　以下に、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　図１は、本発明の情報処理装置の実施の一形態を示す図である。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of an information processing apparatus according to the present invention.
　本形態における情報処理装置１００には図１に示すように、表示部１１０と、制御部１２０と、カメラ１３０とが設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 100 in this embodiment includes a display unit 110, a control unit 120, and a camera 130.
　表示部１１０は、情報を表示するディスプレイである。また、表示部１１０は、複数の表示領域を持つ。この表示領域は、物理的に１つのディスプレイが複数の領域に分割されて、その分割されたそれぞれの領域であっても良いし、物理的に分離した複数のディスプレイそれぞれであっても良い。また、表示部１１０は、タッチパネル機能を具備していても良い。 The display unit 110 is a display that displays information. The display unit 110 has a plurality of display areas. The display area may be a physically divided display divided into a plurality of areas and each of the divided areas or a plurality of physically separated displays. The display unit 110 may have a touch panel function.
　制御部１２０は、情報処理装置１００全体を制御する。また、制御部１２０は、起動できるアプリケーションの一覧を、複数の表示領域のうち、いずれか１つの表示領域または複数の表示領域全体に表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、あらかじめ設定されたアプリケーションを起動するための情報がアプリケーションの一覧に含まれる場合、当該アプリケーションの一覧を、情報処理装置１００の構造に基づいて、複数の表示領域のうち、いずれか１つの表示領域に表示させる。例えば、情報処理装置１００にカメラ１３０が取り付けられており、そのカメラ１３０を起動するために表示する情報（例えば、アイコン）がアプリケーションの一覧に含まれている場合、制御部１２０は、カメラ１３０が取り付けられた位置に最も近い位置に配置されている表示領域に、アプリケーションの一覧を表示させる。 The control unit 120 controls the information processing apparatus 100 as a whole. In addition, the control unit 120 displays a list of applications that can be activated in any one display area or all of the plurality of display areas. At this time, when information for starting a preset application is included in the application list, the control unit 120 displays the application list in a plurality of display areas based on the structure of the information processing apparatus 100. , It is displayed in any one display area. For example, when the camera 130 is attached to the information processing apparatus 100 and information (for example, an icon) to be displayed to activate the camera 130 is included in the application list, the control unit 120 determines that the camera 130 A list of applications is displayed in a display area arranged at a position closest to the attached position.
　また、複数の表示領域が物理的に分離した筐体それぞれに配置されている情報処理装置１００について説明する。アプリケーションの一覧の中に、利用者の操作で情報を入力するアプリケーション（以下、入力系のアプリと称する）を示す情報（例えば、アイコン）が含まれる場合、制御部１２０は、複数の表示領域のうち、重量の重い方の筐体に配置された表示領域に、当該アプリケーションの一覧を表示させる。また、アプリケーションの一覧の中に、情報が出力されるアプリケーション（以下、出力系のアプリと称する）を示す情報（例えば、アイコン）が含まれる場合、制御部１２０は、複数の表示領域のうち、重量の軽い方の筐体に配置された表示領域に、当該アプリケーションの一覧を表示させる。なお、一般的に、情報処理装置１００が２つの筐体から構成される場合、一方の筐体の重量と他方の筐体の重量とは異なるものであるものが多い。そのため、情報処理装置１００は、上述したような重量に基づく処理をすることができる。 Also, the information processing apparatus 100 in which a plurality of display areas are arranged in each physically separated casing will be described. When the application list includes information (for example, an icon) indicating an application (hereinafter referred to as an input application) for inputting information by a user's operation, the control unit 120 displays a plurality of display areas. Of these, a list of the applications is displayed in a display area arranged in the heavier casing. In addition, when the application list includes information (for example, an icon) indicating an application for which information is output (hereinafter, referred to as an output application), the control unit 120 includes, among the plurality of display areas, A list of the applications is displayed in the display area arranged in the lighter case. In general, when the information processing apparatus 100 includes two housings, the weight of one housing is often different from the weight of the other housing. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 100 can perform processing based on the weight as described above.
