Abstract
A display method includes accepting a first handwritten input to a display surface, determining a first area including a position on the display surface where the first handwritten input is made, displaying a first image corresponding to the first handwritten input in the first area, displaying a second image formed by enlarging the first image with a predetermined enlargement ratio, in a second area on the display surface, accepting a second handwritten input in the second area, and displaying an image corresponding to the second handwritten input as a part of the first image, at a position in the first area corresponding to a position in the second area where the second handwritten input is made, and in a size reduced with a reduction ratio that is a reciprocal of the predetermined enlargement ratio.
Claims8
A display method comprising:
- accepting a first handwritten input to a display surface;
- determining a first area including a position on the display surface where the first handwritten input is made;
- displaying a first image corresponding to the first handwritten input in the first area;
- copying the first image;
- displaying a second image formed by enlarging the copied first image with a predetermined enlargement ratio, in a second area on the display surface, the second image being identical to the first image except size;
- accepting a second handwritten input in the second area;
- displaying a display of the second handwritten input in the second area;
- copying the display of the second handwritten input;
- and
- displaying an image corresponding to the copied display of the second handwritten input as a part of the first image, at a position in the first area corresponding to a position in the second area where the second handwritten input is made, and in a size reduced with a reduction ratio that is a reciprocal of the predetermined enlargement ratio, the image being identical to the copied display of the second handwritten input except size, wherein
- the first area is a continuous area having a first portion where the first handwritten input is accepted and a second portion where the image corresponding to the second handwritten input is displayed,
- the second area is a continuous area having a third portion where the first image is displayed and a fourth portion where the second handwritten input is accepted, and the first area and the second area do not overlap each other.
A display device comprising:
- a display displaying an image on a display surface;
- a detector detecting a position of a handwritten input to the display surface;
- and
- at least one processor controlling the image displayed on the display surface, based on a result of detection by the detector,
- the at least one processor executing:
- accepting a first handwritten input to the display surface, based on a result of detection by the detector;
- determining a first area including a position on the display surface where the first handwritten input is made;
- displaying a first image corresponding to the first handwritten input in the first area;
- copying the first image;
- displaying a second image formed by enlarging the copied first image with a predetermined enlargement ratio, in a second area on the display surface, the second image being identical to the first image except size;
- accepting a second handwritten input in the second area, according to a result of detection by the detector;
- displaying a display of the second handwritten input in the second area;
- copying the display of the second handwritten input;
- and
- displaying an image corresponding to the copied display of the second handwritten input as a part of the first image, at a position in the first area corresponding to a position in the second area where the second handwritten input is made, and in a size reduced with a reduction ratio that is a reciprocal of the predetermined enlargement ratio, the image being identical to the copied display of the second handwritten input except size, wherein
- the first area is a continuous area having a first portion where the first handwritten input is accepted and a second portion where the image corresponding to the second handwritten input is displayed,
- the second area is a continuous area having a third portion where the first image is displayed and a fourth portion where the second handwritten input is accepted, and
- the first area and the second area do not overlap each other.
