Description

  The present invention relates to an information display device, an information display method, an information display program, and a program recording medium capable of changing a scroll amount when scrolling displayed content.

  Conventionally, as this type of information display device, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-202176 (Patent Document 1).

  In this conventional information display device, when a part of all data displayed on the display unit is scrolled according to an operation on the dragger of the scroll bar, the CPU (central processing unit) is used to scroll the screen. When the operation of the dragger in a specific direction different from the normal operation direction is detected, the sub scroll bar is displayed separately from the scroll bar. When the sub dragger of the sub scroll bar is operated in the normal operation direction, the scroll amount of the screen is scrolled by a scroll amount different from the normal operation for the dragger.

  However, if the operator does not know or forgets the operation direction (the specific direction) for the dragger for changing the scroll amount of the screen, the scroll amount of the screen cannot be changed. There's a problem. In particular, it is very difficult for the operator to find the specific direction when the specific direction is a direction far from the direction along the scroll bar, which is an operation direction for scrolling the screen. is there.

  Furthermore, since the sub scroll bar is displayed separately from the scroll bar, there is a problem that the display area of the image on the display unit becomes narrow and the scroll operation becomes confusing. This problem is particularly noticeable when the information display device is a portable information device.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

-1st Embodiment 1st Embodiment is embodiment corresponding to Claim 1 and Claim 2. FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of a scroll device mounted on the information display device of the first embodiment. For example, the scroll device 1 is mounted on a portable information device such as a touch panel mobile phone or a tablet terminal represented by a smartphone (product name).

  The scroll device 1 includes a display scroll control unit 2, an operation control unit 3, a storage unit 4, and a touch panel 5.

  The storage unit 4 stores various information including content and information for scrolling the displayed content. The touch panel 5 has a display function and an input function. For example, a display device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel and a transparent position input device are stacked, and the display content of the display device is displayed. It is visible through the position input device.

  The operation control unit 3 interprets an operation input from the touch panel 5, converts the operation input into an operation instruction corresponding to the operation input, and sends the operation instruction to the display scroll control unit 2. Then, in accordance with the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, the display scroll control unit 2 displays the content, the display operation of the scroll bar operated when scrolling the displayed content, and the scroll of the displayed content. Control operations are performed.

  The display scroll control unit 2 includes a content display unit 6, a scroll bar display unit 7, a scroll bar display change unit 8, a scroll control unit 9, and a specific information adding unit 10.

  The content display unit 6 displays the content stored in the storage unit 4 on the touch panel 5. The scroll bar display unit 7 includes a grip that can be moved along the scroll bar for scrolling the displayed content on the touch panel 5 by the first unit scroll amount. Is displayed. When the user presses and holds the grip of the scroll bar for a long time, the scroll bar display changing unit 8 changes the display content of the scroll bar to a second display different from the first display content, as will be described in detail later. Change to content.

  When the grip is displayed with the first display content and the user operates the grip along the scroll bar, the scroll control unit 9 displays the displayed content as the first unit. Scrolling is performed with a scroll amount (that is, a first scroll amount preset for the unit movement amount of the grip). On the other hand, when the grip is displayed with the second display content, when the user operates the grip along the scroll bar, specific information that details the content is given later. Scroll every page.

  The specific information adding unit 10 adds specific information such as “marker”, “bookmark”, and “word book registration” to the display content in response to a user operation on the touch panel 5.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the storage area of the storage unit 4. The storage unit 4 includes a content storage area 4a, a scroll mode storage area 4b, a scroll range amount storage area 4c, a grip position maximum value storage area 4d, and a specific information position storage area 4e.

  The content storage area 4a stores electronic data of contents such as a plurality of dictionaries, for example. In the scroll mode storage area 4b, the scroll mode to be set is a normal mode (the above-mentioned first unit scroll amount) in which the content displayed on the touch panel 5 (hereinafter referred to as display content) is scrolled by the preset first unit scroll amount. Or the main point display mode (corresponding to the second method) for scrolling each page to which the specific information is assigned.

  In the scroll range amount storage area 4c, the first unit scroll amount is stored as the number of scroll pages of display content per display dot, which is the unit movement amount of the grip. In the grip position maximum value storage area 4d, the last page number of the display content is stored as the maximum value of the grip position. In the specific information position storage area 4e, the content of the specific information added by the specific information adding unit 10 is stored in association with the added page.

