Abstract
An in-vehicle apparatus and a control method of an in-vehicle apparatus, which is applied to a multimedia terminal having, for example, a function of navigation equipment and a function of video playback so as to improve usability to a user in a case of accepting an operation through a touch panel and a remote commander. A touch panel menu screen suitable for an operation through a touch panel and a remote commander menu screen suitable for an operation through a remote commander are switched to be displayed so as to accept an operation by a user.
Claims27
A method performed by an information processing system, the method:
- displaying, on a touch-panel display of the information processing system, a first layout for touch panel operation and a second layout, which is different from the first layout, for a remote control operation;
- switching between the first layout and the second layout in response to an operation by a user, wherein
- in the first layout, menu options are displayed simultaneously and at least one of the menu options can be selected in response to an input received at the touch-panel display, and
- in the second layout, each of the menu options are switched on the touch-panel display in a predetermined sequence in response to a first remote control operation and the switched each of the menu options are configured to be selectable by both a second remote control operation and a touch operation at the touch panel display;
- and
- switching the touch-panel display from displaying the second layout to the first layout in response to a touch operation received at a portion of the touch-panel display other than a portion in which each of the menu options are displayed.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer-program instructions, which when executed by an information processing system, cause the information processing system to:
- display, on a touch-panel display, a first layout for touch panel operation and a second layout, which is different from the first layout, for a remote control operation;
- switch between the first layout and the second layout in response to an operation by a user, wherein
- in the first layout, menu options are displayed simultaneously and at least one of the menu options can be selected in response to an input received at the touch-panel display, and
- in the second layout, each of the menu options are switched on the touch-panel display in a predetermined sequence in response to a first remote control operation and the switched each of the menu options are configured to be selectable by both a second remote control operation and a touch operation at the touch panel display;
- and
- switch from displaying the second layout to displaying the first layout in response to a touch operation received at a portion of the touch-panel display other than a portion in which each of the menu options are displayed.
An information processing system comprising:
- circuitry configured to control a touch-panel display to switch, in response to an operation by a user, between displaying a first layout for touch panel operation and a second layout, which is different from the first layout, for remote control operation, wherein
- in the first layout, menu options are displayed simultaneously and one of the menu options can be selected in response to an input received at the touch-panel display,
- in the second layout, each of the menu options are switched on the touch-panel display in a predetermined sequence in response to a first remote control operation and the switched each of the menu options are configured to be selectable by both a second remote control operation and a touch operation at the touch panel display, and
- the circuitry is configured to control the touch-panel display to switch from displaying the second layout to displaying the first layout in response to a touch operation received at a portion of the touch-panel display other than a portion in which each of the menu options are displayed.