　図２は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００の外観構造の一例を示す図である。図２には、情報処理装置１００が、２つの筐体から構成され、それぞれの筐体に配置されたディスプレイそれぞれを表示領域とするものである場合を例に挙げて示している。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an external structure of the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the information processing apparatus 100 includes two casings and each display disposed in each casing is used as a display area.
　図１に示した情報処理装置１００（破線で囲った部分）は図２に示すように、ヒンジ部４００で接続された２つの筐体３００－１，３００－２から構成されており、ヒンジ部４００を中心に開閉自在となっている。また、筐体３００－１には一方の表示領域であるディスプレイ２００－１が配置され、筐体３００－２には他方の表示領域であるディスプレイ２００－２が配置されている。また、ディスプレイ２００－１とディスプレイ２００－２とから、表示部１１０（破線で囲った部分）を構成している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 (portion surrounded by a broken line) is composed of two housings 300-1 and 300-2 connected by a hinge part 400. It can be opened and closed around 400. In addition, a display 200-1 that is one display area is disposed in the housing 300-1, and a display 200-2 that is the other display area is disposed in the housing 300-2. Further, the display 200-1 and the display 200-2 constitute a display unit 110 (portion surrounded by a broken line).
　図３は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００のカメラ１３０が取り付けられた側から見た外観構造の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an external structure viewed from the side where the camera 130 of the information processing apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is attached.
　図１に示した情報処理装置１００をカメラ１３０が取り付けられた側から見ると、筐体３００－２にカメラ１３０が取り付けられている。カメラ１３０は、ディスプレイ２００－２とは反対側に取り付けられている。以下の説明においてカメラ１３０は、図３に示すように、筐体３００－２に取り付けられている場合を例に挙げて説明する。なお、カメラ１３０は、筐体３００－１に取り付けられているものであっても良い。 When the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 1 is viewed from the side where the camera 130 is attached, the camera 130 is attached to the housing 300-2. The camera 130 is attached to the side opposite to the display 200-2. In the following description, the case where the camera 130 is attached to the housing 300-2 as shown in FIG. 3 will be described as an example. Note that the camera 130 may be attached to the housing 300-1.
　以下に、図１に示した情報処理装置１００における表示方法について説明する。 Hereinafter, a display method in the information processing apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 will be described.
　図４は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００における表示方法の第１の例を説明するためのフローチャートである。この第１の例では、情報処理装置１００が起動し得るアプリケーションとして、カメラ１３０を利用したアプリケーションが含まれている場合を説明する。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a first example of the display method in the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. In the first example, a case where an application using the camera 130 is included as an application that can be activated by the information processing apparatus 100 will be described.
　まず、ステップ１にて、利用者が情報処理装置１００に対して所定の操作を行うことで、制御部１２０が、アプリケーションの一覧の表示の操作を受け付けると、ステップ２にて、その表示操作が行われた画面が、ディスプレイ２００－１であるかディスプレイ２００－２であるかを制御部１２０が判定する。 First, in step 1, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the information processing apparatus 100, and the control unit 120 receives an operation for displaying a list of applications, in step 2, the display operation is performed. The control unit 120 determines whether the performed screen is the display 200-1 or the display 200-2.
　その表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－１である場合、ステップ３にて、制御部１２０が、カメラ１３０が取りつけられている位置が筐体３００－１であるか筐体３００－２であるかを判定する。この判定は、情報処理装置１００の構造をあらかじめ記憶しておき、記憶された構造の中から、カメラ１３０が取り付けられている筐体を示す情報を制御部１２０が識別することで実現する。 When the display operation is performed on the display 200-1, in step 3, the control unit 120 determines whether the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-1 or the housing 300-2. Determine if there is. This determination is realized by storing the structure of the information processing apparatus 100 in advance and identifying the information indicating the housing to which the camera 130 is attached from the stored structure.
　カメラ１３０が取り付けられている位置が、筐体３００－１である場合、制御部１２０は、筐体３００－１に配置されたディスプレイ２００－１を表示領域として決定する。そして、ステップ４にて、制御部１２０は、ディスプレイ２００－１に、カメラのアプリのアイコンを含むアプリケーションの一覧を表示する。 When the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-1, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-1 disposed in the housing 300-1 as a display area. In step 4, the control unit 120 displays a list of applications including camera application icons on the display 200-1.
