CONTROL DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432484 titled 'CONTROL DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM FOR INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a control device that includes a processor and memory to control an information processing apparatus. The processor is configured to display a selection list of tasks and a slide button on an operation screen. The slide button acts as an execution button for instructing the execution of a selected task. When the slide button is used to instruct the execution of a task, the control device changes the slide button to a cancel button to cancel the task being executed.

Original Abstract Submitted

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.
