Abstract
A control device for an electronic apparatus including a touch panel display, in which it receives touch operations by setting a predetermined area as a touch area, a display size of an object displayed on the touch panel display is changed by setting a plurality of expanding touch areas as operations with respect to a function of expansion and contraction, and touch-operating intervals of the plurality of expanding touch areas, and the display position of the touch area is changed so as to widen the intervals when a touch operation for narrowing the intervals between the plurality of expanding touch areas more than a predetermined amount is performed.
Claims11
A control device for an electronic apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel display,
- wherein it receives touch operations by setting a predetermined area as a touch area,
- a display size of an object displayed on the touch panel display is changed by setting a plurality of touch areas and changing interval of the plurality of touch areas by touch operation as operation with respect to a function of expansion and contraction, and
- a display position of the touch area is changed so as to widen the intervals when a touch operation for narrowing the intervals between the plurality of touch areas more than a predetermined amount is performed.
A control method for an electronic apparatus which is provided with a touch panel display and which receives touch operation by setting a predetermined area as a touch area, the electronic apparatus changing a display size of an object displayed on the touch panel display by setting a plurality of touch areas and changing interval of the plurality of touch areas by touch operation as operation with respect to a function of expansion and contraction, the method comprising:
- receiving an operation for changing the intervals of the plurality of touch areas;
- determining whether a touch operation is a touch operation for narrowing the intervals of the plurality of touch area more than a predetermined amount;
- and
- changing a display position of the touch area such that the intervals of the touch areas are widened when it is determined that the touch operation is a touch operation for narrowing the intervals of the plurality of touch area more than a predetermined amount.
