Information processing device, information processing method, and information processing program

An information processing method in an information processing apparatus that includes a first housing having a first screen and a second housing having a second screen and that is allowed to switch between a first screen state and a second screen state by changing arrangement of the first housing and the second housing, the first housing and the second housing being rotatably connected to each other, the information processing method comprising:

• detecting an angle formed by the first screen and the second screen;
• determining a shape of the information processing apparatus based on the detected angle and determining whether or not a fold-and-return operation is performed, the fold-and-return operation being an operation in which a first angle formed by the first screen and the second screen in a two-screen state is changed to a predetermined second angle and then returned to the first angle within a predetermined time;
• switching a display method for performing a display operation in the first screen and the second screen to another display method when the fold-and-return operation is performed;
• and
• performing a display operation in the first screen and the second screen using the display method resulting from the switching.

An information processing program that causes an information processing apparatus to execute processing, the information processing apparatus being an apparatus that includes a first housing having a first screen and a second housing having a second screen and that is allowed to switch between a first screen state and a second screen state by changing arrangement of the first housing and the second housing, the first housing and the second housing being rotatably connected to each other, the information processing program causing the apparatus to execute the processing comprising:

• detecting an angle formed by the first screen and the second screen;
• determining a shape of the information processing apparatus based on the detected angle and determining whether or not a fold-and-return operation is performed, the fold-and-return operation being an operation in which a first angle formed by the first screen and the second screen in a two-screen state is changed to a predetermined second angle and then returned to the first angle within a predetermined time;
• switching a display method for performing a display operation in the first screen and the second screen to another display method when the fold-and-return operation is performed;
• and
• performing a display operation in the first screen and the second screen using the display method resulting from the switching.