　また、カメラ１３０が取り付けられている位置が、筐体３００－２である場合、ステップ５にて、制御部１２０は、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－１には、カメラのアイコンを表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、筐体３００－２に配置されたディスプレイ２００－２を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－２に、カメラのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－２に表示させるものであっても良い。 When the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-2, in step 5, the control unit 120 does not display the camera icon on the display 200-1 where the display operation is performed. . That is, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-2 arranged in the housing 300-2 as a display area, and displays a camera icon on the display 200-2. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-2.
　図５は、カメラ１３０が取り付けられている筐体３００－２に配置されたディスプレイ２００－２に表示されたアプリケーションの一覧の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a list of applications displayed on the display 200-2 arranged in the housing 300-2 to which the camera 130 is attached.
　図５に示すように、起動し得るアプリケーションである、アプリＡ、アプリＢ、アプリＣ、およびカメラ１３０を起動するカメラアプリのアイコンが、アプリケーションの一覧として、ディスプレイ２００－２に表示される。 As shown in FIG. 5, icons of application A, application B, application C, and a camera application that activates the camera 130, which can be activated, are displayed on the display 200-2 as a list of applications.
　一方、ステップ２にて、表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－２である場合は、ステップ６にて、制御部１２０が、カメラ１３０が取りつけられている位置が筐体３００－１であるか筐体３００－２であるかを判定する。この判定方法は、ステップ３と同じである。 On the other hand, when the screen on which the display operation is performed is the display 200-2 in step 2, the control unit 120 determines that the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-1 in step 6. Or the case 300-2. This determination method is the same as in step 3.
　カメラ１３０が取り付けられている位置が、筐体３００－１である場合、ステップ７にて、制御部１２０は、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－２には、カメラのアイコンを表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、筐体３００－１に配置されたディスプレイ２００－１を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－１に、カメラのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－１に表示させるものであっても良い。 If the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-1, in step 7, the control unit 120 does not display the camera icon on the display 200-2 on which the display operation has been performed. That is, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-1 disposed in the housing 300-1 as a display area, and causes the display 200-1 to display a camera icon. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-1.
　また、カメラ１３０が取り付けられている位置が、筐体３００－２である場合、制御部１２０は、筐体３００－２に配置されたディスプレイ２００－２を表示領域として決定する。そして、ステップ８にて、制御部１２０は、ディスプレイ２００－２に、カメラのアプリのアイコンを含むアプリケーションの一覧を表示する。 Further, when the position where the camera 130 is attached is the housing 300-2, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-2 arranged in the housing 300-2 as a display area. In step 8, the control unit 120 displays a list of applications including camera application icons on the display 200-2.
　図６は、表示されるアプリケーションの一覧にカメラ１３０を起動するためのアイコンが含まれていない場合のアプリケーションの一覧の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a list of applications when an icon for starting the camera 130 is not included in the displayed list of applications.
　図６に示すように、起動し得るアプリケーションである、アプリＡ、アプリＢ、およびアプリＣのアイコンが、アプリケーションの一覧として、ディスプレイ２００－１に表示される。図６に示した例では、アプリケーションの一覧がディスプレイ２００－１に表示されているが、これは、表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－１である場合である。一方、表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－２である場合は、アプリケーションの一覧がディスプレイ２００－２に表示される。また、表示操作が行われた画面をディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２全体として指定できるのであれば、そのような場合は、アプリケーションの一覧がディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２全体に表示されるものであっても良く、あらかじめ設定されている表示領域に表示されれば良い。 As shown in FIG. 6, the icons of application A, application B, and application C, which can be activated, are displayed on the display 200-1 as a list of applications. In the example shown in FIG. 6, a list of applications is displayed on the display 200-1, but this is a case where the screen on which the display operation is performed is the display 200-1. On the other hand, when the screen on which the display operation is performed is the display 200-2, a list of applications is displayed on the display 200-2. If the screen on which the display operation is performed can be designated as the entire display 200-1, 200-2, in such a case, a list of applications is displayed on the entire display 200-1, 200-2. It may be displayed on a display area set in advance.
