Abstract

A display operation device includes an operation input unit, a temporary display unit, and a confirmation display unit. The operation input unit accepts an input in accordance with an input operation via an operation key and subsequent release of the input operation. The temporary display unit temporarily displays, on a screen, an input result corresponding to the input operation during a period in which the input operation via the operation key is held without being released. The confirmation display unit performs a confirmative display by confirming or resetting the display of the input result when a specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

Claims

1. A display operation device comprising:

an operation input unit configured to accept an input in accordance with an input operation via an operation key and subsequent release of the input operation;

a temporary display unit configured to temporarily display, on a screen, an input result corresponding to the input operation during a period in which the input operation via the operation key is held without being released; and

a confirmation display unit configured to perform a confirmative display by confirming or resetting the display of the input result when a specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

2. The display operation device according to claim 1, wherein when the input operation is released before the elapse of the specified time, the confirmation display unit is configured to complete the acceptance of the input received by the operation input unit and confirm the display of the input result, and when the specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held, the confirmation display unit is configured to reset the input result.

3. The display operation device according to claim 2, comprising a display changeover unit configured to gradually change the display of the input result to the display after the reset during a period in which the specified time elapses while the input operation is held.

4. The display operation device according to claim 1, comprising a count display unit configured to display a count of time elapsed while the input operation is held.

5. The display operation device according to claim 2, comprising a count display unit configured to display a count of time elapsed while the input operation is held.

6. The display operation device according to claim 3, comprising a count display unit configured to display a count of time elapsed while the input operation is held.

7. The display operation device according to claim 1, comprising a notification unit configured to notify the elapse of the specified time with sounds or vibration of the operation key.

8. The display operation device according to claim 2, comprising a notification unit configured to notify the elapse of the specified time with sounds or vibration of the operation key.

9. The display operation device according to claim 3, comprising a notification unit configured to notify the elapse of the specified time with sounds or vibration of the operation key.

10. An image forming apparatus comprising a display operation device comprising:

an operation input unit configured to accept an input in accordance with an input operation via an operation key and subsequent release of the input operation;

a temporary display unit configured to temporarily display, on a screen, an input result corresponding to the input operation during a period in which the input operation via the operation key is held without being released; and

a confirmation display unit configured to perform a confirmative display by confirming or resetting the display of the input result when a specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

11. A display operation method comprising:

accepting an input in accordance with an input operation via an operation key and subsequent release of the input operation;

temporarily displaying, on a screen, an input result corresponding to the input operation during a period in which the input operation via the operation key is held without being released; and

performing a confirmative display by confirming or resetting the display of the input result when a specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

12. The display operation method according to claim 11, comprising:

completing the acceptance of the input received by the operation input unit and confirming the display of the input result when the input operation is released before the elapse of the specified time; and

resetting the input result when the specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

13. The display operation method according to claim 12, comprising:

gradually changing the display of the input result to the display after the reset during a period in which the specified time elapses while the input operation is held.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a display operation program, the display operation program causing a computer to function as:

an operation input unit configured to accept an input in accordance with an input operation via an operation key and subsequent release of the input operation;

a temporary display unit configured to temporarily display, on a screen, an input result corresponding to the input operation during a period in which the input operation via the operation key is held without being released; and

a confirmation display unit configured to perform a confirmative display by confirming or resetting the display of the input result when a specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 14, wherein when the input operation is released before the elapse of the specified time, the confirmation display unit is configured to complete the acceptance of the input received by the operation input unit and confirm the display of the input result, and when the specified time has elapsed while the input operation is held, the confirmation display unit is configured to reset the input result.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15, the display operation program causing the computer to further function as:

a display changeover unit configured to gradually change the display of the input result to the display after the reset during a period in which the specified time elapses while the input operation is held.
