Abstract

A method of providing a screen image for manipulating an application execution of an image forming apparatus includes a plurality of user interfaces (UIs) through which independent screen image processing is performed according to a user manipulation, and an image forming apparatus performing the method.

Claims (26)

1. A method of providing a screen image to manipulate an execution of an application of an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying the screen image, including a first user interface (UI) to set a first option that is applied to the execution of the application and a second UI to set a second option that is applied to the execution of the application;

receiving, from a user, a user manipulation of the screen image; and

processing the screen image according to the user manipulation,

wherein the processing of the screen image comprises scrolling the second UI according to a first scroll manipulation of the user of the second UI,

wherein types of menus of the first option are not changed by the user, and at least one of types of menus of the second option, a sequence of the menus of the second option, and a number of menus of the second option is changed by the user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a direction in which the second UI is scrolled according to the first scroll manipulation varies according to at least one of a type of the application and a location of the first UI within the screen image.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing of the screen image comprises scrolling a partial area of the second UI according to a second scroll manipulation of the user of the partial area of the second UI.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing of the screen image comprises scrolling a partial area of the first UI according to a third scroll manipulation of the user of the partial area of the first UI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UI further comprises an application execution button to execute the application.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing of the screen image comprises processing the screen image so that a preview of a result of the execution of the application to which the first and second options set by the user manipulation have been applied is displayed on the first UI of the screen image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein locations of the first UI and the second UI on the screen image vary according to country settings stored in the image forming apparatus.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scrolling the second UI includes scrolling the second UI in a horizontal direction.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program, which, when executed by a computer, performs the method of claim 1 .

10. An image forming apparatus to provide a screen image to manipulate an execution of an application, the image forming apparatus comprising:

a display to display the screen image, including a first user interface (UI) to set a first option that is applied to the execution of the application and a second UI to set a second option that is applied to the execution of the application;

a user input to receive, from a user, a user manipulation of the screen image; and

a screen image processor to process the screen image according to the user manipulation,

wherein the screen image processor is configured to scroll the second UI according to a first scroll manipulation of the user of the second UI,

wherein types of menus of the first option are not changed by the user, and at least one selected from types of menus of the second option, a sequence of the menus of the second option, and a number of menus of the second option is changed by the user.

11. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a direction in which the second UI is scrolled according to the first scroll manipulation varies according to at least one of a type of the application and a location of the first UI within the screen image.

12. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the screen image processor scrolls a partial area of the second UI according to a second scroll manipulation of the user of the partial area of the second UI.

13. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the screen image processor scrolls a partial area of the first UI according to a third scroll manipulation of the user of the partial area of the first UI.

14. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first UI further comprises an application execution button to execute the application.

15. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the screen image processor processes the screen image so that a preview of a result of the execution of the application to which the first and second options set by the user manipulation have been applied is displayed on the first UI of the screen image.

16. The image forming apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the screen image processor is configured to scroll the second UI in a horizontal direction.