  Here, the specific hardware configuration of the scroll device having the above-described functional configuration includes a program memory for storing various programs including programs for executing various processes to be described later, a data memory for storing various information, a communication such as the Internet, etc. Communication I / F for connecting to a network, input device, output device, display device, external auxiliary storage device for accessing and accessing this external recording medium, program memory, data memory, communication I / F, input It comprises a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that controls the device, output device, display device, external auxiliary storage device, etc., and executes the determination of input characters and presentation information.

  That is, the display scroll control unit 2 and the operation control unit 3 are configured by the CPU, the storage unit 4 is configured by the data memory and the external auxiliary storage device, and the touch panel 5 is configured by the display device and the input device. It is. Further, the CPU performs various processing operations such as calculation / judgment processing, timing processing, and input / output processing in addition to the processing operations according to the present embodiment by the respective units 2 to 5 described above. .

  Hereinafter, the display scroll control processing operation performed based on the control of the display scroll control unit 2 will be described. In the following description, the content is assumed to be various dictionaries and reference books. Further, it is assumed that the specific information position storage area 4e of the storage unit 4 stores the content of the specific information previously given by the specific information giving unit 10 in association with the given page.

  FIG. 3A schematically shows the stored contents of the specific information position storage area 4e. In the specific information position storage area 4e, the contents of the specific information “word book registration”, “marker”, “bookmark” and the assigned page number are stored in association with each other. In FIG. 3A, the specific information position of only the display content is stored, but the specific information position of all the contents stored in the content storage area 4a may be stored. For example, in the former case, each time the specific information adding unit 10 adds the specific information, the specific information is directly added to the content. When the display content is selected, the content information is stored in the content storage area 4a. The specific information and the additional page are read from the stored selected content and written in the specific information position storage area 4e. In the latter case, a storage area for all contents is secured in the specific information position storage area 4e in advance, and the specific information position storage area 4e every time the specific information adding unit 10 adds the specific information. What is necessary is just to update the memory | storage information of the content to which the said specific information was provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, only one type of specific information is given to one page of content. However, even if multiple types of specific information are given, there is no problem. .

  FIG. 3B shows a display example of the scroll bar 12. The scroll bar 12a indicates a state where the first display content is displayed in the normal mode. On the other hand, the scroll bar 12b shows a state where the second display content is displayed in the main point display mode. Here, the difference between the first display content and the second display content is in the color difference between the grip 13a of the scroll bar 12a and the grip 13b of the scroll bar 12b.

  In the case of the scroll bar 12a in the normal mode, when the grip 13a is moved from the minimum value to the maximum value of the grip position, the contents are sequentially scrolled from the minimum page p1 to the maximum page p5 (first scroll method). ). On the other hand, in the case of the scroll bar 12b in the main point display mode, when the grip 13b is moved from the minimum value to the maximum value of the grip position, the content is given the specific information from the minimum page p1 to the page p4. The page is scrolled every second page (second scroll method). Therefore, the user can know the set scroll mode and scroll method according to the color of the grip 13.

  4 and 5 are flowcharts of the display scroll control processing operation. When the operator operates the touch panel 5 from the operation control unit 3 to the display scroll control unit 2 and inputs an operation instruction indicating that content display is instructed, the display scroll control processing operation starts.

  In step S1, the stored contents of the scroll mode storage area 4b, scroll range amount storage area 4c, and grip position maximum value storage area 4d in the storage unit 4 are cleared. In step S2, a content selection menu screen is displayed on the display screen 14 of the touch panel 5, as illustrated in FIG. In step S3, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not content has been selected from the menu screen. As a result, if selected, the process proceeds to step S4, and if not selected, the present display scroll control processing operation is terminated.

  In step S4, the last page number of the content of the information attached to the selected content is read from the content storage area 4a of the storage unit 4 and stored in the grip position maximum value storage area 4d of the storage unit 4. Remembered.

  In step S5, the scroll range amount is calculated and stored in the scroll range amount storage area 4c of the storage unit 4 as the first unit scroll amount. Here, the scroll range amount (first unit scroll amount) is calculated as follows.

