Provided is an image processing apparatus which includes a display, is able to read card information from a card, and provides at least any of a function using a scanner and a function using a printer, the image processing apparatus including: an execution unit configured to execute, if card information associated with a user account is detected, a login process to the image processing apparatus based on the user account; and a control unit configured to call, if the same card information is detected during a login state according to the login process, a shortcut corresponding to the card information in the login state, wherein, if the shortcut is called, a screen for a function associated with the shortcut is displayed on the display in a state in which a setting value group corresponding to the shortcut is applied.

The number of operational errors where a user unintentionally logs in as another user in quick login is reduced.

A processing device capable of user authentication includes a user registrator that receives registration of terminal identification information of a portable communication terminal as one piece of personal information associated with a user, a storage device that stores the personal information for each user, a user authenticator that displays a selection item related to a registered user on a user authentication screen, and performs authentication of the user in response to a selection, a terminal information acquirer that performs wireless communication with the portable communication terminal carried by a nearby user to acquire the terminal identification information of the portable communication terminal, and a nearby terminal determiner that determines whether the terminal identification information acquired matches the terminal identification information included in the personal information of the nearby user. In a case where the terminal identification information acquired matches the terminal identification information of the nearby user, the user authenticator displays a user selection item of the nearby user on the user authentication screen, in a manner such that the user selection item of the nearby user has a priority higher than the user selection item of another user.

A display control device includes a display section and a display controller. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a first image and a second image. The first image is displayed in an upper layer for the second image. The first image represents a category item. The second image represents a setting item belonging to the category item. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a predetermined image in the first image according to the setting item that has been entered.

An image forming apparatus includes a setting unit, a displaying unit, a receiving unit, and a printing unit. The setting unit accepts designation of source information from a user and set the accepted source information in association with an object. The displaying unit displays the object. The receiving unit receives image data from an external apparatus. The printing unit prints an image on a sheet based on the image data received by the receiving unit. Upon selection of the object displayed on the displaying unit, the printing unit prints an image on a sheet based on the image data from among the image data received by the receiving unit, that is received from an external apparatus having source information corresponding to the source information associated with the object.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to display an operation screen for receiving an operation regarding setting information of an image forming apparatus that operates in association with the setting information with optimum values changing depending on external factors on a display device and receive an operation on the operation screen, in which the processor is configured to display a creation screen that is one of the operation screen and is used to newly create the setting information, on the display device, receive an input of a reason for creation of the new setting information on the creation screen and specify an item to be set corresponding to the received reason for creation among setting items in the setting information, and display the specified item on the operation screen to be identifiable with respect to other setting items.

A data transmission apparatus includes a reception processing portion and a transmission processing portion. When an instruction to print data is input, the reception processing portion receives a selection operation to select a destination of the data from a printing apparatus that can print the data or a storage that can store the data. The transmission processing portion executes a first transmission process of sending a print job including the data to the printing apparatus when the printing apparatus is selected by the selection operation, and executes a second transmission process of sending the data to the storage using storage location information associated in advance with the storage when the storage is selected by the selection operation.

An information processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a plurality of display objects for giving an instruction to execute processing on an operation screen, a determination unit configured to determine whether to change a display order of the plurality of display objects based on a state of the information processing apparatus, and a change unit configured to change the display order of the plurality of display objects displayed on the operation screen based on the numbers of uses of the respective display objects in a case where the determination unit determines to change the display order.

A display control device includes a display section and a display controller. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a first image (703a to 703f) and a second image. The first image (703a to 703f) is displayed in an upper layer for the second image. The first image (703a to 703f) represents a category item. The second image represents a setting item belonging to the category item. The display controller controls the display section so as to cause the display section to display a predetermined image (705) in the first image (703a to 703f) according to the setting item that has been entered.

An image forming apparatus includes: an imaging device that captures a reference facial image used for determining a change in a facial expression, and a user facial image; a processor that determines an emotion in the user facial image based on an amount of the change in the facial expression from the reference facial image, and performs message support corresponding to the emotion in the user facial image; and a user interface that detects an input operation by a user without delay in setting a printing condition when a print job is executed in response to a request made by the user. The processor obtains the reference facial image captured by the imaging device at a time point when the user interface detects the input operation without delay and the facial expression is assumed to be a reference for the change in the facial expression.

A control device includes a processor and a memory coupled to or integrated with the processor and controls an information processing apparatus, in which the processor is configured to simultaneously display, in an operation screen, a selection list of tasks for selecting a task to be executed by the information processing apparatus and a slide button as an execution button for instructing execution of the selected task, and once an operation of instructing execution of the task by the slide button is detected, performs control to change the slide button to a cancel button for canceling the task that is being executed.
