Referring to FIG. 7F, the second control position (C2) is located in a direction in which the reference position (R) extends toward the first control position (C1), and the distance from the second control position (C2) to the reference position (R) is smaller. A control position (C1) - the distance to the reference position (R) is long, and the display content 700 is enlarged and displayed by a processing module (not shown). In contrast, if the distance from the second control position (C2) to the reference position (R) is shorter than the distance from the first control position (C1) to the reference position (R), the processing module (not shown) will display the content. 700 zooms out. In addition, when zooming, the point at which the display content 700 is located at the reference position (R) does not change, it is conceivable that the display content 700 is pinned by the mark symbol at the reference position (R), and the display content 700 is enlarged or reduced as the cursor 130b moves. .

Processing module according to an embodiment of the present invention The group (not shown) converts the reference position, the first control position and the second control position to the appropriate same coordinate space, and the direction from the reference position to the second control position and the reference position to the first control position When not the same, the control action includes a rotation action. Please refer to Figure 7G. The direction from the reference position (R) to the second control position (C2) is different from the direction of the reference position (R) to the first control position (C1), and the first control position (C1) to the second control position (C2) For clockwise rotation, the display module (not shown) rotates the display content clockwise around the reference position (R). In contrast, if the first control position (C1) to the second control position (C2) are counterclockwise rotation, the processing module (not shown) rotates the display content counterclockwise around the reference position (R).

It should be noted that the display content control method of the present invention is not limited to the above-described order of steps, and the order of the above steps may be changed as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
