Abstract
An information display apparatus including: a tilt detection unit that detects a basic position of a casing and detects a tilt from the basic position of the casing; a display unit that is mounted on the casing and displays information on a display screen; a touch detection unit that is mounted on the casing and detects a touch of an operating body on the casing; and a control unit that after movement of information displayed on the display screen of the display unit is started based on the tilt of the casing detected by the tilt detection unit and when a touch of an operating body is detected by the touch detection unit, stops the movement of the information displayed on the display screen.
Claims11
An information display apparatus configured to display information in a plurality of modes comprising a scroll mode and a drag mode, the information display apparatus comprising:
- a tilt detection unit configured to detect a basic position of a casing and to detect a tilt from the basic position of the casing;
- a display unit, mounted on the casing, configured to display information on a display screen;
- a touch detection unit, mounted on the casing, configured to detect a touch of an operating body on the casing;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- initiate presentation of the information in the scroll mode by starting movement of the information based at least in part on a flick motion detected by the touch detection unit and/or the tilt of the casing detected by the tilt detection unit;
- and
- in response to detecting the touch of the operating body on the casing when the information is being presented in the scroll mode:
- stop movement of the information displayed on the display screen, and
- initiate presentation of the information in the drag mode by causing the information displayed on the display screen to be dragged in accordance with a change in a position of the operating body, when the change in the position of the operating body is detected by the touch detection unit.
An information display apparatus configured to display information in a plurality of modes comprising a scroll mode and a drag mode, the information display apparatus comprising:
- a tilt detection unit configured to detect a basic position of a casing and to detect a tilt from the basic position of the casing;
- a display unit, mounted on the casing, configured to display information on a display screen;
- a touch detection unit, mounted on the casing, configured to detect a touch of an operating body on the casing;
- a pressure detection unit, mounted on the casing, configured to detect a pressure value of an operating body on the casing;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- initiate presentation of the information in the scroll mode by starting movement of the information based at least in part on a flick motion detected by the touch detection unit and/or the tilt of the casing detected by the tilt detection unit;
- and
- in response to detecting that the pressure value exceeds a predetermined threshold when the information is being presented in the scroll mode:
- stop movement of the information displayed on the display screen, and
- initiate presentation of the information in the drag mode by causing the information displayed on the display screen to be dragged in accordance with a change in a position of the operating body, when the change in the position of the operating body is detected by the touch detection unit.
An information display method, comprising:
- detecting a basic position of a casing and detecting a tilt from the basic position of the casing;
- initiating presentation of information on a display screen of a display unit mounted on the casing in a scroll mode by starting movement of the information based at least in part on a flick motion and/or the tilt of the casing;
- in response to detecting a touch of an operating body on the casing when the information is being presented in the scroll mode:
- stopping the movement of the information displayed on the display screen;
- and
- initiating presentation of the information in a drag mode by causing the information displayed on the display screen to be dragged in accordance with the change in the position of the operating body.
A computer memory storing a program, that when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute a process comprising:
- detecting a basic position of a casing and detecting a tilt from the basic position of the casing;
- initiating presentation of information on a display screen of a display unit mounted on the casing in a scroll mode by starting movement of the information based at least in part on a flick motion and/or the tilt of the casing;
- in response to detecting a touch of an operating body on the casing when the information is being presented in the scroll mode:
- stopping the movement of the information displayed on the display screen;
- and
- initiating presentation of the information in a drag mode by causing the information displayed on the display screen to be dragged in accordance with the change in the position of the operating body.
