An example image forming apparatus may include a display panel, a memory, and a processor connected to the memory and the display panel. The display panel may display a first screen including a highlight indicator and a menu having a menu option displayed in the highlight indicator. Further, the memory may include a screen transition module to receive a selection of the menu option. Further, the screen transition module may perform a screen transition from the first screen to a second screen that displays a submenu option in the highlight indicator. The submenu option is associated with the selected menu option.

An image processing apparatus includes: a display; a memory that stores multiple key frames of a video guide on how to recover from an operating error; an error sensor that detects the operating error; and a display processor that allows the display to display at least one of the multiple key frames as a still frame for a digest along with an operation button for video playback, when the error sensor detects the operating error, the multiple key frames being stored on the memory, and that further allows the display to play back the video guide by serially displaying the multiple key frames, when the operation button is pressed.

This invention provides an information processing apparatus which obtains screen information via a network from an external apparatus and displays an operation screen based on information registered in association with a specific application, when a predetermined key is operated while the specific application is in progress. To accomplish this, an MFP obtains screen information from a Web server based on URL information registered in association with a Web application, and displays the initial screen of the Web application, when a reset key is pressed while the Web application is in progress.

A display device, comprises: a manipulation input part that receives user operation; a display part on which a list screen showing a plurality of data elements in a list form is displayed; and a hardware processor that: obtains the data element to display on the list screen; and creates the list screen based on the obtained data element and displays on the display part. The hardware processor obtains a number of the data element that is more than a number that can be displayed on the list screen and that enables a time required until completion of displaying the list screen to be less than a predetermined period of time and outputs the number of the data element that can be displayed on the list screen, and stores the data element exceeding the number that can be displayed on the list screen as cache.

An example image forming apparatus may include a display panel, a memory, and a processor connected to the memory and the display panel. The display panel may display a first screen including a highlight indicator and a menu having a menu option displayed in the highlight indicator. Further, the memory may include a screen transition module to receive a selection of the menu option. Further, the screen transition module may perform a screen transition from the first screen to a second screen that displays a submenu option in the highlight indicator. The submenu option is associated with the selected menu option.

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a memory storing a program, and a processor configured to execute the program to implement processes of accepting an operation with respect to a setting screen that displays an image including a plurality of display components corresponding to a plurality of setting items on a display device, and accepting a setting operation for enlarging or reducing a display size of at least one display component of the plurality of display components and changing display information that is displayed in a display area of the at least one display component according to the display size of the at least one display component.

A software widget running on a user device may be designed to operate in a locked or an unlocked mode. In unlocked mode, the user has full interactivity with the widget. In locked mode, however, at least some of the interactivity with the widget is restricted, despite the fact that the widget still operates normally otherwise while in the locked mode. While in locked mode, user input may be compared against a predefined unlocking sequence to determine if the widget should be unlocked.

A display device, comprises: a manipulation input part that receives user operation; a display part on which a list screen showing a plurality of data elements in a list form is displayed; and a hardware processor that: obtains the data element to display on the list screen; and creates the list screen based on the obtained data element and displays on the display part. The hardware processor obtains a number of the data element that is more than a number that can be displayed on the list screen and that enables a time required until completion of displaying the list screen to be less than a predetermined period of time and outputs the number of the data element that can be displayed on the list screen, and stores the data element exceeding the number that can be displayed on the list screen as cash.

An image forming apparatus includes an installation unit configured to install an application, a setting unit configured to perform setting of whether user authentication is to be executed for each of a plurality of applications including the application installed by the installation unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether user authentication is to be executed based on the setting performed by the setting unit when an application is selected from among the plurality of applications.

A display control device includes a processor and a memory coupled to or integrated with the processor and controls display of an operation screen of an information apparatus, in a case in which a selected setting item is arbitrarily selected from plural setting items displayed in a list form in the operation screen, the processor hides a setting item other than the selected setting item, displays the selected setting item on an upper side of a display region in which the plural setting items were displayed in a list form, and additionally displays a relevant setting item related to the selected setting item below the selected setting item.
