IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING TOUCH PANEL
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel;
a display device; and
a processing unit for performing processing based on a contact on said touch panel, whereinsaid processing unit includesa first identifying unit for detecting a first gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying a file to be processed based on a contact in said first gesture,a second identifying unit for detecting a second gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying an operation to be executed based on a contact in said second gesture,a determination unit for determining whether or not the combination of said file to be processed and said identified operation is appropriate,a display unit for displaying a determination result in said determination unit, on said display device, andan execution unit for executing said identified operation on said file to be processed, andin the case where one of said first identifying unit and said second identifying unit previously detects one of said first gesture and said second gesture to identify one of said file and said operation, and when the other gesture is detected next, then said determination result is displayed on said display device before identification of one of said file and said operation is completed by detection of said other gesture.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an operation panel as an example of a touch panel and a display device, as well as CPU as an example of a processing unit for performing processing based on a contact. CPU includes a first identifying unit for identifying a file to be processed, a second identifying unit for identifying an operation to be executed, a determination unit for determining whether or not the combination of the file and operation as identified is appropriate, and a display unit for displaying a determination result. In the case where one of the identifying units previously detects a corresponding gesture to identify the file or the operation, and when a gesture corresponding to the other identifying unit is detected next, then the determination result is displayed on the display device before identification of the file or the operation is completed by the gesture.

8. A method of controlling an image processing apparatus for causing said image processing apparatus having a touch panel to execute an operation on a file, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a first gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying a file to be processed based on a contact in said first gesture; detecting a second gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying an operation to be executed based on a contact in said second gesture; determining whether or not the combination of said file to be processed and said identified operation is appropriate; displaying a determination result of said determining step on a display device; and executing said identified operation on said file to be processed when it is determined that the combination of said file to be processed and said identified operation is appropriate, wherein in the case where one of said step of identifying a file and said step of identifying an operation previously detects one of said first gesture and said second gesture to identify one of said file and said operation, and when the other gesture is detected next, then said determination result is displayed on said display device before identification of one of said file and said operation is completed by detection of said other gesture. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing an image processing apparatus having a touch panel and a controller connected to said touch panel to execute an operation on a file, wherein
said program instructs said controller to perform the steps of: -
detecting a first gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying a file to be processed based on a contact in said first gesture; detecting a second gesture using said touch panel, thereby identifying an operation to be executed based on a contact in said second gesture; determining whether or not the combination of said file to be processed and said identified operation is appropriate; displaying a determination result of said determining step on a display device; and executing said identified operation on said file to be processed when it is determined that the combination of said file to be processed and said identified operation is appropriate, and in the case where one of said step of identifying a file and said step of identifying an operation previously detects one of said first gesture and said second gesture to identify one of said file and said operation, and when the other gesture is detected next, then said program causes said determination result to be displayed on said display device before identification of one of said file and said operation is completed by detection of said other gesture. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
