    Abstract: In order to promote the use of a display panel as an operation panel part, if a communicable terminal device (9) is detected (S1), a CPU (10) requests the terminal device (9) to transmit panel information (S2), and determines, on the basis of the panel information, whether or not the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of an operation panel part (6) (S3). If the operability of the terminal device (9) is higher than that of the operation panel part (6), the CPU (10) displays a terminal device utilization screen on a display panel (61) (S4). If an operation of an image forming device (1) by the terminal device (9) is selected by a user, the CPU (10) generates data for displaying an image of an operation screen based on the display on the display panel (61) and a setting value set by the operation of the operation panel part (6), and transmits the data to the terminal device (9) (S6).

    Abstract: The password entry device includes a first display control unit, a tap determination unit, a second display control unit, and a password-entry acceptance unit. The tap determination unit determines which of the characters displayed in the first style by the first display control unit have been tapped. The second display control unit performs control operations to display the characters, which are determined by the tap determination unit that they were tapped, in a second area, which differs from the first area of the touch panel, in a second style, which differs from the first style. The password-entry acceptance unit accepts the entry of the characters that make up the password with the characters displayed in the second style by the second display control unit.

    Abstract: A control device includes: a first acquisition unit which, when a specific data storage server is selected, acquires specific server identification information; a second acquisition unit which, upon acquiring the specific server identification information, acquires specific file type information of specific data from the specific data storage server; a determination unit which determines whether the specific data has an interpretable format, based on the specific server identification information and the specific file type information; a conversion processing execution unit which, when the specific data does not have the interpretable format, causes a specific conversion server to convert the specific data to data having the interpretable format; and an output processing execution unit which causes an image output apparatus to output a specific image expressed by the specific data without causing the specific conversion server to execute the conversion when the specific data is determined to have the interpretable format.
