Abstract
The display control device detects a pressing down of a one-shot media button arranged in a remote controller, receives a report on the detection of the pressing down of the one-shot media button and specifies a window associated with any one of moving picture reproducing applications, and changes the front-back order of the window so that the specified window is displayed on the frontmost surface on a display.
Claims16
A display control device running on a processor and having a display area management function to manage display areas displayed in a back-and-forth relation on a display device and a plurality of moving picture reproducing functions, said display control device comprising:
- a processor;
- a detecting unit using the processor to detect a predetermined operation conducted by use of an input device;
- a specifying unit to specify, in response to the predetermined operation that said detecting unit detects, an existing moving picture display area defined as a display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions on the basis of information acquired from the display area management function when there is at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproduction functions;
- a changing unit to change a back-and-forth order of the display areas so that the moving picture display area specified by said specifying unit is displayed on a foremost plane of said display device;
- and
- a startup unit to start up, when there is not at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions and the specifying unit does not specify the moving picture display area, any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions, and display a new moving picture display area that is linked to the moving picture reproducing function started up newly on the foremost plane of the display device.
A display control method by which a computer having a display area management function to manage display areas displayed in a back-and-forth relation on a display device and a plurality of moving picture reproducing functions, said display control method comprising:
- detecting a predetermined operation conducted by use of an input device;
- specifying, in response to the predetermined operation that is detected in said detecting, an existing moving picture display area defined as a display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions on the basis of information acquired from the display area management function when there is at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproduction functions;
- changing a back-and-forth order of the display areas so that the moving picture display area specified in said specifying is displayed on a foremost plane of said display device;
- and
- starting up, when there is not at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions and the specifying does not specify the moving picture display area, any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions, and display a new moving picture display area that is linked to the moving picture reproducing function started up newly on the foremost plane of the display device.
A readable-by-computer non-transitory recording medium recorded with a display control program to make a computer having a display area management function to manage display areas displayed in a back-and-forth relation on a display device and a plurality of moving picture reproducing functions perform the functions of:
- detecting a predetermined operation conducted by use of an input device;
- specifying, in response to the predetermined operation, an existing moving picture display area defined as a display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions on the basis of information acquired from the display area management function when there is at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproduction functions;
- changing a back-and-forth order of the display areas so that the moving picture display area is displayed on a foremost plane of said display device;
- and
- starting up, when there is not at least one display area linked to any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions and the specifying does not specify the moving picture display area, any one of the plurality of moving picture reproducing functions, and display a new moving picture display area that is linked to the moving picture reproducing function started up newly on the foremost plane of the display device.
