Abstract

An image processing device includes a touch sensor and a controller. When an operation in which two icons including a function selection icon and a detailed setting selection icon are simultaneously pressed is received in a reception screen, the controller sequentially switches a setting value of a detailed setting corresponding to the pressed detailed setting selection icon at regular predetermined intervals and changes an image displayed in a preview area to a processed image on which the function has been executed at the switched-to setting value, while the simultaneous pressing operation is continued on the two icons.

Claims (24)

1. An image processing device, comprising:

a touch panel including a display and a touch sensor; and

a controller configured to control display operation by the display and receive operations on the touch sensor, wherein

the controller controls operations for executing a plurality of functions according to the operations on the touch sensor,

the functions are functions related to image processing, and include at least an image forming function to form an image on recording paper and an image reading function to read an image from an original document,

the controller displays a reception screen which includes a plurality of function selection icons, a plurality of detailed setting selection icons, and a preview area on the display,

the function selection icons respectively correspond to the functions,

the detailed setting selection icons respectively correspond to a plurality of detailed settings which are configurable with respect to each of the functions,

the preview area shows a processed image on which one function from among the functions has been executed,

when a first operation, from among the operations, in which at least two icons including one function selection icon from among the function selection icons and at least one detailed setting selection icon from among the detailed setting selection icons are simultaneously pressed is received in the reception screen, the controller sequentially switches a setting value of a detailed setting corresponding to the pressed detailed setting selection icon at regular predetermined intervals and changes an image displayed in the preview area to a processed image on which the function has been executed at the switched-to setting value, while the first operation is continued,

when the first operation is ceased, the controller stops switching the setting value and changing the image displayed in the preview area, and

after the first operation has been ceased, when an execution instruction operation of the function is received, the controller controls an operation for executing the function at the setting value specified when the first operation was ceased.

2. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first operation is a second operation in which two icons including one function selection icon from among the function selection icons and one detailed setting selection icon from among the detailed setting selection icons are simultaneously pressed.

3. The image processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

when the second operation is ceased by ceasing to press on the detailed setting selection icon and continuing to press on the function selection icon from among the two pressed icons, and a detailed setting selection icon is pressed other than the detailed setting icon on which the pressing has been ceased while pressing is continued on the function selection icon, the controller sequentially switches a setting value of a detailed setting corresponding to the other detailed setting selection icon at regular predetermined intervals, and changes an image displayed in the preview area to a processed image on which the function has been executed at a setting value of the detailed setting specified when the second operation was ceased and the switched-to setting value of a detailed setting corresponding to the other detailed setting selection icon.

4. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first operation is a third operation in which at least three icons including one function selection icon from among the function selection icons and at least two detailed setting selection icons from among the detailed setting selection icons are simultaneously pressed, and

when the third operation is received, the controller sequentially switches respective setting values of at least two detailed settings corresponding to the at least two pressed detailed setting selection icons at regular predetermined intervals, and changes an image displayed in the preview area to a processed image on which the function has been executed at the switched-to setting values while the third operation is continued.

5. The image processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

when a fourth operation in which one function selection icon among the function selection icons is pressed in the reception screen is received, the controller displays on the reception screen a plurality of detailed setting selection icons respectively corresponding to a plurality of configurable detailed settings of a function corresponding to the pressed function selection icon from among the detailed setting selection icons.

6. The image processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a storage device configured to store execution counts in association with each of setting values of detailed settings, each of the execution counts being the number of times the controller has controlled an operation for executing the corresponding function at one of the setting values, wherein

the controller sequentially switches a setting value of a detailed setting corresponding to the pressed detailed setting selection icon in order of largest execution count stored in the storage device, while the first operation is continued.
