Abstract
A display area is provided on a front face of an apparatus case of a portable apparatus. An operation detection module detects an operation performed with an operating finger on the display area. A first detection module detects a contact location of a holding finger holding the apparatus case. A second detection module detects a tilt angle of the housing with respect to a reference position of the housing. If the processor detects a change in the contact location, and the second detection module detects a change in the tilt angle of the housing, a at least one processor translates a display screen in a direction away from the contact location, and displays the display screen in the display area.
Claims19
A portable apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a display area located on a front face of the housing;
- an operation detection module configured to detect an operation performed with an operating finger on the display area;
- at least one first detection module configured to detect a contact location of a holding finger holding the housing;
- a second detection module configured to detect a tilt angle of the housing with respect to a reference position of the housing;
- and
- at least one processor configured to translate, if the processor detects a change in the contact location, and the second detection module detects a change in the tilt angle of the housing, a display screen in a direction away from the contact location, and display the display screen in the display area.
A portable apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a display area located on a front face of the housing;
- a storage module configured to store a plurality of application programs;
- a detection module configured to detect an input by a user;
- and
- at least one processor configured to display a portion of a first display screen in a main area being a portion of the display area, and display a portion of a second display screen in a sub area being a portion of the display area other than the main area, the first display screen being displayed in the display area when a first application program is run, the second display screen being displayed in the display area when a second application program different from the first application program is run.
A method for controlling a portable apparatus comprising:
- displaying a display screen in a display area on the front face of a housing of the portable apparatus;
- detecting a contact location of a holding finger holding the housing;
- detecting a tilt angle of housing;
- and
- translating, if a change in the contact location and a change in the tilt angle of the housing are both detected, the display screen in a direction away from the contact location, and displaying the display screen in the display area.
