OPERATION RECEPTION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING OPERATION ON PAGE IMAGE, STORAGE MEDIUM, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR USE WITH OPERATION RECEPTION DEVICE

摘要

An operation reception device capable of detecting and receiving an intuitive operation that resembles an operation of pinching a sheet or sheets between fingers. If it is determined that coordinate positions where operations on the operation reception device that are respectively detected by touch sensors of first and second touch panels provided on the front and back faces of the device are the same as each other, the operation reception device receives designation of at least one selected page on the first touch panel, receives an editing operation on the selected page, and performs, on the selected page, predetermined editing such as deletion and extraction corresponding to the editing operation.

主权项

1. An operation reception device including a display panel having a display screen, a first touch panel having a first touch sensor for detecting an operation on the display screen, and a display control unit for controlling display on the display screen, comprising:
a second touch panel provided on a face of the operation reception device opposite from a face on which the display panel and the first touch panel are provided, said second touch panel having a second touch sensor for detecting an operation on an outer face of said second touch panel; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a coordinate position where the operation on the display screen is detected by the first touch sensor and a coordinate position where the operation on the outer face of said second touch panel is detected by said second touch sensor are same as each other; a designation unit configured, in a case where it is determined by said determination unit that the coordinate positions respectively detected by the first and second touch sensors are the same as each other, to receive designation of at least one page image; an operation reception unit configured to receive an editing operation on the at least one page image whose designation has been received by said designation unit; and an edition unit configured to perform predetermined editing corresponding to the editing operation received by said operation reception unit on the at least one page image whose designation has been received by said designation unit.
