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.

In an image processing apparatus, in a case where a mode for executing, by pressing a second software key, a function based on a setting content of the second software key without displaying a first screen with which a setting content of an application is changeable is set and a setting content identical to the setting content displayed on the pressed second software key is displayed on a third software key, a second screen that enables a user to check the setting content corresponding to the second software key is displayed.

Systems and methods relate generally to scan authorization. For example, a memory has stored therein at least one keyword in a word bank, at least one permission in at least one profile, and at least one action to be performed responsive to a scanning operation of a document including the at least one keyword. A scan file and a user identification associated therewith of the scanning operation are obtained. A recognition operation is performed on an image in the scan file. A check for the at least one keyword in a recognized content obtained from the image is performed. Responsive to recognizing the at least one keyword in the recognized content, a check for the at least one permission having the user identification is performed. The at least one action for the scanning operation is performed responsive to an outcome of the checking for the at least one permission.

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 user interface is provided which expressly specifies items to be changed in accordance with the change of a setting value of one item, and collectively reflects or abandons a plurality of entered setting values. An information processing apparatus continuously accepts a plurality of the setting values to be collectively changed when it is determined that the selected setting item is a specific item to be collectively changed, in the case where change of the setting value is instructed through the menu, and collectively rewrite a plurality of setting values stored in the storage to a plurality of accepted setting values, when a button for reflecting a plurality of accepted setting values displayed on the display unit is selected.

An image forming apparatus improved in convenience of reusing executed jobs. A selection screen for selecting between jobs for image processing, and a configuration screen for selecting setting values for a selected job are displayed on a display. A combination of setting values of setting items for an executed job are accumulated in an HDD in association with a job selected on the selection screen when executing the job. A custom job displayed on the selection screen is registered together with setting values configured by a user. The accumulated executed jobs are selectively displayed on the selection screen, together with application jobs associated with the image processing functions, and registered custom jobs configured by the user. The executed jobs are displayed on the selection screen such that jobs executed by selecting the application job and jobs executed by selecting the custom job are discernible.

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.

An information processing apparatus includes a display and a processing execution unit. The display displays an operator for receiving an instruction to execute predetermined processing. At least part of information concerning the predetermined processing is not appended to the operator. When the operator is selected by a user, the processing execution unit starts to display associated information associated with the operator, continues to display the associated information for a predetermined time, and then executes the predetermined processing.

A job execution apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention includes a display unit configured to display a setting screen, a job execution unit, a reset unit configured to set default values in all of a plurality of setting items upon receipt of a reset instruction, and a storage unit configured to store predetermined setting items out of the plurality of setting items and setting values in association with a shortcut key. The job execution apparatus is capable of displaying the setting screen in a state where the setting values stored in association with the shortcut key are set in the predetermined setting items, and the reset unit sets, upon receipt of the reset instruction after the selection of the shortcut key is received, the default values in setting items excluding a part thereof.

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.
