Abstract
A display control device includes a touch panel and a controller. The controller includes a display section and a receiving section. The display section displays at least one object on the touch panel. The receiving section receives a slide operation on one object of the at least one object. When the slide operation is received by the receiving section, the display section determines, based on the slide operation, a character corresponding to the one object and displays the character on the touch panel.
Claims10
A display control device comprising:
- a touch panel;
- a display section configured to display a plurality of objects on the touch panel;
- a receiving section configured to receive a slide operation on any one object of the objects;
- a first detection section;
- a second detection section configured to detect an end point of the slide operation;
- and
- a first determination section, wherein
- each of the objects corresponds to a plurality of characters,
- the first determination section determines one object from the objects according to the end point,
- the first detection section detects a first distance in a first direction from the one object determined by the first determination section to the end point,
- when the slide operation is received by the receiving section, the display section determines, according to the first distance, any one character of the characters corresponding to the one object determined by the first determination section and displays the character on the touch panel,
- the touch panel has a rectangular shape,
- the display section displays the objects arranged in a second direction parallel to one side among peripheral sides of the touch panel,
- the first direction is orthogonal to the second direction,
- the display section displays an object group on the touch panel,
- in the object group, the objects are arranged in a grid,
- when the slide operation performed on the object is received by the receiving section, the display section displays a character string display area which includes an input character on the touch panel,
- the display control device further comprises a second decision section configured to decide whether or not the number of characters included in the character string display area is equal to or larger than a specific number,
- when the second decision section decides that the number of characters is equal to or larger than the specific number, the display section erases the object group, and
- after the object group has been erased, the display section displays the objects arranged in the second direction on the touch panel and the receiving section receives the slide operation.

- the display control method further comprises:
- displaying an object group on the touch panel;
- arranging the objects in the object group in a grid;
- displaying, when the slide operation performed on the object is received by the display control device, a character string display area which includes an input character on the touch panel;
- deciding whether or not the number of characters included in the character string display area is equal to or larger than a specific number;
- erasing the object group when the number of characters is decided to be equal to or larger than the specific number;
- and
- displaying the objects arranged in the second direction on the touch panel and receiving the slide operation after the object group has been erased.
