  • Publication number: 20060005159
    Abstract: This invention prevents ballooning of comment information while being applied to an operation environment of the user, and provides comment information associated with an intuitively plain operation. To this end, upon launching of an application, a window including processing buttons and a message area is displayed. Immediately after display, bitmap data of that window is acquired (self-captured), and the acquired bitmap data is displayed in a reference image display area of the window after it is scaled down. Arrow lines which specify correspondence between comments in a message area and the buttons in the reference image display area are displayed.

  • Publication number: 20050262274
    Abstract: To enable simple and detailed confirmation of an operation instruction from an operation panel provided to a printer, each time an instruction is given using a preview button in the operation panel of the printer, an interruption event transferred from the printer to a host computer is detected, and in accordance with the detected interruption event, image data read out from a memory card attached to the printer, and a print setting to be set, are obtained. A preview display unit controls a print preview display reflecting the print setting in real time to a display device of the host computer, and also controls an update display of the print preview display.
