Abstract
An information processing system includes circuitry that causes a first scrolling of a displayed content region within its boundaries in response to a first user operation. The circuitry of the information processing system also causes a second scrolling of the displayed content region beyond its boundaries in response to a second user operation.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a touch screen display;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing apparatus to:
- display status information of a status of the information processing apparatus and a content on the touch screen display in a first display control mode, wherein the status information is displayed in a status region adjacent to a top edge of the touch screen display in the first display control mode,
- detect a first touch operation on the touch screen display;
- scroll, in response to the detection of the first touch operation, the displayed content,
- detect a second touch operation different from the first touch operation on the touch screen display,
- cause, in response to the detection of the second touch operation, a second display control mode in which a display position of the displayed status information and the displayed content in the first display control mode is changed to a changed position which is lower on the touch screen display than the display position in the first display control mode,
- detect a third touch operation performed on the touch screen display and in a region containing the status information at the changed position in the second display control mode,
- display, in response to the detection of the third touch operation, a notification in the second display control mode,
- detect a fourth touch operation performed on the touch screen display and to a display item, the display item being displayed with the displayed notification and located adjacent to a side edge of the touch screen display in the second display control mode, and
- revert, in response to the detection of the fourth touch operation, the second display control mode to the first display control mode.

An information processing method, comprising:
- displaying on a touch screen display status information of a status of the information processing apparatus and a content on the touch screen display in a first display control mode, wherein the status information is displayed in a status region adjacent to a top edge of the touch screen display in the first display control mode;
- detecting a first touch operation on the touch screen display;
- controlling scrolling of the displayed content with circuitry, the scrolling being in response to the detection of the first touch operation;
- detecting a second touch operation different from the first touch operation on the touch screen display;
- causing, in response to the detection of the second touch operation, a second display control mode in which a display position of the displayed status information and the displayed content in the first display control mode is changed to a changed position which is lower on the touch screen display than the display position in the first display control mode;
- detecting a third touch operation performed on the touch screen display and in a region containing the status information at the changed position in the second display control mode;
- displaying on the touch screen display, in response to the detection of the third touch operation, a notification in the second display control mode;
- detecting a fourth touch operation performed on the touch screen display and to a display item, the display item being displayed with the displayed notification and located adjacent to a side edge of the touch screen display in the second display control mode, and
- reverting, in response to the detection of the fourth touch operation, the second display control mode to the first display control mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute a method, the method comprising:
- displaying on a touch screen display status information of a status of the information processing apparatus and a content on the touch screen display in a first display control mode, wherein the status information is displayed in a status region adjacent to a top edge of the touch screen display in the first display control mode;
- detecting a first touch operation on the touch screen display;
- controlling scrolling of the displayed content with the processor, the scrolling being in response to the detection of the first touch operation;
- detecting a second touch operation different from the first touch operation on the touch screen display;
- causing, in response to the detection of the second touch operation, a second display control mode in which a display position of the displayed status information and the displayed content in the first display control mode is changed to a changed position which is lower on the touch screen display than the display position in the first display control mode;
- detecting a third touch operation performed on the touch screen display and in a region containing the status information at the changed position in the second display control mode;
- displaying on the touch screen display, in response to the detection of the third touch operation, a notification in the second display control mode;
- detecting a fourth touch operation performed on the touch screen display and to a display item, the display item being displayed with the displayed notification and located adjacent to a side edge of the touch screen display in the second display control mode, and
- reverting, in response to the detection of the fourth touch operation, the second display control mode to the first display control mode.
