Abstract
Provided is a display control apparatus including a display control unit configured to control a display unit in a manner that content is displayed on a basis of a mode selected from a plurality of modes. The plurality of modes include at least a mode in which an object included in the content is displayed obliquely with respect to a direction of a side of a display area.

A display control apparatus, comprising:
- a display control unit configured to:
- control a display unit to display content in a first state, wherein the content includes a plurality of objects;
- select an individual rotation mode from a plurality of modes;
- rotate each of the plurality of objects such that a positional relationship between the plurality of objects is maintained while the plurality of objects are scrolled in a scroll direction,
- wherein the scroll direction of the plurality of objects in the individual rotation mode corresponds to one of a first direction of a first side of the display unit or a second direction of a second side of the display unit;
- control, based on the rotation of each of the plurality of objects, the display unit to display the content in a second state,
- wherein, in the second state, each of the plurality of objects is oblique with respect to the first direction;
- move the content in the scroll direction such that a first movement distance of the content is larger than a scroll direction component of a second movement distance of an operating object based on:
- a movement direction of the operating object that is substantially vertical to the first side of the display unit, and
- the scroll direction that is horizontal to the first side of the display unit;
- and
- display a global user interface (UI) item, from one of a home button, a voice recognition button, or a screen off button, in a space between the content in the second state and a plurality of adjacent sides of the display unit.

A display control method, comprising:
- controlling a display unit to display content in a first state, wherein the content includes a plurality of objects;
- selecting an individual rotation mode from a plurality of modes;
- rotating each of the plurality of objects such that a positional relationship between the plurality of objects is maintained while the plurality of objects are scrolled in a scroll direction,
- wherein the scroll direction of the plurality of objects in the individual rotation mode corresponds to one of a first direction of a first side of the display unit or a second direction of a second side of the display unit;
- controlling, based on the rotation of each of the plurality of objects, the display unit to display the content in a second state,
- wherein, in the second state, each of the plurality of objects is oblique with respect to the first direction;
- moving the content in the scroll direction such that a first movement distance of the content is larger than a scroll direction component of a second movement distance of an operating object based on:
- a movement direction of the operating object that is substantially vertical to the first side of the display unit, and
- the scroll direction that is horizontal to the first side of the display unit;
- and
- displaying a global user interface (UI) item, from one of a home button, a voice recognition button, or a screen off button, in a space between the content in the second state and a plurality of adjacent sides of the display unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor of a display control apparatus, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- controlling a display unit to display content in a first state, wherein the content includes a plurality of objects;
- selecting an individual rotation mode from a plurality of modes;
- rotating each of the plurality of objects such that a positional relationship between the plurality of objects is maintained while the plurality of objects are scrolled in a scroll direction,
- wherein the scroll direction of the plurality of objects in the individual rotation mode corresponds to one of a first direction of a first side of the display unit or a second direction of a second side of the display unit;
- controlling, based on the rotation of each of the plurality of objects, the display unit to display the content in a second state,
- wherein, in the second state, each of the plurality of objects is oblique with respect to the first direction;
- moving the content in the scroll direction such that a first movement distance of the content is larger than a scroll direction component of a second movement distance of an operating object based on:
- a movement direction of the operating object that is substantially vertical to the first side of the display unit, and
- the scroll direction that is horizontal to the first side of the display unit;
- and
- displaying a global user interface (UI) item, from one of a home button, a voice recognition button, or a screen off button, in a space between the content in the second state and a plurality of adjacent sides of the display unit.
