Display control apparatus, display control method, display control signal generating apparatus, display control signal generating method, program, and display control system

A display control method comprising:

• moving a cursor position displayed on a display unit or scrolling a screen displayed on the display unit in accordance with a change amount of an indicated direction of a direction indicator;
• switching moving the cursor position and scrolling the screen;
• and
• reducing a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount after scrolling the screen is switched to moving the cursor position.

A program for causing a computer to execute:

• moving a cursor position displayed on a display unit or scrolling a screen displayed on the display unit in accordance with a change amount of an indicated direction of a direction indicator;
• switching moving the cursor position and scrolling the screen;
• and
• reducing a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount after scrolling the screen is switched to moving the cursor position.

A display control signal generating apparatus comprising:

• a detection unit configured to detect a change amount of an indicated direction;
• a generation unit configured to generate a display control signal that requests a cursor position displayed on a display unit to be moved or a display control signal that requests a screen displayed on the display unit to be scrolled in accordance with the change amount detected by the detection unit;
• and
• a switching control unit configured to switch the generation unit generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved and the generation unit generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled,
• wherein, after the switching control unit switches the generation unit generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled to the generation unit generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved, the generation unit generates a display control signal in which a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount is reduced.

A display control signal generating method comprising:

• detecting a change amount of an indicated direction;
• generating a display control signal that requests a cursor position displayed on a display unit to be moved or a display control signal that requests a screen displayed on the display unit to be scrolled in accordance with the detected change amount;
• switching generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved and generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled;
• and
• generating a display control signal in which a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount is reduced after generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled is switched to generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved.

A program for causing a computer to execute:

• detecting a change amount of an indicated direction;
• generating a display control signal that requests a cursor position displayed on a display unit to be moved or a display control signal that requests a screen displayed on the display unit to be scrolled in accordance with the detected change amount;
• switching generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved and generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled;
• and
• generating a display control signal in which a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount is reduced after generating the display control signal that requests the screen to be scrolled is switched to generating the display control signal that requests the cursor position to be moved.

A display control system comprising:

• a detection unit configured to detect a change amount of an indicated direction;
• a display control unit configured to move a cursor position displayed on a display unit or to scroll a screen displayed on the display unit in accordance with the change amount detected by the detection unit;
• and
• a switching control unit configured to switch the display control unit moving the cursor position and the display control unit scrolling the screen,
• wherein, after the switching control unit switches the display control unit scrolling the screen to the display control unit moving the cursor position, the display control unit reduces a movement amount of the cursor position with respect to the change amount.
