  • Publication number: 20200174632
    Abstract: A thumbnail display apparatus includes a display that displays, one by one, thumbnail images corresponding to plural pages included in a document, the thumbnail images being generated by reducing images of the corresponding pages included in the document to a predetermined size, a detecting unit that detects a sliding operation of an object, the sliding operation being performed when the thumbnail image displayed by the display being touched by the object, and a controller that performs, in response to detection of the sliding operation by the detecting unit, page switching so as to sequentially switch the page of the document whose thumbnail image is being displayed by the display to other pages.

  • Publication number: 20200076966
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display that displays an operation screen for designating a destination to use a certain function; and a display controller that, in a case where a hardware operation button that has been additionally attached is operated, performs control so that the operation screen displayed on the display shifts to an operation screen for setting a destination based on entry using the hardware operation button and so that a software operation button including an operation button corresponding to the hardware operation button and an operation button for realizing a function other than a function realized by the hardware operation button is displayed within a display screen of the display.

  • Patent number: 9600148
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a detection unit and a controller. The detection unit detects a specified position on a display screen on which an image is displayed. When the specified position on the display screen is moved, the controller performs a page switching operation or a move operation on the basis of a movement direction in which the specified position is moved. The page switching operation is an operation of switching an image being displayed on the display screen to another image. The move operation is an operation of moving a display position of the image being displayed on the display screen.

  • Publication number: 20150042577
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a display controller configured to provide display control to allow a display range of a display to be moved relative to image information; a detector configured to detect a track of contact by an operator from an operation on a contact-sensitive operation unit, which is overlaid on the display; a determiner configured to determine whether or not the track detected by the detector meets or is similar to a predetermined pattern; and a movement processor configured to move the display range to a range of the image information, which is previously associated with the pattern, if the determiner determines that the track meets or is similar to the pattern.
