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.

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.

A print system includes a first multifunction peripheral, a second multifunction peripheral configured to communicate with the first multifunction peripheral, and a server configured to communicate with the first and second multifunction peripherals. The first multifunction peripheral receives print job data from a terminal device and stores the received print job data. The server transmits an HTML file of a screen for printing associated with printing based on the print job data to the second multifunction peripheral. The second multifunction peripheral displays, based on the HTML file of the screen for printing received from the server, the screen for printing and, when a print instruction operation is performed on the displayed screen for printing, receives the print job data stored in the first multifunction peripheral from the first multifunction peripheral and executes printing based on the received print job data.

A printer monitoring system includes: a server configured to collect event information indicating an event that occurs in a printer; and a mobile device configured to execute a display application that causes a display to display a related screen including the event information. The server generates link information for directly transitioning a screen displayed by the display application to the related screen corresponding to the event information, and transmits the event information received from the printer and the link information to the mobile device. The mobile device displays the event that occurs in the printer on the display in a selectable manner, and causes a screen displayed by the display application to be transitioned to the related screen indicated by the link information when the event is selected.

An information processing apparatus includes a first display controller, a second display controller, an image display controller and a first switching unit. The first display controller performs control such that a first screen is displayed on a display. The first screen is a screen that shows a specified destination and includes a first image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination. The second display controller performs control such that a second screen is displayed. The second screen is a screen that shows a specified destination. The image display controller performs control, in response to a predetermined operation performed while the second screen is displayed, such that a second image for accepting an operation for inputting a character string representing a destination is displayed on the display. The first switching unit switches between the first screen and the second screen.

A data processing apparatus includes a reading unit, an extraction unit, and a rewriting unit. The reading unit reads, in a case where an instruction for changing a value of a setting item regarding a service to be provided by the data processing apparatus is issued by a user, a value of the instructed setting item before the change from a predetermined storing region. The extraction unit extracts shortcut information including the value before the change as a parameter value from among plural pieces of shortcut information each including a parameter for shortcut launching of a service to be provided by the data processing apparatus. The rewriting unit rewrites the parameter value included in the extracted shortcut information to a designated value.

A print system includes a first multifunction peripheral, a second multifunction peripheral configured to communicate with the first multifunction peripheral, and a server configured to communicate with the first and second multifunction peripherals. The first multifunction peripheral receives print job data from a terminal device and stores the received print job data. The server transmits an HTML file of a screen for printing associated with printing based on the print job data to the second multifunction peripheral. The second multifunction peripheral displays, based on the HTML file of the screen for printing received from the server, the screen for printing and, when a print instruction operation is performed on the displayed screen for printing, receives the print job data stored in the first multifunction peripheral from the first multifunction peripheral and executes printing based on the received print job data.

Systems and methods for locking and unlocking software applications are described. In some embodiments, a software application is placed in a locked mode. While the software application is in the locked mode, data to alter the application's state is received. In response to receiving the data, the mode of the software application is altered to an unlocked mode. The placement of a software application in a locked or unlocked mode does not affect the modes of other software applications on the user device.

An image processing apparatus includes a touch-sensitive panel display; and a hardware processor. The hardware processor is configured to presume a hidden region when a user finishes performing a gesture on the touch-sensitive panel display, the hidden region being a part of the touch-sensitive panel display and covered at least by a hand of the user to prevent the user from seeing, and determine a condition corresponding to the gesture. The touch-sensitive panel display is configured to display the condition, and where a requirement that the hidden region and a display region in which to display the condition overlap each other is satisfied, the touch-sensitive panel display displays the condition again before processing is performed in accordance with the condition.

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.
