Abstract
An information processing terminal displays a layout drawing that indicates a layout of targets on a display screen on a display unit. The information processing terminal includes a calculator that calculates an angle formed by one edge of borderlines in the layout drawing and one edge of the display screen and also has a display controller that rotates the layout drawing through the calculated angle so that the one edge of the borderlines in the layout drawing is made parallel to the one edge of the display screen and displays the rotated layout drawing on the display unit.
Claims16
A display control method that displays a computerized floor plan for controlling of target devices displayed on the computerized floor plan on a display screen of an information processing terminal, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor, an orientation direction of the information processing terminal, with respect to a layout of a building corresponding to the computerized floor plan;
- calculating, by a processor, an angle formed by an edge of a borderline in the computerized floor plan and an edge of the display screen based on the orientation direction of the information processing terminal;
- rotating, by the processor, the computerized floor plan based on the angle calculated so that the edge of the borderline in the computerized floor plan is made parallel to the edge of the display screen;
- and
- displaying, on the display screen, the computerized floor plan that has been rotated such that the computerized floor plan is displayed parallel with the orientation direction of the information processing terminal.
A non-temporary recording medium in which a display control program is recorded, the display control program displaying a computerized floor plan for controlling of target devices displayed on the computerized floor plan on a display screen of an information processing terminal, wherein the display control program causes a computer in the information processing terminal to
- detect, using a sensor, an orientation direction of the information processing terminal, with respect to a layout of a building corresponding to the computerized floor plan;
- calculate, using a processor, an angle formed by an edge of a borderline in the computerized floor plan and an edge of the display screen based on the orientation direction of the information processing terminal,
- rotate, using the processor, the computerized floor plan through the angle calculated so that the edge of the borderline in the computerized floor plan is made parallel to the edge of the display screen, and
- display, on the display screen, the computerized floor plan that has been rotated such that the computerized floor plan is displayed parallel with the orientation direction of the information processing terminal.
An information processing terminal that displays a computerized floor plan for controlling of target devices displayed on the computerized floor plan on a display screen, the terminal comprising:
- a sensor that detects an orientation direction of the information processing terminal, with respect to a layout of a building corresponding to the computerized floor plan;
- a display having the display screen;
- and
- a processor that calculates an angle formed by an edge of a borderline in the computerized floor plan and an edge of the display screen, and
- rotates the computerized floor plan through the angle calculated so that the edge of the borderline in the computerized floor plan is made parallel to the edge of the display screen, wherein
- the display displays the computerized floor plan that has been rotated such that the computerized floor plan is displayed parallel with the orientation direction of the information processing terminal.
