includes information representing changeable or unchangeable and an input limit value. For this reason, a display pattern and an operation input pattern of the item information displayed on the display component can be changed.

  • Patent number: 7496233
    Abstract: A user defines a job flow of desired service cooperation according to a GUI screen displayed on a client terminal where parallel processing of plural parallel-executable jobs can be set. According to the thus-defined job flow, an instruction data generation server generates instruction data defining the content of processes, a storage location of a document as a subject, and other items. When the user selects desired one of the instruction data, the selected instruction data is sent to a cooperative processing server.