That is, the maximum grip position value “P (last page number of display content)” is read from the grip position maximum value storage area 4 d of the storage unit 4. In addition, the grip maximum movement amount that represents the maximum movement amount of the grip in the scroll bar displayed together with the content on the display screen 14 by the number of dots on the display screen 14 is “L (dot)”. The scroll range amount SCL indicating the number of scroll pages of the display content per display dot of the grip is expressed by the following formula:
SCL = P / L
Calculated by

  For example, if the last page number P of the display content is 2000 pages and the grip maximum movement amount L is 600 dots, SCL = 2000 / 600≈3.3 pages / dot is calculated.

  In step S6, the “normal mode” is stored in the scroll mode storage area 4b of the storage unit 4, and the scroll mode is set to the “normal mode”.

  In step S7, the content display unit 6 reads out the selected content from the content storage area 4a of the storage unit 4 and displays it on the display screen 14 of the touch panel 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the scroll bar display unit 7 moves the displayed content 15 along the lower side of the display screen 14 on which the content 15 is displayed, to the first unit scroll amount (scroll range amount SCL). The scroll bar 12a for scrolling is displayed with the first display content including the grip 13a that can move on the scroll bar 12a. Here, the first display content is to set the color of the grip 13a to a preset color.

  In step S8, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not the scroll bar 12a is touched with a pen or the like. As a result, if it is touched, the process proceeds to step S9, and if not, the process proceeds to step S18. In step S9, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not the grip 13a on the scroll bar 12a has been pressed for a long time without being moved. As a result, if the button is held down, the process proceeds to step S10, and if not, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S10, the scroll bar display changing unit 8 assigns the specific information to the displayed content 15 from the scroll bar 12a displayed along the lower side of the display screen 14, as shown in FIG. The scroll bar 12b and the grip 13b in the second display content for scrolling each page are changed. Here, the second display content is that the color of the grip 13b is set in advance so as to be different from the color of the grip 13a. In step S11, the storage content of the scroll mode storage area 4b is updated from the “normal mode” to the “main point display mode”, and the scroll mode is set to the “main point display mode”.

  In step S12, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not the displayed grip 13 of the scroll bar 12 has been dragged on the scroll bar 12. As a result, if dragged, the process proceeds to step S13, and if not, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S13, the contents of the scroll mode storage area 4b are referred to and it is determined whether or not the scroll mode is the “main point display mode”. As a result, if it is the “main point display mode”, the process proceeds to step S14; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S14, the display content 15 is scrolled by the scroll control unit 9 in accordance with the second scroll method in which the display information 15 is scrolled for each page to which the specific information is given according to the drag amount of the grip 13b. In that case, pages to which the specific information is not given are skipped. After that, the process returns to step S12 to determine whether or not there is a drag. In this way, the user indicates “word book registration” indicating that the word has been registered in the word book, “bookmark” indicating the word that has been examined once in the past, or an important word. By adding the specific information such as “marker” or “memo writing” indicating supplementary explanation, only the page to which the specific information is added can be displayed.

  Therefore, it is possible to search for a page in which a word judged to be important in the past is described in a short time and to display it again, which is effective at the time of learning.

  In step S15, since the scroll mode is “normal mode” by the scroll control unit 9, the display content 15 is sequentially scrolled from the page at the drag start position in accordance with the drag amount and drag speed of the grip 13a. Scrolling is performed by the first scroll method. The unit scroll amount in this case is the scroll range amount SCL stored in the scroll range amount storage area 4c of the storage unit 4. Therefore, the scroll amount is the “number of moving dots of grip 13a × SCL” page. After that, the process returns to step S12 to determine whether or not there is a drag. Therefore, when the user searches for a word to which the specific information is not given, for example, in the case of a page that has nothing to do with the target word, the drag speed of the grip 13a is increased to increase the scroll speed. Even content with a large number of pages can be efficiently searched for words.

  Thus, if it is determined in step S12 that the grip 13 is not dragged, the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S16, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not the pen has left the scroll bar 12. As a result, if it is away, the process proceeds to step S17, and if not, the process returns to step S9 to determine whether or not the grip 13 is pressed long. In step S17, “normal mode” is stored in the scroll mode storage area 4b, and the scroll mode is set to “normal mode”.

  In step S18, it is determined whether or not the user stops browsing the display content. As a result, if the browsing is not stopped, the process returns to step S7 to continue displaying the current display content. On the other hand, when the viewing is stopped, the display scroll control processing operation is terminated.

