  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining basic screen transition in the information system provided by the information processing apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, first, on the start screen (S111), an identification image is displayed for each user having an account of the information system. A gear image (second image) for instructing the transition to the edit screen is shown. In the start screen, three account names “Guest”, “A”, and “B” are shown, and the account names are added to the respective identification images and displayed.

  Here, when the user touches the identification image including “Guest” on the touch panel 120 with a finger or the like, the coordinate information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 200 and processed by the input processing unit 220, and then the screen signal The output unit 210 shifts to a screen corresponding to the user related to “Guest” (S112). Here, the screen corresponding to the user means a screen on which the content displayed for each user can be different, for example, by setting the functions that are frequently used by the user to be easily accessible. For example, when the information processing system 100 is a multifunction peripheral having a printer and a copy function, it is a screen on which a plurality of service tiles, which are images indicating services such as FAX and copy, are arranged. This screen is provided for each user. You can change the tile layout and the service tile displayed on the first screen. The user can move to the start screen of each service by selecting a service tile related to the desired service. In this screen, service tiles can be added, deleted, and rearranged. On the start screen, when the user touches a gear image that means editing, the second output unit 212 of the screen signal output unit 210 outputs the editing screen (S113). The editing screen has a screen in which the management editing identification images are arranged in the same arrangement as the identification image of the start screen. Here, the same arrangement means that even if the start screen is changed to the edit screen, the size of the identification image on the start screen and the identification image for management editing does not change, and the arrangement order for each identification image of the user account is also the same. It means not changing. In this embodiment, the management editing identification image is obtained by adding a gear image (second image) indicating that editing is being performed to the upper right of the identification image that is the same image as the identification image of the start screen. ing. Here, the addition of the gear image includes adding by changing the size. Thereby, each user can grasp visually that it has shifted to the screen for management editing. Therefore, since the editing screen is displayed with the layout of the displayed start screen by a simpler operation, the user can easily grasp the arrangement of the management editing identification image and easily perform account management editing. it can. In this embodiment, an image indicating that management editing is being performed is attached to each identification image, such as a gear image. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and management editing is being performed at any position on the editing screen. It is also possible to indicate that the editing screen is being displayed by another display such as arranging another image indicating that the

  When the “Guest” management editing identification image is touched on this editing screen, the screen signal output unit 210 outputs a screen for performing management editing of the “Guest” account (S114). In the management editing work for each account, a screen corresponding to the user can be set. For example, editing operations such as changing the identification image, setting a password, and changing the displayed account name are included. On the other hand, when the “Done” (completed) image is touched (selected) on the editing screen, the screen returns to the start screen again (S115). In addition to the transition to the “screen corresponding to the user” after selection on the “edit screen”, the screen may be shifted to the “screen corresponding to the user” after the screen of S114 is displayed and edited. Specifically, after pressing NEXT in S114, a “screen corresponding to the user” may be displayed. Further, the transition to the “screen corresponding to the user” and the transition to the screen of S114 may be selected depending on the selected position of the third image on the editing screen.

  Although not particularly shown in the present embodiment, a process of authenticating the user may be performed when shifting from the start screen to the edit screen. In this case, the screen signal output unit 210 can further output a screen requesting input of a password or the like.

  Next, processing performed from the editing screen according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating transition of an account editing screen. First, when an identification image for management editing of “B” account is touched on the editing screen (S121), an editing screen of “B” account is displayed (S122). Here, for example, after editing the identification image or the like (S123), when “Done” is touched, the editing screen is output again (S124). Here, an image indicating that the edited image is smaller than the management editing identification image is added to the upper left of the management editing identification image of the “B” account. As a result, the edited account can be confirmed, and duplicate editing and omissions can be prevented.
