Abstract:
An image forming apparatus of an embodiment includes a sensor unit, an operation identification unit, and an object detection unit. The sensor unit receives an electromagnetic wave and outputs information indicating a physical quantity of the received electromagnetic wave. The operation identification unit identifies an input operation to its own apparatus, based on the information indicating the physical quantity of the electromagnetic wave. The object detection unit detects the presence or absence of an object around its own apparatus, based on the information indicating the physical quantity of the electromagnetic wave.

Claim (Index 11):
An image forming apparatus, comprising:\n a sensor device that receives an electromagnetic wave and outputs information indicating a physical quantity of the received electromagnetic wave; a display device that displays information on its own apparatus; a processor that executes instructions to perform operations, comprising:\n changing an angle formed between a display surface and a light receiving surface of the sensor device; \n measuring the angle; \n identifying an operation on the display surface based on the information indicating the physical quantity of the electromagnetic wave in a case where the angle is a first angle within a first range; \n detecting a presence or an absence of an objected around its own apparatus based on the information indicating the physical quantity of the electromagnetic wave, in a case where the angle measured is a second angle within a second range.