  Here, the determination as to whether or not to stop browsing the display content is made, for example, after it is determined that the scroll bar 12 is not touched in step S8 by the time counting function of the CPU, or the scroll mode is set in step S17. This is performed by determining that browsing is to be stopped when the elapsed time since the “normal mode” is set reaches a preset set time. Alternatively, the user performs an indication of intention to stop browsing by operating a button provided on the touch panel 5.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the scroll bar display unit 7 of the display scroll control unit 2 grips the scroll bar 12a for causing the touch panel 5 to scroll the display content by the first unit scroll amount. 13a is displayed with the first display content. When the user presses and holds the grip 13a of the scroll bar 12a, the scroll bar display changing unit 8 changes the display content of the scroll bar 12 to the second display content (scroll) different from the first display content. Bar 12b, grip 13b).

  When the user operates the grip 13a displayed with the first display content, the scroll control unit 9 of the display scroll control unit 2 sequentially scrolls the display content by the first unit scroll amount. Scroll by scroll method. On the other hand, when the user operates the grip 13b displayed with the second display content, the display content is scrolled by the second scroll method that scrolls for each page to which the specific information is added. Yes.

  Therefore, the scroll method can be changed by a simple operation of long pressing the grip 13a of the scroll bar 12a. In this case, “long press of the grip 13” is an operation that anyone who uses the information display device can easily come up with. Therefore, even if the user does not know the operation method of the grip 13 for changing the first scroll method to the second scroll method or has forgotten it, it can be easily noticed.

  Further, the first scroll method and the second scroll method are identified by changing the display content of the scroll bar 12. Therefore, there is a problem that the display area of the content on the display screen 14 is narrowed when the scroll bar for the second scroll method is displayed separately from the sub scroll bar for the first scroll method, and the two scroll bars. The problem that the scrolling operation is confused by the presence of can be solved.

  That is, according to the first embodiment, anyone can easily change the scroll amount of the display content.

  Further, the specific information adding unit 10 of the display scroll control unit 2 adds specific information such as “marker”, “bookmark”, and “word book registration” to the display content, and adds the contents of the given specific information. The information is stored in the specific information position storage area 4e of the storage unit 4 in association with the designated page. The scroll control unit 9 is configured to scroll for each page to which the specific information is added when scrolling by the second scroll method.

  Therefore, the user determines that the user is important in the past, and the page to which the specific information such as “word book registration”, “bookmark”, “marker”, “note writing” and the like is added is displayed in the first scroll method. It is possible to search for and display again in a shorter time than in the case of, and can be effective at the time of learning or the like.

  In the embodiment described above, the first unit scroll amount is set for each display content in accordance with the last page number of the display content. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be set to a fixed value designated in advance.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, it is made to scroll for every page to which the said specific information was provided with respect to the content to which the said specific information was provided by the specific information provision part 10 of the said display scroll control part 2. FIG. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to scroll for each page to which the specific information is assigned in the same manner, even for the content to which the specific information is given by another specific information giving unit. Needless to say.

Second Embodiment The second embodiment is an embodiment corresponding to claims 1 and 3.

  The functional configuration of the scroll device in the second embodiment is the same as that of the scroll device 1 in the first embodiment. Therefore, the detailed description of the functional configuration will be omitted below using FIG. 1, and the specific hardware configuration of the scroll device is the same as that of the scroll device 1 in the first embodiment.

  The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the specific display scroll control processing operation by the display scroll control unit 2 and the configuration of the storage area of the storage unit 4. Hereinafter, the configuration of the storage area of the storage unit 4 and the specific display scroll control processing operation will be described in detail.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically showing a storage area of the storage unit 4 in the second embodiment. The storage unit 4 includes a content storage area 21a, a scroll mode storage area 21b, a scroll first range amount storage area 21c, a grip position maximum value storage area 21d, a specific information position storage area 21e, and a scroll second range amount. And a storage area 21f.

  Here, the content storage area 21a, scroll mode storage area 21b, scroll first range amount storage area 21c, grip position maximum value storage area 21d and specific information position storage area 21e are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. Are the same as the content storage area 4a, scroll mode storage area 4b, scroll range amount storage area 4c, grip position maximum value storage area 4d, and specific information position storage area 4e of the storage unit 4 in FIG. However, in the scroll mode storage area 21b, the second unit scroll amount set smaller than the first unit scroll amount is used instead of the main point display mode in the first embodiment (corresponding to the second method). It is memorized that the “low range mode” (corresponding to the third method) is to be scrolled.