　このように、アイコンが表示された表示領域にてアプリケーションを起動してアプリケーションによる表示を行う処理が行われる場合、制御部１２０は、カメラ１３０が取り付けられた位置に最も近い表示領域にカメラ１３０のアプリケーションのアイコンを表示させる。これにより、撮影画像がカメラ１３０に近い位置に表示され、利用者が撮影対象を捕らえやすくなる。特に、ヒンジ等で開閉自在に接続された２つの筐体から構成されている装置では、２つの筺体の向きが互いに異なることが多い。そのような場合は、カメラ１３０が取り付けられた筺体に配置されたディスプレイに撮影画像が表示されることで、カメラ１３０が撮影する方向と利用者が撮影画像を見る方向とが同じ方向となり、利用者が撮影対象を捕らえやすくなる。 As described above, when the process of starting the application in the display area where the icon is displayed and performing display by the application is performed, the control unit 120 displays the camera 130 in the display area closest to the position where the camera 130 is attached. Display the application icon. As a result, the captured image is displayed at a position close to the camera 130, and the user can easily capture the captured object. In particular, in an apparatus composed of two housings that are openably and closably connected by a hinge or the like, the directions of the two housings are often different from each other. In such a case, the captured image is displayed on the display disposed on the housing to which the camera 130 is attached, so that the direction in which the camera 130 captures the image and the direction in which the user views the captured image are the same. Makes it easier for the person to capture the object to be photographed.
　図７は、図１に示した情報処理装置１００における表示方法の第２の例を説明するためのフローチャートである。この第２の例では、情報処理装置１００が起動し得るアプリケーションとして、入力系のアプリや出力系のアプリが含まれている場合を説明する。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a second example of the display method in the information processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. In this second example, a case will be described in which an input application and an output application are included as applications that can be activated by the information processing apparatus 100.
　まず、ステップ１１にて、利用者が情報処理装置１００に対して所定の操作を行うことで、制御部１２０が、アプリケーションの一覧の表示の操作を受け付けると、ステップ１２にて、その表示操作が行われた画面が、ディスプレイ２００－１であるかディスプレイ２００－２であるかを制御部１２０が判定する。 First, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the information processing apparatus 100 in step 11 and the control unit 120 receives an operation for displaying a list of applications, the display operation is performed in step 12. The control unit 120 determines whether the performed screen is the display 200-1 or the display 200-2.
　その表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－１である場合、ステップ１３にて、制御部１２０が、筐体３００－１と筐体３００－２とのどちらの筐体が重いかを判定する。上述したように、２つの筺体から構成される装置は、一般的には、２つの筐体それぞれの重量が互いに同じではなく、利用者がノートパソコンのような利用スタイルを取ったとき、下側になる筐体の重量が重いものとなっているものが多い。 If the display operation is performed on the display 200-1, the control unit 120 determines in step 13 which one of the casing 300-1 and the casing 300-2 is heavier. . As described above, an apparatus composed of two housings generally has a lower side when the weights of the two casings are not the same as each other and the user takes a usage style such as a notebook computer. Many cases have a heavy casing.
　筐体３００－１が筐体３００－２よりも重い場合、ステップ１４にて、制御部１２０は、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－１には表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、筐体３００－２に配置されたディスプレイ２００－２を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－２に、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－２に表示させるものであっても良い。 If the casing 300-1 is heavier than the casing 300-2, in step 14, the control unit 120 displays the output application icon on the display 200-1 on which the display operation has been performed. Do not display. That is, when displaying the icon of the output application, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-2 arranged in the housing 300-2 as a display area, and displays the output application on the display 200-2. Display an icon. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-2.
　また、筐体３００－２が筐体３００－１よりも重い場合、ステップ１５にて、制御部１２０は、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－１には表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、筐体３００－２に配置されたディスプレイ２００－２を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－２に、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－２に表示させるものであっても良い。 If the casing 300-2 is heavier than the casing 300-1, in step 15, the control unit 120 displays the input application icon on the display 200-1 on which the display operation has been performed. Is not displayed. That is, when displaying the icon of the input application, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-2 arranged in the housing 300-2 as a display area, and displays the input application on the display 200-2. Display an icon. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-2.
