Abstract
An apparatus includes an operation unit, a movement amount correction unit, and a display control unit. The operation unit is configured to acquire a drag operation on a display unit. The movement amount correction unit is configured to increase a movement amount of the drag operation. The display control unit is configured to control the display unit according to the increased movement amount.
Claims7
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen configured to detect a drag operation of a user;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to
- control the display to display at least one of a plurality of home screens on which icons for starting up applications are arranged,
- determine, from the drag operation, a movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens so that a scroll amount of the displayed home screen is consistent with the movement amount of the drag operation, and
- control a scrolling among the plurality of home screens on the display based on the determined movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens such that at least a part of each of the two of the home screens is displayed simultaneously,
- wherein the processor is configured to cause the display to display simultaneously a first graphical representation indicating the plurality of home screens and a second graphical representation, the second graphical representation indicating a location of a home screen currently being displayed on the display relative to the plurality of home screens;
- and
- wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are displayed on the display to be smaller than and to be outside the home screen currently being displayed on the display.
A method performed using an information processing apparatus comprising a touch screen configured to detect a drag operation of a user, a display, and a processor, the method comprising:
- controlling the display to display at least one of a plurality of home screens on which icons for starting up applications are arranged,
- determining, from the drag operation, a movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens so that a scroll amount of the displayed home screen is consistent with the movement amount of the drag operation, and
- controlling a scrolling among the plurality of home screens on the display based on the determined movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens such that at least a part of each of the two of the home screens is displayed simultaneously,
- wherein the display displays simultaneously a first graphical representation indicating the plurality of home screens and a second graphical representation, the second graphical representation indicating a location of a home screen currently being displayed on the display relative to the plurality of home screens;
- and
- wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are displayed on the display to be smaller than and to be outside the home screen currently being displayed on the display.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed on an information processing apparatus comprising a touch screen configured to detect a drag operation of a user, a display, and a processor, control the information processing apparatus to perform a method comprising:
- controlling the display to display at least one of a plurality of home screens on which icons for starting up applications are arranged,
- determining, from the drag operation, a movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens so that a scroll amount of the displayed home screen is consistent with the movement amount of the drag operation, and
- controlling a scrolling among the plurality of home screens on the display based on the determined movement amount for switching among the plurality of home screens such that at least a part of each of the two of the home screens is displayed simultaneously,
- wherein the display displays simultaneously a first graphical representation indicating the plurality of home screens and a second graphical representation, the second graphical representation indicating a location of a home screen currently being displayed on the display relative to the plurality of home screens;
- and
- wherein the first graphical representation and the second graphical representation are displayed on the display to be smaller than and to be outside the home screen currently being displayed on the display.
