Display input apparatus and computer-readable non-transitory recording medium with display input control program recorded thereon

摘要

A display input apparatus includes a display section, a touch panel, a gesture acceptance section, a display control section, a job generating section, a communication section, and a communication control section. The job generating section is configured to, when a slide gesture in a predetermined first direction is made on a candidate image, generate an image formation job based on a piece of data represented by the candidate image. The display control section is configured to, when the slide gesture in the first direction is made on the candidate image, allow the display section to display a pending image indicating a piece of data pending on an image forming apparatus and thereafter, when the communication section receives a report indicating a completion of the image formation job, allow the display section to eliminate the display of the pending image.

1. A display input apparatus comprising:
a display section configured to display a plurality of candidate images representing candidate pieces of data for image formation on an image forming apparatus; a touch panel disposed in front of the display section; a gesture acceptance section configured to accept a user's gesture on the touch panel; a display control section configured to control a display operation of the display section according to the user's gesture accepted by the gesture acceptance section; a job generating section configured to generate an image formation job for the image forming apparatus according to the user's gesture accepted by the gesture acceptance section; a communication section capable of data transfer to and from the image forming apparatus; and a communication control section configured to control a communication operation of the communication section, wherein the job generating section is further configured to, when the gesture acceptance section accepts a slide gesture in a predetermined first direction on one of the plurality of candidate images, generate the image formation job to allow the image forming apparatus to perform image formation based on the candidate piece of data for image formation represented by the one candidate image, the communication control section is further configured to allow the communication section to send the image formation job generated by the job generating section to the image forming apparatus, and the display control section is further configured to, when the gesture acceptance section accepts the slide gesture in the first direction on the one candidate image, allow the display section; to display, at an end of the display area of the display section in the first direction, the one candidate image as a pending image indicating a piece of data pending on the image forming apparatus; and to continue the state of displaying the one candidate image at an end of a display area in the first direction until the communication section receives from the image forming apparatus a report indicating a completion of the image formation job, and when the communication section receives a report indicating a completion of the image formation job from the image forming apparatus, allow the display section to release the state of displaying and to eliminate the display of the pending image.
