Abstract
A display device includes an object detecting section, a display section, a gesture acceptance section, and a display control section. The object detecting section detects an object contained in display target data. The display control section determines whether the object detected by the object detecting section is present in, of the display target data, a range of data displayed as a display screen image on the display section, keeps the display section from displaying a scroll bar in presence of the object in the range of data, and allows the display section to display the scroll bar in absence of the object in the range of data.
Claims6
A display device comprising:
- a display section that displays a display screen image based on the display target data;
- and
- a control unit that includes a CPU, wherein
- upon execution of a display control program by the CPU, the control unit functions as:
- an object detecting section that detects an object, the object being an image formed of graphics or characters and composing a part of the display target data;
- a gesture acceptance section that accepts a scroll gesture on the display screen image;
- and
- a display control section that allows, based on the scroll gesture accepted by the gesture acceptance section, the display section to provide a scrolling display, wherein while allowing the display section to provide the scrolling display, the display control section determines whether the object detected by the object detecting section is present in, of the display target data, a range of data displayed as the display screen image on the display section, keeps the display section from displaying a scroll bar in presence of the object in the range of data, and allows the display section to display the scroll bar in absence of the object in the range of data.
A display control method comprising:
- an object detecting step of detecting an object, the object being an image formed of graphics or characters and composing a part of the display target data;
- a gesture acceptance step of accepting a scroll gesture on a display screen image displayed on a display section based on the display target data;
- and
- a display control step of allowing, based on the scroll gesture accepted in the gesture acceptance step, the display section to provide a scrolling display, wherein while allowing the display section to provide the scrolling display, whether the object detected in the object detecting step is present in, of the display target data, a range of data displayed as the display screen image on the display section is determined, the display section is kept from displaying a scroll bar in presence of the object in the range of data, and the display section is allowed to display the scroll bar in absence of the object in the range of data.