　一方、ステップ１２にて、その表示操作が行われた画面がディスプレイ２００－２である場合、ステップ１６にて、制御部１２０が、筐体３００－１と筐体３００－２とのどちらの筐体が重いかを判定する。この判定処理は、ステップ１３と同じである。 On the other hand, when the screen on which the display operation has been performed is the display 200-2 in step 12, the control unit 120 determines which of the housing 300-1 and the housing 300-2 in step 16. Determine if your body is heavy. This determination process is the same as step 13.
　筐体３００－１が筐体３００－２よりも重い場合、ステップ１７にて、制御部１２０は、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－２には表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、筐体３００－１に配置されたディスプレイ２００－１を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－１に、入力系のアプリのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－１に表示させるものであっても良い。 When the casing 300-1 is heavier than the casing 300-2, in step 17, the control unit 120 displays the input application icon on the display 200-2 on which the display operation has been performed. Do not display. That is, when displaying the icon of the input application, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-1 arranged in the housing 300-1 as a display area, and displays the input application on the display 200-1. Display an icon. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-1.
　また、筐体３００－２が筐体３００－１よりも重い場合、ステップ１８にて、制御部１２０は、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、表示操作が行われたディスプレイ２００－２には表示させない。つまり、制御部１２０は、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示するときは、筐体３００－１に配置されたディスプレイ２００－１を表示領域として決定し、ディスプレイ２００－１に、出力系のアプリのアイコンを表示させる。このとき、制御部１２０は、アプリケーションの一覧も同じディスプレイ２００－１に表示させるものであっても良い。 If the casing 300-2 is heavier than the casing 300-1, in step 18, the control unit 120 displays the output application icon on the display 200-2 on which the display operation has been performed. Is not displayed. That is, when displaying the icon of the output application, the control unit 120 determines the display 200-1 arranged in the housing 300-1 as the display area, and displays the output application on the display 200-1. Display an icon. At this time, the control unit 120 may display a list of applications on the same display 200-1.
　図８は、筐体３００－１が筐体３００－２よりも重く、表示されるアプリケーションの一覧に入力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれている場合のアプリケーションの一覧の表示の様子の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 8 shows an example of a display state of the application list when the housing 300-1 is heavier than the housing 300-2 and the input application icon is included in the displayed application list. FIG.
　図８に示すように、筐体３００－１が筐体３００－２よりも重く、表示されるアプリケーションの一覧に入力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれている場合、重い筐体３００－１に配置されているディスプレイ２００－１に、入力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれるアプリケーションの一覧が表示される。この表示に従って利用者が、入力系のアプリのアイコンを選択すると、入力系のアプリが起動し、当該アプリケーションによる表示がディスプレイ２００－１に行われる。これにより、利用者に近いディスプレイ２００－１に入力キーボード等が表示され、利用者が文字等の情報を入力しやすくなる。 As shown in FIG. 8, when the case 300-1 is heavier than the case 300-2 and the application list icon is included in the displayed application list, the case 300-1 is placed in the heavy case 300-1. A list of applications including input application icons is displayed on the display 200-1. When the user selects an input application icon according to this display, the input application is activated, and the display by the application is performed on the display 200-1. As a result, an input keyboard or the like is displayed on the display 200-1 close to the user, and the user can easily input information such as characters.
　図９は、筐体３００－２が筐体３００－１よりも軽く、表示されるアプリケーションの一覧に出力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれている場合のアプリケーションの一覧の表示の様子の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 9 shows an example of how the application list is displayed when the case 300-2 is lighter than the case 300-1 and an output application icon is included in the displayed application list. FIG.
　図９に示すように、筐体３００－２が筐体３００－１よりも軽く、表示されるアプリケーションの一覧に出力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれている場合、軽い筐体３００－２に配置されているディスプレイ２００－２に、出力系のアプリのアイコンが含まれるアプリケーションの一覧が表示される。この表示に従って利用者が、出力系のアプリのアイコンを選択すると、出力系のアプリが起動し、当該アプリケーションによる表示がディスプレイ２００－２に行われる。これにより、利用者から遠いディスプレイ２００－２に画像等の情報の出力表示が行われ、利用者が情報の閲覧をしやすくなる。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the case 300-2 is lighter than the case 300-1 and the icon of the output application is included in the displayed application list, the case 300-2 is arranged in the light case 300-2. A list of applications including output application icons is displayed on the display 200-2. When the user selects an icon for an output application according to this display, the output application is activated, and display by the application is performed on the display 200-2. Thereby, information such as an image is output and displayed on the display 200-2 far from the user, and the user can easily browse the information.
