  • Publication number: 20170323091
    Abstract: When a user's finger is pressed on a fingerprint reading region in which fingerprint information of the user's finger is read, a user authentication unit (201) reads the fingerprint information of the user's finger and determines whether or not the read fingerprint information matches registered fingerprint information that is registered in advance. If the read fingerprint information matches the registered fingerprint information, an icon acquisition unit (202) acquires icons indicating functions that can be used by the user of the read fingerprint information. If the press by the user's finger is continued, an icon switching unit (203) switches, every predetermined switching time, the acquired icons for display in the vicinity of the user's finger in the order in which the icons are acquired.

  • Publication number: 20160156793
    Abstract: Provided is an image-forming apparatus and an input method capable of inputting numerical values quickly and easily without providing a hardware ten-key or causing an operation display part to display a software ten-key. The image-forming apparatus includes a display part (IP), a touch panel (TP), and a control part (CP). The IP indicates various information pieces (VIP) including an indicated numerical value (INV) to be inputted on a plane. The TP provided on a surface of the IP detects a position to which an operation, say, a depression is made for operating each of different operation points. The CP receives detection information from the TP and outputs the VIP to the IP. The CP counts the number of tapping actions as the INV, each the tapping action being an operation on a first operation point within a first detection region on the TP.
