Abstract

An image to be printed is displayed in an image display region EA 1 set on a center line L passing through a center of a screen in a width direction. A print button PB for providing an instruction for printing of the image and an image editing menu buttons EB 1 to EB 3 are displayed in a button display region EA 2 side by side along the width direction of the screen. The print button PB is disposed on the center line L and displayed in a larger size than other buttons EB 1 to EB 3 . In a case in which the image editing menu button is touch-operated, a plurality of operation buttons for image editing are expanded and displayed in an operation region EA 3 between the button display region EA 2 and the image display region EA 1 . The operation buttons for image editing are displayed in a radial pattern on the same circumference around a point set on the center line L.

displays a frame that surrounds the image displayed in the image display region and has a same margin as a printed article,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive a printing instruction in response to a swipe operation or a flick operation on the image displayed in the image display region or the frame, and

only the selectable template images, or the slide bar and reset button, are displayed at any one time.

2. The operation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in case in which an instruction for printing of the image displayed in the image display region is provided, the display control unit moves the image displayed in the image display region along a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the screen to disappear from the screen.

3. The operation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display control unit displays a cancel button for providing an instruction for cancellation of printing while moving the image displayed in the image display region on the screen.

4. The operation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the touch panel has a rectangular-shaped screen, and a direction of a short side of the screen is the width direction.

5. The operation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to function as:

a communication unit that communicates with a printer; and

a transmission control unit that transmits, in a case in which an instruction for printing of the image displayed in the image display region is provided, image data to the printer via the communication unit.

6. The operation device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the printer prints the image on an instant film.

7. An operation device comprising:

a touch panel that detects a touch operation on a screen; and

a processor configured to function as a display control unit that controls a display of the touch panel,

wherein the display control unit

displays an image in an image display region set on a center line passing through a center of the screen, the center line extending in a vertical direction,

displays a plurality of buttons including a print button for providing an instruction for printing of the image displayed in the image display region, an image quality correction button, and a template button side by side along a width direction of the screen,

displays the print button positioned on the center line in a larger size than other buttons of the plurality of buttons,

in a case in which the image quality correction button is selected, displays a slide bar for image editing along a circle around a point set on the center line and a reset button in a region between a region in which the plurality of buttons are displayed and the image display region, wherein the slide bar changes a parameter of the image in accordance with an amount of operation thereof and the reset button resets operation of the slide bar to a default position in accordance with selection thereof,

in a case in which the template button is selected, displays a plurality of selectable template images that can be applied to the image in the image display region, between the region in which the plurality of buttons are displayed and the image display region, wherein the selectable template images are displayed by scrolling, and

displays a frame that surrounds the image displayed in the image display region and has a same margin as a printed article,

wherein the processor is further configured to receive a printing instruction in response to a swipe operation or a flick operation on the image displayed in the image display region or the frame, and

only the selectable template images, or the slide bar and reset button, are displayed at any one time.

8. The operation device according to claim 7 ,

wherein in a case in which an instruction for printing of the image displayed in the image display region is provided, the display control unit moves the image displayed in the image display region along a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the screen to disappear from the screen.

9. The operation device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the display control unit displays a cancel button for providing an instruction for cancellation of printing while moving the image displayed in the image display region on the screen.

10. The operation device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the touch panel has a rectangular-shaped screen, and a direction of a short side of the screen is the width direction.

11. The operation device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to function as:

a communication unit that communicates with a printer; and

a transmission control unit that transmits, in a case in which an instruction for printing of the image displayed in the image display region is provided, image data to the printer via the communication unit.

12. The operation device according to claim 11 ,
