Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, in this technique, the detection action of the background vibration is indispensable when generating the response vibration
Therefore, it is unavoidable to generate a delay between the detection of the contact by the touch panel and the output of the response vibration corresponding thereto, and it is difficult to suppress the deviation of the delay.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0042] [Appearance of image forming apparatus]

[0043] figure 1 (a) is a perspective view showing the appearance of the image forming apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. The image forming apparatus 100 is a multi-function peripheral (MFP) of a paper-ejecting type in the main body, and functions as a scanner, a color copier, and a color laser printer. refer to figure 1 In (a), an automatic document feeder (auto document feeder: ADF) 110 is mounted on the upper surface of the housing of the MFP 100 so as to be openable and closable. A scanner 120 is built in the upper part of the casing located directly below the ADF 110 , a printer 130 is built in the lower part, and a multi-layer paper feed cassette 140 is detachably attached to the bottom thereof. A gap GAP is opened between the scanner 120 and the printer 130 , and a paper discharge tr...

Abstract

The present invention provides an operation panel capable of reliably sensing a response vibration for a detected contact regardless of the background vibration of the operation of the apparatus accompanying the carrying destination. The touch panel includes a display area of the operation screen for detecting the contact of the external object with respect to the display area. A vibration generating portion applies vibration to the display area. A vibration storage unit stores a spectrum of background vibration accompanying the operation of the MFP. A response control unit confirms whether the MFP is in a standby mode or action mode according to detection of the contact of hte touch pannel; when the device is in a standby mode, the vibration generating portion is made to apply response vibration with a first spectrum on the display area; when the MFP is in actoin mode, the vibration generating portion is made to apply response vibration with a second spectrum on the display area. The difference in amplitude between the two spectra is based on the spectrum of the background vibration and is set according to the natural frequency of the display area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, and more particularly, to a technique for causing a touch panel mounted on an operation panel of the apparatus to vibrate in response to detected contact. Background technique [0002] Touch panels are now firmly established as an indispensable input device in the operation of electrical equipment. In fact, an automatic teller machine (ATM) at any bank and an automatic ticket vending machine at any station are equipped with touch panels as standard. A touch panel is a standard input device in any of the explosively popular smartphones and tablet terminals. In recent years, among home appliances, there have been many models in which a touch panel is mounted on an operation panel. [0003] The popularization of touch panels is due to the good sense of operation it brings to users. Using a touch panel allows the user to directly touch and operate graphical user interface (GUI) components (her...
