  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an information display device of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information display device 1 is an electronic dictionary, and includes a touch panel 10, a storage unit 20, and a control unit 30.

  The touch panel 10 displays a content screen 11 and a scroll bar 13 (shown in FIG. 4A). The screen 11 and the scroll bar 13 displayed on the touch panel 10 can be operated by touching the touch panel 10 with the pen 2. The structure of the touch panel 10 is the same as that of a conventionally known touch panel. For this reason, the description of the structure of the touch panel 10 is omitted.

  The storage unit 20 stores programs and data information for executing various functions. The storage unit 20 includes various content storage means 21, scroll bar operation mode storage means 22, and return page storage means 23 as an example of an initial screen storage means.

  The various content storage means 21 stores the contents C of the Japanese language dictionary, English-Japanese dictionary, Japanese-English dictionary, English reference book, and mathematical reference book (shown in FIG. 3A). These contents C are stored in the storage means 21 in advance or later.

  The scroll bar operation mode storage means 22 stores the operation mode of the scroll bar 13. The operation modes include a normal scroll mode 22a and a provisional scroll mode 22b described later.

  The control unit 30 includes a CPU (central processing), receives signals from the touch panel 10, the storage unit 20, and the like, performs various arithmetic processes, and outputs signals to the touch panel 10, the storage unit 20, and the like.

  The control unit 30 includes scroll means 31, provisional scroll mode setting means 32, provisional scroll means 33, provisional scroll mode release means 34, and color change means 35.

  These means 31 to 35 and the return page storage means 23 perform the operations shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B.

  The information display device 1 configured as described above operates as shown in FIG. 2A.

  First, when using the information display device 1, the user displays a menu screen on the touch panel 10 as shown in FIG. 3A. On this menu screen, a plurality of contents C are displayed as icons.

  Then, the user selects any one of the contents C on the menu screen with the pen (step S1), and the screen of the selected contents C is displayed on the touch panel 10 as shown in FIG. 3B. (Step S2). At this time, the scroll bar 13 is displayed on the touch panel 10 together with the content C screen.

  When the user touches the scroll bar 13 with a pen (step S3) and temporarily refers to another page (last screen) from the current page (initial screen), as shown in FIG. 4A, With the pen 2, the grip part 14 of the scroll bar 13 is long pressed without moving (step S11 in FIG. 2B). This long press is an example of a specific operation.

  Then, the temporary scroll mode setting unit 32 shifts the operation mode of the scroll bar 13 from the normal scroll mode 22a to the temporary scroll mode 22b (step S120).

  When the provisional scroll mode 22b is set, the return page storage means 23 temporarily stores a page number for specifying the current first page (initial screen 11) as a return page number (step S121). The return page number is an example of the initial screen specifying information, and is an address indicating the position of the page.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the color changing means 35 changes the color of the grip portion 14 as compared with the normal scroll mode 22a (step S122). Accordingly, the user can easily visually confirm the setting of the provisional scroll mode 22b without narrowing the display portion of the content.

  On the other hand, when the grip portion 14 is not pressed long (step S11), the normal scroll mode 22a is set (step S12). In the normal scroll mode 22a, the scroll means 31 performs a normal scroll to display the last screen by scrolling from the initial screen to the last screen of the content by the user's scroll operation.

  In the state where the provisional scroll mode 22b is set, as shown in FIG. 4C, the provisional scroll means 33 moves the grip part 14 by dragging the grip part 14 while touching the grip part 14 with the pen 2 (step S13). The page to be displayed is switched according to the amount, and the tenth page (last screen 12) of the reference destination is displayed (step S14).

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 5A, the user releases the pen 2 at the P1 position on the grip portion 14 of the scroll bar 13 (step S16).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the temporary scroll means 33 displays the original first page (initial screen 11) before scrolling based on the return page number stored in the return page storage means 23 ( Step S17).

  The provisional scroll mode setting means 32 is composed of steps S11 and S120, and the provisional scroll means 33 is composed of steps S14, S16, and S17.

  The operation mode of the scroll bar 13 returns from the provisional scroll mode 22b to the normal scroll mode 22a by the release of the pen 2.

  In this way, when the user wants to return to the initial screen 11 after scrolling and viewing the last screen 12, the temporary scroll means 33 allows the user to easily perform the initial screen 11 without performing a troublesome scrolling operation. You can return to

  Therefore, after confirming the reference destination page, the user can immediately return to the currently reading page and read the continuation. So-called page flickering becomes possible.

  Further, the return from the last screen 12 after scrolling to the initial screen 11 (provisional scroll by the provisional scroll means 33) and the maintenance of the display of the last screen 12 (normal scroll by the scroll means 31) can be freely selected, and the operability is improved. Will improve.

  On the other hand, when the temporary scroll mode 22b is set and the reference page 10 (last screen 12) is displayed, the user changes his mind and continues reading from the reference page 10. Sometimes you want to.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, the user drags the touch with the pen 2 on the scroll bar 13 from the P1 position on the grip portion 14 to the P2 position on the tenth page, and then at this P2 position. Release (step S16).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the provisional scroll mode canceling means 34 cancels the setting of the provisional scroll mode 22b and continues displaying the tenth page currently displayed (step S18).

  The temporary scroll mode canceling means 34 is composed of the steps S16 and S18.

  In this way, the display of the last screen 12 to be referred to can be continued with a simple operation without returning to the initial screen 11 as in the case of normal scroll (normal scroll mode 22a).

  Therefore, even if the provisional scroll mode setting 22b is set once and the provisional scroll means 33 performs the provisional scroll, when the feeling changes, the provisional scroll mode release means 34 makes the same state as the normal scroll, The last screen 12 can remain displayed.

  Thereafter, until the user stops viewing the current content C (step S4), the information display device 1 performs the operations of steps S2, S3, S11 to S18.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, the scroll bar 13 is moved to the provisional scroll mode 22b (flickering mode) by long-pressing, but the scroll bar 13 may be transitioned to the provisional scroll mode 22b by multi-touch. It does not matter if the scroll mode setting means 32 is a touch that can determine that the touch has changed from the previous touch.
