According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a printer, a memory, a processor, and a display. The printer forms an image according to the operation of a person. The memory stores contact history information indicating the history of contact of a person. The processor acquires information on contact infection of a virus at a site contacted by a specific person from the contact history information stored in the memory. The display shows information on the contact infection of the virus.

The present invention relates to a document processing system using augmented reality and virtual reality, and a processing method therefor. The document processing system of the present invention shares contents of an object so that one user can write the contents of the object at the location of the object displayed in an augmented reality or virtual reality image to write and store various types of virtual documents and allow other users to view the virtual documents in the augmented reality or virtual image. The document processing system writes and shares the virtual documents by using a mobile terminal capable of expressing augmented reality or virtual reality. The document processing system shares the virtual documents between mobile terminals in a P2P method or a method of using a server. According to the present invention, a new document sharing platform can be implemented to provide a differentiated service to a user by displaying a virtual document written by using augmented reality or virtual reality to be shared in real time.

A method of providing information related to an object is provided. The method includes sensing a gesture related to the object located in a certain area via a first device, obtaining content related to the object according to the sensed gesture, and transmitting the obtained content to a second device that is connected with the first device in a network, wherein the content is output via the second device.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium, a display portion that displays information regarding image forming with the image forming portion, a memory storing instructions, and a controller, which executes the instructions, that detects a position of an instruction portion in contact with a surface of the display portion and generate first input information indicating the detected position of the instruction portion, and detects a position of the instruction portion at a location a predetermined distance away from the surface in a direction orthogonal to the surface and generate second input information indicating the detected position, and transitions the image forming apparatus into a first input mode for generating the first input information without generating the second input information and transition the image into a second input mode for generating the second input information without generating the first input information.

An image forming apparatus includes a printing section, an electrostatic touch panel, a power source circuit section, and a contact member. The printing section performs printing. The electrostatic touch panel receives a touch operation by a user. The power source circuit section receives supply of power from a commercial power source and supplies power to the printing section and the electrostatic touch panel. The contact member is connected to a ground of an image forming apparatus and is touched by a user operating the electrostatic touch panel.

An electronic device includes an operation unit and a controller. In a case of detecting a long-press at an icon arranged on a home screen, the controller allows a display unit to display, at a predetermined position near a display region of the icon, a submenu image for selecting detailed settings for a function associated with the icon. When detecting that a touch operation performed by a user is moved from the icon to the submenu image and then ended at the submenu image, the controller allows the display unit to display a detailed setting screen for setting detailed setting items indicated by the submenu image.

A display apparatus includes an operation panel and a controller configured to control display of the operation panel. The controller is configured to cause a first button, a second button, and a display area for displaying a numerical value received by a first operation on one or both of the first button and the second button to be displayed on the operation panel. In response to receiving a second operation on the first button or the second button, the controller is configured to change the amount of change in the numerical value to be received by the first operation.

To maintain confidentiality by a simile authentication procedure. An image processing device includes an input receiver configured to receive an input of an authentication pattern that is a trajectory of contact coordinates indicating a contact position on an operation unit; and a concatenation image display unit configured to display an image connecting, out of a plurality of predetermined images that are displayed on the operation unit, a part of the predetermined images that includes a first predetermined image and a second predetermined image of the predetermined images that are connected by the trajectory, wherein, prior to a display area of the first predetermined image overlapping the contact coordinates, a display area of the second predetermined image overlaps the contact coordinates.

An image forming apparatus includes a capacitive human body sensor that detects an operation to return to a normal mode from a power saving mode consuming less power than the normal mode, wherein an antenna of the human body sensor is wired along a periphery of a predetermined detection target area which can receive the operation to return from a user, and a difference in sensitivity between a corner portion and a part other than the corner portion of the antenna is reduced by shaping the antenna at least to be wired in a curve without forming a corner in the corner portion, to be thinner in the corner portion than in the part other than the corner portion, or to be wired without meandering in the corner portion and wired while meandering in the part other than the corner portion.
