DISPLAY DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

A control section includes a track detecting section, a pattern determining section, and a character string display section. The track detecting section detects a track of a touch point on a touch panel by a user. The pattern determining section determines whether or not there is a match between the track of the touch point detected by the track detecting section and any of a plurality of patterns stored by a storage section. Upon the pattern determining section determining that there is a match, the character string display section reads a character string from the storage section that is associated with a pattern determined to match the track of the touch point from among the plurality of patterns. The character string display section causes pasting and display of the character string in an input region displayed by a display section.
