  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a display example 1 in the conventional display control apparatus. A conventional display control device is a device that performs control when displaying an object such as an image or an icon on a display device 1 such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube).

In the figure, when there is a display instruction, the display control device causes the display device 1 to display, for example, original objects 2 ₁ to 2 ₃ as images side by side in the horizontal direction. The original objects 2 _{1 to} 2 ₃ may be thumbnail images obtained by reducing a large size object.

  Here, since the displayable area of the object on the display device 1 is limited, when the display device 1 displays more objects, the display control device reduces and displays the original object.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, reduced objects 3 _{1 to} 3 ₈ are generated by reducing the vertical size and horizontal size of a plurality of original objects (not shown), respectively, at the same reduction rate. Displayed side by side on the display device 1.

The HDD (hard disk drive) 13 is a large-capacity storage device, and stores an operating system, application programs, various data, files, and the like.

Here, the HDD 13 stores a plurality of original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ shown in FIG. These original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ are data files such as images (still images, moving images) and icons.

Further, when the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ are displayed on the display device 30, the vertical size is H1 and the horizontal size is W1.

  The portable recording medium drive 14 has a function of reading data from a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) or an optical disk. The input / output interface 15 is connected to the input device 20 and the display device 30 and serves as an input / output interface between the control unit 11 and the input device 20 and the display device 30.

  Next, the operation of one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the embodiment. In step SA1 shown in the figure, the control unit 11 determines whether or not there is an instruction to display an object from the user. In this case, the determination result is “No” and the determination is repeated.

When the user operates the input device 20 to instruct display of a desired object, for example, the control unit 11 sets “Yes” as a result of the determination made at step SA1. In step SA2, the control unit 11 reads, for example, the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ shown in FIG.

In step SA3, the control unit 11 generates skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ from the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ as shown in FIG.

Specifically, the control unit 11 holds the original object 40 ₁ with respect to the paper surface (the screen of the display device 30) about the center line J1 in the vertical direction in FIG. counterclockwise angle .theta.1 (fixed) is rotated, and to shorten the right side in accordance with the depth, to produce a skew objects 45 _1. The control unit 11 generates the skew objects 45 _{2 to} 45 ₇ through the same process as the skew object 45 ₁ .

Skew objects 45 _1, to the paper (the screen of the display device 30), an object that appears in the diagonal (skew) made to have a depth of the original object 40 ₁ by an angle .theta.1, width size W1 '(< W1).

As can be seen from the figure, the display area of the skew object 45 ₁ is approximately one third or less than that of the original object 40 ₁ . Further, the skew object 45 ₁ has the feature that the vertical size H1 is the same as that of the original object 40 ₁ , so that the skew object 45 ₁ is easier to discriminate than, for example, the reduced object 3 ₁ (see FIG. 24).

In one embodiment, the angle θ1 shown in FIG. 2 may be variable. In this case, the predetermined angle .theta.1 (where, 0 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 90 ° ) is inversely proportional to the display area of the skew objects 45 _1. That is, the larger the predetermined angle θ1, the smaller the display area of the skew object 45 ₁ .

Also, In one embodiment, the original object 40 ₁ angle θ1 is rotated counterclockwise, an example has been described for generating a skew objects 45 _1, an angle θ1 by rotating the original object 40 ₁ in the clockwise direction, it may generate a skew objects 45 _1.

In this case, the right side of the skew object 45 ₁ has the same vertical size H1 as the right side of the original object 40 ₁ , and the left side of the skew object 45 ₁ is shortened with a depth.

Then, the control unit 11 stores the generated skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ in the memory 12.

In step SA4 shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 11 reads the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ stored in the memory 12, and displays them side by side in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. At step SA5, the control unit 11, the cursor 30C determines whether the top of the skew objects (any one of the skew objects 45 _{1-45 7).}

Here, the user, in order to instruct the skew objects 45 _4, by operating the input device 20 (mouse), move the cursor 30C over skew objects 45 _4, the control unit 11, the judgment result at Step SA5 Is “Yes”. If the determination result in step SA5 is “No”, the process ends.

In step SA6, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 11 displays on the display device 30 the original object 40 ₄ (see FIG. 2) corresponding thereto instead of the skew object 45 ₄ instructed by the cursor 30C. Let

Thereby, on the display device 30, the original object 40 ₄ designated by the user is clearly displayed as compared with the other skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₃ and the skew objects 45 _{5 to} 45 ₇ .

Further, since the display area of the original object 40 ₄ is larger than that of the other skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₃ and the skew objects 45 _{5 to} 45 ₇ , it can be sufficiently discriminated.

In the embodiment, the configuration example in which the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ are generated from the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ after the display instruction is given has been described. However, these are generated in advance and stored in the HDD 13. A configuration example may be used. In this case, when there is a display instruction, the control unit 11 reads the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ from the HDD 13 and causes the display device 30 to display them.

As described above, according to one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the angle θ1 is rotated with respect to the screen of the display device 30 the original object 40 _{1-40 7} (paper), the original object 40 ₁ - Since the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ having a display area smaller than that of 40 ₇ are generated and the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ are displayed on the display device 30 (see FIG. 4), the display device 30 is displayed. Thus, the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ can be efficiently displayed, and the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ can be easily discriminated as compared with the reduced objects whose vertical and horizontal sizes are reduced as in the prior art.

  In particular, one embodiment has a significant effect on the efficiency of displaying objects on a mobile terminal having a small display screen area such as a mobile phone, PDA, PHS, or the like. In addition, when one embodiment is applied to an Internet shopping site, product images and the like can be efficiently displayed on one screen without narrowing the number of products.

Further, according to one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, at least one side (left side in the figure) of each side of the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ and each side of the skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ (in the figure the left-hand side) out of at least one side such that it becomes the same length, so it was decided to produce a skew object 45 _{1-45 7,} as compared with the conventional reduction objects vertical and horizontal sizes are reduced to skew The objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ can be easily distinguished.

Further, according to one embodiment, when the skew object 45 ₄ shown in FIG. 4 is designated by the cursor 30C, the original object 40 ₄ shown in FIG. 5 is displayed instead of the skew object 45 ₄ . As a result, the object to be instructed can be determined at a glance.

In addition, according to one embodiment, the original objects 40 ₁ to 40 ₇ are rotated with respect to the screen of the display device 30 by the angle θ1 about the central axis J1 in the vertical direction. A large number of skew objects 45 _{1 to} 45 ₇ can be arranged in the horizontal direction and displayed efficiently.
