Display control apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

A display control apparatus comprising:

• an operation unit configured to receive a scrolling operation for scrolling a displaying object that is displayed on a predetermined display area of a bendable display unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to control to scroll the displaying object according to the scrolling operation so that the displaying object scrolls in a first direction until an end of the displaying object in the first direction moves to a first position in response to a termination of the scrolling operation after the displaying object is scrolled until the end of the displaying object in the first direction moves beyond the first position in a second direction opposite to the first direction within the predetermined display area during the scrolling operation in a case where the bendable display unit is in a first shape, and
• to control to scroll the displaying object according to the scrolling operation so that the displaying object scrolls in the first direction until the end of the displaying object in the first direction moves to a second position that shifts from the first position in the second direction within the predetermined display area in response to a termination of the scrolling operation after the displaying object is scrolled until the end of the displaying object in the first direction moves to the second position during the scroll operation in a case where the bendable display unit is in a second shape of which a bending degree is larger than that of the first shape.

A control method for a display control apparatus, the control method comprising:

• an operation step of receiving a scrolling operation for scrolling a displaying object that is displayed on a predetermined display area of a bendable display unit;
• a first control step of controlling to scroll the displaying object according to the scrolling operation so that an end of the displaying object in a first direction does not scroll beyond a first position in a second direction opposite to the first direction within the predetermined display area in a case where the bendable display unit is in a first shape;
• and
• a second control step of controlling to scroll the displaying object according to the scrolling operation so that the end of the displaying object in the first direction is able to scroll beyond the first position in the second direction in a case where the bendable display unit is in a second shape of which a bending degree is larger than that of the first shape.
