Abstract
An information processing apparatus, method and computer program product are described. At least the apparatus includes comprising a display control device that controls a display of a lock release screen that has displayed thereon a manipulation object and a target object. A manipulation detection device detects a lock release manipulation as a detected moving of the manipulation object toward the target object. The display control device changes an appearance of the target object in response to the manipulation detection device detecting the moving of the manipulation object toward the target object.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- control a display of a lock release screen that includes a manipulation object and a target object;
- and
- detect a lock release manipulation as a detected pressing manipulation of the manipulation object;
- change a display size of the manipulation object or the target object in response to the detecting of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object on an unchanging position of a display displaying the lock release screen such that the display size of the manipulation object or the target object is changed without movement of the manipulation object and the target object as a pressure level of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object is increased;
- and
- change a state of the information processing apparatus to an unlock state when, without movement of the manipulation object and the target object, the display size of the manipulation object is changed to reach the target object or when the display size of the target object is changed to reach the manipulation object.
A display control method comprising:
- controlling, by an information processing apparatus, display of a lock release screen including a manipulation object and a target object displayed thereon;
- detecting, by the information processing apparatus, a lock release manipulation as a detected pressing manipulation of the manipulation object on the lock release screen;
- changing, by the information processing apparatus, a display size of the manipulation object or the target object in response to the detecting of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object on an unchanging position of a display displaying the lock release screen such that the display size of the manipulation object or the target object is changed without movement of the manipulation object and the target object as a pressure level of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object is increased;
- and
- changing, by the information processing apparatus, a state of the information processing apparatus to an unlock state when, without movement of the manipulation object and the target object, the display size of the manipulation object is changed to reach the target object or when the display size of the target object is changed to reach the manipulation object.
A non-transitory computer program product having stored thereon computer readable instructions that when executed by a processor perform a display control method comprising:
- controlling, by an information processing apparatus, display of a lock release screen including a manipulation object and a target object displayed thereon;
- detecting, by the information processing apparatus, a lock release manipulation as a detected pressing manipulation of the manipulation object on the lock release screen;
- changing, by the information processing apparatus, a display size of the manipulation object or the target object in response to the detecting of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object on an unchanging position of a display displaying the lock release screen such that the display size of the manipulation object or the target object is changed without movement of the manipulation object and the target object as a pressure level of the pressing manipulation of the manipulation object is increased;
- and
- changing, by the information processing apparatus, a state of the information processing apparatus to an unlock state when, without movement of the manipulation object and the target object, the display size of the manipulation object is changed to reach the target object or when the display size of the target object is changed to reach the manipulation object.