  The scroll second range amount storage area 21f stores the second unit scroll amount as the number of scroll pages of display content per display dot, which is the unit movement amount of the grip. However, in the present embodiment, “1 page / dot” which is a fixed value is stored.

  Next, the display scroll control processing operation executed based on the control of the display scroll control unit 2 will be described. In the following description, it is assumed that the contents are various dictionaries and reference books as in the case of the first embodiment.

  10 and 11 are flowcharts of the display scroll control processing operation in the second embodiment. When the operator operates the touch panel 5 from the operation control unit 3 to the display scroll control unit 2 and inputs an operation instruction indicating that content display is instructed, the display scroll control processing operation starts.

  In steps S21 to S29, as in steps S1 to S9 in the case of the first embodiment, the storage unit 4 is cleared, the menu screen is displayed, the content selection is determined, and the last page number in the selected content is determined. Storage, calculation and storage of the scroll range amount (first unit scroll amount), setting of “normal mode”, display of the selected content and the scroll bar 12a (grip 13a) in the first scroll method, touch of the scroll bar 12a And the long press of the grip 13a are determined.

  If it is determined in step S29 that the grip 13a has been pressed for a long time without being moved, the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S30, the scroll bar display changing unit 8 causes the scroll bar 12a displayed along the lower side of the display screen 14 to scroll by the second unit scroll amount as shown in FIG. The scroll bar 12c and the grip 13c are changed. Here, the scroll bar 12c and the grip 13c in the third scroll method are displayed with the third display content. The third display content is to set the color of the grip 13c to a set color that is set in advance to be different from the colors of the grips 13a and 13b. In step S31, the storage content of the scroll mode storage area 4b is updated from the “normal mode” to the “low range mode”, and the scroll mode is set to the “low range mode”.

  In step S32, based on the operation instruction from the operation control unit 3, it is determined whether or not the displayed grip 13 of the scroll bar 12 has been dragged on the scroll bar 12. As a result, if it is dragged, the process proceeds to step S33, and if not, the process proceeds to step S36. In step S33, the contents of the scroll mode storage area 21b are referred to and it is determined whether or not the scroll mode is the “low range mode”. As a result, if it is “low range mode”, the process proceeds to step S34; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S35.

  In step S34, the scroll control unit 9 causes the display content 15 to be scrolled by the second unit scroll amount set smaller than the first unit scroll amount according to the drag amount of the grip 13. It is scrolled by the method. The unit scroll amount in that case is the second unit scroll amount stored in the scroll second range amount storage area 21f of the storage unit 4 = 1 page / dot. Therefore, the scroll amount is “number of moving dots of grip 13 × 1” page. After that, the process returns to step S32 to determine whether or not there is a drag. Thus, in scrolling by the third scroll method, the unit scroll amount can be made smaller than in the case of scrolling by the first scroll method.

  Therefore, when the user searches for the target word from the display content having a very large total number of pages, the effect can be exerted when the user wants to scroll slowly because the posted page of the target word is approaching.

  In step S35, since the scroll mode is "normal mode" by the scroll control unit 9, the display content is sequentially scrolled from the drag start position page according to the drag amount and drag speed of the grip 13a. It is scrolled by the first scroll method. The unit scroll amount in this case is the scroll range amount SCL stored in the scroll range amount storage area 4c of the storage unit 4. Therefore, the scroll amount is the “number of moving dots of grip 13a × SCL” page. After that, the process returns to step S32 to determine whether or not there is a drag. Therefore, when the user searches for a target word from display content having a very large total number of pages, if the page is not related to the target word, the drag speed of the grip 13a is increased to increase the scroll speed. Thus, the word search can be performed efficiently.

  Thus, if it is determined in step S32 that the grip 13 is not dragged, the process proceeds to step S36.

  In steps S36 to S38, in the same manner as in steps S16 to S18 in the case of the first embodiment, determination of pen removal from the scroll bar 12, setting of the “normal mode”, and determination of display content browsing are performed. Is called. If it is determined in step S38 that viewing is not stopped, the process returns to step S27 and the display of the current display content is continued. On the other hand, if it is determined to stop browsing, the display scroll control processing operation is terminated.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, the scroll method can be changed by a simple operation of long pressing the grip 13a of the scroll bar 12a. Further, the first scroll method and the third scroll method are identified by changing the display content of the scroll bar 12.

