In an electronic device, a storage device registers registered data and a name of the registered data in association with a number of a one-touch key. A control device functions as a detector, a controller, and a releaser. When an operation device receives a request for registration of new registered data, the detector detects the number of the one-touch key satisfying a release condition. The controller displays the number of the one-touch key satisfying the condition in association with the name of the registered data corresponding to the number on a display device. The releaser registers data corresponding to a selected number of a one-touch key among numbers of one-touch keys satisfying the condition and a name of the registered data, in association with an unregistered number of a one-touch key, and releases a one-touch key having a number assigned to the registered data and the name of the data.

An image processing apparatus which is capable of preventing the ease of operation for a user relating to history buttons from being decreased. In response to execution of a function selected by the user, a history button for calling job setting information used by the function is displayed on a display unit. Information related to the job setting information is displayed in a display area constituting the history button. A display size of the display unit is obtained, and the amount of information to be displayed in the display area constituting the history button is controlled based on the obtained display size of the display unit.

An image processing apparatus that is capable of a simple operation and is capable of executing a function in an action pattern corresponding to a changeable user's request. A registration unit registers a function in association with an action pattern. A selection unit designates a function registered by the registration unit and to select one of a first mode and a second mode. A controller controls so as to execute a function designated by the selection unit according to the action pattern registered in association with the designated function when the selection unit selects the first mode, and to execute a function designated by the selection unit according to an action pattern designated by a user irrespective of the action pattern registered in association with the designated function when the selection unit selects the second mode.

An image processing apparatus for executing a plurality of applications associated with specific functions to perform image processing includes a first registration unit that, when executing any one of the plurality of applications, automatically registers first setting data set for the application in a storage unit in association with the application, a second registration unit that, according to a registration instruction from a user, registers second setting data set for any one of the plurality of applications in association with the application, and a display control unit that displays a calling-up and setting screen including a first button group for calling up the first setting data automatically registered in the storage unit and a second button group for calling up the second setting data registered in the storage unit.

An electronic device includes a housing including a front panel and a rear panel, the rear panel arranged on a side of the housing opposite the front panel, the housing further including side edges connecting the rear panel to the front panel. The electronic device further includes, a processor configured to execute instructions and the processor being arranged within the housing, a display device configured to generate an interface based in part in response to the processor, wherein the display device is arranged in the front panel, a touchscreen associated with the display device and configured to sense a user input, wherein the user input is provided to the processor and wherein the touchscreen comprises part of the front panel, and a rear input arranged on the rear panel of the housing and configured to provide a dedicated input to the processor.

An information processing system includes a first display control unit and a second display control unit. The first display control unit displays, on a display unit, a button on which a setting value of a program is displayed. The second display control unit starts up the program when the button is pressed and, in accordance with the started program, displays, on the display unit, a setting screen that corresponds to the button being pressed.

An image processing apparatus for executing a plurality of applications associated with specific functions to perform image processing includes a first registration unit that, when executing any one of the plurality of applications, automatically registers first setting data set for the application in a storage unit in association with the application, a second registration unit that, according to a registration instruction from a user, registers second setting data set for any one of the plurality of applications in association with the application, and a display control unit that displays a calling-up and setting screen including a first button group for calling up the first setting data automatically registered in the storage unit and a second button group for calling up the second setting data registered in the storage unit.

In an information processing apparatus, in a case where between a timing when a user operation based on a first operation button is executed and a timing when a user operation based on a second operation button is executed, another user operation is executed on document data, a third operation button is added between the first and second operation buttons, and in a display area, a tab is displayed in a state where the third operation button is placed between the first and second operation buttons.

A first soft key for use of a function that differs from a function available by selecting a second soft key displayed in a second display area of an information processing apparatus or a first soft key for use of a function that is the same as a function available by selecting a second soft key displayed in the second display area is displayed in a first display area displayed together with the second display area in accordance with a display condition.

A processing apparatus includes: a processing unit that performs plural predetermined processes; a display unit; a creation unit that creates a first process receiving portion and a second process receiving portion, each of which receives an instruction to any one of the plural predetermined processes on the display unit; and an execution portion that executes the process, in a case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, after receiving the instruction again, whereas, in a case where the instruction is received by the second process receiving portion, the execution portion executing the process without receiving the instruction again.
