Sensor managed apparatus, method and computer program product

A method, implemented by an electronic device that includes a display, and a first area and a second area related to the display, the method comprising:

• by circuitry of the electronic device,
• detecting user interaction with the second area, wherein the second area includes a plurality of input receiving objects each configured to receive an individual touch event from the user to perform a different respective function to perform control on an object or information displayed on the display;
• determining whether a detected user interaction with the second area corresponds to a predetermined swiping motion performed over all of the plurality of input receiving objects;
• and
• executing a display state change of the display when the detected user interaction with the second sensing area corresponds to the predetermined swiping motion performed over all of the plurality of input receiving objects.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing therein a program that includes instructions which when executed by an electronic device that includes a display, and a first area and a second area related to the display, causes the electronic device to perform a method comprising:

• detecting user interaction with the second area, wherein the second area includes a plurality of input receiving objects each configured to receive an individual touch event from the user to perform a different respective function to perform control on an object or information displayed on the display;
• determining whether a detected user interaction with the second area corresponds to a predetermined swiping motion performed over all of the plurality of input receiving objects;
• and
• executing a display state change of the display when the detected user interaction with the second sensing area corresponds to the predetermined swiping motion performed over all of the plurality of input receiving objects.

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• a first area and a second area related to the display;
• circuitry configured to
• detect user interaction with the second area, wherein the second area includes a plurality of input receiving objects each configured to receive an individual touch event from the user to perform a different respective function to perform control on an object or information displayed on the display;
• and
• execute a display state change of the display, including the first area and the second area, when the detected user interaction with the second sensing area corresponds to a predetermined swiping motion performed over at least one of the plurality of input receiving objects.
