  • Patent number: 10419631
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image display that displays an image. In response to determining both that the image display is present in a detected user's gaze direction and that a distance between the user and the image display is shorter than a predetermined distance, the apparatus performs a change process on the image. After performing the change process, the apparatus determines whether or not the distance between the user and the image display is equal to or greater than the predetermined distance, and if so, returns the image back to a state prior to the change process.

  • Patent number: 10038807
    Abstract: An image display apparatus includes an image display, a receiving unit, a detection section, and a change processing section. The image display displays an image. The receiving unit receives an operation performed by a user on information displayed on the image display. The detection section detects a user's finger approaching the receiving unit or an operation performed by the user on the receiving unit. The change processing section performs a change process on the image displayed on the image display, and stops or does not perform the change process when the detection section detects the approaching or the operation.
