Displaying device and image forming apparatus
View Patent ↗Such a displaying device that can be easily operated by aged persons and handicapped persons, and an image forming apparatus using the same will be provided. Upon continuously operating an upper button for the predetermined period of time, a set value of a magnification is changed at intervals of numeric change that are different from each other between a voice guide mode activated by a voice guide button and a normal mode. At this time, it is configured in such a manner that the interval of numeric change for the normal mode is smaller than the interval of numeric change for the voice guide mode, i.e., the changing rate of the set value of the magnification for the normal mode is larger than that for the voice guide mode.
1. A displaying device comprising:
an increasing and decreasing unit that instructs increment or decrement of a numeric value representing a prescribed configured value;
a changing unit that changes all intervals of the increment or decrement of the numeric value instructed by the increasing and decreasing unit;
a numeric value displaying unit that displays the numeric value thus increased or decreased by the instruction made by the increasing and decreasing unit at the intervals changed by the changing unit; and
a numeric value display changing unit that continuously changes the numeric value displayed on the numeric value displaying unit during a period where the instruction is continuously made by the increasing and decreasing unit.
2. The displaying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the displaying device further comprises a display unit for displaying information relating to the rate thus changed by the changing unit.
3. The displaying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the changing unit comprises an inputting unit for inputting the value and a prohibiting unit for prohibiting the increment or decrement of the numeric value by the increasing and decreasing unit.
4. The displaying device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the changing unit comprises a selecting unit for selecting from two or more modes with the rates different from each other, an inputting unit for inputting the value, and a prohibiting unit for prohibiting the increment or decrement of the numeric value with the increasing and decreasing unit upon selecting a prescribed mode from the two or more modes by the selecting unit.
5. The displaying device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the increasing and decreasing unit comprises an operation part displaying unit for displaying an operation part for instructing increment or decrement of the numeric value, and the prohibiting unit prohibits increment and decrement of the numeric value with the increasing and decreasing unit by non-displaying the operation part.
6. A displaying method comprising:
instructing increment or decrement of a numeric value representing a prescribed configured value;
changing all intervals of the increment or decrement of the numeral value instructed by the instructing step;
displaying the numeric value increased or decreased by the instruction made by the instructing step at the intervals changed by the changing step; and
continuously changing the numeric value displayed on the displaying step during a period where the instruction is continuously made.
7. The displaying method as claimed in claim 6 comprising:
the changing step further comprising selecting from two or more modes with the rates different from each other, inputting the value, and prohibiting the increment or decrement of the numeric value upon selecting a prescribed mode from the two or more mode.
8. A displaying device comprising:
an increasing and decreasing unit that instructs increment or decrement of a numeric value from the first numeric value to a second numeric value;
a numeric value displaying unit that displays the numeric value thus increased or decreased by the instruction made by the increasing and decreasing unit;
a numeric value display changing unit that continuously changes the numeric value displayed on the numeric value displaying unit during a period where the instruction is continuously made by the increasing and decreasing unit; and
a change unit that changes a period of time between when the increment or decrement of the numeric value is instructed by the increasing and decreasing unit and when the increment or decrement of the numeric value is started.
