Abstract
A user interface apparatus includes two touch panels. A drag & drop operation over the two touch panels is described. Adjacent first and second touch panels display a display object, and a location of a designated point related to a display object is determined based on certain conditions. The display object is then displayed on one of the touch panels at the determined location.
Claims13
A user interface apparatus comprising:
- a first touch panel operable to display one or more display objects;
- a second touch panel operable to display the one or more display objects;
- a determining unit, operably coupled to at least one of the first touch panel and the second touch panel, operable to determine a location of a designated point on the first touch panel when a first pressed point at a display object on the second touch panel is pressed, moved and released, and when movement of the first pressed point conforms to a predefined condition;
- and
- a display control unit, operably coupled to the determining unit, operable to display at least part of the display object on the first touch panel at the location determined by the determining unit based on determination of the location of the designated point by the determining unit.
2 more elements
A user interface apparatus comprising:
- a first touch panel;
- a second touch panel wherein a display object displayed on the first touch panel or the second touch panel is operable to be dragged from one touch panel to another;
- an executing unit, operably coupled to at least one of the first touch panel and the second touch panel, operable to execute an application program to provide a display on at least one of the first and second touch panels;
- and
- a controller operable:
- to send a first message indicating a start of a press to the application program if the press starts on the display object on the first touch panel or the second touch panel;
- to determine a location of the press on the first touch panel or the second touch panel followed by sending a second message indicating the location of the press to the application program if the location of the press changes and the change of the location of the press conforms to a predefined condition;
- to send a third message indicating a release of the press to the application program if the press is released;
- and
- to inhibit sending the third message, determine a location of the press on the first touch panel followed by sending the second message indicating the location of the press to the application program, and inhibit sending the first message, if a press starts on a different touch panel from one on which the press has been released.
7 more elements
A user interface apparatus comprising:
- a display means for displaying a display object at a position corresponding to a press position on a touch panel of at least two touch panels;
- and
- a control means for controlling the display means to display at least part of the display object on a first touch panel of the at least two touch panels if a change in the press position on a second touch panel of the at least two touch panels between press start and press release conforms to a predefined condition.
