Abstract
Disclosed herein is a pointer display device, including, a touch panel provided on a display screen of a display section, a pointer display section configured to detect a contact point in a touch operation on the touch panel and to display a pointer in an area containing the contact point, and a hotspot detection section configured to detect as a hotspot a position corresponding to one part of the pointer exclusive of the contact point.
Claims10
A pointer display device, comprising:
- a touch panel provided on a display screen of a display section;
- a pointer display section configured to detect a contact point in a touch operation on the touch panel and to display a pointer in an area containing the contact point;
- and
- a hotspot detection section configured to detect as a hotspot a position corresponding to one part of the pointer exclusive of the contact point.
A pointer display/detection method comprising the steps of:
- detecting by a detection section a touch point in a touch operation on a touch panel provided over a display screen of a display section;
- displaying a pointer in an area containing the contact point by a pointer display section and
- detecting as a hotspot a position corresponding to one part of the pointer exclusive of the touch point, by a hotspot detection section.
A pointer display/detection program for making a computer execute the steps of:
- detecting by detection section a touch point in a touch operation on a touch panel provided over a display screen of a display section;
- displaying a pointer in an area containing the contact point by pointer display section and
- detecting as a hotspot a position corresponding to one part of the pointer exclusive of the touch point, by a hotspot detection section.
Information apparatus, comprising:
- a display section;
- a touch panel provided over a display screen of the display section;
- a pointer display section configured to detect a contact point in a touch operation on the touch panel and to display a pointer in an area containing the contact point;
- and
- a hotspot detection section configured to detect as a hotspot a position corresponding to one part of the pointer exclusive of the contact point.
