1. A display input device comprising:
- a display portion that displays a screen and an image and displays an object which is an image to be cut or copied; and
a touch panel portion that is provided for the display portion and that accepts an input from a user, detects a plurality of positions that are touched, and accepts a first operation of narrowing the interval between two points touched at the same time by two fingers of the user,wherein the touch panel portion accepts an input of designating, as a designated object, the object displayed at one or both of the positions of the two touched points;
wherein the touch panel portion, if the interval between the two points narrowed by the first operation is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, accepts the first operation as an input of giving an instruction to cut the designated object, and the touch panel portion, if the interval between the two points narrowed by the first operation exceeds the predetermined threshold value, accepts the first operation as an input of giving an instruction to copy the designated object;
wherein the touch panel portion accepts, as an input of determining cutting of the designated object, that the two fingers of the user have been taken off from the touch panel portion and the touched points have disappeared, and the interval between the two points immediately before the fingers were taken off is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value, and the touch panel portion accepts, as an input of determining copying of the designated object, that the two fingers of the user have been taken off from the touch panel portion and the touched points have disappeared, and the interval between the two points immediately before the two fingers were taken off exceeds the predetermined threshold value; and
wherein after the input of determining cutting of the designated object is accepted, display of the designated object is deleted, and after the input of determining copying of the designated object is accepted, the display of the designated object is maintained.

11. An image forming apparatus comprising:
-
a display portion that displays a screen and an image and displays an object which is an image to be cut, copied, or pasted; and a touch panel portion that is provided for the display portion and that accepts an input from a user, detects a plurality of positions that are touched, and accepts a first operation of narrowing the interval between two points touched at the same time by two fingers of the user and a second operation of broadening the interval between two points touched at the same time by two fingers of the user, wherein the touch panel portion accepts an input of designating, as a designated object, the object displayed at one or both of the positions of the two touched points, and the touch panel portion, if the interval between the two points narrowed by the first operation is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, accepts the first operation as an input of giving an instruction to cut the designated object, and the touch panel portion, if the interval between the two points narrowed by the first operation exceeds the predetermined threshold value, accepts the first operation as an input of giving an instruction to copy the designated object, wherein the touch panel portion accepts, as an input of determining cutting of the designated object, that the two fingers of the user have been taken off from the touch panel portion and the touched points have disappeared, and the interval between the two points immediately before the fingers were taken off is equal to or smaller than the predetermined threshold value, and the touch panel portion accepts, as an input of determining copying of the designated object, that the two fingers of the user have been taken off from the touch panel portion and the touched points have disappeared, and the interval between the two points immediately before the two fingers were taken off exceeds the predetermined threshold value, wherein after the input of determining cutting of the designated object is accepted, display of the designated object is deleted, and after the input of determining copying of the designated object is accepted, the display of the designated object is maintained, wherein the touch panel portion accepts the second operation as an instruction to paste the designated object, and accepts, as an input of determining pasting of the designated object, that the two fingers of the user have been taken off from the touch panel portion and the touched points have disappeared, and the display portion pastes and displays the designated object on a screen being displayed when the input of determining pasting of the designated object is given.