  Therefore, according to the second embodiment, anyone can easily change the unit scroll amount of the display content.

  Further, the scroll control unit 9 of the display scroll control unit 2 is configured such that the second unit scroll is set smaller than the first unit scroll amount when scrolling using the first scroll method when scrolling using the third scroll method. Scroll by amount. Therefore, when scrolling with the third scroll method, the unit scroll amount can be made smaller than when scrolling with the first scroll method.

  That is, according to the second embodiment, when a user searches for a target word from display content having a very large total number of pages, the scroll speed is increased if the page is completely unrelated to the target word. On the other hand, when the target word posting page approaches, it can be effective when scrolling slowly.

  In the above embodiment, the second unit scroll amount is set to “1 page / dot”, but a value smaller than “1 page / dot” (that is, a number for scrolling the display content by one page). It is also possible to set to a value that requires grip dragging for dots. In short, the value is not limited to the above value as long as the value is smaller than the first unit scroll amount. For example, the touch panel 5 may be provided with the input unit for the second unit scroll amount in the form of a drop-down list and may be switched from the input unit.

Third Embodiment The third embodiment is an embodiment corresponding to claim 4.

  The functional configuration and specific hardware configuration of the scroll device according to the third embodiment are the same as those of the scroll device 1 according to the first embodiment. The configuration of the storage area of the storage unit 4 is the same as that of the storage unit 4 in the second embodiment.

  Then, as will be described in detail later, the display scroll control unit 2 branches to a part of the display scroll control processing operation in the second embodiment from the middle of the display scroll control processing operation in the first embodiment, and again. The display scroll control processing operation that returns is executed.

  The touch panel 5 is provided with a selection switch (not shown) for selecting one of the second scroll method and the third scroll method.

  The display scroll control unit 2 first executes steps S1 to S9 in the display scroll control processing operation of the first embodiment. If it is determined in step S9 that the grip 13a has been pressed for a long time without being moved, the user is prompted to operate the selection switch. When the second scroll method is selected, steps S10 to S18 in the display scroll control processing operation of the first embodiment are executed as they are.

  On the other hand, when the third scroll method is selected from the selection switch, the process branches to step S30 in the display scroll control processing operation of the second embodiment, and steps S30 to S35 are executed. After that, the process returns to step S16 in the display scroll control processing operation of the first embodiment, and steps S16 to S18 are executed.

  Thus, when it is determined in step S18 that the viewing of the display content is to be stopped, the display scroll control processing operation is terminated.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the touch panel 5 is provided with a selection switch for selecting either the second scroll method or the third scroll method. Then, when the second scroll method is selected by the selection switch, the display scroll control unit 2 executes scrolling by the second scroll method by the display scroll control processing operation of the first embodiment. To do. On the other hand, when the third scroll method is selected, the processing branches to the same processing operation as part of the display scroll control processing operation of the second embodiment, and the scrolling by the third scroll method is executed. Like to do.

  Therefore, it is possible to selectively change to the other two scroll methods by a simple operation of pressing and holding the grip 13a of the scroll bar 12a and operating the selection switch of the touch panel 5.

  When the second scroll method is selected, the scroll control unit 9 scrolls for each page to which the specific information is assigned. Therefore, the user determines that the user is important in the past, and the page to which the specific information such as “word book registration”, “bookmark”, “marker”, “note writing” and the like is added is displayed in the first scroll method. It is possible to search for and display again in a shorter time than scrolling with.

  Further, when the third scroll method is selected, the scroll control unit 9 uses the second unit scroll amount set smaller than the first unit scroll amount at the time of scrolling according to the first scroll method. I'm trying to scroll. Therefore, when the user searches for the target word from the display content having a very large total number of pages, the user can scroll slowly when the posting page of the target word approaches.

  In the above-described embodiment, either the second scroll method or the third scroll method is selected by operating a selection switch provided on the touch panel 5. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be selected by other methods. For example, the selection may be made based on whether the long press time of the grip 13a is longer or shorter than the set time.

  However, for the purpose of the present invention, it is desirable that the second scroll method or the third scroll method can be selected by a simple operation that anyone can easily guess.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the scroll device 1 is mounted on a portable information device is described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to any information display device having a function of displaying content and scrolling display content, such as a personal computer.
