In order to provide an operation console having superior operability and visibility, a touch-panel display includes a display panel displaying a copy mode basic screen image with virtual keys, and a touch-panel receiving an input operation to the virtual keys. On the copy mode basic screen image, a group of virtual ten keys for inputting the number of copies are displayed. When image data is input by a document reading unit, the touch-panel display causes a preview image based on the image data to be displayed with higher priority than the group of virtual ten keys, in the copy mode basic screen image.

An image forming apparatus includes a first controller, a display panel, a touch panel, a timer, a first storage unit storing a timeout period, and a first communication unit communicating with an external apparatus. When a user selects a predetermined service provided by the image forming apparatus, the first storage unit changes the timeout period to a value obtained from an external apparatus providing the selected service. The first controller uses the changed timeout period to determine whether or not a timeout process is to be performed.

An embodiment of the invention has been made to solve a problem that it is impossible to store externally transmitted job information if a printer apparatus is in a hard-off state and it is, therefore, necessary to store the job information in an external apparatus on the transmission side. In the embodiment, a wireless communication unit which can transmit/receive data even if no power is supplied receives job information from an external terminal, and stores it in a non-volatile memory. When an information processing apparatus is supplied with power, and enters a normal activation state, it executes the job stored in the non-volatile memory.

An information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log in includes: a display unit configured to display an image; and a display controller configured to display personal region images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display unit, display common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display unit, and display images of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user in the personal display regions to be movable, respectively, wherein when any of the users logs out, the display controller finishes displaying the image arranged in the personal display region among the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out, and continues to display the image arranged in the common display region.

An information processing apparatus that has a display unit and a plurality of graphic controllers, the apparatus comprises: a detection unit that detects an event that is generated by a user operation on the display unit; a determination unit that determines, when the event is detected by the detection unit, which of the plurality of graphic controllers an application displaying a screen on the display unit uses; and a transmission unit that, based on a resolution of the display unit and information of the application for which the determination is made by the determination unit, converts coordinate information of the user operation that the event indicates to a value of a coordinate system corresponding to the graphic controller that the application uses, and transmits a result of the conversion to the application.

An image processing apparatus that is capable of reducing a user's burden about setting of setting information while maintaining a desired security level about the setting information. An operation screen displays information. A holding unit holds setting information about a job when a user logs out from the image processing apparatus during execution of the job. A display control unit displays the setting information held by the holding unit on the operation screen when the user who logged out from the image processing apparatus during execution of the job logs in to the image processing apparatus again, and to restrict the displaying on the operation screen when a user other than the user who logged out from the image processing apparatus logs in to the image processing apparatus.

In response to a start of a pinch-out operation in a first display area displaying a preview image, display is switched from a first display mode to a second display mode, and in a case where a pinch-in operation in the first display area ends and a display size of the preview image reaches a predetermined threshold, the display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode.

An information processing apparatus capable of suppressing an erroneous operation by a user when a mobile terminal is brought close to the information processing apparatus for near field wireless communication. Approach of a mobile terminal is detected. Whether an operation related to performing specific processing has been carried out by a user is determined. A confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether to perform processing corresponding to the operation related to performing the specific processing is displayed when the approach of the mobile terminal is detected and it is determined that the operation related to performing the specific processing has been carried out.

A spring compression assembly is configured to apply a load to a stack of electrochemical cells. The assembly includes a ceramic leaf spring, a tensioner configured to apply pressure to a first side of the spring and a bottom plate located on a second side of the spring opposite the first side of the spring. The bottom plate is configured to transfer a load from the spring to the stack of electrochemical cells.

A setting is made such that an operation screen based on screen information transmitted to an external apparatus is not displayed on a display during a connection with the external apparatus for remote control.
