Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the drag-and-drop operation, it is necessary to display an area indicating the moving destination in advance, and there is a problem that it is troublesome for users who are not used to this operation.
In addition, in the display unit with a narrow display area included in the image forming apparatus, since the area indicating the destination is displayed, the display screen is complicated and the operation is complicated.
Then, as a result, there is a problem that data transfer cannot be performed by continuous and intuitive operation

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0060] (Outline of action)

[0061] Figure 4 It is a diagram showing an overview of operations in the image forming system according to the first embodiment. In the image forming system according to the first embodiment, an operation for moving data (for example, a document) to be moved from the mobile terminal 300A to the mobile terminal 300B is performed.

[0062] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , if the operation panel 34 of the mobile terminal 300A is in the state where icons representing stored documents are displayed, and it is detected that the “grab” operation is performed on more than one icon, then the document represented by the icon is determined to be moved. The document of the object is sent to MFP100.

[0063] When MFP 100 is requested to move the document from mobile terminal 300B, the document is output from MFP 100 to mobile terminal 300B.

[0064] Thereby, the document stored in mobile terminal 300A is moved to mobile terminal 300B via MFP 100 .

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0103] (Outline of action)

[0104] Figure 12 It is a diagram for explaining an outline of operations in the image forming system according to the second embodiment. In the image forming system according to the second embodiment, when sending mail using MFP 100 , address information stored in mobile terminal 300 is transmitted from mobile terminal 300 to MFP 100 to perform operations for sending mail in MFP 100 .

[0105] Specifically, refer to Figure 12 , when a grab operation in the address input field is detected on the mail sending screen of MFP 100 and then a release operation in mobile terminal 300 is detected, the address book application is automatically launched in mobile terminal 300 . Then, when a capture operation is detected for one or more pieces of address information displayed on the address list screen, the address information is identified as address information to be sent and sent to MFP 100 .

[0106] Then, when a release operation is detected on the m...

Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a touch panel, a controller connected to the touch panel, and a memory. When a pinch-in gesture on the touch panel is detected during execution of an application, the controller stores, in the memory, information showing a state of processing of the application when the pinch-in gesture is detected, and when a pinch-out gesture on the touch panel is detected, the controller reads the stored information showing the state of processing of the application from the memory, and resumes processing of the application from the state shown by the information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming device and a terminal device, and more particularly, to an image forming device and a terminal device that perform processing by a user's "grab" operation and "release" operation on a touch panel. Background technique [0002] When an image forming device such as a copier, a printer, or an MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) serving as a multifunctional machine thereof, and other devices such as a mobile information terminal are connected to a network, it is conceivable to connect these devices via How to use the network to send and receive data. [0003] Conventionally, when sending and receiving data between such an image forming apparatus and another apparatus via a network, it was necessary to select a file to be transmitted on the sending apparatus, and then refer to the network to select a destination. the recipient's device. Therefore, there are troublesome problems for the user, such as complica...
