Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a controller that performs control so that a specific operation among operations performed on a second operation unit is invalidated in a state where an operation performed on a first operation unit is valid.

Claims (30)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising a controller configured to:

receive an operation signal of an operation from a second operation unit, the second operation unit being a mobile terminal apparatus;

determine whether the operation signal concerns a predetermined specific operation, the predetermined specific operation being an operation that has been performed on a first operation unit and determined to be valid, the first operation unit being an operation display of an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus communicable with the mobile terminal apparatus; and

invalidate the operation of the second operation unit when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an execution unit that performs processes corresponding to the operation performed on the first operation unit and an operation performed on the second operation unit,

wherein in the state where the operation performed on the first operation unit is determined to be valid, the controller controls the execution unit not to perform a process corresponding to an operation performed on the second operation unit in a case where the operation is the predetermined specific operation.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the predetermined specific operation performed on the second operation unit includes the operation performed on the first operation unit.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the second operation unit is connectable to the information processing apparatus; and

the controller performs control so that the operation performed on the second operation unit is invalidated when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation, after the second operation unit is connected to the information processing apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the second operation unit is connectable to the information processing apparatus; and

the controller performs control so that the operation performed on the second operation unit is invalidated when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation, after the second operation unit is connected to the information processing apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined specific operation performed on the second operation unit includes an operation performed on the first operation unit.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the second operation unit is connectable to the information processing apparatus; and

the controller performs control so that the operation performed on the second operation unit is invalidated when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation, after the second operation unit is connected to the information processing apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the second operation unit is connectable to the information processing apparatus; and

the controller performs control so that the operation performed on the second operation unit is invalidated when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation, after the second operation unit is connected to the information processing apparatus.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller performs control so that a next operation performed on the second operation unit is invalidated in a case where the next operation is received by a receiving unit within a predetermined period from a point in time at which the operation is performed on the first operation unit.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller performs control so that a next operation performed on the second operation unit is validated in a case where the next operation is received by a receiving unit after elapse of a predetermined period from a point in time at which the operation is performed on the first operation unit.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to function as a controller configured to:

receive an operation signal of an operation from a second operation unit, the second operation unit being a mobile terminal apparatus;

determine whether the operation signal concerns a predetermined specific operation, the predetermined specific operation being an operation that has been performed on a first operation unit and determined to be valid, the first operation unit being an operation display of an image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus communicable with the mobile terminal apparatus; and

invalidate the operation of the second operation unit when the operation signal is determined to concern the predetermined specific operation.
