Abstract
The operability is improved according to a use form without complicating a detection mechanism of a display device. A display device (1) according to the present invention includes: a use form determining unit (55) that determines a holding form based on a touch position of a touch operation for an end face (A or B) of a casing (17) and determines an attended area that is an area of the display area (P) attended by a user for a touch operation; and a display control unit (54) that changes a display mode of a screen to be displayed on the display area based on the holding form and the attended area.
Claims10
A display device comprising:
- a display member;
- an operation detecting member that is superimposed on the display member;
- a casing in which the display member and the operation detecting member are stored;
- the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for a display area of the display member, and a part of the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for an end face of the casing other than the display area,
- a use form determining unit that determines a holding form based on a touch position of the touch operation for the end face, which is detected by the operation detecting member and determines an attended area that is an area of the display area attended by a user for a touch operation;
- and
- a display control unit that changes a display mode of a screen to be displayed on the display member based on the holding form and the attended area determined by the use form determining unit;
- wherein the end face is an outer surface;
- and
- wherein a shortest distance between the operation detecting member and the outer surface is less than or equal to a maximum detectable distance in which the touch operation for the outer surface is detectable by the operation detecting member.

A display device comprising:
- a display member;
- an operation detecting member that is superimposed on the display member;
- a casing in which the display member and the operation detecting member are stored;
- the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for a display area of the display member, and a part of the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for an end face of the casing other than the display area,
- a storage member that stores positions of touchable areas in which, for one or more objects included on a screen displayed on the display member, touch operations for the objects can be received;
- a use form determining unit that determines a holding form based on the touch position of the touch operation for the end face that is detected by the operation detecting member;
- and
- a touchable area correcting unit that corrects the positions of the touchable areas of the objects stored in the storage member based on the holding form determined by the use form determining unit;
- wherein the end face is an outer surface;
- and
- wherein a shortest distance between the operation detecting member and the outer surface is less than or equal to a maximum detectable distance in which the touch operation for the outer surface is detectable by the operation detecting member.

A touch-operation processing method executed by a display device including:
- a display member;
- an operation detecting member that is superimposed on the display member;
- and a casing in which the display member and the operation detecting member are stored, the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for a display area of the display member, and a part of the operation detecting member detecting a touch operation for an end face of the casing other than the display area, the touch-operation processing method comprising:
- determining a holding form based on a touch position of the touch operation for the end face, which is detected by the operation detecting member, and determining an attended area of the display area that is an area of the display area attended by a user for the touch operation;
- and
- changing a display mode of a screen to be displayed on the display member based on the holding form and the attended area determined in the determining of a holding form and an attended area;
- wherein the end face is an outer surface;
- and
- wherein a shortest distance between the operation detecting member and the outer surface is less than or equal to a maximum detectable distance in which the touch operation for the outer surface is detectable by the operation detecting member.
