Abstract: An image processing device includes a usage request acquiring part, first and second setting parts, a determining part, and an executing part. The first setting part sets first restriction information that shows whether the prescribed function is executable in response to a usage request that includes the authentication information. The second setting part sets second restriction information that shows whether the prescribed function is executable in response to a usage request that does not include the authentication information.

Abstract: An information input apparatus which displays a plurality of buttons on a display unit, detects an indicated position by a positional coordinate detection unit arranged on the display unit and inputs information corresponding to an indicated button includes: an incorrect input judgment unit for judging whether or not input information which is input when a to-be-selected button selected from the plurality of buttons is indicated is incorrect input; a pattern selection unit which makes a user select one button arrangement pattern from a plurality of button arrangement patterns including the to-be-selected button at a predetermined position when the incorrect input judgment unit judges that the input information is incorrect input.

Abstract: An information input apparatus which displays a plurality of buttons on a display unit, detects an indicated position by a positional coordinate detection unit arranged on the display unit to input information corresponding to the indicated button includes: an incorrect input judgment unit that judges whether information input when a first button among the plurality of buttons is indicated is incorrect input; an incorrect input reason specification unit that specifies a reason of the incorrect input based on an indicated region of the first button with respect to an indicatable region of the first button displayed on the display unit, when the incorrect input judgment unit judges that the input information is the incorrect input.

Abstract: An information input device, which displays button images showing a plurality of buttons on a display unit, detects an indication position by a position coordinate detection unit installed in the display unit, and thereby inputs information corresponding to the button which is indicated, includes, an enlargement display unit configured to generate a first enlargement image, which includes an indicated first button among the plurality of buttons, where the vicinity of the first button is enlarged as a display region, and to display the generated first enlargement image on the display unit; a determination unit configured to determine whether an indication region which is indicated in the first enlargement image is included in a first region which is movable in the first enlargement image, or in a second region which instructs the changing of the display region.

Abstract: An information input apparatus which displays a plurality of buttons on a display unit, detects an indicated position by a positional coordinate detection unit arranged on the display unit and inputs information corresponding to an indicated button includes: an incorrect input judgment unit for judging whether or not input information which is input when a to-be-selected button selected from the plurality of buttons is indicated is incorrect input; a pattern selection unit which makes a user select one button arrangement pattern from a plurality of button arrangement patterns including the to-be-selected button at a predetermined position when the incorrect input judgment unit judges that the input information is incorrect input.

Abstract: The technique of the invention enables the user to readily refer to the details of efficient image processing performed on input image data. On completion of each selected image processing option performed on input image data Dpi, the details of an efficient series of image processing operations sequentially performed for conversion of the input image data Dpi to final retouched image data are updated by taking into account latest settings of relevant parameters of the selected image processing option. The updated details are stored in the form of a work memo file FL2. The work memo file FL2 includes data DT11 ‘execution order’, data DT12 ‘retouching option’, and data DT13 ‘parameters’. The concrete procedure of the invention for ‘efficiency’ updates the parameters of each image processing option to be performed multiple times to the latest settings, while maintaining the user's specified work sequence of the respective image processing options.
