An image forming apparatus includes a controller that controls a plurality of different types of image processing, register a plurality of objects to be arranged in a matrix form within a particular area of a screen, and controls a user interface to display the plurality of objects arranged in the matrix form within the particular area. The plurality of objects include a first object for controlling image processing associated with the first object, and a second object that is not for controlling any image processing. The controller controls the user interface to display a third object different from the plurality of objects arranged in the matrix form, outside the particular area, and when a first user is authenticated, control the user interface to display a user-authenticated screen including a shared object and a first user object within the particular area but not including a second user object.

Example embodiments involve a metrics collection system for collecting software usage metrics from one or more client devices at deployments. A computer, such as a server configured to execute the metrics collection system, collects software usage metrics (e.g., as a metrics submission from a client device) of the software product at the deployment, identifies a metrics type of the software usage metrics collected, assigns the software usage metrics to a metrics category, and calculates and updates a metrics score of the metrics category, based on the software usage metrics collected.

A printing method includes a customizing step of receiving a customization instruction of an administrator and customizing a printing screen, a printing step of performing printing in response to reception of a printing start instruction, and a displaying step of displaying the customized printing screen during the printing step, in which in the customizing step, required information is prohibited from being deleted from a display, and optional information is permitted to be deleted from the display.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display, on a display screen of a terminal device used by a user: a shared work region as a common work region that is accessed by plural users and that enables the plural users to execute work in cooperation; and an operation element for the user using the terminal device to input an instruction related to work in the shared work region, in which the processor is configured to display the operation element of a different type according to the user.

An information processing apparatus includes an installer configured to install a second application in addition to a first application; a setter configured to set a first setting item of the first application and a second setting item of the second application, the first setting item and the second setting item respectively belonging to one or more categories; and a displayer configured to display, in an aggregated manner, setting items belonging to a same category, among the first setting item of the first application and the second setting item of the second application.

An image processing apparatus capable of lowering the possibility that app buttons on an app selection screen will be rearranged in a way that is not intended by a user. The image forming apparatus 100 displays a plurality of app buttons for executing respective apps on a plurality of pages of an app selection screen 400 in a dividing manner, and has a structure that switches between the pages of the app selection screen 400 in response to a page switching operation by a user, and changes a display order of the app buttons when a button prioritizing event that is a condition for preferentially displaying at least one of the app buttons is detected. When the button prioritizing event is detected after the page switching operation is performed, the app buttons is not rearranged and the app selection screen is kept unchanged.

An electronic device includes a storage device, a display device, and a control device. The storage device stores a document image sequence in which a plurality of document images of original documents are arranged in chronological order. The control device functions as an editor, a converter, and a display controller. The editor performs edition processing on the document images forming the document image sequence. The converter converts the document image sequence edited by the editor to a moving image. The display controller allows the display device to display the document images forming the document image sequence in an image display area of the display device.

An electronic apparatus is provided with a display unit displaying a software keyboard and an input unit receiving user operation including key input to the software keyboard. A display control unit performs display change processing for changing at least one of the position and shape of the software keyboard and the arrangement and color scheme of each key included in the software keyboard every time the input unit receives an arbitrary number of key inputs.

A user can register a job execution button with frequently used settings reflected therein to a menu screen. However, the registration requires the user to perform a predetermined operation, which takes time and effort of the user. Thus, if the same setting change is made to a button a predetermined number of times or more, a button with the setting change reflected therein is newly generated.
