Abstract

An image forming apparatus according to the present invention includes an operation panel including a display unit displaying buttons, a touch panel unit, a plurality of piezoelectric elements, and a panel control unit. The image forming apparatus further includes a vibration control unit and a determination unit. The vibration control unit outputs a drive signal to the piezoelectric element, and the drive signal vibrates the touch panel unit. The judging unit judges the inspection object based on the maintenance object to be replaced or replenished and the maintenance time, and the inspection object is an object whose maintenance time is within a preset period among the plurality of maintenance objects. The above-mentioned vibration control unit vibrates the touch panel unit and the piezoelectric element under normal vibration conditions when the button operation is performed in the state where the inspection object does not exist, and the operation of the preset button is controlled in the state where the inspection object exists. When executed, the touch panel portion and the piezoelectric element are vibrated under vibration conditions different from normal vibration conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus including a display unit, a touch panel unit, and a piezoelectric element for vibrating the touch panel unit. Background technique [0002] In recent years, piezoelectric elements have been provided in input devices (for example, portable information terminals) on which a display portion and a touch panel portion are superimposed and which accept operations and inputs. When an input operation of touching the display position of the button is performed, a voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element to displace (deform) the piezoelectric element. Then, based on the displaced vibration, the user's sense of touch is stimulated. By using a piezoelectric element, it is possible to give the user a click feeling like operating a hardware button. [0003] An example of the above technique has been invented. Specifically, an input device having a panel displacement element (piezoelectric actuator...
