Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the practice of displaying function buttons in a multi-level tree structure, users need to scrutinize some screens or scroll back and forth to find the function button of their target function, which is troublesome
[0010] Specifically, users may find it difficult to find function buttons they have used before
In addition, there is the problem that even if the value set for the function has been changed, the user may not realize
[0011] Unfortunately, neither Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. 2006-243952 and No. 2006-323504 cited above provide a perfect technique to solve these inconveniences
