Description

  The present invention relates to a display device, a display method, a program, and a recording medium.

  Various techniques related to the present invention are known (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 4).

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a mobile phone having a bookmark function capable of storing URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) of a plurality of sites on the Internet. More specifically, this mobile phone displays a selection screen for selecting an arbitrary URL from URLs registered in the bookmark, and holds the URL selected by the user as a specific URL. When the specific key is operated, if there is a URL held as a specific URL, this mobile phone extracts only the URL from the bookmark and displays it. In addition, when there is no URL held as a specific URL, this mobile phone displays several URLs registered in the bookmark recently. When the specific key is operated, this mobile phone displays a predetermined message when at least one URL is not registered in the bookmark. In this way, depending on the mobile phone, the user can display only a specific URL only by operating a specific key.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 2 describes a communication terminal device such as a mobile communication terminal that can display information acquired from another terminal device via a communication line. More specifically, this communication terminal device stores information acquired via a communication line. The communication terminal device generates a link list in which information other than the link information is deleted when the information acquired via the communication line includes link information for calling related information. At this time, the communication terminal apparatus generates a link list so that the link list does not include link information to information that can be read and displayed by operation. And this communication terminal device displays a link list. In this way, depending on the communication terminal device, the user of the wireless communication device can easily refer to the link information, and the link information can be displayed in a short manner, so that the link information can be easily searched. It becomes.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 3 describes a method for controlling a portable information terminal including a touch screen provided on the front surface of a display unit. More specifically, the control method of the portable information terminal determines whether or not the touch screen is operated in a special operation mode. And the control method of this portable information terminal specifies the position where operation was performed with respect to the touch screen. And when the control method of this portable information terminal judges that it was operated by the special operation mode, the display mode of the part of the display unit corresponding to the operation position with respect to the touch screen is changed over the entire display unit. Convert the corresponding display contents. In this case, the control method of the portable information terminal realizes conversion of the display content by shifting the display content of the display unit as a whole by at least a dimension assumed to be the width of a human finger. And this control method of a personal digital assistant will shift a display content to the direction of a predetermined other side, if a position where operation was performed is specified as a predetermined one side field in a touch screen. In addition, when the position where the operation is performed is specified as a predetermined other-side region, the control method of the portable information terminal shifts the display content in the predetermined one-side direction. And the control method of this portable information terminal shifts the display contents in a state where predetermined information is displayed at a position where an operation according to a special operation mode is started. In this way, depending on the control method of the portable information terminal, the user can reliably operate a desired location on the touch screen.

  Further, for example, Patent Document 4 describes a terminal device that can easily perform function selection, function execution, and the like by effectively combining a touch screen operation and a vibration operation of a display unit or a terminal device. . More specifically, this terminal device detects a touch operation on a display unit on which a display object is displayed. And this terminal device discriminate | determines the display object used as the object of the detected contact operation. The terminal device detects the movement of the display means or the terminal device itself. Then, when a movement is detected, the terminal device selects processing content corresponding to the determined display object. In this way, depending on the terminal device, it is possible to select a desired display object by effectively combining the touch operation on the display unit and the vibration or tilting operation of the display unit or the terminal device. Can be easily selected.
