Patent number: 8400647Abstract: A determination unit detects a change of a configuration of an image forming apparatus and determines whether an operation screen needs to be updated based on a content of detected change. When it is determined that an update of the operation screen is needed, a screen-configuration-data acquisition unit acquires screen configuration data corresponding to an operation screen after the update from a storage unit. A generation unit generates operation screen data that is screen configuration data for an updated operation screen based on received screen configuration data and configuration information related to the display unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: March 19, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Company, LimitedInventors: Eiji Enami, Junji Matsuzawa, Masayuki Yabuuchi, Kazuya Iwasaki
