Display control device, display control method and program

A display control method of a display control device equipped with a display unit for displaying data on a screen, comprising the steps of:

• detecting proximity of an indicator to the screen and outputting a proximity detection signal;
• magnifying and displaying, on the basis of the proximity detection signal, a predetermined range around a proximity corresponding position or a position away from the proximity corresponding position by an approximately predetermined distance from among the data displayed on the screen, wherein the proximity corresponding position is a position on the screen corresponding to the position of the indicator whose proximity was detected;
• detecting the contact of the indicator to the screen and outputting a contact detection signal;
• fixing the magnified display of the predetermined range on the basis of the contact detection signal depending on the contact operation of the indicator to the predetermined range;
• and
• unchanging the display position of the magnified predetermined range depending on the movement operation of the indicator on the screen.

A program for executing a method for a computer serving as a display control device equipped with a display unit for displaying data on a screen, comprising the steps of:

• detecting proximity of an indicator to the screen and outputting a proximity detection signal;
• magnifying and displaying, on the basis of the proximity detection signal, a predetermined range around a proximity corresponding position or a position away from the proximity corresponding position by an approximately predetermined distance from among the data displayed on the screen, wherein the proximity corresponding position is a position on the screen corresponding to the position of the indicator whose proximity was detected;
• detecting the contact of the indicator to the screen and outputting a contact detection signal;
• fixing the magnified display of the predetermined range on the basis of the contact detection signal depending on the contact operation of the indicator to the predetermined range;
• and
• unchanging the display position of the magnified predetermined range depending on the movement operation of the indicator on the screen.
