Problems solved by technology

[0007]However, because the use form of the device is different for each user, of course, the frequently used functions are also different for different users
Therefore, for the user, since frequently-used functions are not registered as soft keys, there is a situation where the soft keys cannot be effectively used.

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0163] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a modified example of a partial configuration of the display unit 15 and the operation unit 14 of the digital multi-function peripheral 1 incorporating functions corresponding to the second embodiment. In addition, in the following description, only the point which differs from 1st Embodiment is demonstrated.

[0164] In the second embodiment, the operation unit 14 is provided with a function registration key 143 in addition to the same keys (function switching key 141 and menu key 142 ) as in the first embodiment.

[0165] The function registration key 143 is a key having the same function as the soft key P0 in the first embodiment. That is, when the function registration key 143 is pressed, a process of creating a new soft key in which a function desired by the user is registered starts. More specifically, when the user presses the function registration key 143 while the copy standby screen Sc is displayed on the display unit 15, a new re...

Abstract

An electronic device includes an entry unit, a registering function accepting unit, and a function registering unit. The entry unit includes software keys registered with functions of the electronic device. The registering function accepting unit accepts a function selection instruction from a user. The function registering unit registers a function with the software keys. The software keys include an unregistered software key in which a function is not registered. The function registering unit registers the function accepted by the registering function accepting unit with the unregistered software key.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic equipment provided with an input unit with soft keys. Here, the so-called soft key is a key registered with a function corresponding to a scene, and the user can activate the function registered in the soft key by operating the soft key. Background technique [0002] In recent years, a single electronic device tends to have multiple functions. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to make it easy for the user to call up a desired function from among the various functions of the device. Therefore, the following technical solutions have been considered. [0003] For example, we know the structure for function selection only by the operation of keys. In this structure, various functions of the device are associated with key information, and when a key is selected, the function associated with the key is called out. [0004] In addition, we also know a technique of setting only functions frequently used b...