　なお、上述した例では、情報処理装置１００が２つの筐体３００－１，３００－２から構成され、ディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２が筐体３００－１，３００－２それぞれに配置されている場合を挙げて説明したが、情報処理装置が１つの筐体から構成され、当該筐体にディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２が配置されているものであっても良い。 In the above-described example, the information processing apparatus 100 is configured by two casings 300-1 and 300-2, and the displays 200-1 and 200-2 are disposed in the casings 300-1 and 300-2, respectively. However, the information processing apparatus may be configured by a single casing, and the displays 200-1 and 200-2 may be disposed in the casing.
　図１０は、１つの筐体から構成され、当該筐体に２つのディスプレイが配置された情報処理装置の外観構造の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an external structure of an information processing apparatus that is configured by one casing and in which two displays are arranged in the casing.
　図１０に示すように、情報処理装置１０１は、１つの筐体から構成され、表示部１１０は、２つの表示領域であるディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２を具備している。ディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２におけるアプリケーションによる表示方法は上述したものと同じである。 As shown in FIG. 10, the information processing apparatus 101 is composed of a single casing, and the display unit 110 includes displays 200-1 and 200-2 which are two display areas. The display method by the application on the displays 200-1 and 200-2 is the same as described above.
　また、情報処理装置が１つの筐体から構成され、物理的に１つの表示部が２つの表示領域に分かれているものであっても良い。 In addition, the information processing apparatus may be configured by one casing, and one display unit may be physically divided into two display areas.
　図１１は、１つの筐体から構成され、物理的に１つの表示部が２つの表示領域に分かれている情報処理装置の外観構造の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of an external structure of an information processing apparatus that is configured by one housing and in which one display unit is physically divided into two display areas.
　図１１に示すように、情報処理装置１０２は、１つの筐体から構成され、物理的に１つの表示部１１１が２つの表示領域５００－１，５００－２に分かれている。この表示領域５００－１，５００－２は、ソフトウェア等の設定であらかじめ決められているものである。また、表示領域５００－１，５００－２におけるアプリケーションによる表示方法は、上述したディスプレイ２００－１，２００－２への表示方法と同じものと同じである。 As shown in FIG. 11, the information processing apparatus 102 is composed of one housing, and one display unit 111 is physically divided into two display areas 500-1 and 500-2. The display areas 500-1 and 500-2 are predetermined by setting of software or the like. The display method by the application in the display areas 500-1 and 500-2 is the same as the display method on the displays 200-1 and 200-2 described above.
　なお、情報処理装置が１つの筐体から構成される場合、上述したような重量の軽重の判定はできないが、例えば、利用者が、情報処理装置１０１，１０２を縦型に（ディスプレイ２００－１（表示領域５００－１）とディスプレイ２００－１（表示領域５００－２）とが縦（上下）に並ぶように）保持する際、上側になる方を「軽い方」とし、もう一方を「重い方」として、処理するものであっても良い。このとき、例えば、ディスプレイ（表示領域）の大きな方を「重い方」としたり、表示の向きを一定にすることで利用者が保持する方向を決めて下側になる方を「重い方」としたりするものであっても良い。 Note that when the information processing apparatus is composed of a single casing, it is not possible to determine whether the weight is as described above. For example, the user sets the information processing apparatuses 101 and 102 in a vertical type (display 200-1). When holding (display area 500-1) and display 200-1 (display area 500-2) vertically (up and down), the upper side is the “lighter” and the other is “heavy” May be processed. At this time, for example, the larger one of the display (display area) is set as “heavy”, or the direction held by the user is determined by making the display direction constant, and the lower one is set as “heavy” It may be a thing to do.
　また、センサ等を用いて、情報処理装置の向き（スタイル）を検知し、検知したスタイルに基づいて、上述した処理を行うものであっても良い。 Further, the direction (style) of the information processing apparatus may be detected using a sensor or the like, and the above-described processing may be performed based on the detected style.
