Abstract

A data processing apparatus includes a display portion, a control portion including a display control portion for causing the display portion to display a preview image of output target data, a touch sensor for receiving, on the display portion, a user operation for performing output setting for the output target data concerning the preview image, an output portion for outputting the output target data based on the output setting, and a control portion for, in a state where the display control portion arranges objects in page unit sequentially to be displayed as the preview image, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation for the objects, performing page setting concerning the objects to be operated.

First claim

1 . (canceled)

2 . A data processing apparatus, comprising:
a display portion; a display control portion operable to cause the display portion to display a preview image of an image data; a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user; and a control portion operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display control portion displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated; wherein when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching in two objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion combines two pages concerning the two objects.

3 . The data processing apparatus according to the claim 2 , wherein
when the touch sensor receives the operation for pinching in the two objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion combines two pages concerning the two objects at a border of pages.

4 . The data processing apparatus according to the claim 2 , wherein
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching in two objects which are set to be stored as separate files as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion combines the separate files into one file.

5 . A data processing apparatus, comprising:
a display portion; a display control portion operable to cause the display portion to display a preview image of an image data; a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user; and a control portion operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display control portion displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated; wherein when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out one of the objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion divides one page concerning to the one object into two pages.

6 . The data processing apparatus according to the claim 5 , wherein when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out the object which is set to be stored as one file as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion divides the one file into two files in page unit.

7 . A data processing method of a data processing apparatus which comprises a display portion, a display control portion operable to cause the display portion to display a preview image of an image data, a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user, and a control portion operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display control portion displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated, wherein
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching in two objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion combines two pages concerning the two objects.

8 . A data processing method of a data processing apparatus which comprises a display portion, a display control portion operable to cause the display portion to display a preview image of an image data, a touch sensor operable to receive a touch operation by a user, and a control portion operable to, when the touch sensor receives a predetermined pinch operation to objects in a state where the display control portion displays the objects in page unit as the preview image, perform page setting concerning the objects to be operated, wherein
when the touch sensor receives an operation for pinching out one of the objects as the predetermined pinch operation, the control portion divides one page concerning to the one object into two pages.
