Display apparatus, image processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for displaying images to accept and confirm settings

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

generate a first image including: (i) a setting area for receiving a setting of a setting item; and (ii) a command area for receiving a command regarding the setting;

generate a second image representing the command area;

receive an operation on the setting item performed by a user;

display the second image over the first image in a case where the command area is not displayed when the processor receives the operation; and

in a case where the command area is not displayed when the processor receives an operation on any of a plurality of setting items, display the second image after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the operation, the predetermined time period being determined in accordance with the setting item.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the setting of the setting item based on the operation received by the processor contradicts a setting of another setting item, the processor is configured to display the second image after a time period longer than that in a case where there is no contradiction has elapsed.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the setting items have an hierarchical structure, and

in a case where there is another setting item in an upper layer above the setting item to be set by the operation received by the processor, the processor is configured to display the second image after a time period longer than that in a case where there is no other setting item in the upper layer has elapsed.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to display a number of to-be-set items, the to-be-set items being, among the setting items, setting items that require setting by the operation.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items depending on whether the set of to-be-set items is displayed.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to display a number of to-be-set items, the to-be-set items being, among the setting items, setting items that require setting by the operation.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items depending on whether the set of to-be-set items is displayed.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the setting items have an hierarchical structure, and

in a case where there is another setting item in an upper layer above the setting item to be set by the operation received by the processor, the processor is configured to display the second image after a time period longer than that in a case where there is no other setting item in the upper layer has elapsed.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to display a number of to-be-set items, the to-be-set items being, among the setting items, setting items that require setting by the operation.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items depending on whether the set of to-be-set items is displayed.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display a number of to-be-set items, the to-be-set items being, among the setting items, setting items that require setting by the operation.

12. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items depending on whether the set of to-be-set items is displayed.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a line separating a display area, and is configured to distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items according to arrangement with respect to the line.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to distinguishably display a line separating a display area, and distinguishably display a number of each set of to-be-set items according to arrangement with respect to the line.

15. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to display the second image over an area of the first image that does not serve as a target of operation received by the processor.

16. An image processing apparatus comprising:

the display apparatus according to claim 1 ; and

a processor that processes an image using a setting item set by the display apparatus.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer including a display to function as:

a first generating unit that generates a first image including: (i) a setting area for receiving a setting of a setting item; and (ii) a command area for receiving a command regarding the setting;

a second generating unit that generates a second image representing the command area;

a receiving unit that receives an operation performed by a user; and

a display controller that causes the display to display the second image over the first image in a case where the command area is not displayed when the receiving unit receives the operation,

wherein in a case where the command area is not displayed when the receiving unit receives an operation on any of a plurality of setting items, the display controller causes the display to display the second image after a predetermined time period has elapsed since the operation, the predetermined time period being determined in accordance with the setting item.
